0 Tribute to Hard Work of William R. Holly A review of the opening of the rorty & Eight club rooms would : ';e incomplete if a few words were not given the man who is largely responsible for the pres ent club rooms, and for the es tablishment of Cass County Voi ture 1218 in Plattsmouth. This is W. Holly, past Chef de Gare ff th'- voiture and Past Grand Con'lucteur of the grand voiture of Nebraska. Roy, as he is better known in he veteran circles, had the in spiration of securing a voiture La Societe in this city in the :;'T,iratr of 1943, and at once se ( ared from the office of the 1 len Grand Chef de Gare. Joe .'.dams, the necessary applica tion for a charter of La Societe ; i this city. He circulated the r opiication among the past com manders of the American Le rion. and other workers in the -.rganizaticn. end socn had the ::?cessary applications and membership fees to secure the charter. The voiture was instituted hTe in October 1043 with Grand Chef cie Gare Adams and Max .'"rnenberger, serving as the of : leers instituting the voitur?. "i.ie members of the voiture were v recked in Omaha in October H43 with the exception of four ot the PG's who were unable to attend. Th first club rooms were es tablished in the then Bekin b uilding in the late mall of 1943 here they remained until mov ii.g to the new club rooms on December 31, 1949. It was largely through the personal labor and hard work of Mr. Hol ly, with the assistance of others cf the voiture, that the old club rooms were made ready and furnished by the voiture and opened to the membership and the Legion. In the arrange ments of the rooms Mr. Kolly did a large part of the painting, plumbing and wiring of the building. He helped in the busi ness management of the club and has been the chairman of J he house commute since the organization of the club. It was his thought that tl:? 40 & 8 should have a building of its own, through his persistence the present building was pur chased in 1948. The work of the remodeling of the present club rooms was a real task, as it re quired the removal of existing partitions, the removal of old wainscoating in the rooms, the replastering of all the upper floor before the real start of making the club rooms realized was possible. Step by step he had been the pusher of the proj ect and while many of the mem bers joined in the work, it was h's enthusiasm and faith that made it possible. To him is due full credit. Frank II.
