In Memoriam Mr. L. D. Bauersachs 1926-1982 The 1982 Summit staff wishes to honor the memory of Mr. L. D. Bauersachs, Superintendent of Schools, who died February 2, 1982. Mr. Bauersachs was born in Orient, Illinois, on September 26, 1926, the son of Rudolph and Florence Gass Bauersachs. He married Verna Bigham in Pinckneyville on August 30, 1946. He and his family moved to Chester in 1977 from Cuba, Illinois, where he had been Superintendent of Schools for six years. A veteran of World War II, Mr. Bauersachs had worked in the field of education for 34 years. He was a member of the American Association of School Administrators, the Illinois Association of School Administrators, and past president and historian of Phi Delta Kappa. His contributions to our school and community are not easily measured, but they have unquestionably enriched the lives of the students and faculty alike. Mr. Bauersachs was always one ready to lend a helping hand. His smiling face and encouraging words will be missed in the halls of C.H.S.
