MORE EAGLE SCOUTS IN LAST 37 YEARS
Scratch the number of years since Ringgold County has had an Eagle Scout as reported in last week's story about
new Eagle Scout Wyatt LILIENTHAL. Putting down a number of years since the last honor is risky, and the 37-year
report in last week's paper was off by a number of years, people were quick to point out. At least two other
Eagle Scouts have been name in Ringgold county in that period of time, though it has been at least 13 years since the
last one reported in corrections this week. John W. EGLY III of Diagonal, also known as "Goob," was named an
Eagle Scout in 1997. He is the son of John and Marlee EGLY of Redding. Brian LOOMIS was honored as an Eagle
Scout in July 1989. He is the son of Ron and Janice LOOMIS of Kellerton. If there are other Eagle Scouts from the
county in the past 30 years who have not been named, the Mount Ayr Record-News would be glad to include mention
of them as well.
