Obituary | |

J. Paul Duffendack, FAIA, passed away March 24, 2013, after a long illness. A memorial service is planned for 2 p.m. Friday, April 5, at the Church of the Resurrection Wesley Covenant Chapel with a reception following. A lifelong area resident, Paul was born June 13, 1944, the only child of Percy John and Helen F. Stout Duffendack. Paul attended Southwest High School in Kansas City where he was captain of the track team. He received a Bachelor of Architecture degree from Kansas State University and was a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon. Following graduation, he joined the US Army as a commissioned officer and was proud to serve his country; he spent a one-year tour of duty in Vietnam as a military advisor with the Military Assistance Command, Vietnam (MACV). Paul was a 1st lieutenant and graduate of the US Army Special Warfare School at Ft. Bragg. He received several medals including the Bronze Star; he also received the Honor Medal First Class from the Republic of South Vietnam. Over his career, Paul worked with several Kansas City architectural firms including Marshall and Brown, and Kivett and Myers. He was a founding principal of CDFM Architects, and later worked for HNTB and BWR, where he retired as a vice president. He served as board member and president of the Missouri Council of Architects, and in 1995 Paul was honored to be advanced to Fellow by the American Institute of Architects. Paul's profound appreciation for life called forth his leadership, initiative, skill, and artistry to accomplish works that mattered to him. For Paul, every day counted. Throughout his career, he was involved in numerous civic and professional organizations and was an active conservationist. He was a founding trustee of the National Park Trust, a not-for-profit land conservancy, and served on their board for 15 years, two of those as chair. He was instrumental in the creation of the Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve and worked with the National Park Service as the park was planned and established. Bruce Babbitt, Secretary of the Interior, appointed Paul to the advisory board for the Preserve. Paul chaired the Leawood Planning Commission and served on the boards of the Symphony in the Flint Hills, Shawnee Mission Education Foundation, Children's TLC, the Dean's Advisory Board of the College of Architecture, Planning & Design at KSU, KC Plaza Rotary Club and Sertoma Club of KC. Paul had a rich appreciation for beauty, craft and the arts. He was an avid stamp collector, photographer, jazz music lover, K-State fan, fisherman, runner, cook, carpenter, reader, tennis player, and golfer. Paul's primary love was his family - his wife, Jan Duffendack and his two sons, Jon Duffendack and Steve Duffendack, Steve's wife Alise Dodds, and grandchildren, Spencer and Anna. He had many friends and loved them all; he knew that it was with their support that he was able to fight his illness for such a long time. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations in Paul's honor to the National Park Trust or KSU College of Architecture, Planning & Design.

| From Paul Pritchard on May 21st, 2013 | |
When Jan asked me to say a few words about my lifelong friendship with Paul, my first reaction was that it would be impossible. How does one compress two lives and all the influences that surrounded them into five minutes.
And furthermore I realized that understanding the essence of friendship is something I had not given much thought. And so I began a parallel journey, one to understand the nature of the concept of friendship; the other to assess what it was that made Paul my lifelong friend. What I found is that there are two extremes to the definition of Friendship. Permit me to explain. Aristotle described FRIENDSHIP as "A single soul dwelling in two bodies.? On the other hand, Ayn Rand would have described FRIENDSHIP as two people who mutually benefit each other. What made our friendship so special? Well, he was taller, and faster and had a sense of quiet confidence that reminded me of Gary Cooper, the John Cena (See na) of my generation. There were our structured days at Border Star and Southwest High School and Second Presbyterian Church. And there were the unstructured times when Paul and I spent together, doing what boys do like playing pick-up football along Ward Parkway. Paul taught me one of my life lessons there. He was usually the quarterback and when I would run out for a pass, I kept on running on his right. "Run to your strength" he said, nodding to his left. That simple lesson was more than a clue about football. For a ?lefty? which I am, I always felt a little inferior, writing upside down, etc. But Paul saw it as a strength, an asset. Why Paul went off to Kansas State University, I will never know instead of Mizzou with me. There was architecture. He went on with his life AND did not try to change my thinking. Paul accepted me for what I was. Elbert Hubbard said, ?A friend is someone who knows all about you and still loves you.?
We both served our country as advisors in Vietnam. As an architect, Paul advised Vietnamese officers about many things architectual and engineering. Just a few years ago, Paul and I took a trip to the Tallgrass Prairie, and I asked Paul what he felt had caused his health problems with Amyloidosis. He concluded that it was that experience of working with defoliants in the war. He never complained about the illness, just accepted the rigors of dealing with the trips to the Mayo Clinic, Jan always by his side, the dialysis treatment, and more that I was ever aware of. It was Paul that I called when I started our journey to establish the tallgrass prairie national park unit. Many here wanted to see this missing place be added to the national park system. I had a wonderful job in Washington in which my staff and I got to dream about future parks and make them happen. And this one was very important to me, and it turned out to Paul.
So I would fly to KC, pick up a car, spend the night with Paul, Jan, John and OJ and then head down to the Emporia/Strong City area. And after I scout out the area for properties that might qualify, I would talk to Paul. Now understand that he knew the area, he had walked and camped and hunted in this region, and he understood from the inside out what a historic building was. But like a true friend, he would listen to me, never criticize, never challenge. He would encourage me on. When I needed to put this and other land acquisitions for national parks under one charity, Paul was one of the first that I asked to serve on the board. He served as chairman and his love for the parks, Rocky Mountain, Alaska--you name it, wherever the National Park Trust had a project, was I felt his highest priority. And all the while he gave so much time and energy to this charity, he seemed to never lose sight of his faith, his wonderful family and his community and my sanity. At one point in the process of transferring the Z-Bar Ranch to the National Park Service, everyone from the President on down, except for Nancy Kassebaum, opposed the park for political reasons. I remember Paul saying, "I don't know much about what you have to do in Washington, but let's do it." I have no doubt that I might have faltered if it had not been for his support. The wonderful TV role model Mr. Rogers, or Fred Rogers, talked about friends like Paul. ?When I say it's you I like, I'm talking about that part of you that knows that life is far more than anything you can ever see or hear or touch. That deep part of you that allows you to stand for those things without which humankind cannot survive.?
So today we gather to remember a man of great character and a true friend for so many of us. Friendship. Which is it? Aristotle or Ayn Rand. If I use my Friendship with Paul as a case study so to speak, it was both, and more. He set standards for life without imposing his way on others. He was there for me no matter what. He was devoted to his family, his faith and his friends without seeking recognition or reward. But the one reason that Paul was my lifelong friend was because he was always there for me. I will leave you with the words of that great philosopher, Winnie the Pooh. ?We'll be Friends Forever, won't we, Pooh?' asked Piglet. Even longer,' Pooh answered.? |

