GET YOUR KICKS.....right here in River City...
We St. Louis area folks are in for a treat courtesy of MO History Museum and KHS65 classmate Susan Croce Kelly come July 31 and August first. POLITICS AND PAVEMENT: THE UNLIKELY BIRTH AND INCREDIBLE LEGACY OF US HIGHWAY 66... Susan is an expert on this subject, just google her name in connection with Route 66 and you'll see...She will be giving the lecture named above at the MO History Museum in Forest Park, free parking, great place for a day's outing at 1pm on 7/31 and 10:30am on 8/1. Let's have a nice group of her pals there to hear her presentation and applaud loudly for her! The program is free and open to the public.
KIRKWOOD LOSES AN AMAZING MAN & CIVIC ADVOCATE
If you are or ever were a Kirkwood resident, I recommend your reading this obituary. In fact, if you like to learn about interesting, worthwhile, valuable human beings I recommend your reading this obituary. It may be the longest obit I have ever read in our St. Louis Post Dispatch; maybe some of the Buschs or Anheusers or some such, but there are not many this complete. I followed Keith's Kirkwood K-Mail blog for some time, a great way to keep up to date on Kirkwood goings on. He leaves an amazing legacy that we should all admire and aspire to...ohh, but not with a dangling participle!

Mini Reunion planned for Greentree Festival Weekend
It’s party time again for KHS65! The committee has planned
a fun mini-reunion over Greentree Festival weekend in Kirkwood Sept. 16
& 17, 2016.
Fri., Sept. 16th: Kirkwood amphitheatre at Kirkwood Park, 6-9pm, for Motown Revue (best band in St. Louis!). Look for the Kirkwood Class of 1965 banner on the hillside above the amphitheatre. Come early (we will be there by 5:00pm) and enjoy the wine garden, food tents and just enjoy Kirkwood’s opening night of the annual Greentree Festival. The Greentree arts and crafts festival is open all day Saturday and Sunday.
Sat., Sept. 17th: 612 Kitchen and Cocktails, 612 W. Woodbine, Kirkwood, 6:30pm til close (cash bar). We look forward to seeing all our classmates for another “walk down memory lane”! The committee is working on a much needed donation to KHS for the music department. We are beginning to collect band instruments in fair/good condition (we will refurbish if needed…thank you Jack Toman!). Instruments will be donated to the Kirkwood band director to give to kids (all grade levels) who would like to play but can’t afford to purchase or rent the instruments. Questions regarding the reunion or instruments, please contact: Leslie Bright Wainwright, notso39@gmail.com, 314-941-1579 (cell) Jack Toman, jackkentmusic@gmail.com, 314-605-7492 (cell) Karen Lowe Adams, twinkah@yahoo.com, 314-601-4161 (cell) Hope to see you at our mini-reunion Sept. 16 & 17!
