HI-LIFE IILSHS Class of 1957

Vol XI # 2 Ed Heinlein, E IC Emeritus Feb 2013 Happy . . . !!!! and “Fearless Leader”

“Back in the day” this would have been dropped in your personal fancy-decorated

Valentine’s Box on your school desk, but since everything has been so improved (?) I

will simply send it to your email box! Since our modern technology is what brought

us all back together again, I guess I shouldn’t make fun of it, huh? But you really

can’t compare an email message to a face-to-face HUG!

And that brings me to the February “Photo of the Month” . . . showing the HUG

between Rowena (White) Garner and Benita (Rogers) Margolis, meeting at the

breakfast held during our 50th

Reunion weekend at the VFW Hall in Lee’s Summit

back in 2007. We had a great turnout and all had such a wonderful time visiting

with each other in person!!

An update from our

“fearless leader”

Ed Heinlein

Serious musings have plagued me this past month. When I first got in touch withmembers of the Class back in 2001, I was shocked to learn of the number of us who had passed on to the Great Study Hall in the Sky. Now, a dozen years later, after we haveconnected, reconnected and accomplished so much, so many more of us have fallenand/or have been profoundly afflicted by a whole panoply of monstrous ills, diseases andaccidents. Most recently , the plight (and fight, knowing him) of Harold Shewmaker,

who is in my own personal Hall of Fame, has brought to mind some troubling decisionswhich are facing the Class. Mainly: What’s Next?,. Where Do We Go From Here?. . .and ultimately, What’s Gonna Happen When We’re All Gone?

What’s Next? This one’s easy. GTG! April 11-14, details to follow in the Marchissue. There will be a time for all Class attendees to provide input into what follows below. We will be adding additional information to the packet we give to the Scholarshiprecipient at the Ceremony (which will be held as usual, on Friday, April 12 at 9:00a.m. inthe Brockman Hall).We are preparing separate Histories of Paul, the Class, theScholarship, the 1950s (!) and, possibly, the early years of LSHS. Also will be includedinformation about how the Scholar can maintain contact with the Class and an invitation

to do so. It is our intention to have “final draft” copies of each of these documents for inclusion in the next issue so we all can review them for glaring omissions or errors.

Where Do We Go From here? It struck me the other day that 2014 will be the 57th

anniversary of the Class of 1957! (57x2?...57 squared?...57’s 57th.?)- This will be afitting time for the culmination (that is the height and apex, not the end ) of a thirteenyear effort by our “bunch of little ole country boys and girls” to re-establish once andfor all that ours is the Best Class EVER! Consequently, it is my hope that we will treatthe 2014 GTE as our (next to-) Last Hurrah. (Who knows when “the Last” one will

really be? I know I will be coming back for my Lee’s Summit “fix” at least once a year

until……..) We should have a fabulous party with all the bells and whistles of our Fabulous Fiftieth. This should also be the date for our final endowment goal of $50,000(after fees and awards through 2014). This should be a fairly easy target as we alreadyhave over $45,000. (This does not mean that we stop accumulating funds, as many of uswill continue our individual gifts honoring fallen Classmates, friends and family and incelebrations of import. Additionally, the Fund will be benefitted by “planned giving”

through trust and estates, as some have arranged already.)

(Cont’d on next page)



What Happens When All of Us Are Gone?A great deal of thought has gone into answering this question. Among our choices arefor us to turn over the funds then remaining to the Lee’s Summit Educational Foundationfor them to do with as they please. We could also direct the Foundation to award thethen-existing balance to one or two lucky recipient(s). The course which appeals most to

me, however, is to keep the ball rolling, so to speak. We could establish over the nextfew years a Committee consisting of members of the Class, previous Coverdell Scholars,an administrator (Vice-Principal?) and possibly a member of the Lee’s Summit

community (the Mayor?...the Editor of the Journal or Tribune?). I believe we couldarrange a committee of folks such as these, who might consider serving and keeping alivethe memories of the members and accomplishments of Paul and the Class of 1957 . . . aworthy and meaningful civic duty.

