The Wapella Flag flies high and proudly (highly and proudly..high and proud?) in celebration of the birthday of one of Wapella's finest, Ernest N. Thorp (WHS '35). Ernest, a lifelong Wapella man with a rural Clinton address, will be 90 years old.
Ernest has a resume a mile long, is an Illini, and a Flying Farmer, among his many highlights. Ernest Thorp, WWII B-17 Pilot, will be celebrating his birthday with friends from 1-4pm at Crang-Bennett American Legion Post #103 in Clinton, Illinois.
A full salute to a fine gentleman from the entire staff at Wapella.com

Solomon advises to "follow the steps of good men" (Prov 2:20, NLT). I am thankful God provides good examples like Ernest to follow.
Happy Birthday, Ernest. I wish we could be there today.
Steve Harrold and family
