Citizen of Two Countries Honors and Humor
Jock Sinclair, a Janesville American Legion reporter, is named a citizen of Bourges France while serving as a regimental sergeant major with the Central Records office in France.

A light anecdote follows: a youth asks for the daughter’s hand, and the father humorously queries which of his four daughters he should choose.
