News 5 Cleveland shares the touching story of Ron Newell, who started at Halle's Department Store back in 1956, designing their elaborate window displays, including the ones the store would unveil for the holidays.

That's it for today. See you again next week!
Only 151 days! Yikes! Many years ago we stayed at the Gaylord in Maryland. It was a beautiful experience! Your post about Ron touched my heart. My dad is 94 and also a Korean Vet. How wonderful to hear about another Vet!
ReplyDeleteThe Maryland one is the closest to us. I've never been but would love to go. Thanks to your dad for his service. Appreciate the visit and the comments.
