Earlier this month, as they have for many years, members of the Bedford American Legion Auxiliary served a barbeque lunch to over 150 Veterans at the Edith Nourse Rogers Memorial Veterans Hospital in Bedford. Former Bedford resident Andy King and his championship team, the Bastey Boys, fired up their smokers and grills to prepare the barbeque.
