About Kirk Goodwin…
Kirk aspired to be a dentist and work with the youth as much as possible from where–ever his practice led him. We posted his goals on the framed collage which are: “Things to think about: Praise the Lord in everything; the more you put into living – the more you get out of life; No pain – No gain; No guts – No glory; ‘for those who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint’ Isaiah 40:31. Goals: To be a better Christian today than I was yesterday. Jump 17' 1” this year to make the “Athletes in Action” team. To make it to Dental School. To always do my Best in everything. Kirk Goodwin'.
Kirk had jumped 17' 1” for coach Don Hood. He was a member of the Society of Distinguished High School Students his junior and senior years. He was a National Award Winner of the United States Achievement Academy. He was a member of The Texas Association of Private Schools Athletic Program in Football and Track, and listed in the Who's Who Among America's High School Students two years. He was a letterman in track for Abilene Christian University. He was a member of the Men of Galaxy social club and wore his pen proudly.
