Gary Reiners started teaching at Murdock High School in 1973. He was an Industrial Arts teacher, Speech and Drama teacher. I had Gary for several Speech Classes. In 1976 Murdock High School won the Conference Speech trophy. This started a tradition of MANY award winning speech teams at MHS. He chaperoned many students to the state speech contest, including myself. He was a wonderful teacher who challenged you to be your best. I certainly owe some of my career success to the teachings of Gary Reiners! When his health declined, I spent many phone conversations & visits with him. He loved animals, and especially Izzy, Chica and Kitty among his other pets. Rest In Peace Gary-I am sure your parents, Izzy, and your other furry friends have greeted you…
