Kevin Clark enlisted in the Iowa Army National Guard in January 2003.  He was deployed to Afghanistan in February 2004 and was there for a year.  He had gotten back from deployment in June 2005 and had decided to start a family. He had decided that his good friend Rebecca Sterling was the one he wanted to spend the rest of his life with.  They dated for a year when he had proposed to her and of course she said yes. They were married on June 30, 2007 and now live in Creston, Iowa and have bought their first home in December 2007.  Kevin's re-enlistment time ha come and he has decided to re-enlist to serve his country as he has done before.

Leonard Paul Bubb graduated from CHS in 1962 and then joined the US Navy and served in the Pacific during the Vietnam Conflict. Paul loved his country and was proud to have served it. His life was cut short on June 11, 1984, after suffering a heart attack at the age of 40 years old while working at Wellman Dynamics in Creston. He is missed by his family and many friends who dearly loved him and appreciate his service to his country.
