DEAR NEWMAN CENTER:

My name is Jim Wieners, a 1989 (May) Graduate of the University of Missouri-St. Louis, majoring in Communications (Mass--Media). I currently have three part-time jobs: Night Custodian Mondays-Fridays at St. Louis County Library, Prairie Commons Branch, in Hazelwood; A free-lance sportswriter working The Independent News, based in Florissant, publishing schedules vary per season; and working weekends at drag races, April-October, at Mid-America Raceway, in Wentzville, helping the scorers and starters by taking down car numbers and dial-in times when they are in the staging area ready to race down the drag strip (1/8 or 1/4 mile).

In addition to my UM-St. Louis bachelors degree, I have an Associate Degree in Data Processing at St. Louis Community College at Florissant Valley (Dec. 1977), spent one year at Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville (Aug. 1987 - Aug. 1988) and have been taking courses to improve my computer skills at St. Charles Community College (currently taking Introduction to HTML). I am currently single and living with my parents as well as my brother and one of my three sisters in St. Peters, MO.

I cannot recall my favorite Newman moment except for activities that took place at the UM-St. Louis Newman House, which included Sunday masses that took place there.
I hope that you are up to date with what I have been doing. I would like to also tell you that I am diabetic and have arthritis. Please pray for my family and me that we can go through these tough times we all are experiencing.
Thank you for your time.

Sincerely:
Jim Wieners
