Smile

What makes Dave Barker smile?  “My family,” said the 66-year-old Noblesville resident. He and his wife, Rhonda, have been married 40 years and have three sons, Daniel Barker and Victor Barker, and the late Jeremy Barker; and eight grandchildren, ages 5-19. He is a deacon at Clarksville Christian Church. Barker is semi-retired and working as a farmhand at Flanders Amazing Grain. He is a 24-year volunteer firefighter/EMT at White River Township Volunteer Fire Department and retired in January 2022. He is past president of Wayne-Fall Lions Club, which is having a Ham and Bean Dinner from 4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Saturday at the Club at 11940 E. 191st St., at DeShane Avenue and Victory Chapel Road in Noblesville. The menu features ham and beans, cornbread, cole slaw, desserts and drinks and hot dogs, all for a donation for Lions Club Christmas for families in this area who need assistance. The club is about three miles east of Indiana 37, across the street from Union United Methodist Church at 191st Street and Deshane Avenue.
