C. Gene Engles

Gene was a dedicated, stalwart colleague. So happy he had a full and dedicated life

Sister Francis, it was a blessing when Bro. Gene came with Bro Randy and Shirley to Mexico to visit. We appreciated and enjoyed staying in your home during the missions conference one year. All are special memories to us. Jack especially enjoyed the opportunity at church to talk with Bro Gene this past fall while we were in the States. We're praying for you at this time. Love in Christ, Jack and Marcia Slaughter.

A dedicated colleague. Thanks for your service to America and to Vo-Tech

I had Mr Engles for an 11th grade history class, US Wars Since 1865. It was a class I enjoyed a great deal. He had a reputation among the student body as a tough disciplinarian. Personally, I found him to be strict, but also quite fair.

Every Wednesday was Quiz Day. Every Friday was Test Day. On Thursdays the class would review our quiz results, and on Mondays we´d go over Friday´s test. Mr Engles encouraged students to question anything that was marked wrong. On numerous occasions he would reverse himself and give me credit if I interpreted a question differently than he had intended. It didn´t take long before other students in my class began asking me to present their point of view to Mr Engles. While I´m certain I lost far more of those "challenges" than I won, I do know for certain we both enjoyed the mini debates.

I also remember him as having a pretty good sense of humor. That was something he never got enough credit for from most students.

Thank you Mr Engles for the lessons you taught me, both those from our textbooks and those that helped me grow personally.

I have enjoyed the black walnuts Gene and his wife Fran pick out of the shells each year,I love them.Barb and Bill Edwards

I met Mr. Engles at Red Lion Bible Church when he was a Sunday School teacher. I really enjoyed his calm demeanor and he kept everyone's interest in the Bible stories. When I went to Vo- Tech I had him as a teacher.
