Leonard Gebert--Veteran Profile



**Thank you to our veteran's who were gracious enough to be interviewed during our annual veteran's breakfast.  We appreciate your service!

Leonard Gebert is an Army veteran who enlisted into the service and stated that he was in the Army twice.  He does not remember any of his instructors, and said that he didn’t really have a problem with the food saying that, “If you were hungry, you ate.” He did not really travel anywhere or see combat since he was in the reserves.  To pass the time, they used to go swimming a lot and did not really do any pranks on each other.  After leaving the Army, he went to work and was not supported by the G.I. Bill.  He enjoys going to reunions when they come up.

Sharon Isherwood, French Teacher "When I was 26, my mother was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor.  From one day to the next, I moved back to Pittsburgh from Paris and helped care for her until her passing four years later.  I have since lost my father to leukemia and have to say that I am still dealing with the loss of both of my parents.  Thanks to time, friendships and the love and support of my husband, I try to focus more on the joys of life rather than the sorrows."

Dennis Reagle, Science Teacher “If I could write a message to my children I’d say, as long as you're doing what makes you happy and taking care of those who depend on you, you're making me happy."

Melissa McConville, Math Teacher "Upon graduation from Saint Vincent College, I was awarded the President’s Award. The winner of this award was determined by the SVC college community -professors, faculty, staff and student body. This humbling and inspiring award had a big influence on my confidence as a student leaving college to find and make a place in the world. I can’t express how much it meant to me to receive this honor from so many people that believed in me and that I admired - teachers, mentors, and friends. I still feel such humility and pride as the winner of this award. I hope as a graduate and alumnus I have continued to bring pride to the Saint Vincent College community. "
