Donald Linville, who was stricken with polio at the age of five, was not a person who would accept limitations on his life. He battled through several surgeries, and much hospital time and fought against all odds to continue his education. He was a graduate of Breckenridge High School and continued his education at Central Missouri State College; where he received a Master’s Degree. He was a teacher and guidance counselor at King City High School when he passed away in 1971. He coached girls Softball and was a supporter of several sports.
His life was an analogy of a track athlete. He sprinted when he could, overcame the hurdles of life and continued with the endurance of a cross country runner.
The Linville family hopes that this scholarship will help someone who enjoys running and one who is interested in improving health.
