The Piedmont Educational Foundation Board wishes to recognize and honor Bill Drum as a committed PEF board member and devoted volunteer to our schools. His passing leaves a significant hole in our organization. We will miss him – his good humor, big-picture practicality and ability to reach across divides to bring people together. Every community should be so lucky to have someone of his spirit and generosity working on its behalf.

One of the last projects he was involved in was Measure A, the school support tax. If you read your March 5th ballot carefully, you will find his name at the bottom of the rebuttal argument in favor of Measure A. Last Thursday the Piedmont Educational Foundation voted unanimously to endorse Measure A, joining Bill in his support.

Thank you, Bill, for your dedication and vision on behalf of education. Your legacy lives on!
