Hughes, Kirksville Chief of Police - Although born and
raised in S.E. Kansas, I worked 25 years for the Boulder,
Colorado Police Department before accepting the Chiefs position
in Kirksville. I have experience as an Officer, Detective,
Firearms Instructor, SWAT, and a host of other assignments.
Northeast Missouri has great kids. I am proud of what they
have achieved and look forward to recognizing their efforts.
This is a great opportunity to let the community know what
an incredible group of young people we have.
Dwight

for 30 years, we have returned to the farm in Greentop,
Missouri where Dwight was raised. In addition to farming
to stay active, we try to give back to the community.
Judy
has recently completed two terms on the University of Missouri
Extension - Adair County Council (served as Chair for two
years). Both Dwight and Judy serve as secretaries of the
Schuyler County Ministerial Alliance. Dwight has served

Supply District and is currently serving on the Adair County
Public Library Board of Trustees.
We
enjoy volunteering and helping to make a difference in the
lives of people in our communities and we consider ourselves
fortunate to meet and know people and to serve others. We
