10 Years Ago U.S. Army Maj. Bradley K. Mitchell, a 1985 Wawasee High School graduate, was recently selected to attend the Army Command and Staff College. After graduation from Wawasee, Mitchell graduated from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, N.Y. Since 1998, Mitchell has shuttled between Washington, D.C., and various locations in Europe. He has served on the Secretary of Defense staff and completed a master’s degree in foreign policy from Johns Hopkins School for Advanced International Studies. 25 Years Ago When Bob and Pat Martin decided to get out of the sheep business, they kept only four sheep. “As a hobby,” says Pat. Well, that hobby has expanded four-fold, because all four ewes had triplets. The registered Suffolk lambs were born between March 3 and 19, and all have the same father, a ram owned by Dick Morris. Pat Martin and her grandchildren, Jonah Best, 13, and Jamie Best, 8, are shown in a published photo with the sheep. The Martins live near Lake Sharon. 50 Years Ago Saturday will be “Lucky Easter Egg Day” in Warsaw. Retail Merchants Chairman Ernest Cravens, Joe Arnold, Donald Coahran and Jack Essenberg, of the retail committee are giving 3,000 Easter eggs to be distributed to the first 3,000 persons in Downtown Warsaw this Saturday. The eggs will be stacked on the courthouse lawn and given away. Six hundred of the eggs will have “lucky numbers.” Fifty-five hams will be given away, plus approximately 600 other prizes of merchandise that will be offered at low prices. 75 Years Ago Tommy Peterson, Miss Virginia Arnold, Keith Dunwell and Miss Betty Rhoades, recently went to Notre Dame field house where they attended a track meet.
