The low reverberating rumble of street bikes, show bikes, and custom bikes could be heard all across town, mingling with the sounds of regular traffic and the ocean surf. The band Crossroads cranked out classic rock on a raised platform at the south end of the casino throughout the weekend. It also provided music one night for a free concert and dance in the convention center for those not attending the Steppenwolf concert. There wasn’t a dry eye at the rededication of the Veteran’s Memorial. The ceremony opened with Siletz Tribal veterans and members of the Siletz VFW, who comprised an Honor Guard that marched through the fog in single file. The only sound came from the bells worn by Geronimo Warren as he led the procession carrying the eagle staff. Tribal member Dan Lundy offered an opening prayer, followed by a song from Bud Lane, who accompanied himself on a hand drum. Marketing Director Don Kennedy welcomed everyone to the rededication and Chuck, a member of the Oregon Veteran’s Motorcycle Association, said a few words of remembrance for those who have gone before. Everyone was delighted that tribal member Dub Bellinger offered a few words and played a recorded song to honor his fallen brothers. The solemn, dignified, and emotional ceremony touched the hearts of us all. ., 0ctpber 2002. □, .Siletz News iPt • .V*»’ •. »- V t-G* r •, 4 - □ 23 ?-
