El Dorado American Legion Post 81 honored one of its own at the Legion Golf Course Pro Shop Thursday.

Bob Bischoff was honored by having the Legion pro shop named after him in a ceremony Thursday. The presentation was done by Post 81 Commander Jerry Demo.

Demo said everyone agreed the dedication was a proper tribute to Bischoff, who is currently suffering from ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease), for all of his hard work and dedication to the Legion.



Bischoff served in the Army from 1973-74, then joined Post 81 in 1975. Over the past 32 years, Bischoff has been golf course chairman, Bingo chairman, Legion finance officer, and a member of the Executive Board for nearly 20 years. He has also been responsible for improvements to the course.

“Seeing this crowd today is just overwhelming. There's probably a lot of people who deserve this more than me. I was just having fun the whole time, just enjoying myself.”
