Later on when the YMCA was organised here, he be came a Charter Member and un doubtedly would have continued to enjoy an active part and a keen interest in its program. He looked forward eagerly to the time when there would be a complete YMCA program in Wyandotte. Therefore, we felt that we would like to estab lish a living memorial in the YMCA, dedicated to the youth of the community.” By action of the Committee of Management and with the appro val of Mr. and Mrs. Locker, it was decided to use this Memorial Fund for furnishings and equipment for a craft shop in the YMCA building, The basement of the present build ing will be used temporarily as a craft shop and tools and equipment will be purchased from the Mem orial Fund. Then, when anew YMCA building is erected on this property, the tools and equipment can be moved into the larger craft rooms that will be in the new build ing so that the craft shop in the YMCA will be a permanent project growing out of the Dean Locker Memorial Fund. This Memorial Fund has already received other contributions. A group of neighbors and other friends of the Locker family who knew their son, Dean, most of his life, contributed a substantial sum to the Fund as a token of their friendship for Dean and his par ents. The Phalanx Young Men’s Group of the local YMCA, through their adult advisor, John C. Kre ger, contributed to the fund in memory of Dean because he was an active member of this young men’s group before going into military service. The Service Snooper group, the young people’s group of the YMCA, at a recent meeting voted an appropriation of their funds to add to the Memorial Fund.
