The story printed in the Chanute Tribune last week has really caught the attention of myself and several other “former Chanute” residents. I do know that Dean was born in Emporia in 1931, so he would not have attended school or church in Chanute, at least as a resident on a regular basis. I am trying now to confirm that his mother was an elementary school teacher in Chanute, second grade I believe. Have not determined the exact years but do believe she was 2nd grade teacher of a classmate of mine’s father. If I confirm another part of this story I will definitely share it with you. As far as I know at this time, the fact I am pursuing has never been published and Dean Smith was only vaguely aware of it the one time it was discussed. Very, very interesting.

I would love to see more of this type information published; not because such “high profile” individuals are more significant than other “UBers”, but their achievements show how God has used our people or our training programs in making this earthly home just a little better. That should be an encouragement to us all. Thanks for a job well done.

Bob
