Letter praises unknown scout for quick care after accident
A Rainbow council letter commends local Boy Scout leaders and an unnamed Scout who, despite being dazed after a Rt. 49 wreck near Kankakee, prioritized his father’s coverage and contacted his mother. The note, from H McCloud of Shreveport Louisiana, lauds the good Scout. Kenneth J Ospalik, a US Navy fireman, is to return to Norfolk aboard the USS Intrepid after training exercises.
