Mary Breed Brink

I am sorry to see this months after the fact. She was a friend of mom and dad for as long as I can remember.

Mary, the heart and soul of the Southwest corridor. She was such a treasure! I met her when I was on the KC School Board and I grew to love her enthusiasm and energy! She was an amazing woman. She introduced me to her contemporaries and I grew fond of all of them. It was a great experience working with her and the Southwest Charter school community and the All Year Reunion Committee in 2000. Her dedication to Southwest was inspiring. She was a great resource, full of information and always...
