The William H Crippen Post 62 of Humboldt held their regular meeting on Monday, June 5, 2017. Vice-Commander Dennis Erickson led the meeting since our Commander had a previous engagement. We had the salute to the Flag and the Pledge of Allegiance. Minutes and Treasurer’s reports were given and approved. It was noted that Charlie Beck had knee surgery and was present at the meeting, Neal Even was currently receiving therapy at the Salem nursing home and Dale Lofswold was recuperating at home. Doug Meyer was present at the meeting after having trouble with his heart this past month and was in the hospital. We had a thank-you from Dale.
There was discussion on our recent Memorial Day activities. Everyone agreed that it went smoothly. We had a great speaker and the West Central Band did a great job. Markers in the cemeteries were added when we discovered them. If anyone knows of a veteran who needs a marker, let a Legionnaire know about it. We are also in the process of getting the casket flags of veterans who have flag poles we are storing back to the families of these veterans. We have replaced and will flag nylon casket flags in their place. Our thanks to everyone who helped with the flag poles this year.
Fred Lee reminded the members about our State Convention coming up this month in Watertown. He told the members about the candidates running this year. We will have our National Commander present at the convention.
Before the meeting ended, we talked about the baseball team.
After these discussions, the meeting was adjourned.
Auxiliary Report

The William H. Crippen American Legion Auxiliary Unit 62 held their regular meeting Monday, June 5. The meeting was called to order by President Donna Beck with eleven members present. The minutes from our May 1st meeting were read, corrected and approved. The treasurer’s report was given and placed on file.
Sunshine Chairlady reported sending cards to Charlie Beck, Neil Even, and Doug Meyer.
The last letter from our current District President, Teresa Huntimer, was read, and we had received a thank you letter from the director of the Down Syndrome Association thanking us for our donation.
With May being such a busy month all members were thanked for their strong participation in all the activities. It was decided to get out more information on the Poppy Sales next year, and “why” the Poppy, and who makes them, etc. We also hope to get the Memorial Day Services and times on the town marque, placed in more papers, possibly make up posters for next year.
The Executive Committee will meet Tuesday, June 13th at 1:30.
Installation of Officers was conducted by Past President, Shirley Price.
Meeting was adjourned. Dianne won the door prize. She and Ken Struck and Fred Lee served lunch. Next month servers will be Gib and Barb Bassett and Neal and Agnes Even.
