One of the articles posted here concerns Frank Maykut, a Jehovah’s Witness who was sentenced to a five-year prison term for resisting the draft. I’m not sure he went to prison or how long he was there, but he remained active in his faith and appears to have had a successful career in business. He died just over a month ago at the age of 90.
