George Bezemek to celebrate 90th

George Bezemek is celebrating his 90th birthday. He was born July 23, 1927, in southwest Ellsworth County and resides on the family farm homesteaded by his grandfather.

After graduating from Lorraine High School, he joined the U.S. Army and served in the 2nd Armored Division.

He is known for his love of car racing. In the early 60s and 70s, he built and raced his own car — No. 68 — competing at racing meets around the state. He is retired after 40-plus years as a mechanic.

His family is requesting a card shower in his honor. Cards may be sent to 1585 11th Rd., Ellsworth, Ks. 67439.
