Dr. Marburger gave me my teaching start at Moniteau in 1996. I appreciate all that he did for me and for the children of our district. He brought technology to our district long before many neighboring districts thought to do so. Blessings to the family.

To Mr Marburgers family you have my deepest sympathy. He was a wonderful man. At the time he was at Moniteau School District I had the pleasure of talking with him several times I drove school bus for Campbell Bus Company at that time you all lived on my bus route he had a pond on his property and had several ducks multiple times I would have to stop the bus and wait for the mother duck and her ducklings to cross the kids on the bus thought that was the cutest thing. You all take care it was such a joy knowing him. Janet Stansfield
