Kim Andrews (second from left) and her family.
Who will I harass now with my endless questions?
Kim Andrews, the woman who held the Coupeville High School athletic schedules together with Scotch tape, the maestro who made sure everything ran smoothly on the athletic field and beyond, the shining example of fair play and tolerance who tried to get me to stop poking South Whidbey so much, is no more.
Well, she’s still around, to be sure. But having left her duties as athletic secretary at CHS to take a position with the Whidbey Law Group, she will no longer be the focal point of my stream of emails.
“Why?” “Why?” “Why? “Why not…”
Who will be there to cock an eyebrow at the next Kole Kellison, when they’re leaning way too far out of the dilapidated CHS press box, high above the ground, trying to unhook electric cords in the rain while muttering “Does this school have good insurance?”
Who will apply a gentle, yet firm hand, to the removal of renegade vuvuzela horns from cheeky buggers in the stands at Wolf games?
And yes, her new job means she’ll be home by 4 every day and have Fridays off. Which is great for her, but how does that help me?
I kid, I kid.
But seriously, woman. Did you give any thought to me when you made this decision?!?!?!
Just for that, I’m going to go out and buy some vuvuzela horns, write “Property of Kim Andrews” on them and distribute them to Wolf fans.
That way, every time a wayward toot is heard, it’ll be like Kim is still in the facility. In spirit, at least, if not in body.
