From the April 7, 2011, Holland (Mi) Sentinel.
Lester Shaffer was born in Holland, Michigan March 23, 1909, and served in the Army in the 1930s and was discharged before being drafted after the war began. Served in France, rising to the rank of sergeant.
In civilian life he drove a tanker truck for Texaco before he and his wife, Pauline, settled in Douglas. Operated the Douglas Dinette for ten years. It is now the Everyday People Cafe at 11 Center Street.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
