A fascinating 45-minute audio
recording of author Edward T. Matheny, Jr., at the Central Library
in downtown Kansas City, MO, on Jan. 29, 2012. Matheny, a civic
leader and retired attorney who graduated from Southwest High
School in 1940, takes a fond look back at the proud past of his
alma mater with humor, anecdotes, and facts. He is the author
of two books on the history of Southwest: "The Rise and
Fall of Excellence" (covering 1925 - 1998) and "Once
More with Feeling," published in 2010 and including responses
to the first book and updated information on the school. This
posting includes a still-frame graphic and re-mastered audio
by Vic Damon on behalf of the Southwest Class of 1963. |
