Korean War Veterans Association

Lew and Mary Jane Ewing, Charles Hoak, Marshall DeHaven, Herb Taylor, Narce Caliva, Josh Morimoto, David Clark, Rev. Raleigh Watson, and Ollie Thompson.    The first 6 members also went to the grave site service, and the lunch for attendees after the service.     Francis served with the U.S. Army’s 66th Topographical Unit in Germany from 1951-1953 during the Korean Conflict.  I sat with Harry Renton, who served with Francis in this Unit in Germany during the luncheon. He indicated he worked closely with Francis in producing maps of both East and West Germany to support our troops.  Planes took photos which were then used to make the maps. Francis was the founding member of the Boyce Volunteer Fire Company and installed new officers. He also worked for many years at the Carr Publishing in Boyce as a linotype operator and retired from Abex Corporation after years as an International Cataloging Manager.   He and his wife, Audrey were long time members of the Duncan Memorial UMC along with both Lew and Mary Jane Ewing.  Lew also served as Usher for this service.
