Meet Kathy J. Trotter Scholarship Chairperson
It is said that life has a way of duplicating itself and if you’re lucky you might hang around long enough to see it. Such is the case of two former Omaha Technical High School graduates who were raised in North Omaha and whose hearts have never left there. Johnny Rodgers and Kathy J. Trotter are lifelong classmates and forever friends. You can feel the kinship when they are around one another.
