I am quite pleased that my high school alma mater has seen fit to confer Distinguished Barrington High School Graduate Awards to the brothers Jim and John. Jim and I caddied at Barrington Hills Country Club together for years. If we could go back in time, and tell some of the principles, coaches and teachers that he would receive this award, 44 years after graduation, they might find it most difficult to believe.

Brothers and fellow firefighters Jim and John Feit were honored May 15 as the DistinguishedBarrington High School Graduate Award winners.

Principal Steve McWilliams introduced them to the standing-room only audience during the annual Awards Night program.Their plaques will now be displayed on the high school's wall of fame.

The two brothers (Classes of 1968 and 1976) have gone on to distinguished careers with the Barrington Fire Department after school/military service. They have faithfully served and protected students, staff and families of the Barrington community.
