Ron Pfrimmer would like to be included on that impressive list of more than 100 names. “It would be nice,” the 77-year-old said. Pfrimmer grew up in Coeur d’Alene and was among the class of ‘54, the last to graduate from the old Coeur d’Alene High School on Seventh Street. The Long Beach, Calif., resident had a 29-year military career, six in reserves with the Marine Corps. He was a lieutenant colonel when he retired in 1982.
