Pat Seghers
Principal of County Line Elementery School, Mr. Seghers has been the driving force in presenting this project to the Germantown School Board. He has worked closely with Brad, the faculty and those companies and volunteers in making sure all bases were covered to make this climbing wall a reality for the 500 plus children that attend this school. He also helped in the preparation work for the mural wall, which included sanding, painting the base coat of paint on the wall and continued to help put up 200 ft. rolls of plastic needed to cover walls around the area Brad needed to spray large quantities of paint.

 

Rick Krueger
Mr. Krueger has been a custodian at the school for over ten years. He has been instrumental in helping Brad with everything from removing wall brackets, filling the holes in the wall to helping Brad tape and mask off the dolphins. He has come in after hours on his own time to assist Brad with any thing he might need done such as picking up paint, making sure the large lift Brad uses is cared for and plugged in at night and ready to use the next day. Mr. Krueger has come in on the weekend and worked closely with Brad 14 hours straight assisting Brad during the long and tedious process of spaying the wall by maneuvering the lift so Brad could use both hands in spraying the large background. He has been an invaluable asset in making sure Brads could spend his time working on the wall rather than moving the sprayer hoses, thinning all paints for the sprayers and finally cleaning up afterwards which in it self was a major undertaking. Brad says: This mural would not be where it is today, if it weren't for help and dedication Mr. Krueger has provided to me. Many Thanks!

 

Kevin Nodolf
Physical education teacher Mr. Nodolf, was the one who first came to principal Seghers regarding the idea for a mural, after seeing one in a magizine. He was also one of those dedicated people that stayed after school and came in on the weekend to do the prep work on the wall. He has been someone that has had to reconfigure his gym classes around this major project, which has not been easy.

 

Lisa Westling
Art teacher, Lisa Westling, was responsible for seeking the grant money to help fund any needed costs for supplies, etc. Lisa will also be working closely with the fifth grade children who will be involved in working on the mural. The children will work on ideas and drawings of oceanic life that will later be projected or traced on the wall and then painted by the children themselves.
