Carolyn Holley Nichols, Paseo 1953, was honored in Jefferson on January 11, 2007.  Carolyn, third from left in the photo, is the first hygienist to have had a current license for 50 years. Those pictured with her are dentists who also have been licensed for 50 years.

Carolyn was also presented with an “Outstanding Service Award”  by the UMKC Dental Hygienist Alumni Association on March 16, 2007.

Her son, Joel, came back from Germany for the meeting at UMKC. He is a dentist who served more than a year in Iraq.

 
Along with 14 other Missouri sports notables, our own Bill Ross, Paseo 1953, was inducted into the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame in Springfield on February 11, 2006.  Surrounded by family and friends, Bill paid tribute in his 5-minute presentation to those who had helped him achieve this great honor, citing his youth at Paseo, college career at Mizzou, and then his many coaching responsibilities that brought him to the great night in Springfield.  The enshrinement of the 15 men and women was a first-class,  sold-out affair with 1,500 people attending. 

 Congratulations, Bill.  Another Pirate makes good!        by Lola Donaldson Swanson        03/13/07
