The Boynton Lions Club honors Boynton Elementary graduates that exemplify the spirit and character of Catoosa County war hero Major Thomas Duckett. Major Duckett was reported missing in action during the Vietnam War when his fighter jet was shot down. Major Duckett had graduated from Boynton Elementary and Ringgold High School.
Lions Club past president Randall Franks presented the 2016 awards, including $100, to Boynton graduates Conner Sharp and Rebecca McPheters.
The Boynton Lions Club also honors a Boynton Elementary graduate that exhibits encouraging nature of service shared by the late Lion David Carlock. Mr. Carlock, a television journalist, Catoosa County magistrate judge and coroner, chose the principles of Lionism – fostering a spirit of understanding; promoting principles of good citizenship, and taking an interest in the welfare of others - as benchmarks of his service.
Mr. Franks presented the award, including $100, to Boynton graduate James Kennedy.
The Boynton Lions Club meets the second Tuesday of each month at 6:30 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall of Boynton United Methodist Church.
