CARNEGIE — A 102-year-old Pittsburgh-area man has died a day after receiving the Distinguished Eagle Scout Award from the Boy Scouts of America.

Esther Queneau said that her husband, Bernard, “just hung on” so he could receive the award Saturday. That also happened to be her 90th birthday.

The Scott Township man died Sunday, a day after receiving the honor from the Laurel Highlands Boy Scout Council and the National Eagle Scout Association.

The award was established in 1969 for those who have been Eagle Scouts for more than 25 years and continued to demonstrate outstanding career achievement. Fewer than 2,200 people have received the award.

Bernard Queneau volunteered for 20 years with Meals on Wheels, volunteered at a local library and as an escort at St. Clair Hospital.

HERSHEY — Mairi Cooper, a music educator in the Fox Chapel Area School District who was named Monday as Pennsylvania's 2015 Teacher of the Year, said teachers stimulate classroom discussions and help students “build the castles of their imaginations.”Cooper, who was selected for the honor from a group of 13 finalists, teaches Advanced Placement Music Theory, Orchestra, Piano and World Music at Fox Chapel Area High School, where she's in her 14th year. She is also the director of the high-school orchestra and chairwoman of its music department.In remarks after receiving the award at the Keystone Awards of Excellence program in Hershey, Cooper said her parents gave her three rules growing up: work to your potential, be a member of good standing in the community and always be home for dinner at 6 p.m.At the dinner table, family conversations became robust discussions that she likened to building castles, with moats and turrets. Some castles they tore down and rebuilt, she said.“The kitchen table is the dream I have for my students,” Cooper said. “This is what teachers across America try to do for their students each day.”
