It just turned out that way. “I walked into Thobe’s (in Fort Recovery) one morning, and Erm Wendel, the fire chief was there. … They asked me to come down to the fire station,” Wright recalled this week. “That was in ’66, and I’ve been chasing or driving them little red trucks ever since.” After 50 years as a volunteer firefighter — first with Fort Recovery then with Salamonia Volunteer Fire Department — Wright admits to slowing down a bit. “I drive the truck,” he said. “I answer the call.” But his wife Sharon added that it wasn’t too long ago that she went to the scene of a fire to bring some needed refresh - ments and found Lloyd on the roof.

In fact, when he was first approached about the possibility, he turned it down. “Long time ago, a pastor of ours said ‘John, you ought to become a deacon.’ I didn’t even know about them at that time. Our children were little Parker and I didn’t get that interested at that time,” he said. But then another pastor came along and mentioned the diaconate as well. That got Parker thinking. “God, I guess you want me to be a deacon. I better started listening,” he thought at the time. Even as Parker began seriously considering the role and took the first steps towards it, he wasn’t sure it would work out.

P12011-9P12011-10 The Commercial Review Friday, June 10, 2016 Seniors Page 3B Wells is at home at Elks lodge By VIRGINIA CLINE The Commercial Review The Elks Lodge in Dunkirk is more than a place to share a drink with friends or play a game of cards for a longtime Dunkirk resident. “This is my home away from home,” said Victor “Vic” Wells, 89. A member for more than 30 years, some days he spends more time there than at his house in Dunkirk. “Well it’s nothing for me to work six, eight hours a day — not everyday — when I got something to do,” Wells said. And he usually has plen - ty to do. He spends a lot of time in the kitchen, which he keeps immaculately clean, and fellow members have placed a sign above the doorway that reads “Vic - tor’s Kitchen.” He hand breads tenderloins and makes Glogie burgers — thick hamburgers that are named after fellow Elks member Gary Glogas. “I’m just a general flunkie,” Wells said. He also helps cook for the breakfast that is held the second Saturday of each month and cooks for poker players each Tues - day and Saturday. But he doesn’t just work in the kitchen. Wells keeps the terrazzo floor polished in the ballroom and does maintenance inside and outside of the building.
