I started as a student at Woodbrook Jr. H. and remember hearing your name and understanding the position you held in our school district. I moved on to CPHS and eventually worked in the maintence Department as an Electrician.
Thank you for giving our schools great teachers, administrators, sports and buildings to learn and play. You developed many young men and women that came to contribute to our cities near and far. Thank you Mr. Mageness for my success in life.

Sarah and Paul,
I thank you both for a lifetime of friendship and am thankful for our fellowship in the Lord. I count myself among the tens of thousands of kids who benefitted from Olai's keen leadership of CPSD, even though I just took for granted that effort in my younger years. May you and the rest of the family find joy in celebrating a life of service well lived, one committed to the God who cares for the widows and the orphans, our Sovereign Lord.
