Dick was born in Dupree, South Dakota, to Bernard and Miriam Logerwell on March 8, 1942. He spent his childhood and adolescence growing up in South Dakota and north central Nebraska.\u00a0 Dick was a multi sport athlete and graduated from Wood Lake High School in Cherry County, NE. \u00a0He went on to attend the University of Nebraska in Lincoln competing in Track + Field and earning his Bachelor of Science in Education with minors in both Mathematics and Physics.\u00a0 He also served in the U.S. Army reserves during this time.\u00a0 Dick later earned advanced degrees from Northwest Missouri State and UMKC.<\/p>\n
Dick followed the footsteps of both his parents, Gail and Miriam Miller, in a career in public education.\u00a0 The education profession took him to Fairfax, Missouri, and Anselmo-Merna, Nebraska, as a Science and Math teacher, coach, and Principal before arriving in Kearney, Missouri, for a long and rewarding tenure in the Kearney School District. At Kearney R-1, Dick was the elementary school Principal, an Assistant Superintendent, and the Superintendent of Schools from 1970 through 2000.\u00a0 His oversight and leadership during this time of unprecedented growth was crucial.<\/p>\n
To many, Dick may be best well known and appreciated for his contribution to the sport of baseball.\u00a0 His impact from coaching and countless hours individually working with kids cannot be overstated.<\/p>\n
Dick loved golf, Nebraska football, and Royals baseball, but there is nothing he loved more than to be involved in his kids and grandkids many activities.\u00a0 His support will be greatly missed.<\/p>\n