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY! SEE YOU IN APRIL

February’s CLASSMATE BIOGRAPHY . . . Sharon (Barker ’57) Melich

(Currently living in Lenexa, KS )

I think we must be born with the love of certain things ingrained in our souls. Some of the

things that have nurtured my soul have been dancing, dogs, and water. My love of water

probably began at one year old when I sat on the steps of the baby pool at Unity and joyfully kicked my feet in six inches of the cool stuff. Over the following seventeen years or

so I quickly ventured down the sloping bottoms of Unity’s pools and tried to become partfish. After graduation from L.S.H.S., I traveled forty miles to join the synchronized

swimming team at C.M.S.C. until I felt ready for prime-time and the Pacific Ocean became

my horizon.

Daughter No.1 was born in Newport Beach, California, then we moved a few miles down thesand and settled in at Dana Point. Daughter No. 2 was born in Laguna Beach.

Fortunate enough to be a so-called “stay-at-home mom,” I didn’t stay at home a lot. The

dashboard of my car was wallpapered in Post-it Notes – drop off/pick up/to/from gymnastics

class, cheerleading practice, etc. I was a successful campaigner for school bond issues andcommunity parks but, after a few years, burned out on the politics of such work. I helpedcoach girls’ softball, groomed my daughter’s horse for shows, and chaperoned some really

terrific JROTC field trips.

As a Girl Scout leader I excelled at cooking classes and interesting craft projects, but

camping(?) not so much. My idea of a good campsite was The Beverly Hilton. So, when

campout weekend brought a rare deluge of rain, I surrendered to my limitations and called

in the Marines. One of the girl’s f ather was a Captain and brought out four take-chargeguys. They set up our mini tent city and threw ropes up over tree limbs for the girls to

swing over the mud puddles. The girls had a ball. I was sitting in my tent early onemorning, dreading the thought of venturing out into the drizzle, when a burly arm emergedthrough the tent flap holding out a large steaming cup of coffee. That may well have been

the best cup of coffee I ever had. Semper Fi!

A separation and eventual divorce brought me back to the K.C. area where I touched acomputer keyboard for the first time and applied the typing skills Miss Thomas had instilled

many years before. Being pretty organized, a bit creative, and an experienced eater, I wentto work for a newspaper editorial service working with the advertising departments of numerous food companies (Quaker Oats, C&H Sugar, Kraft, etc.) to produce full color food

pages for national newspaper weekly food sections.

Along the way, Larry Melich came into my life and we currently live with our two Toy

American Eskimo dogs in Lenexa, Kansas. My deck hangs out over a small nurturing pond

and, although I don’t swim in it, an occasional row boat cruise is fun.

Daughter #1 and her family of six children (5 boys and a girl) live in Alaska and daughter

#2 still lives in Dana Point, California with her twin boys.

G’kids “Memories Are Made of This”

Today (1-26) is little Katie's birthday. She is all of four exciting years of age. Later today wewill have dinner and cake and presents. She is so on pins and needles. She is the perfect mixture

of a prissy Tom boy.

We all went to the Pine Box Derby to support Andy, he is a Bear Scout and he came inthird. My son, Jocko, is an Eagle Scout with a Vigil in the Order of the Arrow. It's the most youcan achieve in Scouts. So we want to encourage Andy. He is a super athlete.

Annmarie is the most "girlie" and feminine child ever. She does not care for pants and wearsfrilly dresses every day, no matter the weather.

I stay with them two to four days a week and some on weekends. They are keeping me saneand very busy. I have been doing a lot of art projects with them. We paint rainbows in order to

learn primary and secondary colors, also how to mix all colors. I also try to have them maketheir own "unique" greeting cards. We also make a lot of gifts.

They are learning to read and we go to the library every other week. Katie selects good picture books. I love to make things for them and try to make a costume for each onHalloween. That way they let me accompany them "Trick-or-Treating."

Since I knit "for my sanity," I have made dresses and sweaters, hats and mufflers for them. Also, I make afgans for these three and for my other five grandchildren. They arecertainly keeping me busy. I hope all our classmates have wonderful children to fill their livesand keep them thinking young.

