A Tribute to Mr. Greckel

This was a very nice article on “Wil” Greckel that appeared a few days ago.

['Wil' Greckel, who worked to bring music to IUS, dies]

For those that didn’t know him, it was their loss. He was a great asset to IUS and our community. For those in the orchestra and music programs, he will be missed. I’ve had both family and friends play in the orchestra with him and have thoroughly enjoyed his enthusiasm and continued interest in the growth of the music programs here at IUS.

We look forward to others like him bringing further vision and growth to our outstanding local college. I am hoping that we eventually get residential facilities (dorms) so that continued growth can be realized here in New Albany.

We have a true asset in our University and I believe it gets shortchanged by many in our community. It does not get the needed publicity or community support it deserves and I would love to see that change.
