Born June 11. 1970 and passing from this life March 16, 2001, my brother, John Joseph Keuter had many educational hardships. This resulted in a short lived life. As we reached the age to go to school, I being the oldest proceded first. However, as we were adopted from different families and with different dispostions, this caused great conflict in the school system. My brother had great difficulty in school and was being compared to his older sister (Erin) consistantly. With his dyslexia and ADD it was impossible to think that we would approach schoolwork in the same manner with the same results. This museum is in the memory of my brother. Each child is different and their situations are different. Others have chosen to forget him and foresake his memory after his tragic death. We will continue to promote education in his name and do our best to make sure history does not repeat itself. If you are looking for a gravesite or a headstone to mark my brother's passing, you will never find one. He was never even given an obituary to mark his passing. The museum is his memorial and our work is our devotion to his memory. Rest in peace, J.J. I will keep the promise that we made to each other. |
