Honoring a Father and Son in Nevada | Reno News

The idea, championed by a former school bus driver and journalist who knew both men, aims to honor two generations of public service: one through teaching and coaching youth, the other through military sacrifice. School trustees will vote on the name later this month, with supporters calling it a rare and powerful tribute that could inspire future generations by linking education and patriotism under one legacy.
