Past Pres. to Be Memorialized
Sr. Member Ed Chertok received a request from Eagle Scout Cory
Cosgrove, grandson of Past Pres. Hal Gunn to participate in a
veterans' memorial in Highland, Utah, featuring a statue of his
grandfather. Gunn is being so honored for an incident that happened
almost 60 years ago. Hal save the life of his friend, Woodrow
(Woody) Morgan, a fellow pilot and prisoner of war in Germany.
On one of Hitler's death marches, Hal and his other friend, Dee
Butler, noticed that their companion was missing. Strong and
brave men were dropping in the deep snow from exhaustion and
exposure. Hal found Woody asleep in a grove of trees where he
would have frozen to death if he had stayed. Hal and Dee picked
him up and dragged him along the trail with the other prisoners
until he was fully revived and had the strength to walk on his
own. Any donations made payable to Highland Veteran's Memorial
Fund may be sent to Highland City, 5378 West 10400 North, Highland,
UT, 84003.
