R-B grad battles cancer, as brother gets deployed

SPRING GROVE – Upbeat and good-humored, two brothers, both graduates of Richmond-Burton Community High School, watched mechanics work on the white Chevrolet Silverado, talking parts and generally joking around.

Kienan Wubs, 23, had arranged the donated parts and work with Union-based Calibrated Power Solutions Inc. on Tuesday as a surprise for his brother, Camden Wubs, 27. Kienan, a sergeant with the U.S. Marines, wanted to give his brother something to smile about before he left for his eight-month deployment to Afghanistan because there’s a chance that Camden might not be there when he gets back.

Camden, a senior airman with the Air Force, was diagnosed with cancer in September 2011 while stationed at the British Royal Air Force Station Lakenheath with the 48th Component Maintenance Squadron.
