Family's Honor Flight surprise brings 89-year-old Navy veteran to tears

LANCASTER − A U.S. Navy veteran James Hanley has collected a lifetime of memories. But the surprise that awaited him during his September Honor Flight to Washington, D.C., brought him to tears. That's because his family in Virginia surprised him with a visit when he arrived in Washington. "It was wonderful," Hanley, 89, said. I'll never forget it. It was a tearjerker. My family met me. They came up from Virginia and met me at the Iwo Jima (monument). It was a surprise because I didn't know they were doing that. Oh my gosh. I teared up." Hanley and his fellow veterans got see a lot of the sites in Washington, including the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, Arlington National Cemetery, the U.S. Naval memorial, the World War II memorial, the Korean War memorial, the Vietnam Wall and much more. Hanley served from 1955 to 1990. He joined upon his high school graduation in Youngstown. "I wanted to make something out of myself," Hanley said. "I didn't have any goal in my mind at the time and I thought the Navy would train me. And I knew it was draft time and I didn't want to be drafted. So I

FBI agent who investigated Ohio's biggest public corruption cases dies

Retired FBI Special Agent Jeff Williams, who led significant investigations into corrupt public officeholders in Ohio, died Nov. 5 after a long fight with colorectal cancer. He was 57. In 2006, the Federal Bureau of Investigation brought Williams back to his hometown of Columbus to establish and lead a public corruption squad that would focus on state and local governments. His team made cases against a deputy state treasurer who fled to Pakistan , a Cincinnati city councilman who later received a presidential pardon , two sitting members of the Ohio House and others. The public knew little of Williams’ work because special agents avoid the limelight and work in near anonymity.

Householder is now serving a 20-year sentence in federal prison. The case interrupted what would
