Steven P. Greenwood, 15, son of Mr. and Mrs.
George E. Greenwood Kaukauna and Todd G. Feldkamp, 17, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Cletus Feldkamp Kaukauna were killed in a car accident in Michigan’s Upper
Peninsula while returning from a skiing trip.
It’s an old story. Children grow up in a
welfare or low-income situation. After high school they drift into low paying
jobs or unemployment and then onto welfare. Outagamie County’s CETA program
along with the area school districts are trying to promote a program to head
off the problem before it starts. The program is organized to put disadvantages
youths into jobs in private business to provide a paycheck and skills they can
use in later life.

A blast in acetylene welding equipment was the
cause of a fire in a Kimberly service station Friday, which left one person fatally
injured and another hospitalized. James H. Coenen, 33 of Little Chute, died at
the scene and station owner John “Bud” Van Toll, Kimberly, is being treated for
burns at St. Elizabeth Hospital Appleton. The building was a total loss.
Lieutenant Colonel Robert J. Greenwood, formally of Kaukauna,
U.S. Army retired, died December 14, at his home in San Antonio, Texas after a
courageous battle with cancer. He was 40 years old and a 17-year veteran as
Inspector General of Army Hospital pharmacies.
John Zurovitch, 11, delivered a “strike” ball and
ended up with a 7-10 split for a frustrating moment for the young kegler. He had a strike in the 7th frame and was looking for another one in the 8th when the 7-10 split appeared, but
when the 7-10 split was toppled on the next delivery frustration turned to
jubilation.
Gilbert J. Anderson, 56, who became Kaukauna’s
first full-time mayor in 1967, died December 13 at St. Elizabeth hospital,

For the past 11 years most sportswriters have
made a habit of picking apart the Green Bay Packers in reviews and it’s hard to
blame them. In the years since the Packers won the Superbowl against Oakland in
1968, they have gone through three head coaches and compiled a 65-78-7 record.
After five as coach and general manager, Bart Starr has led the team to a 26-47-1
record which is an improvement since 1972.
