I haven't been back to Covington for a few years and was wondering if anything had ever been done to honor Ned for all of the civic work he had done? I know he had been mayor in the '50s, worked to set up
Ft.Rowdy days, helped start the museum, and attended every football game from the time it was renewed until failing health forced him to move to Texas with his son.
He was a very fine man and I'm sure quite a few folks remember how much he contributed to the town.

Thank you for writing about Ned Drees. While I do not have the answer for you the village has a new website where you should be able to get more information. The link below is directly to their contact form. I hope this helps you. (you may have to copy/paste it in your browser).
