Guy Jonathan Graves was honored Dec. 15 at his Court of Honor, when he received the rank of Eagle Scout.
Jack E. Gourley, committee chairman, conducted the program. Dale Funk, scoutmaster of Troop 395, spoke briefly of Jon’s trail to Eagle.
Jon was born on Dec. 17, 1978 in Enterprise. Although Foster has always been his home, when he was small he traveled from Foster around the Pacific Northwest because of his father’s trade.
The Huskies’ twice-a-day swimming workouts during the Christmas break took on new meaning for many of the Sweet Home High athletes as they were able to workout side-by-side with two of the school’s all-time swimming greats.

Thanks to the generosity of many persons, a record number of Christmas Baskets were delivered to needy families by the Sweet Home Volunteer Fire Department.
Fire Marshal Keith Gabriel said 385 baskets were presented this year, up from 364 last year.
