Today's Featured Biography
William Bailey
Hello to my classmates of 1957
When I came to Ruskin my senior year, I made many new friends and learned that the students atending Ruskin High were a special group of people. I will try to sum up what I have been doing the past 50 years - no great achievements - nevertheless, I have managed to do most of what I set out to do.
After leaving high school, I attended Southwestern Louisiana University and became Captain of the college rifle team. For a lack of good judgment I quit college and went to work on the Union Pacific Railroad with the intent of becoming a locomotive engineer like my father. I stayed on this job for seven years.
In December of 1958, I married my wife, Nancy, and we have been together for the past 48 years. We have two children, Tammy,47 and Bill, 44. We have three grandchildren, the oldest being Jarred who is completing his sophomore year at Rockhurst College in Kansas City, MO, and two granddaughters, Alex and Shelby, both in High School.
We lived in Grandview where I served for several years on the city Board of Aldermen helping to draft a Comprehensive Plan and Zoning ordinance for development of the city.
In 1977, we sold our home in Grandview and moved to our present home south of Belton, MO.
Since leaving the railroad and until 2004 I was a general contractor in construction and also raised cattle along with my brother on our land near Tightwad, MO. We still own the land along side of the Truman Reservoir and now call our place "The Work Farm". Our intent is to move there after Nancy retires next year.
My hobby has always been big game hunting and that has taken me to far off places; most often in our western states, Alaska and Canada. I enjoy the beauty and solitude of the mountains.
I often wonder what happened to my other classmates both Senior and Juniors. Since 1957, the students who attended Ruskin have scattered to winds, but we have a special bond in that we were there on that fateful day when a tornado took our school away.
Good health to all
Bill Bailey
