John Fischer on LinkedIn: A chef coming to Louisville got Michelin star in Chicago. Are there any… (2024)

THE HALL! - I’m deeply honored to learn I’ve been nominated and soon (Nov 3) inducted into the Louisville MALE High School “Hall of Fame” … humbly joining icons of business, law, athletics, education, journalism, and community like: David Jones, Ralph Beard, Louis Brandeis, Lewis “Sonny” Bass, Harry Frazier Jr., Bernard Trager, and Dwight Gahm. Incl some of my contemporaries Jeff Ellis (All American/NFL), Dr Greg Purvis (medicine), Sharonda O’Bannon Morton (College Basketball/Educator), Tom Wortham (Principal/Educator), Michael Clevenger (senior photojournalist at CJ) and Bruce Romans (Writer/Producer of tv & film). Thank you Bulldogs for this honor.If you are interested in attending Nov 3, message me directly.Established in 1856, MALE was the first high school in America west of the Allegheny (Appalachian) mountains. Until 1912, MALE granted bachelor’s degrees. We refer to Louisville MALE High School as "Dear Old High School" in the fight song and the letter "H" is commonly used as it's varsity letter and in its brand as a symbol of Louisville MALE. High School, which is now Louisville MALE was just called High School and adopted and branded the letter “H” as a symbol.The Bulldogs are 1/2 of the oldest high school football rivalry (MALE vs Manual, played since November 18, 1893) in the world, historically played on Thanksgiving Day. Though a soccer player myself, I had the opportunity to organize the Pep Rally for our rivalry’s 100th football game.MALE has won state championships in many sports, including soccer, baseball, basketball, football, and golf: * SOCCER - Boys & Girls teams * BASEBALL 1944, 1945, 1970, 1971, 1975, 2020 (unanimous number one team, but tournament canceled due to COVID-19) * BASKETBALL 4+ state championships, including 5 KY Mr. Basketballs and 7th-Region Championships * GOLF 1941, 1942, 1944, 1945, 1946, 1947, 1948 * FOOTBALL1924, 1937, 1943, 1944, 1945, 1951, 1954, 1960, 1963, 1964, 1993, 1998, 2000, 2015, 2018 *Runner-up three times (2001, 2002 and 2010). MALE’s Bulldogs have an overall record of 869-325-49 with 9 undefeated seasons.The MALE ORCHESTRA has a long tradition of bringing music to our community. The MARCHING BAND & ORCHESTRA received its first state and national championship awards in 1927.My father attended MALE during WWII and graduated in the half year as was the war-time practice to get young men into the military faster. The war ended while my Dad was in NAVY basic training. Both of my wife’s grandfathers also attended MALE, before my father. “All My Life I Wanna Be A Bulldog!” “Purple & Gold!” “For God, For Country, For MALE!”Too many historic “Hall of Fame” MALE Bulldogs to list here so - Check out all the inductees (recent & past) at: https://lnkd.in/eeAUApRS#MALE #Bulldogs #HighSchool #Soccer #SrAidToTheLunchroom #SpeechAndDramaTeam #ExtemporaneousSpeaking #GraduationSpeaker #Louisville #Kentucky #FredTheFish #EntrepreneurSinceHighSchool #Classof1987
