posts dean’s list

at Hocking College, Nelsonville,

Entering Way Library, patrons
young and old often
visit the bench featuring two
children reading a favorite
book. Now, thanks to a donation
from the Davis family of
Perrysburg, there is a companion
piece on the other side
of the library entrance–a
bench with a place to sit aside
chocolate lab assistance dog
“Cubby.”
From 1994 until his death
in 2005, Cubby was a faithful
companion and service dog to
Breck Davis, the middle son
of Bill and Pam Davis. Breck
suffered a spinal cord injury
at age 20 when he was hit by
a car while riding his bicycle
on Roachton Road.
Now 40, Breck recently
marked another milestone in
the long road of recuperation
–he received his Ph.D. in curriculum
and instruction from
the University of Toledo. Dr.
Davis looks back at Cubby as
one of the key ingredients in
his successful response to the
challenges of becoming a C-5
quadriplegic.
“Cub helped me get on
with my life,” said Dr. Davis.
“He made me think outside of
myself. Suddenly I had the
responsibility of caring for
another living thing. I could
take him wherever. Cub always
kept me laughing with
his silly antics. ”
After his injury in 1993,
Dr. Davis spent six months in
the hospital, including extensive
rehabilitation at Craig
Hospital in Denver. The accident
had occurred on summer
break after he had completed
his second year at West Vir-
The German-American
Festival Society announces

School. She studied German
for four years under teacher
Sharon Turner. While at

as president of German Club.
Kayleigh’s grandmother
(Oma) was born in Germany,
so she frequently speaks German
with her, and the family
celebrates many holidays
using German traditions that
her Oma practiced. In the future,
Kayleigh plans to travel
to Germany to see where her
Oma was born, and meet relatives
who still live there.

Club. Elise still has many
family members in Germany,
and plans to visit soon to
meet them and see where her
great-grandfather was born.
Growing up, Elise was raised
with many German traditions,
and her family attends
the Schwaben Verein Waldfest
and the GAF each summer,
where she has
volunteered at the GAF for
the past two years. This fall,
Elise will continue her education
at the University of
