Elks Lodge honors member for 52 years of service

Community Snapshot: The BPOE #1119 of Las Cruces would like to recognize Bob Barnett for his 52 years of service as an active Elk during which he exemplified what it means to be an Elk. He has been an Elks Lodge organist for all those years. Barnett, 87, was born in Carroll, Ohio, on June 10, 1932. Barnett, the youngest son of five siblings, was always drawn to music. He now owns the Burger Nook in Las Cruces with his wife of 39 years, Brenda. Barnett is also a highly decorated U.S. soldier serving three years in covert operations in Korea and three years in the Vietnam War as one of the original Green Berets. He continues to play for all the places he has donated an organ. To submit an item for community snapshot, email photo and information to news@lcsun-news.com.
