Former Rep. Paul Kujawski, who is one of the veterans’ biggest advocates, gave a stirring talk on the appreciation of the veterans as well as handing out hats to the veterans of the Korean War and Desert Storm which were mightily appreciated. When everyone had eaten their fill, the veterans boarded the Indian Princess to cruise around Webster Lake. Due to the cold inclement weather on June 14, the participation was much less than other years however, it was a very enjoyable day for all involved as it usually is, and it kicks off the summer season for veterans who always look forward to this day. Stephen Rogerson, Veterans Services Officer for the town of Dudley, offered a very warm and sincere thank you to Indian Ranch and Kujawski on behalf of all the veterans who participated for their unwavering support of local veterans in Webster and Dudley. 2 • THE WEBSTER TIMES • Friday, July 9, 2021 www.StonebridgePress.com Grade 5 High Honors: Ryan Grupposo, Jack ST.
