John was born, together with his twin brother George, on Aug. 26, 1927, to Cyril and Denage (Regnier) Buckley in Minneota. Due to the difficult economic situation at that time, the family moved often, and John attended grade school in Minneota, Ghent, and St. Peter. He eventually graduated in 1945 from Mankato High School – where he met his future wife Caroline.

KALAMAZOO, MI Dick Shilts is having trouble falling back asleep. In the last four months, he has spent time with the homeless community in Kalamazoo. He met people who are sleeping in trucks, abandoned buildings and even inside tree trunks.
In the 46 years that Shilts spent as a college basketball coach at Western Michigan University and Kalamazoo Valley Community College, there’s no doubt he’s had sleepless nights before.
