He was a father of fifteen children. He started the first gun club on the reservation with his sons where they would manufacture pistols, muskets, and rifles in response to a native people's gun ban at the time. During his service duty he was stationed throughout the South Pacific. Richard was an accomplished deer hunter.
Richard A. Linton "Shot"
U.S. Army
​
Richard “Shot” was a dedicated family man who also was active and valued within his Tribal community. He retired after years of service with the San Diego County Water Authority. Shot spent many years as a coach both teaching the sports he loved and mentoring young athletes across generations. He is loved by his wife, child, and grandchildren and will continue to be honored and remembered for the valued time he spent with his community and family.
Albert B. Linton
U.S. Army
​
Albert, “Bugs” was a loving husband and father of two. He retired after over 35 years working for AT&T. Education was important to him and his family now carries that dream with a scholarship to further native learning, The Albert Benjamin Linton Foundation.
