Mr. Smith, aka The Dart to us KHS folks, passed away 2/19 at age 91. Thanks to Pat Corpening Hoag for the heads up about the obituary in today's Kirkwood Webster Times. You can see the Obituary here. Several of us were privileged to spend an evening with Mr. Smith not too many years ago, courtesy of Ken and Darleen McBride who had him and some of us to their beautiful Chesterfield home. We had a great time chatting with him and reminiscing. I love to tell the story of my manning (or is that personing?) the KHS Alumni Assn check-in table at Greentree one year, with our large poster of one of our Yearbook pix of him blown up and mounted, hanging from a nearby tree limb. Boy was I ever surprised when he walked up to the table and asked if the poster belonged to me; I said well no, not really, it belongs to the class of 1965...he thought it was great and a bit surprised that we'd remember him all those years later and even bring along his photo.
The visitation is Weds 3/1 4 to 7pm at Bopp, with Memorial Service on 3/2 at 11:00am at Webster Groves Christian Church. I'm thinking his family would love to see many of us who grew up, behave ourselves, and didn't forget him.
