A teacher who helped start the school, another who fell into teaching and a 24-year vice president make up the first members of the college's Hall of Honor.
For Glenn Stehr, random encounters with old friends are common. "One time the nurses in the hospital kept coming to say hi, and the person next to me asked, 'Who are you?'" Stehr said. A former professor of biology at Prairie State College, Stehr often runs into his former students. "The veterinarian for my dog was one of my ex-students," Stehr said. "My dentist was one of my ex-students." Stehr, Dale Haywood and Jim Troutman recently were named to the inaugural Hall of Honor class for Prairie State College.
