Moment of silence for two Walhallans

This week’s meeting of Walhalla City Council started with a moment of silence in memory and thoughts of two prominent Walhallans. Mayor Danny Edwards asked the city council and those in the audience to remember long-time merchant Bill McLees, who died Tuesday at his apartment home on E. Main Street downtown. And the mayor asked those at the meeting to keep in thought and prayers first-year city councilwoman Kathy Rogers, who is battling cancer.
