fulfilled the mission of priesthood, serving his
fellow human as a teacher, principal, and
educational administrator at the state level, in
addition to his role as husband, father, and friend.
Told with a sense of humor, a conversational style,
and an insatiable excitement for life despite life altering
events early in his life, Keilman's story is an
inspiration to all who read his stories and lessons.
