Each participant wore a badge
advertising his effort and kept a jour-
nal in which he recorded his activi-
ties and feelings concerning the
week-long project. The project was
kicked off with a school-wide assem-
bly which included a mock funeral
for a television set. The set was
draped in black, and a number of
students and teachers dressed in
black read eulogies for the televi-
sion.
Jo Long, a first-grade teacher at
the Frankford school who organized
the event, said, "We like to try differ-
ent things here. At first the kids were
really 'in shock' and had some
trouble adjusting to being without

First And
To Us For
By Jonathan Wright
Two Greenbrier County towns
will play host May 10 and 11 to a
cross-country bicycle tour by Korean
War veterans commemorating the
fortieth anniversary of the Korean
War. Overnight stops are planned in
White Sulphur Springs and Rainelte.
The group will travel U. S. 60
through the county.
Goldy Norton, deputy executive
chairman of the International Korean
War Veterans Memorial Committee
in Los Angeles, said it is difficult to
determine how many bicyclists will
take part in the event. Participants
may join the trip at any point on the
itinerary, which will roughly follow
the thirty-eighth parallel of latitude
(on which the border of North and
South Korea lies) throughout the trip
across America. The trip will con-
clude June 24 in San Pedro, Califor-
nia.
The organization's purpose is to
raise funds and increase public
awareness for the $5 million Interna-
tional Korean War Veterans Memo-
rial to be built in San Pedro. Target
date for completion of the monu-
ment, contingent on sufficient dona-
tions, is November 1991, according
to Mr Norton. "The memorial will sa-
lute the men and women from 22
nations who served and died under
the United Nations banner to pre-
serve freedom in South Korea," ac-
cording to a press release from the
veterans' organization.
]he tour begins May 7 in Wash-
tngton, D. C., with overnight stops
the first three days in Winchester,
Harrisonburg, and Lexington, Vir-
ginia. The group is expected to ar-
rive in White Sulphur Springs the af-
ternoon of May 10 and spend the
remainder of the day talking to re,sL-.
dents and inviting them to make
pledges based on the miles covered
by the riders. A bronze model of the
memcria! will be transpcrted alcng
the route and will be displayed at
each overnight stop on the trip.
Participants will travel to Rainelle
May 11 and spend the night there.
Rainelle will also be an overnight
stop May 24 of motorcyclists from
the Pew (Prisoners of War) Free-
dom Foundation in their cross-coun-
try trip from San Diego to Washing-
ton.
Mr Norton said his Korean vet-
eran participants are looking forward
to visiting numerous small towns
along their way. "We're very enthusi-
astic about the potential of fund-rais-
ing because we're going to have to
avoid the interstate, making it nec-
essary for us to go through many
small towns. Many veterans groups
have found that small-town folks get
a lot more excited about such
events than those in large cities."
Two of the bicyclists, Rik Yoshi-
zawa and Gordon Greene, have
pledged to make the entire 3,000-
mile trip. Mr Yoshizawa is from Car-
son, California, and was a member
of the Army's Twenty-fourth Infantry
Division, the first division to see ac-
tion in Korea. He is an American of
Japanese descent. During World
War II he and "his family were con-
fined in a re-location camp in Man-
zanar, California. After his discharge
from the Army, Mr Yos hizawa
worked as a technical illustrator and
later spent several years as a ship-
yard machinist for the Navy. He is
now retired.
Mr Greene, from Lincoln, Ne-
braska, served in Korea in the First
Marine Division as a rifleman, pla-
toon runner, and fire team leader.
Following his discharge from the
Marines he taught elementary
school and is now a professor of
education at the University of Ne-
braska. The idea of the cross-coun-
try bicycle trip was originated by Mr
Greene.
