   Mr. Breshears grew up in southern Benton County. He was a 1946 graduate of Warsaw High School. He was inducted into the Army and was stationed Camp Drum in New York and Fort Devins in Massachusetts. He then went to California, where in 1953 he was a witness to and part of environmental experiments during the explosion of an atomic bomb at Camp Desert Rock in Nevada.
   
   Following his discharge, he began college studies at the University of Missouri-Columbia. He received a bachelor of science degree in agriculture in 1959. He then moved to Peoria, Ill., where he was an assistant plant manager for Sealtest Foods. He returned to Columbia three and a half years later to work toward a master's degree in education, which he later received. He was an earth science teacher at the seventh and eighth-grade levels at West Junior High and Oakland Junior High in Columbia.
   
   He moved to Warsaw in 1974 and taught at Warsaw High School. He then began working summer months as a park ranger for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at the Truman Visitors' Center and Campgrounds. Following his retirement from teaching, he continued to work as a park ranger on a full-time basis. He retired in 1995. He worked with Ed Elmore since the start of the Heritage Days celebration, helping to make it an annual event. He worked on the Heritage Days committee as long as his health permitted.
   
   He was a member of Warsaw Christian Church, Shawnee Masonic Lodge 653 AF&AM in Warsaw, the National Association of Retired Federal Employees and the University of Missouri Extension Council. He was a leader for junior achievement in Peoria, Ill. He was a diligent participant in the "morning coffee clutch" in Fristoe, where local, national and world events were certainly discussed, if not always resolved. He enjoyed visiting with family, friends, neighbors, former classmates and students.
