How many remember Sherry Smith, Coach Ward
Smith’s daughter (and possibly your old friend), who a couple years before
graduating from Garrett moved to Beech Grove (I believe) in 1967?
Well, this is Sherry Smith Nidlinger
accepting her second place award at last Saturday’s 2013 Lagrange Courthouse Classic 5k (2nd in the female
60+ division).
Sherry’s son Jeff won the overall first
place (he wins a lot of races), and I met her grandson there as well, a very
engaging young man who will be going to Carroll High school next year (and
someone you will likely read about before long if you follow regional wrestling).
Now, wouldn’t it be grand if Sherry
and a greater-than-usual host of other Garrett expatriates and alumni from all
classes would converge at this year’s Garrett
Heritage Days July 4th 2 mile walk / 5k run, which starts at the
park across from the school?
The 9:00 walk/run is bracketed by a 7-11
pancake breakfast everyone can enjoy, walk/run or not. A lot of people do come every year, so imagine how many
old friends you might discover there
this year … COME AND MAKE IT HAPPEN!
