Louis Kuhn was a character. He was missing some fingers and in class he would lean on his hand and it looked like a finger was somewhere in the nose probably near his brain. He only had a two hole bowling ball and was a darn good bowler. He was a fine teacher and kept the kids in line.
More more more…I love Shelbyville history. Wiley’s Grocery was a hangout. I had Louie Kuhn as a teacher. We listened to “The Outcasts of Poker Flats” in class. He also did Book Reports. 🙁 After finishing my book report while walking back to my seat he whispers, “you should be a politician”. I didn’t know if that was a compliment or not. 😅
Also saw the name George Roser. George was one of the fastest 100 dashmen in the state. He was the coach of the 1962 Shelbyville Boys Club's state championship team. Another great role model who we young boys looked up to.

I was not familiar with Roser's name. Thanks so much for the back story! - Kristiaan
