Members of American Legion Post #11 of Jefferson dedicated a 6-foot concrete bench to the community Oct. 22. The bench is located across from the Army tank on the north side of Lincoln Way, across from the Milwaukee Road depot. American Legion members thought seating was needed in the immediate vicinity of the tank and World War I monument.
Veterans attending the dedication service were (standing,from left) Steve Nelsen, Barb Labate, Larry Monthei, Joe Murray, Don Yepsen, Jerry Vincent, Kenneth Arbuckle, Jim Andrew, Louis Swanson, Earl Cherryholmes, Rich Smith, Dennis Hendricks, Elvin Thompson, Mike Minnehan, Fred Long, Danny Marks, Haven Frantz, Dwight Dillivan, Guy Richardson and Zandra Maldonado. Seated are Paul Wilber (left) and Glenn Carstensen.
Assisting with the project were Don Labate, bench site preparation, and Tanner Scheuermann, Greene County conservation director.