Katie Andy Annmarie

I will keep you included in some of their activities.

Stay healthy and happy.

Love, Pat (Callahan) Graham

(From the Lee’s Summit Journal . . . Thursday, Sept. 27, 2012 )

Lee’s Summit a misspelling?

Was the city named after a doctor or general? By Russ Pulley

A copy of a sales poster is a hint on how Lee’s Summit got its name.

For decades there have been competing histories, even dating back to an 1866 “misquote” in theLouisville Journal which said the town was named for Confederate General Robert E. Lee. Many arearesidents settled Missouri from the South, were expelled during the war, and returned when it ended,still defiant after the Confederacy surrendered. So they favored that account.

The other version, also from the Civil War, might have a little more evidence.

Dr. Pleasant Lea was a prominent settler who, with his brother, ran a store and stage line at a site atabout Chipman and Douglas intersection, said Kathy Smith, president of the Lee’s Summit HistoricalSociety.

Lea was tortured and assassinated by Union soldiers or Jayhawkers seeking information aboutSouthern sympathizers in the area. Lea was killed on Sept. 12, 1862, so this year is the 150thanniversary of his death, Smith said.

While Lea was alive the area was called Big Cedar. That much is known from an abstract of U.S. PostOffices. Here the tale gets murky, Smith said, as many records were lost during that turbulent time,so there’s no absolute proof.

William B. Howard, recognized as the town’s founder, platted his town with the name Strother in1865. Strother was his wife’s family name. But the area was apparently already known for Dr. Lea and

his land at the high point of elevation between Kansas City and St. Louis. Railroad surveyors referredto the area as Lea’s Prairie. After the war, the stories say, Lea’s name was put on a box car donated

to be the first depot, when the railroad finally was built through the area. Reportedly the sign paintermisspelled Lea’s name, using two e’s and leaving out the apostrophe. Lea’s name also was misspelledon one side of a stone culvert near the station, but spelled correctly on the other, according to thisversion.

Now here is one detail that evidences that the town was indeed named after Pleasant Lea.

A poster Howard printed to advertise lots he put up for sale in his subdivision referred to as “Strotherformerly known as Lee’s Summit on the Pacific Railroad,” Smith said.

The copy is in the historical society’s collection. It indicates that Lea’s name was already established inthe area before the end of the war in April 1865. This part of Jackson County was unpopulatedbecause the Union had forcibly evicted the residents because of the rebellion. Strother was platted in

the fall that year, the fame of the Confederate general didn’t really have time to become popular asthe localities name.

The town people of Strother petitioned to change the name to Lee’s Summit in 1868, but kept the two “e” spelling because it was already in circulation.

“I honestly believe it was named after Dr. Lea,” Smith said.

Health Updates From: Harold ShewmakerSent: Friday, January 25, 2013 10:22 AM

We got home from Houston yesterday afternoon. The folks at MD Anderson have their

act together. I was impressed with the Dr. I saw, and all activities were well planned and wait

time was minimal. The bottom line is they agreed with the chemo approach my local Dr.

Flanagan recommended. I go the NKCH this afternoon to have a Port put in to receive my

chemo treatments. I will get three different chemo treatments over about a 2 month time

period. I will then get a CAT scan to determine the progress. The objective is to slow or stop

the growth of the cancer in my lungs and pancreas. Also if the cancer has spread to other parts

of my body it should stop or eliminate smaller growths.

I have a scheduled appointment with MD Anderson in mid-April to determine any

progress and further treatment. The objective is to contain the cancer because it can’t be

eliminated so I will probably have some sort of chemo the rest of my life however long that willbe. I can only take it one day at a time and keep a positive attitude. I’m going to give it my best

shot. Thanks for all your prayers.

