One of county's oldest vets reminisces on a 'good life'

Down a winding stretch of Diamond Road, east of Superior, is a small home nestled in a pine filled canyon just past the old Diamond Match Mill. It’s the home of Joe Magone and his daughter, Diane, where a hand painted sign greets visitors and mentions her Bengal cats she once bred and sold. Joe was honored last Saturday during an Armed Forces Day celebration in Superior. He sat alongside two other veterans, John Cochran and William Merriman and Ryan Cahalin, a Superior student who recently joined the forces. In June, Joe will turn 95 and has the distinction of being one of the county’s oldest living veterans, having served in the Army Air Corp. during WWII.
