On Friday, fourth-graders welcomed former service members — dads and uncles, mothers and aunts, grandparents and family friends of the students — to a Veterans Day celebration at Lincoln Elementary. The vets told of their time in the military and proffered words of wisdom. The students sang a handful of patriotic songs. The moving hour-long tribute was hosted and organized by fourth-grade teacher Mary Ann Regehr. Pictured, clockwise, are: Glenn Peterson; LaPrincia Pulley, with her grandparents Patricia and Armand Pulley; Mrs. Regehr, with students; Eugene Wille; Ed Wilkerson, with his daughter Emilia; and Elza Clift, who holds a framed photo of her great-great uncle, a POW.
