Campos will be paid for by part of the allowances of young Mark and David Huey who never heard of the soldier until his death. Each week for two years, Mark, 11, and David, 12, have "put some of their money in a little jar we call 'Richard's Flower "their mother, Mrs. Lucian C. Huey, said. Then early in the morning of each Memorial Day, Veterans Day, the soldier's birthday anniversary and the anniversary of his death in Vietnam, a floral company in San Bruno, puts a wreath on the grave in Golden Gate National Cemetery in San Francisco.

The bill goes to Mr. and Mrs. Huey of Birmingham. "I usually have to add something to the boys' money to pay the bill," Mrs. Huey said.

Mr. and Mrs. Huey unofficially adopted Campos in 1967 after reading mat his body lay unclaimed for two weeks in Oakland Army Terminal in late 1966. Campos was reared as an orphan and was a ward of the court when he enlisted in the Army at age 17.

They tried to adopt him posthumously so "he would have a family to remember him." But they found this was legally impossible. Mark said at the time: "If no one else wants him, he can be a member of our family." Huey, a machine company superintendent, and his wife have made entries in the family Bible making Campos a member of their family. They sponsor a flag in his honor in the Avenue of Flags in nearby Irondale. Mrs. Huey said: "Both of our sons are adopted, and they know what it means to belong and to be loved." When accounts of the Hueys' plan for flowers appeared in West Coast newspapers, she said, several people in California sent pictures of the grave to her and wrote that they were putting flowers there also.

And others sent her maps of the city and the cemetery pointing out where the grave is located. Mrs. Morale DeSa of San Leandro, whose husband is in the Canal Zone with the Army, places flowers at the grave periodically and corresponds with the Hueys. Mother Gets Her High School Diploma By MARILYN HAGERTY Grand Forks Herald CAVALIER, N.D. (AP) Collen Lesher received her Cavalier High School diploma in 1965, Douglas Lesher his in 1966, and Dorina Lesher got one Wednesday night.

And Dorina, 43-year-old mother of Colleen and Douglas, is elated. "This diploma is mine. I worked for it and wouldn't give it up for anything. I can go on and do anything," Mrs. Lesher said Wednesday.

Mrs. Lesher, whose husband, Lyle, operates a meat packing business near here, returned to school in the fall of 1967. This spring she completed the 17 credits necessary for her diploma. "If I can brag a little," said daughter Colleen, "I will tell" you mother is fifth in her class of 64." The whole Lesher family clan gathered at Lyle and Dorina's Wednesday night after the graduation ceremonies. Mrs.

Lesher said she was proud that her family came to her commencement. "Anyone can go back and finish high school. It's there waiting at your own high school and it doesn't cost much," she said. She explained that she didn't finish when she was in her teens because "it was one of those cases of a large family, no money." As a graduation present, Mrs. Lesher received a piano from her husband and has been hired by the Cavalier bank.

She says she now will take a correspondence course in accounting from the University of N'orth Dakota. Asked how it felt to go back to school, Mrs. Lesher replied: "I was nervous when I first "went back, but the kids were friendly. Just tops. They never made me feel I was somebody's grandmother.
