Smart from Truckee, California.

  Reg was born in Winnipeg, Canada in 1916. After immigrating to the 
United States and earning his U.S. citizenship, Reg enlisted in the 
U.S. Army and served his country during WWII working for Pan American 
Airlines facilitating the movement of U.S. troops and officials. He 
moved to Truckee in 1947 with his wife, and opened his own business, 
the Good Fellows Grotto. Over the next 63 years, Reg was a prominent 
member of the Truckee community: opening a second business, serving on 
the school board and in numerous community organizations, including 
being the oldest living Mason in Truckee Lodge No. 200.
  Reg Smart's life was a true American story of an immigrant who loved 
and served his adopted country and was devoted to his family and 
community. Through his hard work and tireless dedication, he achieved a 
better life for himself, and undoubtedly improved the lives of everyone 
fortunate enough to know him.
