Three men who were among the anchors of the popular Ripon Lions Club after its founding in 1944 chatted together last week about old times during their reigns as presidents. Joe O’Leary, George Fields and Gerry Thiemann all share a passion for the club. Fields and O’Leary both joined the club in 1961 and have been in the membership for 51 years.
