Troy Tribe was kept busy last Wednesday, Aug. 8, at the microphone reminding people at Huck Finn Day to stay out of the water, or go into the water, or rescue someone from the water. Huck Finn Day is a popular popu-lar and fun part of Lindon Days, held at Creekside Park, 600 W. 100 South. City workers dammed the creek, usually about a foot across and fairly shallow, where it runs under 100 South, creating a fishing stream 10 to 12 or so feet across, and stocked it. Children from ages 3-10 fished the stream with bait and pole for an hour, taking them to a table for measuring measur-ing by the Little Miss Lindon royalty. After an hour of measuring measur-ing fish, the royalty gave out awards. Trace Esteban caught the biggest fish, 16 inches. Lindsay Savage got the Trout with the Biggest Fight award.. Travis Atchison got Smallest Fish award, and Jory Anderson won the- prize for First Trout. Then the fun began. Tribe told everyone to put their poles away and get out their nets, shopping bags, bare hands anything but poles and wade into the water, about two feet deep. John Carson waded in up to his chin down by the culvert, cul-vert, reaching in to pull fish out of a hole. Earlier he had held up a fish he caught with his pole, "I think I got the second biggest fish." Fish weren't the only things caught. Cameron Peterson and Austin De St. Jeor showed off ' a snake Cameron found. Tribe kept reminding everyone, "Ten and under in the water," and "Please watch your children. We've got someone drowning over here." After about a half hour he had the kids count their catch. Peri Gibson was the Champion Girl Fisher with 11 fish, and Bo Welker was Champion Boy Fisher with 23. Lindon unv . By Harlow Clark Lind'on now has a memorial to its war dead. The memorial was unveiled during the Lindon Days flag raising, Saturday morning, Aug. 11. Bob Patch said the opening prayer, then Jessica Huffaker sang, "I'm Proud to Be an American." After that the mayor spoke briefly about the men whose pictures were on the plaque. "Whether it's in France at the age of 28 at the expense of a German shell, or Germany or New Guinea or Vietnam ... each of these young men had a Jife and a story, individual circumstances, cir-cumstances, that was cut short." He thanked the Historic Preservation Committee for preserving preserv-ing their memories, then the color guard Douglas R. Eddins, Ernesto Ferron, Mike Bartell, Daniel McKown, Garth Read and Cecil Hansen presented pre-sented arms and fired three volleys, the bugler played a tune to raise the flag and Merlin Gaisford and Vergil Rieski raised the flag. After they lowered low-ered it to half-mast the bugler, Cecil Hansen, played Taps, Jessica Huffaker sang "The Star-Spangled Banner," and the mayor read the ten names on the monument. Each has a plaque with several paragraphs about his life and death. Lynne S. Robison, the only soldier from World War I, died April 9, 1918 in France while the town he was in was being shelled by Germans. Cpl. Cecil C.

He saved many lives and was awarded the Silver ' Star posthumously. "Building 817, Anderson Place, U.S. Army Transportation Center at Fort Eustis, Virginia, was designated 'Fowlke Barracks' in his honor." Sgt. Henson Frank Walker, part of the "169th Light Infantry Brigade near Chu Lia, Vietnam," was killed Friday, June 13, 1969 "in a night skirmish skir-mish with the Viet Cong."

Jeffery Alan Goss was killed May 24, 1968 "in an ambush when he volunteered vol-unteered to rescue two buddies who had been shot."

He carried one man under heavy fire to a waiting helicopter and then physically assisted the overloaded over-loaded helicopter to become airborne. Sgt. David Rasmussen left for Ft. Lewis, Wash., with Earnest Fowlke August 16, 1967. He trained as a paratrooper para-trooper in Georgia, but none were needed in Vietnam, "so he went into gunnery school and became a gunner on an armored transport truck." On his second trip out, "the vehicle took several direct rocket hits "and all twelve men aboard were killed. They were all between the ages of 19 and 21." The monument, in front of the flagpole flag-pole in City Park, will be moved over by the Veterans Memorial Hall when the exterior restoration work is finished fin-ished there. , Ik iliillp! A , .
