Comments:

I left Kinsley after the 1987-88 school year and moved to the Chicago suburbs. I went to work as a music and youth leader at a small church. I've been at the same church for 20 years. After 7 years, the pastor of the church left and the church called me to be the pastor. Who woulda thunk it? I never planned on being a pastor, but there you have it.

School Story:

I loved teaching in Kinsley/Offerle. I have a zillion memories - band ball, "the game" (ask Brad Scott about his dad's license plate), Marching band, marching choir, pep club and all the trinkets on your shirts; Annie, the Music Man, Lil Abner; Pep band; the Choir singing the National Anthem for the Kansas City Royals on Mother's day 1988 was a highlight. The hardest thing by far was leaving - because I loved the students and the members of the community.
