"It’s an honor to pay tribute to my two classmates. Thanks to Mayor Kelly Mollaun and City Council for their support. Thanks to Senator Randy Maxwell and Representative Garrett Bascom for their dedication in getting the bridges named. I always say “If you want to see Small Town America at its BEST, come to Southeastern Indiana.” It’s Lawrenceburg’s time to SHINE," said PG Gentrup.
