"Hello. What a nice site. Good job by all involved. Hey, this past June the new athletic facilities were dedicated to Ilion graduate, Class of 67, long time teacher, coach and Athletic Director, Bob Turley. What a great honor for Bob and well deserved. Bob graduated from Springfield College and returned to his alma mater, Ilion, to teach, coach and mentor thousands of Ilion students. Bob has touched so many Ilion graduates in such a positive way. Bob's commitment to the students of Ilion High School is second to no one I have ever encountered. Turl, thanks from all of us who know you and have had the experience to play for you. Much happiness in you and Rory's retirement. Coach Robert Turley, Class of 1967, has left his mark on Ilion High School." (Dec 15, 2007)

Former classmate, Edward J. Conte, age 59, achieved the honor of being a torchbearer in the Salt Lake 2002 Olympic Relay in Greenville, S.C. He had to carry the torch for his 2/10 of a mile while in a wheelchair due to his muscular dystrophy. Edward currently lives in Loudon, Tenn. He's the second member of his family to join the select list of people chosen to carry the Olympic flame. Conte's daughter, Danielle, 32, was a torchbearer in Greensboro, N.C. for the 1996 Summer Olympic Games which were held in Atlanta. His daughter, along with several friends, wrote a letter to the Olympic Committee nominating him for the honor. "It was magical. It was fantastic. I tried to think of all the people who have helped me through the years in my child advocacy work. I felt like I was representing all those people," said Conte of his torch-bearing experience. Ed's route did not begin until 11 p.m. "It was fantastic. There were crowds of people lined up in the streets and the sidewalks who were really cheering me on. Even at 11 there were tons of people out," said Conte, who added that the feeling of national unity at the Relay was particularly strong because of the events that happened on Sept. 11. Among those rooting him on were several members of his family, including both of his sisters, Donna Fifield and Norma Powers of Ilion, his wife, Jeanette, Danielle and his other daughter Kristen. In addition, some of Conte's friends from Vestal, N.Y. were on hand for the occasion. Ed's journey of community service started in Ilion as a teen-ager, when he became active with youth programs at the Methodist Church and the YMCA. Currently, Conte is trying to establish a child advocacy center in Tennessee that would provide several services in one place for children who have been sexually abused. He is the son of the late Iva and Louis Conte of Ilion and has also been actively involved with the Make-a-Wish Foundation along with other advocacy-minded organizations.
