The story of Art Gruber, a survivor of Pearl Harbor, will be told by Cindy Standridge on Sun., Dec. 10 at 2:00 p.m. in the Pikes Peaks School Museum, according to Thelma Love.
This is more than a story. It is a memory of her father who served in the Navy when Pearl Harbor was attacked in 1941.
Art Gruber was growing up in Hoisington, Kansas as a 16 year old with a strong patriotic burning desire to join the military like his brother, Glen, who was a Navy man.
So he enlisted in December of his Sophomore year in high school and off he went. Honolulu was the home port of the USS Tennessee and he was there about 9 months before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.
Cindy Standridge, a longtime resident and business woman, of Lindsay tells the story of her beloved father well. People need to hear the stories of the heroes of those days. Art Gruber was one of those heroes and his story is worth hearing.
This coming Sunday afternoon is the opportunity for the communities of Garvin County and other areas to hear this intriguing story.
Storytelling is a monthly event of the Lindsay Community Historical Society.
Those interested in sharing their story may contact LCHS by calling 405-919-6146. The Pikes Peak School Museum is located in Erin Springs across from the Murray Lindsay Mansion at 13031 N.C.R. 3025.
