Editor's note: This is part of a series of interviews with World War II veterans.The articles will continue in each day's edition through Saturday's World War II Memorial Dedication and Recognition Day. As they had for 140 years, Indiana National Guardsmen prepared to go to war in 1941, mustering in response to a Presidential Executive Order, Jan.29.The 152nd Infantry gathered at the Warsaw Armory. Two members of that regiment, Wallace Huffman of Leesburg and Howard Haab of Milford, and the widow of another member, Mrs.Katie Kirkendall (wife of Fred) of Warsaw, talked about the days with the 38th (Cyclone) Division and Company L of the 152nd. They were led by two World War I veterans, Capt.Milo Snyder and Sgt.Ralph Litchenwalter; both were prepared to go another round. Huffman and Haab, both 86 now, left the processing in Fort Wayne in 1941 and headed for Camp Shelby, Miss., in April.

Local residents take footin' to the extreme
What, exactly, would tempt someone to arise at 5:30 a.m., (that's when the water is flat) grab onto a 75-foot length of kevlar-reinforced rope, (kevlar doesn't stretch) jump into the lake wearing nothing but a wet suit and yell, "Hit it!?" The answer? Barefoot water skiing. On any given calm morning on Tippecanoe Lake one might find Bob Ragland, a captain with American Airlines, exhibiting his idea of recreation. He has become quite adept at deepwater front and back starts, one-foot fronts and backs and other advanced footin' techniques. He has attended barefoot school in Florida with the legendary world champion, Ron Scarpa. But really, why do this - at around 40 mph? Ragland offers, "It's unique. Not everbody does it. I remember when I was a kid and saw somebody footin' and thought, 'That's cool!'" Photo by Gary Nieter, Times-Union
