uss has many rien s The boy was tall and soft-spoken. The girl was slender with black hair and dark eyes above a soft smile. They had come down to the Telegram-Tribune from San Luis Obispo High School. They wondered if we'd like to put something in the newspaper about the students and Russ Kiger. You bet we would. Russ, 17, a 6-foot-2-inch senior, is a member of the Tiger championship basketball team. He hasn't played since Feb. 16 when he received serious spinal injuries in an automo- bile accident. On Monday, Feb. 19, two students, Buzz Whitford and Bob Turney, thought it would be a good idea to try to raise some money to help with Russ, medical expenses. Other students agreed completely, and the ways and means meetings started. The youngsters decided they didn't want to merely ask for donations, they wanted to work for the Russ Kiger Fund or to sell for the fund. As the Tigers headed for their first CIF game in Febru- ary. the students planned a dance following the game. They arranged for the band to be provided without charge. They charged a 551 donation to get into the dance. They ear- marked one-third of the proceeds of the game plus all money from the dance and from concession stands for their fund. Refreshments for the concession stands were donated by citizens throughout the community. The total: 53704 for Russ Kiger. At the Tiger's next CIF game 54118 was collected for the fund. As of today individual contributions have brought the fund to more than 31,000 The students have established a special account for Kiger, and they wouldnlt mind a bit if others cared to send in private contributions. The address: Russ Kiger Fund, care of San Luis Obispo National Bank. As Russ continues his treatment in Sierra Vista Hospital, the students are continuing to plan additional means of in- creasing the fund. In the works are a barbecue and a pan- cake breakfast. We told the tall boy and the slender girl that when the barbecue and pancake plans are hrmed up to let us know. We'd like to help in publicizing their efforts. We think all of us should be proud of what Russ Kiger's friends decided to do and how they are doing it. fReprinled from Telegram-Tribune March 4, 19681 Kiwi- photo by david ronns M moriam WARREN A. SINSHEIMER 1923-1967 Our School District and community has lost a valuable friend, public servant and businessman. Warreii A. Sinsheimer has given unselfishly of his time and many talents in serving as a veteran school board member in this community since 1961. He was named first president of our San Luis Coastal Unified School District and skillfully applied his wisdom and most capable leadership to direct the sound organization upon which this newly established district is founded. His ethical standards are admired by all who new him, his fairness and insight in dealing with the business, educational and personnel policies of our schools were truly an asset to the Board of Education, its employees, the students, and the parents of this community. The measure of a man may well be made by the mark he makes upon the community he leaves. Mr. Warreii A. Sinsheimer's influence and sig- nificant contributions to all of this community are as permanent as the hills surrounding the beautiful San Luis Obispo, which he loved.
