The Boynton Lions Club of Ringgold 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 graduated from Boynton Elementary and Ringgold High School.
Lions Club past president Randall Franks presented the 2016 awards including $100 to Boynton graduates Corban Dean and Maggie Chen recently.
The Club also honors Boynton Elementary graduates that exhibit encouraging nature of service shared by 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.
Lions Club past president Randall Franks presented the award including $50 to Boynton graduates Max Owens and Miriam Gaines.
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.
