Caption reads: Ron Kruse, center, with Developmental Services of Franklin County, presented a “Tin Man Award” to Joe Ferguson of Revolution Cycles, left, and Ray Richardson with the Washington VFW. The award, which was presented Thursday, Aug. 4, is given to those who have done a good deed in terms of developmental services. Recently, the VFW and Revolution Cycles held a bicycle raffle. The young lady who won the bicycle had a developmental disability and wasn’t able to ride it because of a lack of balance. Ferguson offered to trade in the bicycle for a three-wheel model and the VFW made up the cost difference. The girl was then able to take off on the three-wheeler and was “thrilled to death” with her new bike, Ferguson said.