And from Harold on Jan 30th . . .WELL I’M OFF AND RUNNING. I GET MY FIRST TREATMENT AT 9:00 AM THIS MORNING. I GET 3

DIFFERENT CHEMO INFUSIONS AT THE SAME TIME, AND IT WILL TAKE 6 HOURS. ONE OF THEM TAKES 48

HOURS WHICH I TAKE HOME WITH ME IN A LITTLE FANNY PACK GADGET. I REPEAT THIS PROCEDURE

EVERY 14 DAYS WITH ANY ADJUSTMENTS THEY DEEM NECESSARY. THIS MAY PUT A CRIMP IN MY BEER

DRINKIN HABIT, BUT I GUESS I CAN HANDLE THAT. WISH ME LUCK

And again on Feb 4th . . .Well one down and who knows how many more to go. I finished the 48 hr. infusion last Friday,

and the last few days have not been fun. A good deal of pain, nausea, and in general just

feeling very bad. But I am hangin in there and ready to go for the next round which should

begin next Wed the 13th. I have very little energy, but am breathing easier, and getting around

ok. Carolyn is a Trooper and is waiting on me hand and foot. I don’t know what I would do

without her.

Our dog Murphy has been trying to do his part { see attach.} to pick up the slack for my lack

of beer drinkin, but if I were you I would hold off on buying any Bud. stock until I get back on

my feet. Thanks for your support and prayers.

Looks like Murphy is trying to help all he can, Harold.

Keep your spirits up and know all our prayers are with

you.

MY HEALTH PROBLEM (minimal compared to Harold’s by the way): My Dr. sent me infor an MRI on my right shoulder where I’ve been having lots of pain. Dr.'s office called toconfirm that I have a torn rotator cuff! She's made an appointment for me to see a shoulder specialist March 13th at NKC Hospital. This should be fun . . . NOT!!!!

Marilyn Pruyn hit it right on the head with a recent email . . .

I expect to use this word a LOT!(Carl said he never thought he would hear either of the ‘57 Marilyns say the “s---“ word …EVER! Just shows whatold age will do to you. OR, possibly, being aroundCarl & Dean for so many years??)

And from the mailbox . . .

On the 15th of January, after sending out the Jan. NL, I received the following surprise from LuAnn

(Mrs. Jack ’58) Smith . . . “I just finished reading the newsletter. I am also a Nave descendant and

related to the McGraws!” . . . then she continued her message, laying out her Nave connection!

Sounds like LuAnn and I may be distant cousins! Talk about a small World!! I’ve sent her info on

to my “Calif. Cousin” who is currently investigating to see just where we both are perched in the

family tree. Just shows you’ve gotta read this NL very closely or you just may miss something

really important and interesting

Our reply from Chris . . . Hi Marilyn, Quickly looking at the people in LuAnn's tree I think sheis your 6th cousin once removed. I have also attached a "tree" showing your kinship. – Chris

From Louise (Bernard ’59) Hobbs . . .Enjoyed the NL so much. Thanks to all who "visited" with you - and HAPPY BIRTHDAY to everyone this month. Good health and times for the New Year. Louise

Then, a few days later, I received this message from Louise . . .“I fell last Tues. - really hurt myself - keep forgetting I'm not 30 anymore...hit my lower back and head onour hardwood floor. Had a tennis size lump on the back of my head; could hardly move for a while.Wayne and our son got me up and to the bed....put ice on my head. Went to Dr later and nothing wasbroke but will be SORE for a few weeks! Still have a walnut size lump but not as tender now. I wasafraid of a blood clot, but he said I would be showing signs by now.”

Rest up and heal quickly, Louise!

And from Eve (Cook) Hoygaard in Colorado . . .

A bright spot in a somewhat dreary winter was meeting Judy Ann Y-D-Hicks for breakfast. The Bill H's

joined us too. We caught up on what we'd each been doing through the past weeks/months. One ratherodd co-incidence is that when my Bill H was in the ER (the Gastric Virus) one recent Monday evening, herBill H was in a different area of the same hospital. Both Bill's seem to be doing well now. We did notknow about this at the time it occurred. Small world! We are planning to meet for Lunch with RetailTherapy in the near future.

It continues to be so terribly dry here. Very little snow in the metro Denver area. Had one 65 degree daylast week, then light snow about 24 hours later. Still hoping to be able to travel to MO in April but

nothing is confirmed. It could be a very nice time to visit. Happy Valentine's Day ! Evelyn

Lila (Warren ’58) Roasa sends a photo and message . . .

