Parsons High School Seniors Colin Ryan and Nick Sanborn have spent many hours in their drafting classes creating renderings of the proposed Veterans Memorial. As a way of saying thanks, Veteran Carl Johnson and the Pathways to Freedom Organization presented them with a check. Colin and Nick's efforts in creating a 3D rendering of the memorial have proved successful as the Parsons City Commission has recently approved the project and dedicated an area on the North side of the Municipal building. The student's visual rendering played a big part in that process. Way to Colin and Nick!
