NOTES
Tom Boyer '84
Ben Chlapek '79
Daniel Forrest '05
Bob Garner '86
Jim McMurray '77
Tom Boyer has been re-elected to
the Board of Directors of the Colorado Health
Foundation (formerly HealthONE Alliance).
With more than $800 million in total assets,
CHF is the largest health foundation in
Colorado. Tom has helped lead the organization
as Chairman of the Philanthropy Committee
and as a member of the Executive, Governance
and Education committees.
Missouri Governor Matt Blunt has named Ben
Chlapek, deputy chief for the Central
Jackson County Fire Protection District
in Blue Springs, to the State Advisory Council
on Emergency Medical Services. Chlapek holds
a bachelor's degree in chemistry from William
Jewell College and a master's of public
affairs from Park University.
Daniel Forrest attended the Cleveland
Browns mini-camp on a tryout basis for quarterback.
Changes have occurred at Hometown Bank,
N.A in its commercial lending department
in the Joplin, Mo., market. Joining the
bank's commercial lending department as
a relationship manager vice president is
Bob Garner. He received his MBA from
Georgia Southern University in Statesboro,
Ga., and has more than 10 years of service
in the banking industry. "We are pleased
to welcome Bob to Hometown Bank. He is a
valuable addition to not only our staff
but our customers as well," said Jeff
Williams, senior executive vice president.
A familiar face will take over as the new
head boys' basketball coach at St. Mary's
High School in Independence, Missouri. Former
St. Mary's assistant coach Jim McMurray
is the new boys' basketball coach. He brings
27 years of coaching experience in the high
school and college ranks along with a career
record of 450-217 to St. Mary's. McMurray
began his coaching career as assistant boys'
basketball coach at Harmon High School.
He has also served as girls' basketball
head coach at St. Teresa's Academy for 10
years, women's basketball head coach at
Avila University for 11 years and girls'
basketball head coach at Raytown South High
School for one year. He spent last year
as an assistant to Anthony Abbott, who resigned
his position at the end of the season. "I'm
making the switch from being a girls head
coach to a boys head coach, and I couldn't
be any more excited," McMurray said.
"I see a lot of potential at St. Mary's
and think we're going to build something
everyone will be proud of." His first
year will be special for many reasons, one
of which is that it gives him the opportunity
to coach his son, James, a senior. "I
am looking forward to coaching James,"
said the elder McMurray, a graduate of William
Jewell College. "But I'm also excited
about all the talented underclassmen we're
going to have. We had 10 seniors on last
year's team, so you know we're going to
have some new faces this season."
