Child sexual abuse survivor Guerry Glover was greeted by thunderous applause when named one of Darkness to Light's "Voice of Courage" award recipients at the non-profit's annual gala benefit last November. For those in the community who remember the shock that accompanied Glover's initial report of abuse at the hands of his teacher Eddie Fischer at Porter-Gaud, the award was a healing salve on a tender wound. Glover's decision to come forward prompted 12 other victims to press criminal charges against their perpetrator. Fischer eventually admitted to abusing more than 40 boys and was sentenced to 20 years in prison (he died in prison in 2002). We don't get many opportunities to stand up for our heroes, so thank you Guerry; we applaud you.
