For Those Keeping Score At Home …
Coeur d’Alene benefactor Joan Kroc died on this date 6 years ago. Kroc, of course,
bequeathed $1.6B to the Salvation Army to build and operate Kroc Centers for recreation and spiritual purposes throughout the country. Coeur d’Alene’s Kroc Center has more than 15,000 members. Upon her death of brain cancer at age 75, San Diego Padre great Tony Gwynn eulogized: “Sadly, in her passing, people will really find out for the first time how much she meant to not only this community but to the world. She did things her way, not for recognition or other considerations but because it was the right thing to do. It’s a shame that most of us will only now find out the extent of what Joan did. … She cared about the players and their families. Heck, she cared about everyone on the face of this earth. She loved to help people”/
