FFA support appreciated
Editor, South Belt Leader:
As parents, we would like to thank the
sponsors and buyers for their support at
the Pasadena Livestock Show and Rodeo.
Without these people supporting our
students, this year’s auction would not
have been such a success. The Pasadena
Livestock Show and Rodeo Association
obtains funds from the auction to provide
scholarships to worthy students in PISD.
Larry Wright, First City Bank Almeda-
Genoa, has been instrumental in building
interest in the community and we appre-
ciate his special efforts along with the
publicity from the South Belt Leader. To
all the people who support Dobie F.F.A.,
and the other schools in PISD, THANK
YOU.
One other person who deserves much
recognition is Mr. Jon Rascoe, the agri-
culture teacher. He has worked diligently
to improve the F.F.A. Chapter and each
year the students seem to do a little
better and achieve a little more with their
projects. We apreciate him very much
and feel he is a tremendous asset to the
agriculture program at Dobie and to the
positive growth of our young people.

Editor, South Belt Leader:
I’m writing in reference to the Sage-
mont Civic Club article on the proposed
opening of Sageglen street which runs
beside Ron’s Fried Chicken.
I am strongly opposed to Sageglen
being made a through street. I don’t feel
this would be in the best interest of the
children in our area crossing Sageglen to
attend Stuchbery Elementary School.
There are no sidewalks, no crossing
guards or red lights on Sageglen and
Hughes to see to the safety of the
children.
I know the need to connect with the
other subdivision, but I think Sagecreek
would make a better connection. There
are sidewalks, a crossing guard and
a traffic light already there on Sagecreek
and Hughes, which would also make a
better flow of traffic onto Hughes at peak
times.
I would also like to compliment the
Civic Club on trying to get input from the
residents on how they feel about opening
said street. I do hope that you will let
them hear from you on the matter, either
by letter or by attending the Nov. 13
meeting at the Community Center. Re-
member the Civic Club is the Voice of the
Community, so please let it be heard.
Their mailing address is P.O. Box 34787,
Zip 77234.

CCISD’s Kemmerer dies Oct. 4
Ten days after he resigned from the
Gear Creek Independent School Dis-
trict’s Board of Trustees, Dr. W.W.
Kemmerer Jr. died suddenly of an ap-
parent heart attack.
Kemmerer, 53, resigned from the
board after 17 years of service because he
had moved from League City to La-
Marque to be nearer his work. He was
serving as board president.
He was director of the Galveston Coun-
ty Health District and was on the faculty
of the University of Texas Medical
Branch in Galveston, the University of
Texas School of Public Health and the
University of Houston.
Kemmerer had served as chief of
preventive medicine at the Johnson
Space Center from 1964 to 1971.
Services were held Tuesday, with cre-
mation to follow later this week.
Survivors include his wife, Florence;
sons Eric Kemmerer and Christopher
Kemmerer of La Marque and Walter W.
Kemmerer III of Stafford; daughters,
Carolyn Donahoo of Houston, Katherine
Reys of La Marque and Marianne Kem-
merer of Alvin; his father, Dr. Walter W.
Kemmerer of Flatonia, former president
of the University of Houston; three
grandchildren.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests
memorials be sent to the League City
Library.
