10 Years Ago Summer Marie Boyd, Winona Lake, graduated from Morehead State University, Ky., during the 2002 fall semester. Boyd received an associate’s degree. Saint Mary’s College, Notre Dame, has awarded a presidential scholarship to Elizabeth Sands, a graduate of Wawasee High School. She is the daughter of David and Christine Sands, Syracuse. 25 Years Ago It has been expected for some time, and today Jon Garber was officially appointed Warsaw park superintendent and Larry Plummer Jr. was appointed assistant park superintendent. The appointments, announced at Friday’s Warsaw Board of Works meeting, follow Dick Hamman’s announcement in March that he was retiring from the superintendent’s position. Hamman served 15 years as park superintendent. 50 Years Ago Mr. and Mrs. Don Byrd (he is pro-owner of the Wawasee golf course) recently returned from a trip to Europe. Byrd won a five-weeks trip to Europe by virtue of one of his members, Howard Putman, of Syracuse, making a hole-in-one in 1961. The Golf Digest sponsors a contest each year, awarding 15 trips to golf pros whose members make a hole-in-one. The Wawasee pro and his wife toured Scotland, and other places of interest in Europe. Included also was a visit to East and West Berlin. 75 Years Ago Dr. and Mrs. Max Garber, Dr. and Mrs. W.A. Gassway and Glenn Smith attended the professional basketball game recently between the Purdue all-stars and the New York Celtics at the North Side High School gymnasium, Fort Wayne. Lester Whiteman returned recently to Chicago where he is a student at the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts. He visited this week at Winona Lake with his mother, Mrs. J.H. Whiteman.
