Mr Craumer helped many area writers go on to refine and publish their work through his generous endowment of The Natalie Craumer Writing Workshop, held at The Fredricksen Library in Camp Hill. I was proud to lead this distinguished group, and Mr. Craumer often popped into class to listen to the progress of the writers. He always told me how much he enjoyed the experience.He will always have a special place in my heart.My condolences to the family. Peace.

As alumni of the Natalie D. Craumer writer's workshop, at Fredricksen Library, I just can say thank Mr. Robert Craumer, we will keep writing and do something for better education all over the world.
