EDUCATION: Attended school at Haxtun, Colorado; Lodgepole, Nebraska; Ovid, Colorado
RECOLLECTIONS:
Gail Delbert Powell, at the age of fourteen, learned to operate a road grader, and became so proficient he could do so with precision.Gail Delbert Powell enlisted in the US Navy on 9 October 1943. He trained at Farragut, Idaho. He later served on 5 different ships. His longest assigment was served aboard the destroyer, USS Acree #169 in the Pacific.
From a letter written home from Farragut, Idaho dated 18 May 1944 he wrote that his basic training was completed and he was on furlough waiting for his assignment to a base or ship. He did not have enough money for bus fare home. He went into town, where he got a job running a "blade" for the Catapillar Tractor Company, making 92 cents an hour. He complained about the high prices of food in town, 20 cents for 2 doughnuts and a cup of coffee, 30 cents for a hamburger and cup of coffee.
During the war there were holes in some of his letters, where locations were cut away. Some letters tell he was at the Marshall Islands, New Guinea and the Phillipines.
At some point he attended a Naval Diesel School. He was discharged on 17 Oct 1945, as a Motor Machinist Mate 3C.
When he arrived home his hair had turned totally white and it never returned to its natural brown color. He was 6'1" with blue eyes.
Gail Powell was employed in the construction field most of his life. As young boys, he and his older brother, Orson, worked with road building crews in Lodgepole, Nebraska and Ovid, Colorado. They worked on the excavation of the ground when the Great Western sugar factory was built at Julesburg, Sedgwick Co., CO. When the factory was in operation they both worked there processing sugar beets.
The construction jobs he worked on are too numerous to remember. Colorado has over 80,000 miles of roads and he worked on most of them at some time.
His daughter, Joyce, remembers seeing him operate the road grader, a bull dozer and a back-holer, for the water systems. He worked on I-70, from the east to west borders of the state of Colorado, on I-80 in Wyoming, on I-25 and others no longer remembered.
After the war he worked for Sigmond Feed Lot in Adams Co., Colorado. He fed and cared for cattle brought in from the range, before they were trucked to Swift and Co., for slaughter. When Swift began closing business in Denver he worked for the Cabusco Company on West Evens Ave. before he returned to construction work.
He worked for Warrner Brothers Construction Company for several years. They put in water and drain pipes. Some of the jobs were: water systems at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs; water and sprinkler systems at Denver's City Park and at Stapleton Airport.
In 1976, while he was working on I-65 near Fort Morgan, CO he and Alice decided to sell out at Englewood. They purchased a nice older home in Crook, Logan Co., CO which is 28 miles east of Sterling. This was a nice community of 200 people.
On 23 Dec 1977 Gail Powell retired. He received a 35 year award from the Colorado Operating Engineers. On Christmas day 1977, just two days after retirement, he suffered a massive stroke that left him paralyzed on the left side. He suffered poor health the rest of this life.
In 1979 Gail and Alice sold their property in Crook, CO and returned to Englewood.
Gail Powell worked hard all his life. He relaxed by going fishing. He could spot fish in a creek when no one else could see them. He'd catch 6-7 nice trout in 15 minutes.

Alice Carolyn RundleEDUCATION: Attended schools in Englewood, Arapahoe Co., CO and Black Hawk, Clear Creek Co., CO
RECOLLECTIONS:
During the depression years of the 1930s her father operated a placer mine on Chicago Creek, in Golden Creek Canyon, near Black Hawk, Colorado. He needed help with the mining operation. It was decided that Alice and her brother, Steuart, would go to the mine site, while her mother and two older sisters would remain in Englewood, CO. The two sisters were operators for the Mountain States Telephone Company.In the mountains, Alice cooked meals, kept house and worked at the mine. At that time, many houses in the area had been abandoned by previous owners who had made or lost their fortunes and moved on. From the allowance that Alice received, she saved enough to purchase her own house. She paid $25.00 plus $110.00 in back taxes. This house is located in Black Hawk, Colorado, next door to the famous "Lace House." Today (1996) it is a gambling extablishment. By 1940, she sold the house for $400.00. She always referred to the house as, "My House," and always regretted that she sold it.
