The CHIEF March 2018

Rollie Gagnon and Harley Mayer of Pontiac, Art Leach of Odell, and Eldon Bryant of Chenoa fascinated the audience with some of their war stories.

Unfortunately, their presentation was cut short due to time constraints; I, for one, could have listened to these national heroes all day long.
