Historical Society Presents:
“Meet Curtis Jones”, with guests
Will Schmid and Philip Roethlisberger.
Verona Senior Center
Saturday, Feb. 9 from 10:00-11:30 AM
The topic of our meeting this month will be
Curtis Jones, a Verona native whose
contributions to Verona are still felt by
generations of our school children - even over
fifty years after his passing. Anyone around
Verona in the 1950s will remember him well.
But his name will also sound familiar to those
who have played in or attended a home
Wildcat football game - on Curtis Jones field!
We will learn about Curtis from two of his
friends - Verona class of 1950 classmates Will
Schmid and Philip Roethlisberger. Together
they will introduce us to Curtis as a young man
- valedictorian, athlete, friend, and son of
longtime Verona High School principal A.C.
Jones. We will also learn about how as an
adult he championed a cause for future
generations of Verona students that caused
great controversy and in the end was won by
his perseverance. It will be an inspiring
hometown story worth remembering!

Case Management
Julie & I do a monthly outreach at Sugar
Creek, Prairie Oaks II, Evia, Schettler Terrace,
Park Verona, Noel Manor & the Verona
Library. We talk about what’s happening at
the Senior Center, discuss topics such as
insurance, scam prevention or listen/advocate
any concerns you may have. Former
alderperson, Brad Stiner attends outreach
with us 3-4 times a year at each building
providing updates as to what’s happening in
our community. If you haven't yet, please join
us. Please note that there have been some
changes to the outreach schedule. Info can be
found on page 16. Brad’s name will appear in
red if he will be at your building that month.
Case Management also provides home &
office visits.
Walk-ins are
welcome,
however
calling ahead is
recommended
to ensure that
we’re in and
have enough
time to address
your needs
properly.
��
Remember when teachers used to
say, “You won’t have a calculator
everywhere you go.” Well, we
showed them! �

him or her is through a memorial to the

used for the general programming, both of
which will benefit so many people.
