Letter The Editor: When I left McDonnell Douglas in the spring of ’92, it was my intention to open Imo’s Pizza in the early summer.

Playing nine holes of golf at the Muny Golf Course proved me mistaken in my beliefs when I twisted my ankle badly. I reached out to my good friend, Dr. Robert Simpson. Dr. Simpson, who was a retired podiatrist at this time, gave me a quick once over and said he thought my leg was fractured. “But Robert,” I said. “I don’t have health insurance!” He told me not to worry about it, he would see what he could do.

The new head coach said having a solid point guard is so important to the overall success of a girls' basketball team and Kinsley provides that spark for the Shells. "The team follows their point guard," she said. "If a point guard isn't on board, the rest of the girls won't work. It is like a domino effect. I am a new coach and I have never felt any pushback from Kinsley; she has adjusted well to me. She is very coachable." Kinsley is a "definite leader" on the team, her coach said.
