Charles Linck was born at home on June 6, 1923, near Potter, Kansas. His parents ran a farm that they inherited from Charles’s grandfather. After four years on the farm, it was foreclosed upon and the family was forced to move to Oregon and Washington. There, Charles’s parents picked crops and did ranch work. Later, Linck’s family moved to Phoenix, Arizona where his family bought a plot of land in the desert six miles outside of town. In Phoenix, his father did some labor and carpentry until he became a cement contractor. Unfortunately, his father’s cement contracting business went under due to the poor economy, so the family traveled back to Kansas and stayed with Charles’s grandparents until they bought another farm near Heron, Kansas. The farm was hit hard by drought, so Linck’s father bought a Baldwin Combine and for two years went around cutting wheat for hire. Next, the family moved to Wamego, Kansas where his parents opened up a grocery store, but they were forced to sell the store due to the poor economy and the lack of experience his parents had in running a store. Soon after, the family moved to Linck’s grandfather’s farm that his Uncle Leo had taken over. Charles’ father and Leo became partners in running the farm, but they did not get along very well. This caused the family to move once again to Oregon. Charles’s father bought a little herb farm in Salem, Oregon. While Charles farmed and sold vegetables, his father worked as a carpenter in town. Eventually, the family moved back to Kansas where Charles and his father repaired houses, shucked corn, and cut wheat. On December 7, 1941, Charles heard the news of Pearl Harbor from his parents after they returned to the farm from town. He and his family received more details the next day when they read about the attack in the Atchison Daily Globe. After Pearl Harbor, Charles went to work at a foundry for two years. Upon turning twenty, he quit his job at the foundry and received a draft notice the next day. Linck reported to Leavenworth, Kansas and joined the Navy. After two weeks of boot camp at Treasure Island, he was transferred to the Harbor Entrance Control Post at Fort Scott, San Francisco, where he worked in the underground radio station. He remained there for about a year while he learned to translate Morse code. He was then transferred to Terminal Island near Los Angeles County. Finally, Charles sailed to Hollandia, New Guinea with his ship where he copied radio messages from Australia as the boat radioman. Charles and his convoy then traveled up to Okinawa, Japan. Linck described how kamikazes came out of nowhere and hit ships in the convoy. Once, Charles and his ship traveled to Kerama Retto to supply power to a Red Cross ship that had been hit by a kamikaze. Linck’s ship traveled back and forth from the states to Japan. After being discharged, Charles traveled back home to Kansas. He enrolled at St. Benedict’s College in Atchison, Kansas. Linck struggled in school, and he intended to reenlist into the navy, but after a series of events, Linck decided not to reenlist and instead he went on to earn his bachelor’s degree magna cum laude, his master’s, and his Ph. D. Charles married Ernestine in 1970. Together, Ernestine and Charles owned and operated Cow Hill Press in Commerce, Texas. They also thoroughly enjoyed studying Southwest Indian culture, and together spent time on Indian reservations studying. Linck was an English professor at East Texas State College* where he taught for thirty one years and retired in 1991. Summary contributed by: Kaylin Taylor
