Other Men's Flowers: An Unexpected Education - News - Canton Daily Ledger

I’m aware of another THS alum that watched the “sold out” NCAA Final Four in Indianapolis without the benefit of a ticket or pass. Again, the individual had identified an opening in a “lock tight” building to secure his entrance. One isn’t born with that ability. It comes only through the daily practice of having attended THS. Finally, yet another THS alum displayed his navigational prowess in driving his family onto the grounds of a working military base, by finding an unmanned, open gate. After several minutes of a self-guided tour, the family and their car was surrounded by armed military vehicles. Professing innocence and naïveté, the alum won over the soldiers and was treated to participation in a live ammo display by the army personnel. That type of thing doesn’t happen to people who attended school in a sterile box structure. Just as a church doesn’t completely identify a community of faith, one particular building doesn’t identify a community of excellence. The end of the THS building doesn’t take away the ideals created in the responsible citizens that have graduated from there. It doesn’t diminish the community’s reputation for coming together to celebrate historic milestones, or raising incredible sums of money for a family in need. The same passions that have fueled both sides of the THS debate drive the spirit of a community with incredible accomplishments and a purposeful sense of responsibility. While I’m happy I got to enjoy the unique aspects of the THS structure, I’m most proud of the foundations that the school and community instilled in my life. And maybe, any upcoming designs might include a few secret passageways so future alums have all the benefits of a Teutopolis education as they navigate their own way through life. ... https://www.cantondailyledger.com/news/20190528/other-mens-flowers-unexpected-education

Susan Cox Is No Longer Here

December 24, 2015Justin Heckert This article appeared in the December 2013 issue and is part of Indianapolis Monthly’s celebration of longform journalism.  Susan Cox died, to the best of my knowledge, in a nursing home on the outskirts of Indianapolis. She died with Walter, her buddy, her blue plush monkey, either in her arms, or staring at her from across the room, sitting in the empty wheelchair, which is where I saw Walter last. I like to imagine Bethany, Susan’s friend, was with her in the end, was at her bedside, had traveled across town from her job at the local women’s shelter, maybe held her hand or petted her head with a cool cloth, or crawled in bed with her for a second and final time.   After she received such care from, and had real fellowship with, the volunteers in the No One Dies Alone program at Wishard—people who really seemed to care about her, and connect with her, who were confused and troubled by what became of her—I wonder if Susan ultimately died all by herself. That hurts to think about. I would’ve never imagined, embarking upon this story, that the person who I’d be writing about would let me sit beside them near the end, then survive her deathbed, leave the NODA program, and then pass away in a nursin... http://www.indianapolismonthly.com/longform/susan-cox-is-no-longer-here/
