Caldwell — who also served as president of the Madera and Oakhurst Community College centers — will begin her new job immediately after her local duties are completed. She will be at Reedley College at least through June 30.
Caldwell, speaking by phone May 1 after attending a State Center Community College District trustees meeting in Oakhurst, said leaving was an extremely difficult decision.
“This is very bittersweet for me,” she said. “Reedley College is an outstanding institution and it’s exciting what we have accomplished here. I will always have Reedley College in my heart.”
In a written statement sent out before the meeting, Caldwell said it was an “honor and privilege” to have served as president of the three educational institutions and work with staff and members of the communities.
“There’s a great team of leaders in place that will continue to motivate and inspire stu- dents to succeed and provide students a clear road map to a better future,” she said.
George Takata, director of marketing and communications at Reedley College, confirmed that Caldwell told faculty and staff on May 1 that she had accepted the Wyoming job. He said she broke the news to Paul Parnell, chan- cellor for the SCCCD, on April 30.
The Wyoming Community College Commis- sion states on its website that its mission is for commissioners to “provide coordination, advo- cacy funding and accountability” for the com- munity college system on behalf of the state of Wyoming. In addition, commissioners advocate for both colleges and their students while high- lighting their pursuit of access, progress and attainment of educational goals and objectives.
Before becoming associate vice president for planning and improvement at Western Wy- oming Community College, Caldwell was the associate vice president for student learning.
Before her first stint in Wyoming, Caldwell spent 10 years at Paris (Texas) Junior College as quality assurance and institutional effec- tiveness chairperson, mathematics chair, and mathematics faculty.
Caldwell earned a doctoral degree in su- pervision, curriculum and instruction in higher education with an emphasis in community col- leges from Texas A&M University-Commerce. A native of Oklahoma, she previously earned a bachelor’s degree in mathematics education from Oklahoma State University and a mas- ter’s degree in statistics from OSU.
Takata said Reedley College is not planning on hiring an interim president. The college will begin a national search for a new president as soon as possible, but a timeline hasn’t been es- tablished.

Gerawan court case nears decision

The court of appeals is hearing the case in which Gerawan is seeking to allow votes from the decertification election to be acknowledged and counted. Oral arguments were held in court on April 21. Jesse Rojas, with the “PIck Justice” action group, said a ruling is expected within 90 days.

Reedley-based Gar Toote- lian, Inc. joined the Fresno Grizzlies minor league base- ball team to donate $2,500 to the California FFA group to help re- place items stolen last month.
The donation will be used to replace awards that thieves took from a trailer on April 18. The trailer from Galt was loaded with audio/visual equipment, awards, thousands of Disneyland tickets, and registration materials ready for shipment to Anaheim in
preparation for the 90th Annu- al FFA Leadership Conference that began on April 22.
Karen Musson, managing partner for Gar Tootelian, said in a news release that she was contacted by Grizzlies presi- dent Derek Franks and asked to help out.
“The State of California FFA is a vital part of the Central Valley and something we hold very close to our hearts,” Mus- son said. “Once Derek called, we jumped right on board and were glad to help the kids that mean so much to us.”

families that drew more than 70 people.
“To see them joyful, having fun, it was like a big family again,” she said. “I sat back and
would look around and see all the hugs.
“It was like I had called a big timeout [and said] ‘now it’s time to get back together.’ And
they did.”
Morgan asked former players in the audi-
ence to stand. A good number of women rose from their seats.
“These are the people who have the re- cords. You are the ones behind all that,” Mor- gan said. “This is a great honor, I really appre- ciate it.”
Pete Romero
Romero thanked God for his being at his induction, after a brush with death in 1998. He said he took Rezulin because he was a diabetic. He said the medication attacked his liver, gave him jaundice, and led his doctor to declare that Romero only had 30 to 60 days to live even though he still was physically active.
“I went home. I had property, and I sold it.
Photos Contributed
I had businesses, and I closed them and just stayed home,” he said. “Three weeks passed, and I took a blood test. My doctor called me, he’s all excited. He goes ‘Guess what? Your liv- er is patching itself up. It’s functional. You’re not going to die.’
“I said ‘Oh wow, I get another shot at life.’ So that’s why I’m so happy to be here today.”
Romero also thanked his mother for teach- ing him to run in front to tire out runners chas- ing him. He also said the money quality com- petitors he ran against “pushed me, because I didn’t want to lose.”
Romero thanked coaches like Iwasaki and Cam Ostrand, who hooked him up with work- out programs used by world class U.S. like Jim Ryun and Gerry Lundgren. He praised Mitchell for making biology exciting for him. Romero went on to major in biology in college at Texas El-Paso and later taught biology for 20 years.
Romero thanked the Hall of Fame commit- tee for selecting him in creating the event.
“It’s something that’s real valuable in our community and should continue. We should all support it,” he said.
