Paul E. SCHAFFNER

Paul was an honorable person. I will miss his wit and commitment to the Governing Board of Directors at Rural Resources. I thank him for his service, counsel and advice over the 25 years we worked together.

Herr Schaffner taught us not only German, but good citizenship. He often drew life lessons from the stories he told, and I still remember them today. I think he had perhaps more impact on me than any other teacher from my youth. The world seems different knowing that he is not here any more.

If there are teacher who can inspire you Herr Schaffner was one of them. I remember may days listening and repeating verbs in German. He made many of us feel we could be better citizens if we spoke more than
English. Looking back I now know how correct he was. I know how important was to teach for him as I am finishing my 24th year of teaching. Guten Nacht mein professor.

I have such fond memories of first period German class at Mead High School. Herr Schaffner was a Mead treasure, to be sure!

I had Herr Schaffner for German for 2 years at Mead. Our class was alot of fun. He kept us laughing. I wish his family many blessing and fond memories.

Paul spent a long and productive career at Mead High School as a German teacher. I have fond memories of Herr Shaffner and his sense of humor. I am richer for having known him and I will think of him with affection. Sincerely, Carla Nuxoll, teaching colleague at Mead High School
