Schipper, Krusey honored for A-P Booster service

PARKERSBURG - Between the first and second quarter of Friday’s football game at Ed Thomas Field, Dennis Schipper and Chuck Krusey were honored for their contributions as part of the founding members of the A-P Booster Club, a combined 61 years of service between the two.

  Schipper has been the only treasurer of the A-P Booster Club since Aplington and Parkersburg’s consolidation in 1992. This year is his 31st with the club, and he now participates in an advisory role.

Krusey is the third president in the A-P Booster Club’s history, following the late Stan Thompson and late Ken Van Lengen. Chuck had one year off the board but was also a founding father of the group.

Their work has impacted many projects and upgrades for A-P schools to help provide first-class facilities and equipment for the athletic programs, and both acknowledge that they do what they do for the kids of Aplington-Parkersburg.

Both men are quick to give credit to everyone else who has served on the board alongside them, as well as exceptional support from the community; and thank all who have volunteered to work events, donated to the club and the members of the Booster Club board.
