Crossing guard keeps Ashton kids safe on Route 38
Donald Halvorson, 61, has guarded Ashton schoolchildren crossing Illinois Route 38 for 20 years. He notes traffic from Crest Foods and FDL Foods, occasional speeding, and a recent crash that left a child on crutches. He endures heat and cold, enjoys the outdoors, and values the service despite modest pay.
