Students may enter through any door accessible to the gymnasium and will need to sign-in for entrance to the game.

Salem students are strongly encouraged to wear Salem or black and gold attire.

The tickets are available for students attending Salem Community Schools in grades K-12; however, students in elementary school are required to be accompanied by an adult.

This is a great way to spend quality time together as a family while showing school spirit.

This is also a great idea for a Boy Scout, Girl Scout, 4-H club, church youth group, or other group field trip.

For questions regarding tickets, please call the Washington County Community Foundation at 883-7334 or SHS athletic director, Hank Weedin at 883-3904.

Richard Fred Henry Wessel, 93

Richard Fred Henry Wessel – October 29, 1922 to December 19, 2015.

Dad wanted everyone to know that God loves and speaks to his children as a man speaks to a cherished son

or daughter. Every day. Clearly. And in ways that change our lives. Richard F. H. Wessel, born October

29, 1922, went home to be with his Lord and Father on Saturday, December 19, 2015 where the conversation

continues so much more intimately.

Before he died, someone asked him what ten things we need to know as he leaves us. He thought, grinned

broadly, pointed to heaven and said, “Know Him! Know Him! Know Him!”. Then he paused and looked at

us as if to ask whether he really needed to repeat that ten times and added, “Listen to His voice, then do what

He says.”

This former WWII POW and wounded veteran was preceded in death by his wife of 64 years, Mary

Katherine (Moorman) Wessel, his parents Virgil & Bertha (Redicker) Wessel; and brothers Gene (Lola),

Robert (Wilma), Victor (Wilma) and Charles (Loretta) Wessel.

Staying behind for awhile are daughters Susan (Mike) Vaal and Jane (Harold) Long; sons John (Vickie) and

Bill (Melanie); grandchildren/great-grandchildren Jeremy (Pamela/Ella, Max) Wessel, Tadd

(Carrie/Carolina, John Cannon) Wessel, Cori (Jimmy/Ellie, Hope, Luke) Jett, Zak (Lark/Zoey) Wessel,

Jaime (Cohl, Micah) Hughes-Sandoval, Nathan (Crystal/Xander), Megan (Andrew/Conner Wessel, Peyton,

Madison, Riley, Jace) Woolwine, Sarah (Dallas/Jude, Rhett, Hattie), Andy (Natalie/Olivia) Vaal, Kate

(Noah/ Jaxon Vaal, Ellie, Sophie) Guida, and Lindsey Wessel; brothers Jim (Ginny) and Allan (Delores)

Wessel; sisters Ag (Bill) Dailey and Janet (Floyd) Behrens; sister-in-law Betty Moorman; and many well-

loved nieces, nephews, and surrogate family (among whom are Nancy/Andrea, Chris, and Brian Hodge).

Dad is truly home.

“The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you

all. Amen.” IICorinthians 13:14
