Event Description:
The Yes We Can! program showcases the wisdom and experiences of people who are 80 and over. Since 2014 we have celebrated more than 350 Great Lakes Bay artists, scholars, scientists and community leaders as they encourage and motivate us to be active, contributing community members at every age! Art and Judy have been married since 1960. Both Miami University graduates, their careers in education began in Ohio and eventually brought them to Michigan – Judy as an elementary school teacher and Art as Assistant Junior High Principal, Principal, and Assistant Superintendent for Personnel and Labor Relations. The couple moved to Midland in 1985 when Art became superintendent of Midland Public Schools. He has served on several community boards and citizen committees, and chaired fundraising drives for United Way and Junior Achievement. He is a recipient of the Gerstacker Award and the Dr. Martin Luther King Recognition Award. Following his retirement in 2000, Art served as professor of Educational Administration at SVSU. When Judy taught 5th grade in the Coleman Schools she was recognized by CMU and the VFW for excellence in teaching. She was also recognized in the Voices program as one of the Extraordinary Women of Midland County, served on the Symphony board, was president of both the Chippewa Nature Center board, and her PEO chapter, and was a founding board member of Mackinac Straits Raptor Watch. Judy remains active in League of Women Voters and the Midland 100 Club.
