Alumni Shout Out
How I Arrived at a Career in the United States Forest Service
By James E. Bossi
As a farm kid growing up in southern Kansas, I was comfortable knowing that a career in ranching and farming was waiting there for me. However, severe asthma attacks during my high school years due to hay and grain dust made me realize that a career in farming was probably out of the question.
I just couldn’t come up with what kind of a career I really wanted, so I decided to attend the local Arkansas City Junior College and think about it some more.
Upcoming Events
Saturday, October 27 — 4pm to 6pm
Join us at the Alumni Association Arkalalah Party on Saturday, October 27 from 4 to 6 p.m. at Ben Givens Park in Arkansas City as we take over the beer garden. Our very own Kris Ripley will be our featured DJ. All Alumni Association members will receive a free drink ticket with their membership card. All Lifetime Members will receive two drink tickets. We will also have drawings for prizes and goodies!
