fines of up to $250,000, and supervised release for a period of three years after he is released from prison, said Rachelle Barnes, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney’s office for the Eastern District of Tennessee. According to documents filed in the case, Replogle

admitted to using the internet in April to contact a dark web entity who purported to arrange murders for hire. He provided the would-be killer with the intended victim’s name and address, a description of the victim’s vehicle, and a specific date, time and place where the

victim could be found and mur- dered. In addition, Replogle asked that the killing appear as “road rage or [a] carjacking gone wrong.” In exchange for the antici- pated murder, Replogle used the internet to transmit a payment of 0.2924549 Bitcoin

which, on the day of payment, had the approximate value of $17,853. Agents with the Federal Bureau of Investigation learned of the plot through a tip from repre- sentatives of the British Broadcasting Corporation, intervened and arrested the

defendant. Ann Replogle was not harmed as a result of the attempt. Nelson Replogle retired in June 2018 from the Thornapple Kellogg district, where he’d taught social studies. He had served as a class sponsor and was among those reading the

list of names of graduates at TKHS’ commencement exer- cises in 2018, according to the district’s website. Ann Replogle also retired that same year from the Hastings district, and the cou- ple had moved to Knoxville shortly after their retirement.

Norman Bruce Jahnke (Bruce Lundy) passed away October 25, 2021. He was born in Caledonia, on February 20, 1932, son of Kenneth Loren Jahnke and Frances Boulard. His parents divorced while he was still a toddler. His mother went away to work and he and his sister, Patty, were raised with their aunts and uncles through their early years at the home of their grandparents, Ward and Mary Boulard, in Bowne Center. Eventually the children were returned to their mother and her new husband in Portland, OR where he be- came known as Bruce Lundy. After some adventuresome times in the western states, the children once again returned to the Boulard household to complete their teenage years. Their father had remar- ried and they had two addi- tional siblings, Joann and Larry, who lived in Bay City. Norm (Bruce) graduated from Caledonia High School

in 1951 and entered the Air Force, returning to his legal name of Norman Jahnke. He served during the Korean conflict, mostly as a mechanic and later as an instructor in jet engine repair and mainte- nance, achieving the rank of Staff Sergeant. During his Air Force years, he met and married Joann’s friend, Patricia Lafern Hertel. They married at Shepherd AF base in Wichita Falls, TX and children soon followed. After leaving the service in 1961, he tried to follow his dream of farming. They lived in Rockford, Freeport and Caledonia before settling in Middleville, where they

raised their children and set- tled into factory work. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Norm was active as a Boy Scout and Sea Scout leader as well as 4H. Eventually he opened a business on M37 selling and ser- vicing bicycles, small engine equipment and sewing ma- chines. He was a former member of the Western Michigan Rabbit Breeders Assoc., the Organic Farmers Association, and several antique tractor and engine clubs. Norm and Pat were instrumen- tal in the activities of Prairieville Old Fashioned Farm days throughout its years where he served as the curator of vintage and antique tractors. After their children were raised and moved away from home, they sold their home in Middleville and moved to Allendale to be closer to her work. There, he had a small organic farm business for several years. Norm’s wife of 54 years,
