Robert Hecht served as Superintendent of the Weyauwega-Fremont School District during the 1996 Weyauwega train derailment, a hazardous materials disaster that led to the evacuation of the entire city. In the midst of chaos, Hecht's steady leadership helped safeguard students, support families, and guide the district through weeks of uncertainty. His calm presence, clear communication, and deep care for the community earned him lasting respect and recognition.
This book is written by his grandson, Izaac Hecht, a faith-rooted artist, photographer, and advocate for emotionally honest storytelling. Izaac's creative work centers dignity, clarity, and connection-values passed down through generations. Steady in the Storm is both a historical tribute and a personal reflection, honoring the quiet strength of a man whose leadership helped a town endure.
