A Century of Heroes, is a book compiled by Trevor Chadburn of Provo. It contains stories of veterans from World War I right up to the war in Afghanistan. In November of 2011, as a member of the Timpview High Marching Band, Trevor participated, along with students in twenty-two other bands, in the commemoration of the 70th anniversary of Pearl Harbor. Inspired by his experiences and wanting to help preserve the stories of the great men and women who have served this country Trevor set about preparing this book as his Eagle Scout project.
Members of our Dixon community will be especially interested in reading the account of Jack Rollins. He is the father of Mrs. Patricia Drussel. The book relates his experience of being shot down over Vietnam and subsequent detention as a prisoner of war in the Hanoi Hilton. He was held for six and a half years before returning to his family. This book will be an absolute treasure for our students and teachers. We thank Trevor for completing this inspiring project and for giving Dixon a copy.
