Br. “Gus” Augustine Kossuth Brother “Gus” Augustine Kossuth, who entered eternal life on January 11, 2014, was the Director of Bishop Kelley from 1979-84. He started the Bishop Kelley Endowment Fund, the Annual Dinner Auction, and the Girls Golf Team. Mary Nichols Culver ’81 wrote, “Loved Br. Gus!! He, along with Mary Pat Fager, Patricia Cunningham, Debbie Walters and I, started the girls golf team at BK! He LOVED golf and played many weekends at LaFortune. At our Class of ‘81 graduation, each graduate had a golf tee, and as we shook his hand, we each slipped him a golf tee. He nonchalantly put each in his pocket. He had almost 200 tees in his pocket that night and got a big kick out of it!” Brother Joel McGraw said, “He was the boss in Tulsa my three years there. He saved the school from financial ruin and then after the fire in the main building, he got it going again.” Alumni parent Dr. John Vosburgh said, “What you see is what you get. That was the reason he was well-liked. He worked hard and lived simply. He was very thrifty. He loved trees and plants and planted much in Tulsa, some of which got mowed down in its infancy by Br. Bernardine on the tractor. Even when Br. Gus was the boss, he let others take the spotlight.” Please consider helping to further educational ministry in Br. Gus’s name by making a memorial contribution to Bishop Kelley High School, 3905 S Hudson Ave, Tulsa, OK 74135 or to the Christian Brothers of the Midwest 7650 S County Line Rd, Burr Ridge, IL 60527. Thank you.

In Memory of Lynn Martin In 1989, Lynn Martin began operating the cafeteria at Bishop Kelley High School. Her company, Gourmet on the Go, also ran six other school lunch programs. Lynn helped provide meals for many children who could not afford lunch. She catered special events at Kelley and supported the school in many ways. She enjoyed many friendships throughout the BK community and was inducted into the Bishop Kelley Hall of Fame in 2012. Lynn was diagnosed in 1999 with acute liver failure. She was grateful for the gift of an organ donation, which extended her life until February 28, 2014. Always volunteer-minded, Lynn had a renewed sense of mission about it after her transplant. Lynn helped inmates prepare for life after prison. As an adjunct instructor at Tulsa Community College, she drove weekly to Hominy to lead classes at the Dick Conner Correctional Center, preparing inmates to find work in food services. She volunteered with TCC’s Second Chance Scholarship program and was a longtime board member and chairwoman of Workforce Tulsa. She received service awards from Catholic Charities’ Madonna House and San Miguel Catholic School. Lynn is the sister of cafeteria manager Caroline Quinn and the aunt of Braden ’17 and Kyle Quinn. Gifts in Lynn’s memory can be made to the Bishop Kelley Endowment.
