Remembering Wally Ohles

PREA would like to take this time to remember one of the most caring and giving people we have ever had the honor of knowing. Wally dedicated much of his time and energy to many worthy causes. Some of those causes included serving as Secretary/Treasurer of the Lions Club, being a charter member of the Paso Robles Historical Society, acting as Curator of the Carnegie Historic Library, working with Friends of the Adobe and serving as Secretary on the Paso Robles Education Alliance (PREA) board of directors. He taught just about every Paso Robles High School student how to drive a car. He will be truly missed. We are all blessed to have known you Wally.

Wally Ohles, 2012

Recently, PREA was fortunate enough to donate $20,100 towards the "Classroom of Tomorrow" project. These funds were used to purchase much needed equipment for 53 classrooms at seven school sites. 2,390 students will receive a direct benefit from the new classroom technology. A special thank you from PREA to Scott Knuckles, the Technology Guru at Paso Robles High School, for his invaluable assistance in organizing and making this project possible.