Alice had many talents in hand crafts and cooking. She could make homemade breads and cinnamon rolls that melted in your mouth. Her children never knew "fast" or "instant" foods until they were out on their own. Daughter Joyce said, "I never learned Mom's cooking talent. I can only cook with the help of God and Betty Crocker."
Alice was a member of the 20 Grand Club for years. She made numerous hand-made quilts for the children at the Ridge State Home for the retarded.

David Orson PowellPARENTS: Gail Delbert Powell and Alice Carolyn Rundle
EDUCATION: Attended schools in Denver, Adams Co., and Englewood, Colorado.
MILITARY:
David Orson Powell joined the US Navy in 1959, taking training at San Diego, CA. He received further training at Norfolk, VA, Great Lakes and San Diego. He was assigned to various ships, serving duty in the Mediterranean and the Pacific. He was a Naval Recruiting Office in the state of Nevada prior to an assignment in Vietnam. Later he was a Liaison Officer in Belgium.
HONORS:
For his service in Vietnam he received a: Citation for meritorius service while serving with foreign forces engaged in armed conflick against the North Vietnamese, in the Republic of Vietnam. While serving as Engineering Advisor at Operations Base, Tan Chau, Chief Powell performed in an exemplary manner. He was directly responsible for instructing the Vietnamese in the maintenance of their Public Works plant, power generators and all systems handling fresh water and fuel. Chief Powell provided leadership, knowledge and encouragement necessary to accomplish every task.He was directly responsible for saving a sinking United States Navy Landing Craft and a Vietnamese Armored Troop Carrier by his rapid organization of pumping teams and his supervision of effective damage control procedures. His prompt actions were instrumental in the recovery of a United States Army helicopter when it crashed near the base in March 1971.
Chief Powell's exemplary professionalism and devotion to duty were in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service.
Bronze Star Medal ("with Combat") to Chief Engineman David O. Powell, United States Navy, for Meritorious Service from January to December 1971.
HONORS:
From the "San Diego Navy Dispatch," 3 Feb 1978: Two A-6 Intruder aircraft from the USS Enterprise made bombing runs on the USS Cree, 18 Jan 1978, some 80 miles from San Diego, CA. The Cree had towed a ship to be used for bombing practice to a designated area and had taken up station some eight miles away to take the hulk back in tow if she was not sunk during the bomb drops. Investigations were held to determine how the USS Cree was mistaken for the target and subsequent damages inflicted when the first of the two plane attack force dropped three 500-pound bombs on the fleet tug.Lt. Merrow, cited actions of Chief Warrant David Powell, the ship's engineering officer and the man in charge of damage control as one of the individuals most responsible for saving the ship.
Powell said, "I heard the jet and within split seconds, the grinding metal and vibrations as the ship heeled sharply to one side. Paint flew off the bulkheads. I could hear glass crashing and a thousand other sounds that are part of a disaster. Without thinking, I knew we'd been hit. My first concern was fire. I ran aft, yelling General Quarters, as I went, and started breaking out life jackets and emergency gear, when I reached my station." Powell said, "Two portable pumps were rigged in the immediate period following the damage assessments that included shipping of water through hull seams that had been split by the second bomb's detonation under the ship. It had become necessary to finally man-handle a six-inch salvage pump from the hold, an incredible feat." He said, "The pump weighed 2, 165 pounds and normally requires the ships boom to lift it on deck. Somehow those men displayed the strength, using a block and tackle with light nylon line to lift that pump on deck and get it into operation." "This saved the ship, of course," said CWO Barrs. There are stories of bravery, leadership and individual courage, in the work of what could have been a disastrous finish for the USS Cree.
Navy Commendation Medal to Chief Warrant Officer, David O. Powell, United States Navy, for Metritorious Service on 18 Jan 1978, given this day, 3 Oct 1978.
