2010 HONORARY ALUMNI

Barbara Greiner

I graduated from St. Joseph Academy in 1966 and earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Education from The Ohio State University in 1971.

As most spouses of Bexley graduates do, I moved to Bexley with my husband, Tim Greiner, a 1965 graduate of Bexley High School. We had four daughters, all Bexley High School graduates. Allison ‘94, Ady ‘96, Angela ‘98 and Ashley ‘01. Two of my sons-in-law are also Bexley graduates, Michael Vincent ‘92 and Justin Morrow ‘00. I have five granddaughters and hope that at least some of them will also be Bexley graduates. Some days I feel like I really did graduate from Bexley.

When asked to be Honorary Bexley Alumni, my first thought was "you mean Tim." He loved the days he spent at Bexley High School and the tremendous group of men he called his friends. The friendships he developed at Bexley lasted to the day he died last August and continue through their spiritual bond today. I could recite to you by heart all the stories about "the boys" Gary Herwald, Ed Wagstaff, Ed Weston, Tom Williamson, Joe Sebering, Leon Friedland , Kenny Stone and Billy Caplin. I witnessed first hand how wonderful an experience Bexley High School generously offers its students.

I have been with the Bexley Recreation Department since 1989 and have been blessed to be affiliated with the Bexley Recreation Scholarship Fund and DARN (Developmental Assets Resource Network). The definition of affiliate is to associate oneself with - I am just the person who connects the needs of some with the generosity of others. I accept the honor of Honorary Alumni for all the many people who have generously contributed both to the Bexley Recreation Scholarship Fund and DARN. I also accept this honor for all the members of the DARN Board. They are truly the most noble group of individuals to have walked through my life.
