Instilling the honor

Students and teachers stand to applaud World War II veterans in their 90s at last Friday's Veterans Day assembly at Lake Roosevelt Schools. Teacher Sandy Hood (inset) has been organizing the assembly for more than two decades and will retire this year. She told the students at the assembly that she hopes they will have "that feeling of an extended family and connectedness with whatever community you are in when you are close to the end of your working life. It's kind of a cool feeling." - Scott Hunter photo
