I know I have been preceded in death byboth Father lValdie And Father Bull.But only yesterday I talked with FredHoffinan. He informed me that in amonth ortwo he will be celebrating his95tt'birthday. He indicted that he wouldnot mind if he heard from those ofyouwho knew him.
I can only trust that my successor will beas conscientious as I have tried to be atthe task.
Whoever that is, I hope he is asthouglrtful as I have tried to be.
God bless you all

HONORING OURVIIERANS ON MEMOR:AL DAY WEEKEND
Fulmer first from Korean War to lead Memoral Day paradeBv Steve Van Diensvindicn@conleynet com
To say that Ken Fulmerwas surprised to be namedParade Marshall ofOconomowoc's 201 1 Memori'al Day ceremony would beputting it rather mlldly
"I'd never have exPectedthat in a million years," saidFulmer, 82, the first mar-shall who's a veteran of theKorean War. 'But I'm veryhonored to have been select-ed."
A lifetime Oconomowocresident and member of Vet'erans of Foreign Wars Post2260, Fulmer recalleil ship-ping out from Caliiornia,landing in Japan and thenKorea in tbbruary r9$. Hequickly became acquaintedwith what soldi,ers have hadto deal with in every war -dirt and mud.
"The first thing I thoughtwhen we landed was theseguys are fllthy," he said."But it wasn't long beforethg rest of us wet?, too,"
