Ray Lehner, Retired Respiratory Care Technology Faculty Member

“I’m a very lucky man, a very fortunate man…a very privileged human being because I was part of Moraine Valley in the early days, the earliest.”

Lehner shares stories of a faculty who respected, encouraged and loved each other…and they still do. They had humor and fun, cracking jokes about each other, sharing stories and insights. They joined their minds and opinions, and no one was stopped by failure. They always found a way. He came to Moraine Valley because it was the place he could make the biggest difference. He calls it a resource, a reference, a refuge, a lifeboat, a safe haven, and for some a second home. Humphrey Bogart said, “This is what dreams are made of.” Lehner responds, “Welcome to Moraine Valley.”
