Appleton, Minnesota is the only city in the world to have all of its streets and avenues named after its fallen veterans. With the help of Appleton businesses and referencing the book Home of Honored Veterans, Tidbits of the Lake Area would like to introduce you to one of these Honored Soldiers each week.

Q: I have several Pez dispensers in the "Peanuts" series, including Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Snoopy as "Joe Cool"

PezDispensers

and Lucy (the one known as "Psycho Lucy"). These keep knocking around in my sock drawer, and I need to make a decision whether to sell or toss them. -- Billy, Fenton, Mo.

A: I found all of your dispensers in "The Collector's Guide to Pez: Identification and Price Guide" by Shawn Peterson. According to Peterson, values are as follows: Charlie Brown ($1-$20, depending on version), Snoopy and Snoopy as "Joe Cool" ($1-$3), and Psycho Lucy ($75-$90. If you have the Charlie Brown with eyes closed, which was not produced in the U.S., you have a dispenser worth about $50.

• • •Q: I have a paperback of "Some Like It Hot," based on

the Billy Wilder film from 1959. It has a little wear but the cover picture is still bright and the content is complete. -- Art, Morro Bay, Calif.

A: Your Signet paperback is valued in the $25-$175 range depending on condition. Other movie-related paperbacks include "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof," ($10-$90), "Elmer Gantry" ($2-$35) and Elvis' "Flaming Star" ($5-$90). As you can see, condition is extremely important in determining how much a paperback is worth in today's market.

• • •Q: I have a luncheon plate commemorating the Corona-

tion of King Edward VIII in May 1937. I purchased it for $35 at a flea market. Was I fleeced? -- Susan, Naperville, Ill.

A: Since you didn't identify the maker, I can only give you a general idea of its value. I have seen similar items in shops priced in the $25 to $45 range, depending on design and condition.

Ronald Joe Larson was born in Appleton on July 17, 1950, the son of Anver and Frances Larson. At about the age of 2, Ronald’s family moved to Minneapolis where he attended school

and graduated from Roosevelt High School in 1968. He attended the University of Minnesota for one year and then enlisted in the United States Army in October 1969, graduating as an honor graduate from the engineering school in Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. Ron went to Vietnam August 5, 1970. While there he worked with a construction engineering unit repairing roads and bridges. He drove a “290.” On May 2, 1971, Ron was by DaNang, Vietnam repairing a road culvert when a booby trap was detonated. He was killed instantly along with four other soldiers. Prior to his death he had received the National Defense Service Medal, Vietnam Service Medal, Republic of Vietnam Campaign Medal and the Marksman Badge with rifle Bar. His parents received the Bronze Star and Purple Heart awarded posthumously to their son in a special ceremony at Fort Riley, Kansas. Military rites were conducted on Tuesday, May 11, 1971. Military escort was provided by Lieutenant Jon Naujkos of Minneapolis and Sergeant Pulley, stationed in Oakland, California. Military honors were also conducted by rifle and color guard from Fort Riley, Kansas, the Appleton American Legion Post 72 and VFW Post 4955. Interment took place in the Appleton Cemetery. He is survived by his parents, Anver and Frances Larson; brother Anver M. Larson Jr.; sister Judy (and Paul) Crosby; and a number of nieces and nephews. Larson Street is located on the northwest edge of Appleton, in the Duncan Addition.
