April 24 1989
A strange thing happened when workers with G&G Hauling were finishing up demolition of the freshman lot in Warsaw. After tearing out the concrete floor near the gym and old school, workers found a wallet, with identification belonging to John David Richards. Also in the wallet were a 1964-65 season ticket to Warsaw high school basketball, and an employee card for R.R. Donnelley. No money was in the wallet, and attempts to locate the man were unsuccessful, according to a spokesman for the company.

Dr. Mishler, a practicing physician in Pierceton since 1956, was cited for his dedication and contribution to the community.
