Thursday night brought one of my favorite events of the year: the 128th Air Refueling Wing Civic Dinner Dance. And the event had a local flavor.
Among the honorees from retired Chief Master Sergeant Tom Ludka, a former South Milwaukee resident who, along with his wife Barb, still has strong roots in the community.
Ludka, who spent nearly 30 years in our fair city, was inducted into the Wisconsin Air National Guard Hall of Fame, which was established in 1982 as a way to honor “enlisted or commissioned airmen who have greatly contributed to the success of the mission of the Wisconsin Air National Guard.”
That certainly sums up Chief Ludka, whose biography is as impressive as his commitment to community. Congratulations!
The Honored Citizen recipient was Richard Paradowski of St. Francis.
