We seem to all be suffering a common problem these days, WHERE DID OUR LIVES GO? Our brains seem to still be 18, but our bodies are talking a different language. Sarah Orne Jewett puts it much more eloquently than do I:

“Neither of my companions was troubled by her burden of years. I hoped in my heart that I might be like them as I lived on into age, and then smiled to think that I too was no longer very young. So we always keep the same hearts, though our outer framework fails and shows the touch of time.”

KHS 63 & 65 ATHLETES INDUCTED INO ATHLETIC HALL OF FAME CLASS OF 2024 CHECK OUT MORE HERE

 This link will take you to the recent article in Webster Kirkwood Times about our athletic stars!  The photo is all of the inductees who attended whom we could get herded onto the riser.  I proof-read the text twice for various publications and people, but they still didn't get it right. Jim Olson and J L (Joe) Charleville (KHS63) should have ** because they are unfortunately no longer living.  Joal was there with us to honor her brother Joe.

Here is the link to the recent article:

Front row l to r:  Gary Schmidt on end, Rod Bruckdorfer w/ cane, Doug McDougal KHS63 (62 team honoree), and our own Bob Leonard.  

Second row between Doug & Bob is Phil Mills (KHS66).  Note in text, Rod was honored for both teams, he was on the winning team our sophomore and senior years!  The inductees marched in single file onto the football field Friday night to be introduced individually.  AND the PIONEERS beat Pattonville 50 - 20!  Gorgeous evening to be out and great game!

I was thrilled to be invited to all of the festivities by virtue of my 12 year old nomination of the team of 1964/65 for the Hall of Fame - it was about time they were honored.  And as a side note, Jim Olson was already honored as an individual in the Athletic Hall of Fame and Gary Schmidt previously in the Alumni Hall of Fame for his stellar career as a lawyer and jurist.  See my other FB posts and the Kirkwood High School website Hall of Fame listing for ALL members of the HOF since its inception.

What a whirlwind weekend it was, good fellowship, gorgeous weather and even great food!  Dinner at PJs in Kirkwood Saturday night was fun and tasty too!  Lee & Karen Walters, Dianne Eddins Cook & hubby Frank, Karen Lowe Adams and members of Gary Schmidt's family PLUS a drop in surprise appearance by Steve Woodard added to the festivities of our dinner.

Our appreciation goes to all the staff of Kirkwood High School who were SO accommodating to us all, especially those who needed a bit of extra help; warmly welcoming and watching out for us at all the events, we felt very special!
