Mr. Sheaner is one of the last Americans who was a veteran of WW2 and his story, like the story of countless others, will continue to remain a significant piece in US history.His story of survival, hunger and reflection from a teenaged prisoner of war inside Germany near the end of WWII is truly remarkable. From capture at the Battle of The Bulge to the final escape from his German guards, Mr. Sheaner gives us a glimpse into the despair and agony of being a prisoner in a foreign land. At 99 Years Old he is easily the oldest guest on the podcast.

The White Rock Lake Foundation is instrumental in presenting the case for the maintenance and improvement of White Rock Lake. It coordinates public relations efforts, serves as a unified advocacy group before the Dallas City Council, acts in close and effective cooperation with the Dallas Park and Recreation Board to assist in long-term planning and design, and spearheads private fundraising efforts.The White Rock Lake Foundation got its start in 1989, when a concerned group of citizens formed the foundation out of concern for the lake. Friends’ first task was to have the dredging project for the lake placed on the upcoming bond election. Friends was among several similarly concerned groups who pleaded the case before the Dallas City Council, with successful results: the issue was placed on the bond referendum and in May 1995, Dallas voters overwhelmingly approved a $18 million dollar bond issue to dredge White Rock Lake and restore it to a healthy, life-sustaining depth by the end of the 20th century.Connect with us!
