WREATHS: More to that story

Ref: Wreaths across North Idaho by Devin Heilman.

As location leader for this event I would like to add the following: We were one of 900+ sites throughout the world to hold this event. One hundred ninety graves were remembered at Rathdrum, plus eight at Spirit Lake. This could not have been done without help from the following: City of Rathdrum, Stein’s IGA, Seldnar LLC, Rathdrum Lions Club, Wells Fargo Bank, Sharon Schultz, numerous Lions Club members, Miss Sydney Meckel (National Anthem), Mr Eddie Moore (TAPS), John from City Parks and Rec, my ‘staff’ (Frank Bega, Fred Meckel, Lonnie Morse, Per Larsen, Len and Barb McLean, Russ Patterson, and Larry Quimby) and last but not least the attendees who laid the 190 wreaths.

Job well done!
