S-E readies for 'Wall of Fame' inductions

SHERBURNE – The third annual induction ceremony for the Sherburne-Earlville Central School District Wall of Fame will be held on Thursday, May 19 at 7 p.m. in the elementary school’s band room. The public is cordially invited to attend.
The Wall of Fame is designed to honor S-E graduates and staff who have made significant contributions to humanity, improved the quality of life, or achieved noteworthy recognition in their career or education.
This year’s honorees are:

Elizabeth Fagan – A highly respected member of the Sherburne-Earlville High School English department, Betty Fagan is remembered not only for her remarkable teaching skills, but also for her genuine concern for her students. Whether she was leading a discussion on a novel, illustrating a point in English grammar, helping a student choose a college, or advising former students after her retirement, Mrs. Fagan guided and inspired hundreds of students over a long career.

Lenny Sue (Mayne) French – A member of the S-E Class of 1985, Lenny Sue French has been a public school teacher for twenty-two years, most recently as a math and science teacher at Mendenhall Middle School in Greensboro, North Carolina. The recipient of numerous teaching awards from several national organizations, Ms. French and her sixth, seventh, and eighth grade students won a national contest to design an experiment for the Space Shuttle Endeavor. Their experiment on the effects of micro-gravity on a living organism will fly on the next-to-last mission of the space shuttle program.

Dr. Nicky J. (Williams) Leeborg – An S-E graduate from 1994, Dr. Leeborg is a hematopathologist and assistant professor at the Oregon Health and Science University. After graduating from Clarkson University and SUNY Upstate Medical University, Dr. Leeborg was a pathology resident and surgical pathology fellow in Oregon. She has won numerous awards, including the Lee C. Van Wagner Scholarship, the Department of Pathology Photomicroscopy Award, and the Oregon Health and Science University Rose Award.

John McDaniel – It would be hard to find a more dedicated public servant than John McDaniel. The owner of The Sherburne News, Mr. McDaniel was the Town Clerk of Sherburne for fifty-five years and was honored by the New York State Senate for his many years of dedicated service. A veteran of World War II, he received the Silver Star for gallantry in action in 1944. Mr. McDaniel still resides in his family home on East State Street and is a strong supporter of many community groups.

This year’s inductees and their families will be honored at the reception, and refreshments will be served after the ceremony. Plaques for the honorees will hang in the front entrance of the high school after building renovation is complete.
