* It's a bit odd that most of the starting points are now ascendants of Grace.  Maybe this is begging the question of what this site's purpose should be.  At first, I thought it would just be cool to combine the Linn and Lindstrom history on one place.  Does it seem likely that folks beyond those families will be interested enough in this site to be offended that their family is not listed on the start?  I'm not sure.  -- [[User:Elindstr|Elindstr]] 04:39, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

** Other sites (e.g., rootsweb, ancestry.com) address this by letting each user/family create their own database.  This achieves letting the family curate which people they want to have show up in their view, but fails at encouraging cross-family collaboration and integrating people across databases (i.e., does the person have TWO records?  Who keeps them in sync?).  Need to think of a better solution to this problem... -- [[user:Jim.lindstrom|Jim.Lindstrom]] 23:43, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

Frank Linn in WWII
Franklin John Linn (1911 - 2002) grew up in Shelby, Iowa. After high school, Frank enrolled in the School of Veterinary Medicine at Iowa State College in Ames. In his senior year Frank was captain of the Iowa State wrestling team, conference champion, and Midwestern A.A.U champion. He achieved All-American status in 1937 and 1938 in the National Collegiate Championships.

In 1936, Frank was hired to pose for a mural which was being prepared fro the Ames Post Office. Frank posed in the artist, Lowell Houser's home. The theme of the mural was: "The Development of Corn". Frank received fifty cents an hour for his work. The mural still graces the lobby of the Ames Post Office.

Frank was called up to serve in WWII in 1942. He was based in India and Burma and helped care for pack animals in the Army. His war stories tell of fishing with dynamite, secret overnight hunting missions, and encounters with elephants. (more...)
