Approximately 200 educators and dignitaries — including State Sen. Jill Schupp, State Rep.Sue Meredith and Brian May from Governor Nixon’s St. Louis office —  attended the event. Fainer spoke to guests about his experiences and each attendee received a complimentary copy of Fainer’s book, “Silent for Sixty Years.”
