Jack Barnes '57 entered Chapter Grand on
October 3, 2020, at 85 following a brief illness.
He was proud to be a lifelong resident of
Elwood, Ind., and an enthusiastic supporter of
the community. He knew pretty much everybody
in town and could tell you where they lived
and who they were related to. After attending
DePauw University and Ohio University, he
served stateside in the U.S. Army in the late
1950s and was stationed at Fort Leonard Wood, Mo., and
Fort Lee, Va.
After serving apprenticeships at papers in Portland, Ind., and
Alamosa, Colo., Jack returned home to assume daily management
of the Elwood Call-Leader in 1963, where he was president and
publisher and worked his entire career. Jack later orchestrated
the purchases of the Tipton County Tribune and the Alexandria
Times-Tribune. He and his wife of 57 years, Judy, accepted the
Centennial Award in 1993 from then-Governor Frank O'Bannon,
recognizing the Call-Leader for 100 years in business. Jack and
Judy had three children and three grandchildren.
Ed Zapp '62 entered Chapter Grand on
March 21, 2020. He became a social studies
teacher after attending DePauw and Ball State
and received his master's degree from the
University of St. Francis-Fort Wayne. Ed taught
world history and sociology at New Haven High
School before becoming a school administrator
at Paul Harding High School, Village Woods
Junior High, and Heritage High School. After
his official retirement in Indiana, he moved to Wickenburg, Ariz.,
where he served five years as principal of Wickenburg
High School.
He selflessly served his beloved Ktizo church and strongly
supported Habitat for Humanity through volunteering and a
ridiculous amount of purchases. His love of trains and airplanes
also brought him so much joy. Ed's survivors include his beloved
rescue dog, Gracie; his beloved wife of 56 years, Diane Detwiler-
Zapp; his daughters, Kristy Zapp and Mara Bateson; and his
twin grandsons.
