Two of Olathe's 150 Most Notable

As a part of Olathe’s Sesquicentennial celebration a list of the 150 most notable people in Olathe’s history has been made. Along with the cities founder and governors, two former members of the Olathe congregation of Community of Christ, Bob Maile and Bob Fry, have made the list.

From the article:

87. Bob Maile

Maile has been superintendent at Kansas School for the Deaf since 2000. He has set a vision for the school of people being judged by their contributions and their character. Maile’s staff’s salaries have grown and student test scores have improved under his leadership

133. Bob Fry

There are few people who at least haven’t heard of Dr. Bob Fry, and there are few youth who didn’t receive braces from his practice. Fry, however, has contributed to the Olathe community for many years.

Congratulations to Bob Maile and Bob Fry.
