Army Cpl. Robert "Bob" Dunston, whose iconic shoe repair shop on Eustis Street was the stuff of which hometowns are made, was spotlighted in the June 18, 2019 issue; and Leesburg's Sword Heating and Air Conditioning owner Eric Sword, an aviation Leatherneck, grabbed the SALUTE headlines in the edition of Dec. 6, 2020. We introduced you to combat-wounded Marine Sgt. Sebastien Lajeunesse in the April 25, 2020 paper, as the Afghanistan vet continues to grab attention throughout Central Florida with St. Johns Hops, up Umatilla way. And, in the spring of this year, it was our sad but honored duty to note the passing of Leesburg Undersea Adventures owner Jim Calvin.
