Inspirational Quote about Derrick Lutters
"I had the wonderful fortune of being one of Derrick's sixth grade teachers. He passed through my life with a smile and a wink. During our year together we worked on a veterans' project that left all of us feeling very proud and patriotic. As a young man he stepped into those shoes and did what he thought needed to be done. He will always be my hero."
- R. Peters of Louisburg, KS
