"Three pews weren't enough. You never know," said the Rev. Kevin Fruchtl of Ebenezer United Church of Christ, New Tripoli. Those three pews had been reserved for the members of American Legion Allen O. Delke Post 16 of Slatington, as they came to honor deceased members with a service of remembering those who had passed on during the past year.
"We don't have honoring for preschool and Veterans' Day on the same day. This year it was a quirk of the calendar," Fruchtl continued.
