Powers, who comments: " As a music educator, Dick Kline spent his
entire career helping young people excel musically. As Hempfield's
Music Supervisor, he touched the lives of thousands of students
through his influence in the development of classroom music programs,
curriculum, and performing groups. I believe that Dick Kline, through
his many contributions to the improvement of music education locally,
regionally, and through PMEA, is very worthy of the Distinguished
Service Award." District 7 President James Kimmel presented the award
