• Veteran's Day 2014 Ceremony held in Scott City, Kansas, home of Don Eikenberry (66-67) who sent these photos. Here is what Don had to say...

"19 degrees at 11 am. First time at our new Memorial, best crowd we've had even with the bad weather. The red brick in the foreground are bricks with Vets names bought by family members honoring them. $200 each to help pay for the site. Trudy's Dad (ED. Don's wife) has one there, Navy WW2. Could buy a bench or flag pole for $500 or one of the concrete pillars with a military medallion for $3000. The Marine in dress at the podium worked very hard to get the howitzer. Anyway, I think it was pretty cool for our little town.
Don"

"Just got home from Israel. Joan and I spent 10 days with a travel group. The Holy Lands are something to see. We renewed our wedding vows at Canna. I think I may have gained a few points. Great trip and everyone should make the trip just to see that what we have read all our lives is real."

• Ken Skornia (66-67) with his daughter Connie who works with rescue horses. Here is what Kenny had to say...

"This is my youngest daughter Connie and her rescue horses. We have been working them for about 9 months. When she and her husband got them they were starved down and looked real bad, ribs showing, and they ate the straw bedding out of their new stalls. We guess they thought it was hay, being starved down I guess  anything looked good. They had also been beaten so we all worked with them. It took a month before they would take a treat from your hand. That girl has a big heart for critters.

Connie is riding Shelbie a 5 year old . Scout the farthest one was beat and mistreated the worst. Now he comes to me when I call him. Makes Connie mad , she cannot get him to come to her in the field"
