Lahontan Elementary Honors Veterans

Lahontan Elementary Honors Veterans
Lahontan Elementary held a special program to learn about Veterans Day and honor our service men and women. Ella Pope read a message to her father at the program thanking her dad, Eric, for his service fighting for safety and freedom on boats. Lieutenant Colonel Richard MacLean was recognized as the Veteran of the Year for 2019 at Lahontan Elementary School.  Mac had over 30 years in the navy and was the Fallon 1002 Post Commander. He currently helps teachers and students at the school, by cutting out materials for centers, buying necessary classroom items, and interacting with the students. He has a daughter in kindergarten, Tessa McLean, in Ms. Pope's classroom.                                                       Sign up to receive updates and the Friday File email notices.

His mother, father, Karen and Trent were neighbors of ours in Tonopah, Nevada. We moved to Fallon first and then the Kroll's later moved there also. Mother and Wanda were good friends. My brother Michael and Trent were playmates in Tonopah. Mother and my three little children visited the family at their ranch in Fallon. My condolences to Frank's family. May you be comforted to know that I care and I pray you will be comforted by your memories of Frank. Sincerely,Comment publication date: 4/30/26, 11:51 AMComment source: Frank Robert Kroll
