Bio
Ron Long
I would like to express that Allyson Bain made quite an impact as a student at Vernon Hills High School. I have never seen such a determined and resourceful person in all my years as a Guidance Counselor. She made great headway into developing rights for people dealing with certain disabilities. She is charming and presented a maturity beyond her years. I marvel at her decisiveness as an individual and her pronounced decision making skills. I enjoyed knowing Allyson as a person and hope that her future is rewarding and secure. Yours Ronald B Long Counselor at Vernon Hills High School 1978-2011 now retired
