While Larry and Jean Braby have called Pocahontas home for 60 years, they have never been far from their true home, Humboldt and Rutland.
Jean Schuyler graduated from Humboldt in 1955 and Larry Braby followed her a year later in 1956.
The couple was back in town recently to present checks to a couple of projects near and dear to their hearts, the new shelter house at Rose Mill Park in Rutland and the Veterans Memorial being planned for Worthington Park in Humboldt.
Read about why they think it is important to give back to their hometown in this week's Humboldt Independent, your trusted source for local news and sports.
