Clare Patterson

 A 1933 graduate of Augusta High School, Clare Elton Patterson was a remarkable athlete and community leader. He was a seven-time Kansas State Boxing Champion across three weight divisions, with a 200-5 record, never having been knocked out despite boxing with one eye. Clare, along with his wife Jessie, founded the Washington Willing Workers 4- Club. He also served as a YMCA boxing coach, judge, and member of the Augusta High School Booster Club Board. Clare's legacy is one of resilience, hard work, and community engagement.
