Jim, 66, Retired as a Chemical Company Executive. Then He Went Back to School and Became a Nurse: "Grateful for the Chance to Do What I'm Doing"

Jim Segbers spent decades as a chemical engineer and retired as an executive vice president. Most people would call that a finished career. He called it a starting point. In April 2025, at 66, Segbers was the oldest of 50 students in the graduating class at Goldfarb School of Nursing in St. Louis, according to First Alert 4 reporter Russell Kinsaul of KMOV. “I feel like I’ve got a little bit left to give,” he told the station. The station reported that Segbers retired from Chemline Inc. in north St. Louis County. He is a father and grandfather, and he and his wife, Mimi, were foster parents to nine children and adopted three of them. As retirement got close, he sat down and asked himself what came next. “What’s on the other side of retirement? I grabbed a pad of paper and I said, ‘Jim what makes you happy?’” he told KMOV. His answer, the station reported, was working toward a goal, solving problems and being meaningfully helpful to others. So instead of filling his days with golf, grandkids and travel, he enrolled in nursing school. He stood out on day one, being as much as 40 years older than

Missouri high school forfeits playoff football game for interesting reason

This season has been one to forget for The Principia School's high school football team (St. Louis, Missouri). Now, the Panthers' 2026 season is over despite still having a playoff game on the schedule. According to a report from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the team forfeited its second-round postseason game against Crystal City (MO). The reason for the forfeit? To address culture issues. “While we’re disappointed with how the season ended, we believe this was a necessary step in moving our program forward,” The Principia School athletic director Shawn Brown told the Post-Dispatch. With the loss, the Panthers finish the season with a 2-7 record. The team gave up 54 or more points five times and 60 or more points four times. In their six on-field losses, the Panthers lost by an average of 29 points. In their two wins, the Panthers did put up a ton of points, scoring 70 against Veritas Christian Academy (MO) and 66 against Confluence Prep Academy (MO). This year is just the latest what's been a trying near-two-decade stretch for the Panthers. Principia School last won more than five games back in 2009. Since that season, the Panthers have compiled an overall record of

TCU closing in on adding Saint Louis transfer Robbie Avila

TCU is closing in on adding Saint Louis transfer Robbie Avila two weeks into the 2026-27 college basketball season, On3’s Joe Tipton confirms. Avila, the reigning Atlantic-10 Player of the Year, earned a preliminary injunction to play a fifth season from a St. Louis City Circuit Judge last week. This seemingly cleared the way for Avila to once again suit up for the Billikens this season. However, the College Sports Commission stepped in and blocked his route back to Saint Louis, as the program’s roster was already at its 15-player limit. This ended his stint with the program. $39.99 gets you a...
