Four years ago I lost my best friend and hundreds of others did likewise with the passing of John Tripp. I started to write a blog about John this morning, but I kept deleting what I was writing. I finally decided that what I wrote last year still fits today so if what you read next sounds familiar, it is. I wrote it from my heart a year ago and the words still say everything I want to say today so here it is.

There are some really terrific designs on college mascots and logos. What [...]

Let’s face it, sending your kid to Illinois, Missouri, or Iowa is going to cost you a good chunk of change. Sending them to Quincy University, Culver-Stockton College or Hannibal LaGrange University isn’t cheap, either. John [...]

He was bigger than life. He was a husband, a father, a grandfather, intelligent, humorous, predictable at times and unpredictable at other times, outspoken to say the least, a mentor to many, a wonderful Exchange Club member, a 1972 graduate and a huge supporter of Culver-Stockton College, a life long New York Yankee fan and he was my best friend. A heart attack silenced John Tripp three years ago today at the early age of 58.
