Mr. Streulli, has been remembered by me for the past 50 years. He taught me to enjoy reading, which no other teacher could do. He was very interesting to listen too and also a very good listener. I am so happy he was there for me. My prayers go out to his family, which I am sure he has left an empty space in there hearts. I am happy to know he had such a good life.

My thoughts are with you, Jean, and with all the Streulis on the passing of Charlie. He was a fine teacher, a great gentleman, and a loving person. I remember the time he brought me the pink lady slippers, which he dug up. He loved nature and people. My sincere condolences, Inge Langer

A truly fine man and a great teacher, one of my favorites at NVOT. He and others at the school instilled a love of English that led to my career in journalism. But I mostly remember his sunny personality!
