In addition, these individuals will serve as an inspiration to the students ofPerry Public Schools, encouraging them to live their dreams and to pursue personal excellencein all future endeavors.

The members of the charter committee of the Distinguished Alumni Hall of Fame begantheir work early that year. Their task was to establish the policies and procedures that wouldguide the future selection of all Distinguished Alumni Hall of Fame inductees. These memberswere nominated by the Board of Education and represented a cross-section of school and com-munity members.

After determining the nominating criteria and process, the final task of the CharterCommittee was to recommend individuals to serve on the Selection Committee. This commit-tee was also comprised of a diverse cross-section of people including representatives from thePerry Board of Education, the Perry Historical Society, school administration, staff, students,and community.

You could say that Robert Lyons success in life “grew” from a love of horticulture whichhe has shared as an educator, community member, and entrepreneur for the last 25

years. Lyons graduated from The Ohio State University in 1967 with a degree inHorticulture. In 1969, he began sharing his passion and interest in this field as an instruc-tor for Ashtabula County Joint Vocational School. From 1971 through 1982, Lyonsexpanded his knowledge of the nursery industry while working in wholesale productionnurseries in the states of Oregon and Ohio. In 1982, he planted the seeds of a very fruit-ful family enterprise that 25 years later has grown into the Sunleaf Nursery located inMadison, Ohio.

In addition to cultivating a successful family business, Lyons has championed the nurs-ery industry by accepting leadership roles in many organizations throughout the years. Hehas served the Lake County Nurseryman's Association (President 1986), The OhioNursery and Landscape Association (President 1988), the Horticultural Research Institute(President 2000) and the Wholesale Nursery Growers of America, a division of ANLA(President 2000). During his time on the board of HRI the endowment increased by 40%and annual grant funding grew by 100%. In 2001, he was honored by the Ohio Nurseryand Landscape Association with the Distinguished Contribution Award.

Robert Lyons also tirelessly gives back to the community through service to the HoldenArboretum Board, the Madison Public Library Foundation and the Madison TownshipBoard of Appeals. The Madison/Perry Chamber of Commerce honored Bob and his wifeCarol in 2005 for Sunleaf Nursery as Business of the Year.

Commenting on his community service he says, “I have found that giving of my timeand energy to others, whether it be family, friends or community has been tremendouslyrewarding and the return to me has been tenfold.”

With twenty-seven years in the U.S. Navy, Commander Kevin Marty, a registerednurse, has never been far from his love of learning and teaching. After graduating

Cum Laude from Bowling Green State University in 1980 with a Bachelors of Science inNursing, he joined the Navy as a staff nurse, then as an instructor for the Hospital Corps.Moving quickly into leadership within the Navy, he spent time as Division Officer at Navyhospitals abroad and in California.

In 2000, he received his Masters Degree in Educational Technology, and in June 2001,Commander Marty was promoted to Head of the Educational Technology Division ofNaval Medical Center in San Diego, California, where he designed a comprehensive CD-ROM orientation program for use on the USNS MERCY hospital ship, the largest floatinghospital on earth. Focusing his talents on producing key educational programs, he savedthe Naval Medical Center $1.5 million in development and man-hour training costs overa three-year period.

During his distinguished Naval career, Commander Marty received two Navy andMarine Corps Achievement Medals, four Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medals,and in 2005 was honored with the Meritorious Service Medal for outstanding achievementto the United States.

Currently, Commander Marty is beginning a new career with Scripps Mercy Hospitalas an Education Technical Specialist where he designs and develops computer-based train-ing for two of the busiest hospitals in San Diego County. He advises current Perry HighSchool students to choose a career that excites them and that they enjoy. “Life is too shortnot to love what you are doing,” he says.

Summing up his greatest achievement since leaving his Alma Mater, Marty says, “I feelthat a great achievement is something that is long lasting. So I feel my greatest achieve-ments are my great children, who are growing up to be wonderful adults. That is what Iam most proud of!”