| Tom and George, Thank you so much for those sentiments and stories. I have a question for you. Did either of you know Nick Nicholson? The reason I found this website was because of a night I spent with him and his wife, Patty, who was/is one of my closest friends from college (MU Thetas). Nick started talking about his high school days and mentioned some crazy experiences with SW boys. When he mentioned "Krebs", I was both stunned and anxious to explore Bill's high school experiences. He proceeded to tell me a couple of stories, one involving some car abuse while driving through the streets of the Plaza and one about one of you (Hodgeson?) taking a joy ride on a "borrowed" plane at the airport with Bill somehow directing him through the landing. Nick went to a different school but somehow ended up joining some of you on a few of your "adventures". Anyway, that small world experience blew my mind and prompted me to find out more about my brother. Thank you again for sharing your memories with me. By the way, my three best friends in life were at SW with me, and when we get together once or twice a year, we still feel and act like we're 17 again. Love those years. George, thank you for your service in the Air Force - what a noble calling and wonderful career. If any more stories pop up from your memory banks , I would love to hear them and you can share them directly with me at mecjinden@aol.com. All the best to you and yours! |

Margie – just a note of remembrances on Bill. He wasn’t the closest of friends, maybe just an acquaintance that unknowingly had a great effect on me. His piloting of my first airplane ride was life altering. I remember very much news of his death (On the radio, in my ’57 Chevy enroute from MU to home, got an immediate nose bleed – my wife can attest to that fact). As luck would have it, I fell into some of the life he wanted so much. I managed 28 years of the Air Force and nearly 10000 hours flying, but as a navigator, not pilot (eye/hand/brain coordination problem!). I thought often of Bill, his dreams and goals, and the idea he planted with me. Maybe he did get to share some of my experiences, and we just didn’t know it.

Margie,
Bill is still the topic of conversation with several of us SW'ers. He, Ted Hodgson, Earl Broome,Rick Jeter, Hal Klee,Craig Lewis and excuse me for those not immediately coming to mind, and I made MANY a historical/hysterical event around SWHS and the surrounding unsuspecting community. If there was a quicker, funnier,more imaginative mind out there, I never saw it. He Broome,Hodgson and I were once suspended together for a week after we pranked some messages from his office closing the school cafeteria for " food deemed unfit for human consumption by the city heath board but went on to say that the faculty could eat there as usual". Mr Cannon the Principal, wanted to seperate us in different schools but wasnt able to do so, if that give you any idea of the mischief we brought to school every day. I went to see Mr Cannon regarding him during another dismissal event to express my concerns for him. His death and circumstances, while a shock, actually wasnt. Not much would have ever surprised me with him, and that didnt either. I often wonder what we would be doing today together, other than the possibility of time, had we had the opportunity to try adulthood together. We would definitely be a part of each other's life. His Mother was a wonderful lady. I went to see her but once after his death as any more would have been torture for the both of us. I've thought of his sister Charlotte and hope she has been happy and well. I recall you but only in passing through your home. Yes, you had an absolutely one-of-a kind brother and I am sorry you didnt get to know him longer too.