THE ‘58 GIRLS ENJOYING LUNCH AT BOB EVANS, LEE'S SUMMIT, on JAN. 14th. LOTS OF LAUGHS AND CATCHING UP ON ALL THE NEWS -- SOME GOOD AND SOME SAD. OUR THOUGHTS ANDPRAYERS GO OUT TO ALL. PROUD ALUMS FROM LSHS................

L-to-R around table: JOYCE (ALLEN), LINDA (STARK), VIRGINIA (SMITH), BONNIE (MUCKEY), LILA (WARREN), CAROL (DOWNING), LINDA (CORNELIUS), CAROLYN (PERRY) and Carolyn’s sister JOYCE(PERRY ’59)

And a more recent note from Joyce (Allen ’58) Hook . . . Just a note this am to let everybody know that we have a new great granddaughter. Name is Mazie (havenot picked a middle name) Chaffin. 8lb 7 oz. Had a hard time, but all is fine. Little Finnley is very excited

about her new sister. JKH

And still another great-granddaughter … Joyce & Gene Bailey just welcomed their 12th

grandchild. I told Joyce in “chat” Monday night that they are “cheaper by the dozen!”

A note from Margaret (Davis ’57) Offen . . . Really not much to put in it this month. We have been pretty much homebodies since it's so cold. Have

gone to see a couple of movies and of course, our regular Saturday morning brunch at Ameristar. If

anyone would like to join us some Saturday morning (you don't have to gamble) for brunch just give us a

call. It's all you can eat for $16.99 with champagne if you want it. They do have a good variety of food.

The 18th of January was my granddaughter Lily's 8th birthday and Ric had a party for her. She is getting

so big and is into cheerleading and all other kinds of sports. They live in Iola, KS and Ric gets her every

other weekend. My other granddaughter will graduate from high school on May 31st. We are going to

fly to Austin for a celebration of her graduation. My son is arranging all the details for us. Don't really

like to fly but it's a special occasion so guess I will. Then we want to fly to Denver in the summer and

drive to Crested Butte (where we spread my Mom's ashes) and check it out. Haven't been there for 6

years.

Hope you had a good birthday Marilyn. They are rolling around too fast anymore. Must get busy with

daily chores so will cut this short. Hope everyone is well and Harold hope you are doing okay. Margaret

Safety Patrol … “be aware”

Home Safety Check-up for Older Adults

No matter how old you are, there’s no place more important to keep safe than your home. Lastyear, more than one million people 65 years and older were treated in hospital emergency roomsfor injuries associated with products in the home. Frequently, accidents occur because of lack of maintenance. As you get older, so too do the things around you. And just like you go in for regular check-ups, you need to give your home a safety check up, too.

Take a walk through your home, and use the following checklist to spot possible safety hazards.If you spot a potential problem, take the appropriate action to fix it immediately.

Kitchen – Make sure all your appliances bear the UL Mark. Check all electrical cords for fraying or cracking; step stools for splitting or cracking materials; and throw rugs for tripping hazards like bumps and turned-up corners.

Living room – Check all rugs and runners; electrical cords; lamps and other lighting;inspect the fireplace and chimney for fire hazards; and make sure all passageways areclear.

Bathroom – Make sure all small appliances bear the UL Mark. Check bathtub andshower, rugs and mats for slipping hazards; the water for possible burn hazard; andcabinets for safe storage of medications.

Bedrooms – Check rugs and runners; electrical and telephone cords; and make sure thearea around the bed is clear of items that could cause tripping.

Basement/garage/workshop – Make sure all power tools bear the UL Mark. Check fuseand breaker boxes for possible malfunction and shock and fire hazards; cords on tools andextension cords; and lawn and garden tools and supplies. Check for proper ventilation andmake sure flammable liquids are stored properly.

Stairs – Check for proper lighting on and around stairways; handrails and steps for possible defects or weaknesses; and stair coverings for possible tripping hazards.
