Sharon and Ron Larson were an interesting couple to visit with. Although they say they are both retired, they appear to be very busy running the affairs of Boone Valley newsletters from their home in Renwick. Ron told me they began the newsletter business when the school in Renwick closed. Actually the newsletters are Ron’s hobby. The Boone Valley Newsletter comes out weekly and is 25 years old. They have been doing the Alumni newsletter, for graduates of Renwick, Vernon and Boone Valley, since 1997. The “Alumni” is a monthly newsletter. Their computer database contains addresses of over 90 percent of approximately 2,000 graduates from across the country. “We are trying to do our part in keeping alumni connected,” Ron said. The Bobcat Football Report is 28 years old and involves a lot of fun and participation from local and long distance subscribers. They publish their newsletters in an effort to keep the community together and supplement their retirement.
