Oakwood High Schoo! 1200 Far Hills Avenue + Dayton, OH 45419 » (937) 297-5325 + Fax (937) 297-5348 Paul 1 Waller, Principat Jay Manving. Director af Athletics & Stunt Activities Kelly D. Owens, Gadlonee Chrirpersion Brock Turmer is truly an exceptional person/student that I thoroughly enjoyed knowing and working with as his high school counselor for the four years he was in high school. | found him to be a quiet, reserved young man who led by his actions more than his words. Brock is the youngest of three children. The family is and always has been close. All three of the children of Dan and Carleen Turner have been raised to respect others, have each other's backs, and to use their talents and abilities to better the lives of others. Brock was an able bodied buddy who helped with the Special Olympics athletes. The parents of those athletes and the athletes themselves felt safe and supported in his presence. Our school is on the smail side so it is easy to get to know the students personally. My point is, | ‘saw Brock often and almost every day during his senior year since he was a student assistant for our office. Special care is taken into account when assistants are being selected. We have to be able to trust the students who work for us, and Brock Turner proved to be completely and absolutely trustworthy. Brock was not only a favorite among his peers, his teachers genuinely respected and appreciated his contributions to their classes. Some of the words teachers used to describe Brock were: Conscientious, hard working, diligent, polite, kind, and responsible. Brack challenged himseif in the classroom taking the most rigorous academic load. On top of his academic effort, Brock spent most of his hours swimming and experienced great success. | was always impressed with the humble way Brock carried himself; he was never boastful or arrogant at all. The verdict of Brock’s trial broke my heart for him and for his family. In spite of what was said about him during that time, what | know to be true is that he is a young man of character, integrity, possesses great love and respect for his parents, honors his friends, seeks ‘opportunities to help ‘others, and is absolutely undeserving of the outcome. | plead with you to consider the good things--the positive contributions—he can make to his ‘community if given a chance to reciaim his life. Respectfully, Mrs. Kelly D. Owens
