Henry Monsky's grandson carries on family legacy at Boys Town



BOYS TOWN, Neb. — Henry Monsky's grandson shares a name with his grandfather. This Henry is one of the newest tour guides at the Boys Town Hall of History. His grandfather's donation to Father Edward Flanagan in December 1917 led a lot to this. That connection brought him to Boys Town to help out. "I had retired in November of last year," Henry Monsky, the grandson said. "I started getting bored. There's only so much golf you can play. So, I decided I wanted to get a part-time job. I got on to the Boys Town website to see what was happening here."
