Canfield Class of 2011

Galleries | Videos | Audio | Documents


Canfield High School graduate Dr. Robert G. Duffett had some words of awakening for the school’s Class of 2011: Life isn’t all about you. Duffett, who graduated in 1972, is president of Dakota Wesleyan University in Mitchell, S.D., and was the speaker at Sunday’s graduation ceremony in Cardinal Stadium. He said he was thrilled to return to his hometown for the commencement and got a special kick out of walking across the football field to the speakers’ platform. “I had the privilege of playing in the first football game here at Cardinal Stadium,” he said.
