Learning To Salute
Dr. Charles Hollar spoke to his granddaughter Meredith Hollar Smith’s first-grade class at Madison Elementary School Monday, which was Veterans Day. He taught students how to salute and march, and said he would enjoy doing it again next year. Charles is a retired dentist, who served as a captain in the U.S. Army Dental Corp. Drafted, he served from 1964-66. In 1966, Charles started his dental practice in Warsaw. Meredith, who has been a teacher for three years, played soccer at Warsaw Community High School and Grace College and Seminary, Charles said. At Grace, she was a First Team All-American forward for the soccer team. Floyd Hollar, Charles’ father, was a principal at Lincoln Elementary. Meredith’s father, Dr. Steve Hollar, also is a dentist. During 18 of Charles’ 50 years in practice, he and Steve practiced together. Steve has two sons who are both working to become dentists and probably will join the family practice, according to Charles. Captain Hollar indicated his family, born in Warsaw, want to keep the Hollar dentistry business in Warsaw for 100 years.
