I really enjoyed my class back in 1982 with Mr. Dienhart. I could tell he enjoyed teaching.
God Bless

Dr. Dienhart was a wonderful instructor at EdCC. I learned a lot from his classes. I am a better person for knowing him. My thoughts and prayers go to his family.

Mr. Deinhart was my favorite instructor in my two years at EDCC, 1974-76. Turns out he liked history, I liked history. He liked basketball, I liked basketball. He was a very effective instructor for all levels of students, made classes interesting. Had some great visits with him in his office. Have remembered him over the years, sorry he left his family and the earth. A very good man.
