(Features ~ 10/16/09)
As a Bartley High school senior, he thought his future might be that of a place kicker on a college football team. When he wasn't kicking field goals in McCook at college a year later, he believed he'd become a mortician. As a sophomore he'd lost interest in the mortuary sciences and was on target to get his associate's degree, but Jon Burkey didn't really know what he was going to do -- until a teacher reached out and inspired a career...
