Whenever I think of Greenhouse, I think of Tom Spacek [Head of the Co-School]. He was a great role model and fantastic problem solver. I enjoyed having him as my first boss in high school when I served as a janitor at Greenhouse. I remember that when we got out of line as students, he was very just. I still use his “fork in the road” and “shooting a prayer arrow to heaven” analogies at least once a month. In his words and actions, he really showed me it’s not just the Bible but it’s the Bible applied to your life that counts.
