Sturgis Journal
Bill Furr of Sturgis is a veteran of the Vietnam War. He is one a growing number of veterans willing to talk about his experience.
Bill and his wife, Sue, moved to the city in 1997. Bill is perhaps best-known for his tenure at Glen Oaks Community. Sue worked as an administrative assistant at Sturgis High School for more than a decade.
In 1970, Bill and Sue were engaged around the time he was drafted for two years of service. One was spent in training, the other in combat. After training, when Bill was 20, they married, just prior to him leaving for Vietnam.
