*******************************
The flag flying over the bandstand during November is in honor of Glen Boughton.
After high school, Glen helped his father farm near Lacey, Iowa. He entered the military, July 15, 1952, and was stationed with the Army in Germany working with artillery. After almost 18 months in Germany, he was honorably discharged, June 21, 1954.
Upon his return to Iowa in January 1954, he resumed working with his father on the family farm. In 1968, he moved to the New Sharon area and took a job at the Taintor Co-op Elevator. He also did custom spraying for farmers in the area. Later, Glen became a real estate agent with Century 21. He also worked as a car salesman for Van Zee Motors for a number of years before purchasing the business. He renamed it “The Auto Plaza” and operated it with his son, Paul, until the time of his retirement.
