Veterans honored Friday
How ‘bout them Astros! Not only was the last game of the 2022 World Series exciting, it was equally exciting to see an Anderson native on TV. Stephanie (Kimich) Burzynski and son Hagan just happened to be on one of the “fan clips” throughout the evening. Stephanie is the daughter of Ricky and Debby Kimich.
