Readers fill in details on David Janssen photo

Thanks to everyone who shared information about the snapshot we published Dec. 4.
Folks responsible for a David Janssen Web site wondered who was shown in the 1979 photograph. They thought is was taken at an Everett restaurant.

Janssen was staying in Smokey Point while filming a TV movie called “High Ice,” which was being shot in Darrington. The actor was perhaps best known for his role as Dr. Richard Kimble in “The Fugitive.”

Turns out the picture was taken at Smokey Point Pharmacy, which is no longer there. Craig Emery, who lives in Marysville, was a pharmacist at the store and helped with identifications.
Patti Breneman Olson is on the far left of the snapshot, Rachel Rock DeBellis is next, then Janssen, and on the right is Kathy Brophy Schnell and Jean Brown Atencio.

Olson, who now works at Frontier Bank, was a bookkeeper at the store. She says the actor was shopping for personal items.

“We knew who he was,” she says. “We asked for a picture with him.”

Schnell, who lives in Snohomish, says she worked in the store gift department. The film crew was very nice, she says, and took them to Darrington to see the filming hubbub.

One anonymous caller says Janssen was quite the rogue at Pier 206, the nightclub hot spot back then at Smokey Point. She says he autographed $20 bills for all the ladies, and included the number of his room at a Smokey Point hotel.

Norman Story in Everett added a tidbit. He was born in the same town as Janssen— Naponee, Neb.

Shoppers don’t have to buy cases of ramen, bottles of water or rice to donate to the food drive at Everett Cost Cutter 10011 Evergreen Way in Everett or at Arlington Food Pavilion 146 E. Haller Ave. in Arlington.

The stores have coupons for $1, $3 and $5 at check stands. Customers may add a tax-deductible coupon to their grocery order, with donations going to the Salt of the Earth Food Bank, Arlington Food Bank and Oso Food Bank.

Folks don’t have to pick up extra items, says Sue Cole, spokeswoman for The Markets, LLC.

“We have seen that customers find it simple to just add this to their grocery total at check-out without having to remember to pick up an extra item or two to drop in a food bank bin,” Cole says. “We have found through the years that people are very generous, and the holiday season is an especially good time to highlight the needs of local food banks.”
