“SPOTLIGHT”

DOUG PREWITT

 

   Doug Prewitt was born in the Sioux City area, but moved to Merrill in the early ‘60s.  He graduated from LCHS in 1967.

   Doug and his wife, Edie, have two children, Aaron, who lives in Sheldon and Jessica, from Spencer.  They are also the proud grandparents of five granddaughters, aging from 10 to 3 months.

   Doug retired from the Sioux City Comm. Schools June 3, 2010.  Although he worked several jobs, he retired as a plumber.

   Doug is past commander of the American Legion Post 125 and remains very active in that group.

    Merrill is fortunate that Doug volunteered his expertise at the Kissinger Community Center working more than 100 hours.

   If Doug has any spare time, he enjoys gardening, hunting and fishing.  He also helps his brothers in law on the farm.

 

   HATS OFF TO DOUG!
