Dr. Sandwiess was a family man, but he was a dedicated teacher and education administrator to thousands of young people. He was also a creative, talented man who, on his rare days off, both taught music and played professionally.

I remember him as a man with an exceptional spirit who embodied kindness and gentleness, never speaking a harsh word. Though he's been gone for years, his influence remains strong.

By empowering future generations to pursue their educational dreams, I want to help ensure that his memory and love for learning and music lives on through this scholarship.
