HE WAS VERY ACTIVE NOT ONLY IN BOND DRIVES, BUT ALSO AS THE SUPERINTENDENT OF THE DANVILLE LOCAL SCHOOL SYSTEM, HE INVOLVED ALL OF THE STUDENTS IN A PROGRAM CALLED 'PODS FOR PEACE' WHERE THE STUDENTS WERE PAID TO GATHER MILK PODS FROM THE FIELDS IN THE AREA THAT WOULD THEN BE USED FOR OUR SAILORS' LIFE JACKETS.
