- June hands down this little saver her mother used. Mom always had to have a table cloth on the table, be it in the house or out on the picnic table in the back yard. Mom had her special ones for outdoors and each of those had a pocket in each corner, us kids always put rocks in those pockets to keep the cloth from blowing off the table. Us kids still talk about all of that fun when we get together now.

- (Picture) A local veteran of the Korean War recently had the honor of attending the dedication of the Korean War Memorial in Washington, D.C. Don Wiles, who served in Korea from 1950-1952, was among those members of the military who were present at the dedication. As a member of the engineers, Wiles’ unit blew up and built roads and bridges. They were often forced to serve as infantry soldiers during times of intense combat. One of the people that Wiles remembers was Bob Burrows, a young man who lived in Tonganoxie, and who Wiles saw pass through his company one day on his way to the front. Burrows was killed hours later.
