MADD bestows national honor on Callahan

First-ever coroner to win Community Award

Grundy County Coroner John Callahan is the first coroner to ever receive the Mothers Against Drunk Driving Community Award.

Callahan was given the award this fall and, although he was unable to make it for the ceremony, the recognition bestowed on him did not go unnoticed. Callahan's son, Jake Callahan, who is a Marseilles police officer, accepted the award on behalf of his father.

"It's definitely an honor to be recognized by a national organization," said Callahan.
