Folks, just heads up on this. We were asked by the CAOCO, if we would do an escort for Cpl. Lueken, from Louisville International Airport to Jasper funeral home. No confirmed dates has been set yet on this mission. We will know more tomorrow when we get more info from the CAOCO.
I stand corrected by desertrose on the population of Dubois.. it's about 400.... There's about six streets in the whole town... mostly country folks... so a good showing by the PGR will be outstanding for this small community... thanks for your interest in this mission.. |
