Larry Satchwell

We recently celebrated our 43rd wedding anniversary and had family pictures taken. We certainly have a crowd when everyone is together! Pictures are of Karen and I, our children, grandchildren and everyone.

I have retired from everything except coaching track and field at Parkview high school in Lilburn GA. Had another shotputter on the podium at this years state meet.


I am still involved in the highland games. I retired from throwing in 2007 after 30 years but I still announce and judge. I am the voice of the Chicago games that take place in Itasca Illinois usually falls on the same weekend as Father’s day each year. I also announce for Glasgow, KY, Grandfather Mountain in Linville, NC and Stone Mountain here in GA. Here is a link to this year’s Grandfather Mountain Games, I’m the old man speaking! http://goo.gl/Fzd5vx
I held the world record “back in the day” in the sheaf toss, a popular event at the games. In my athletic life one of my fondest highlights was being inducted into NIU’s Hall of Fame in 2008.
In my teaching career I was named the National Elementary PE teacher of the year and then a Disney Teacher in 1995.
My mother passed away on August 1, 2015.
Looking forward to doing more gardening and woodworking this fall and pretend farming with our horses, goats and chickens.
