Meet Your
Correspondent
This article is the first of
many written to acquaint the
readers with Frontier corres
pondents — the persons who
cover the news in every spot
in this area.
In the past years Verdigre has
received considerable publicity in
territory newspapers, and a great
deal of this publicity has been
through the efforts of Vac Randa,
Frontier correspondent.
WSKbESSKStSjU \ *** I ■■■ l IHIIH. i IJi.pi ■■III ."!
Vac Randa
Vac was bom near Niobrara
and moved to Verdigre in 1900.
He had a contract at that time
to build the Verdigre rural tele
phone lines, the first lines in that
part of Knox county. Vac be
lieves his line into O’Neill was
the first one entering this city.
It was a difficult project build
ing telephone lines then as all
of Vac’s transportation was by
foot. He had to walk the entire
400 miles of line, several times,
climbing each pole until the job
was completed.
Vac since then has served in
many civic positions, including
six and one-half years on the
draft board, many years on the
city council, the board of educa
tion and the volunteer fire de
partment. He inscribed gradua
tion diplomas for over a quarter
of a century. While on the fire
department Vac well remembers
the time Verdigre had the larg
est, most destructive fire in its
history—when the Verdigre roller
mills burned to the ground.
The Verdigre correspondent has
a great interest in anything that
will better his community. When
any event occurs which will pro
mote his town, Vac proudly writes
of the happening and sees that
his items are placed in The Fron
tier. .
His loyalty doesn’t stop at
home—it covers his country, also,
as one of the first things he tells
about his family is the fact that
his son served as staff sergeant
in the largest signal corps in the
United States; his one grandson
is in the navy and the other
grandson is an instructor in the
missile department at F,t. Sill,
Okla.
Every town needs a Chamber
of Commerce member like Vac
Randa.
