Local Army veteran Paul Shober of Ephrata turned 100 years old this past week and a wonderful celebration was planned by family and friends. Members of the Ephrata VFW helped organize the placement of 100 flags in his yard, as well as, a parade of cars and
police vehicles led by mayor Ralph Mowen that drove by as Paul sat on the porch to take it all in. Several members of “Blankets of Honor” also stopped to present Paul with a beautiful Army blanket for his service to our country. According to Paul’s son Mike, he
was quite surprised at the recognition and will cherish his blanket. He has received over 300 cards from all over the United States wishing him a “Happy 100th.” Paul worked as a plumber and said he never had a bad day. He has four children:
