St. Catherine's High School Athletic Director, health teacher and varsity girl's basketball coach, Jeff Tarkowski, submitted his letter of resignation June 15 after 18 years in the position.

Jeff thanked the school for the opportunities provided to serve in leadership roles during the eighteen years he has been with SCHS.
"We are all sad to see him go," said President Christopher Olley. "Jeff's done a very nice job here and seemed real happy at SCHS. We wish him the best as he procures his dream of a masters' degree.

Upon retirement from Gateway, Chuck was elected president of the SCHS Alumni Association in October 2005 and most recently returned to St. Catherine's as assistant boys' basketball coach.

I am sure most of you are aware that a few weeks ago our area was pounded by record rainfall. I was able to get a few good pictures of some areas most of you would be familiar with. There are also a number of article in the Racine Journal online. Please see Additional Pictures under the Photo Gallery on the left hand side of this Page.
The kid brother is a best-selling children’s author, someone whose biography is readily available on the Internet.
The older brother can be found not on the Internet but rather in a nondescript shop he rents on Sixth Avenue in Racine. Walk into this hole-in-the-wall, which is so easy to miss as you drive west, and you’ll be greeted by a grand clutter surrounded by Steve Prefontaine posters.
Kevin Henkes is the best-selling author. Pete Henkes is the one who works in that cluttered Sixth Avenue shop.
And sometimes I genuinely wonder who has touched more people between the two in their respective lives.
Great article about Pete Henkes and his involvment in the Lighthouse Run for many years.
