Post 8870 turned 30 in August. While we didn’t have any candles, we did have Jim Raymond, past Department Commander, share some of his stories of the early days of the Post. In addition, Post Commander Fred Apgar spoke with Art Petty, the first Commander of the Post (actually, 2nd Commander but the 1st for all practical purposes). As we had a number of new members at the meetings, it was particularly fitting that the “old timers” were able to give some history of the Post that, in turn, will be passed on in future years to newer members.
