Kirkwood Fantasy Football League Enters its 5th year of Fellowship with a MISSION
By Max Schindler

Mission is the new component of the KFFL for this season. As the congregation of Kirkwood is well aware, we said goodbye this year to Lance Corporal Jeffrey Ghen USMC. Jeffrey was an owner of the KFFL team Herod’s Hitmen along with his grandfather for the 2008/09 season. Jeffrey managed his team during his deployment to Afghanistan this past year, and the Hitmen were Division Champions, achieving the best regular season record in both KFFL leagues. All the owners in the KFFL remember Jeffrey’s love of the game and his notes of “confident challenge” (some would use other words) to his fellow owners. Our mission this year is to dedicate the KFFL Season to Jeffrey, and to do so by helping his fellow Marines, Sailors, Soldiers, and Airmen by making a financial and physical commitment to support the work of Fisher House.

Fisher House is the charity that Jeff’s parents asked us all to provide contributions to as we celebrated his life and his commitment to our country. I encourage you to go to the Fisher House web site at www.fisherhouse.org. The Fisher House mission is to support America’s Military in their time of need by providing “a home away from home” that enables family members to be close to a loved one during their treatment. We all believe this is the best way for us to both remember Jeff’s Christian Fellowship within our church and the KFFL, and to honor his commitment and love of the Marine Corps he proudly served by helping the families and members who served with him. We will have more about the KFFL/Fisher House Mission as we get closer to the beginning of the season.
