A section of the Hebron Journal-Register St. John’s Celebrates Building’s Centennial

This Week — 1996... Hebron third graders got to meet their truck driving pen pals recently when the truckers stopped at the school. The truckers have sent postcards to the children from 24 locations on their route. They delivered a holiday stocking full of Christmas goodies when they stopped to say “hello.” Pictured are (l-r): Jennifer Pfl anz, Renste Itzen, Jane Sullivan, Trisha Hissong, Austin Virus, Joey Koch, Brett Dye, Brandon Mondlin, Adison Kenning and Aubrey Elting. The drivers are Rudy and Chuck Martin of Mesquite, Nev.
