PAID POLITICAL ADVERTISMENT<br />

SAN DIMAS — The cabin in<br />

the meadow - with a "musky<br />

smell" emanating from old logs<br />

and a sod floor -- linger in David<br />

Lemon's memory.<br />

He had come in the mid-1950s<br />

to this place in Utah's Uinta<br />

Mountains with his parents and<br />

grandparents to visit the girlhood<br />

home of his grandmother Hilde.<br />

"She took me to a small window<br />

and pointed to the line of<br />

the forest on the edge of the<br />

meadow," Lemon recalls. "She<br />

started to tell me about how the<br />

Ute Indian hunting parties used<br />

to walk past the cabin - how<br />

they would come to the door and<br />

ask for food. They always gave<br />

them food."<br />

It is this memory, Lemon<br />

says, -- along with the Western<br />

movies of the period - that<br />

sparked his interest in the Old<br />

West and ultimately his passion<br />

for Western art. <strong>To</strong>day, his<br />

sculpture appears in galleries and<br />

private collections throughout<br />

the United States, Canada, Europe<br />

and the Far East. Viewers<br />

can marvel at his mastery at the<br />

30th annual <strong>San</strong> Dimas Festival<br />

of Arts Western Art Exhibition<br />

and Sale April 28-30 when he will<br />

be honored as the festival's Special<br />

Exhibiting Artist. He will discuss<br />

his work at a seminar set<br />

Saturday, April 29 at 10:30 a.m.<br />

in <strong>San</strong> Dimas City Council<br />

Chambers.<br />

There is a reason, he says,<br />

why he chose sculpture as his<br />

medium. "In high school ceramics<br />

class, when I couldn't throw<br />

a pot to save my neck, my<br />

teacher suggested I try sculpting<br />

the clay. I won three scholarships<br />

for the five pieces I<br />

sculpted that year."<br />

Lemon didn't take the scholarships.<br />

The year was 1965,<br />

war was raging in Vietnam and<br />

he joined the Navy instead.<br />

It wasn't until 1977 -- when<br />

he created a clay likeness of Buffalo<br />

Bill, entered in the Utah State<br />

Fair, the piece took first place.<br />

"I was set on the road that I'm<br />

going down today because of<br />

that. I gained the confidence I<br />

needed to go out into the competitive<br />

world of art.<br />

Lemon, a member of the<br />

American Indian and Cowboy<br />

Artists, recalled how the group<br />

played a significant role in the<br />

<strong>San</strong> Dimas Festival's beginnings<br />

as well as his growth as an artist.<br />

He remembers a year when<br />

he took actor Iron Eyes Cody on<br />

a tour of the gallery.<br />

"When I came to a bronze of<br />

mine, he began to sing an Indian<br />

song. My eyes teared up, people<br />

stopped in their tracks - all just<br />

stood there listening to his incredible<br />

voice...".<br />

which is the replacement of missing<br />

teeth. We also evaluate and emphasize<br />

all other aspects of dental health including<br />

periodontal, cosmetic, occlusal/<br />

TMJ, orthodontic, and restorative. Our<br />
