The legacy of Carl lives on in thousand of students touched by his kind spirit and belief in their abilities. I was blessed to benefit from his leadership as a TCC student and spend a "campaign season" around the kitchen table. He has left this world a better place than he found it. Love and prayers to the Opgaard family.
