Seventy years ago today, November 19, 1944, these four young men were featured in the Chicago Tribune after having become Eagle Scouts.  For the first time in the history of their community, five Scouts had become Eagle at the same time.

The Scouts were John L. Guyer, George L. Otis Jr., Harrison C. Stearn Jr., Richard Wallace Jr., and John H. Hafner.  Mr. Hafner, who was a student at a military academy at the time, was not pictured.

If you know one of these Scouts, or you are one of them, I would love to hear from you about your reminiscences about Scouting and your experiences over the years.  You can contact me at clem.law@usa.net.
