Don King December 1, 2008
Attended U. of MO., finally graduated from Washington U.  Married to Signe Cook for 10 wonderful years now, with a blended family of 4 children, 13 grandchildren, and 1 great grandchild. Finally retired, wife retiring in Feb, 09.  Planning to build outside Cassville, Mo. and move shortly thereafter.  Would be happy to hear from any old classmates: either here, or if you are a trout fisherman, down there after we move.
Vincent Williams August 19, 2003

I have worked as a professional artist for Minneapolis Honeywell and the U. of Mo. Regional Medical Center.  Have completed two degrees. Was Director of Speech and Theatre for Brenau College in Gainesville Georgia, and Director of Theatre and Speech and Theatre teacher at Hempstead High School in Dubuque Iowa. I have acted in the feature film F.I.S.T. with Sylvester Stallone, Rod Steiger, Brian Dennehy and Melinda Dillon (directed by Norman Jewison). I also acted in a CBS series "The Mississippi" with Ralph Waite (directed by Leo Penn, father of Sean Penn). Last year I acted in a History Channel documentary "The General Slocum Disaster" (which will air on June 15, 2004 during prime time).  I play the Captain William Van Schaick in the made-for-TV drama.  I have no doubt it will be an interesting show, from what I saw of the filming.
   I am currently acting (with my acting partner, Carolyn McCoy) the role of William Ryan in an original vignette "For cRyan Out Loud" presented at The Ryan House Victorian mansion in Dubuque, Iowa. This is presented to tourists who attend the Dubuque Historical Society's Victorian Progressive Dinner. Tourists and patrons visit 4 local Victorian mansions with a tour-guide, and they enjoy a 5-course meal along the way. During the Christmas season, I act the personage of Charles Dickens in my script "A Christmas Dickens" (my adaptation of "A Christmas Carol".  Carolyn McCoy acts the role of Ellen Ternan, an actress in Dickens' time. We now have acted this 40-minute play 576 performances and would love to see any Kewpie attending sometime.  These shows run from mid-November to Epiphany (January 6).  If you get up Dubuque way, be sure to let me know.
   I also have been doing quite a lot of oil painting and currently am working on a series based on the Biblical beatitudes, with nine paintings in the series.
