Lanark Village does have many angels in its midst and a couple of them are named Herschell Blanchett and Bob Dietz, longtime residents of Lanark. In the last 10 years these two men drove children to Shriners Hospital in Tampa, sometimes making it a back-and-forth trip. Herschell made 73 trips and Bob was by his side for 48 of most of those trips. These were donated trips. Recently they had lunch with an 18-year-old young man, named Jacobe, who was 8 years old when they had started making the trips to the hospital. They both have remained friends with Jacobe and his family throughout these years.
Please stay safe and remember that we have more people visiting here throughout the summer. Highway 98 has shown its dangerous side many times over the years.
Love Lanark.
