“…For example, Dwayne Hunn, speaker for this convocation. It’s difficult to say which recommends Dwayne more, his exceptional speaking abilities or the cause dear to his heart. Talk about an antidote to war... Dwayne is going to speak about the World Service Corps Congressional Proposals, and WSC’s potentials to eliminate root causes of terrorism and other world problems.” 

Tom King, Founder of the Peace Pyramid organization

  Hello Dwayne, er, I mean "Mr. Hunn". You were my history teacher during my junior year ('72-'73) at GHS and a memorable one too. You were a tremendous influence on me in regard to political consciousness and looking beyond the headlines…   I came from a typical Glendora conservative upbringing and supported Nixon just like my parents. I used to challenge you in class but you in turn challenged me to go work for my candidate if I so strongly believed in him. I did and I believe you gave me extra credit for doing so.    However, the disillusionment of the '72 Christmas bombing of N. Vietnam, along with the Watergate mess turned me into a Democrat. I now tell my friends that I'm a "Nixon Democrat."… 

Milo Watts, former student

   “It’s always hard to know exactly how to start a letter of recommendation. The task is both very easy and extremely challenging when I think about writing one for Dwayne Hunn. It is easy because I believe he is a true professional educator in every sense of the word. But it is extremely challenging because I’m not sure I can communicate to you on paper the tremendous effect he had on my life.

  My first exposure to Dwayne was as a 15 year old student in a high school.social studies course entitled “Emerging Nations.” It was here that I got my first exposure to the global social issues of adequate housing, food, and medical facilities. Dwayne was able to make the curriculum come alive for us by supplying personal anecdotes about his Peace Corps work in India…”           

Dave Mooney, Upland High School Administrator

    “I consider him among the best speakers I have seen at public meetings and a very good presenter.  Now I hire him to work on projects with which I and my partners are involved… One of the reasons I like Dwayne and have come to accept many of his positions revolves around his persistence.  Often the mass of people and political leaders have opposed his position, yet he has continued to make his points, defend his stands and provided polite but firm counter points to what others would be saying or ignoring.  In my mind, he has been one of the few people who have led public officials and rasied the public’s consciousness by pushing and educating them and political leaders to adopt his sensible  and thoughtful means to address our region’s traffic, housing, energy and development needs.