Hello,
Bill Krebs was my older brother, 12 years my senior, and he died when I was 7 years old. I know he faced a lot of issues in his short life, and after he died, discussion about suicide and Bill in general was generally swept under the carpet. It seemed too painful for Mom, Dad or our older sisters to talk about him throughout the years. Lillian and I, his two little sisters heard bits and pieces, but not enough to know who he really was, other than troublemaker and rebel. We don't care about that. We witnessed, and had a sense of, certain of his troubles, but we also remember a brother who laughed and played with us, brought us dolls from Okinawa, and seemed genuinely happy to see us when he was home from Colorado. I know many of you may not have had good experiences with him, or perhaps didn't even know him, but if you happen to see this and have any insights at all, good or bad, I would love to hear from you. I am 56 years old now, live near Castle Rock CO, and raised 4 kids of my own. My youngest son just surpassed that age of 19 that always makes my heart skip a beat, and my 24-year-old son lives right across the highway from the Air Force Academy where Bill took his life. So, since I found this website, I thought I'd take a chance and put this inquiry out there. I hope you're all well and enjoying life. Here's to Southwest (I'm class of '75) - and the GOOD memories it holds!

He was born in Olathe, the second of two children born to Leon G. McCreight and Arlene Keintiz. Larry's parents divorced and Arlene married a man named Foster. Larry's brother, Gerald, adopted his stepfather's last name. But Larry retained his father's last name. Larry spent his senior year at SWHS; the Sachem states that his activites were at West Covina High. So maybe he came for only one year to live with his father, who owned a house near Westport.

| Carole and I first knew each other at church, and although I backslid over time, we maintained our friendship. We'd meet for lunch every few weeks . Sometimes she'd laugh until diet coke came out her nose! Even as her health failed and her finances diminshed, she kept her positive attitude and sense of humor. Visiting her in the hospital the day before she died, I gave her a chocolate candy (against the rules) and watched her smile, lift the oxygen mask, and pop it into her mouth. | |

| I hope it is Ok to share some thoughts about Carole from someone not in the class of '62. She was a real sweetheart . . . she was my sweetheart for several years. My immediate family at the time, on several occasions, indicated that she was a "real neat gal." Carole relished in the humorous things that others would do in real life situations. One night we were walking from the Plaza Theater headed to my car. Ahead of us several people suddenly stopped and a woman was bending toward the sidewalk looking down. The woman raised back up and with a strong accent said: "Oy, I thought I saw a penny." Carole was still laughing about that when I walked her to her door later that night. I've always loved her for that wonderful quality. To her family and friends, please know that she will always be pretty special to me ! Bill Alden Class of '61 |

Nancy Ann Weneck, 68, of Overland Park, passed away Thursday, Dec. 20, 2012, surrounded by her loving family. Nancy was born at Menorah Medical Center, in Kansas City, Mo., on Jan. 10, 1944, to Sadie and Herman Billings. With the passing of her mother at a young age, Nancy was raised by her dear aunt, Rose Gladstone. Nancy was a dedicated educator, teaching at elementary through college levels. It was her creative talents, combined with her love of flowers and greenery, which fueled a wonderful career in floral design later in her life. Above all, Nancy was a devoted and loving wife of 42 years to her beloved husband, Charles “Buddy” Weneck, and incredible mother to her three children, Spencer (Dana) Weneck, Sally (Brennan) Hensley and Todd (Lindsay) Weneck, and doting grandmother to her seven grandchildren, Jackson, Ava, Reagan, Cooper, Zoe, Madeleine and Grant. Nancy lived life with great vigor, and awareness. She was passionate in her support of numerous charitable and civic endeavors. Our lives have been forever enriched by Nancy’s welcoming smile and embrace, cultured intellect, sharp wit, and her spirited sense of humor. We are eternally grateful of the values, courage and principles she instilled in all who knew her. To her family and friends, Nancy will be greatly missed, and forever loved. Services were held Sunday, Dec. 23, at Congregation Beth Torah, with interment in the Congregation Beth Shalom section in Mount Moriah Cemetery South, 10507 Holmes Road.

Buzzy lived half a block up from the library; he was our champion pole vaulter. From 8th grade speach class through a successful law career in Colorado Springs, Buzz had an infectuous laugh totally unique to him. He moved to Desmoine for his senior year and went to KU, where I was privileged to be his roommate in undergrad and law school. He was survived by his older brother, Tom and his family in the Springs. Buzz died of Mad Cow Disease from elk. He was an inspiration to me, a trusted friend; and after all these years, his hearty laugh is still with me. | |
