Metal wall panels were installed to cover existing windows on the inside and outside of the gymnasium. Gym exhaust fans and louvers were repaired, and three metal doors were replaced.

ALUMNI NEWSSpring 2009

Country music superstar Toby Keith has confi rmed that he was once a member of the Fort Smith Boys & Girls Club Evans unit. Living in Fort Smith in the late 1960’s, Toby attended school one year at Trusty Elementary and one year at Fairview. He played football at the Evans Boys & Girls Club during the 1970-71 season. Keith, who was born Toby Keith Covel in 1961, is the son of the late H.K. Covel and Carolyn (Ross) Covel. Toby’s grandmother, Hilda Martin, owned and managed Billy’s Supper Club. Although he spent most of his childhood growing up in Oklahoma, Toby would often visit his grandmother. He spent time working at her night club and listening to live performances by numerous musicians. After graduating from high school in Moore, Oklahoma, Toby dreamed of playing professional football. He spent several years working in the oil fi elds and playing in country music bands. By age 32, he signed with a major record label. His fi rst single “Should’ve Been a Cowboy” went to number one on the charts. Toby has received numerous country music awards including: Entertainer of the Year, Top Male Vocalist, Album of the Year, Video of the Year, and Favorite Male Artist. Today, Keith owns his own record label and has branched out into producing and acting. He is currently working on a fi lm called “Provinces of Night” with Hillary Duff. Overall, Toby Keith has charted 25 number one songs and an additional dozen top ten hits. Not bad for a kid who dreamed of playing professional football, and who played his very fi rst football game at the Fort Smith Boys & Girls Club.
