Clint – I enjoyed your information on the directional arrow located above Lake Point. It is always nice to have you searching things out in my part of the vallet. Leonard Garrard says that Les Bolinder was involved with the siting and construcion of the aviation beacon. He was an aviation leader in this area, hence, the Erda Airport is named after him. There are still family members living in the county you could contact for more information about Uncle Les.
Thanks
Colleen

Wow! Thanks for the lead, Colleen. I wonder if Les Bolinder helped with any of the other beacons in the county.
