Seems Like Yesterday
50 YEARS AGO (1960)
Leslie King, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John King of 1112 Colby Ave., was spending 10 weeks working with research scientists learning the techniques of basic research at the Roscoe B. Jackson Memorial Laboratory in Bar Harbor, Maine.
Authorization for a new post office at Lake Stevens was announced by the U.S. Postmaster General, according to word received from Congressman Jack Westland. Lake Stevens Postmaster Gordon Rux said it would be four times bigger than the existing post office built a block away 13 years ago. He said the present office had been overtaxed with the recent growth in the area.
25 YEARS AGO (1985)
Terry Williams, fisheries director of Tulalip Tribes, was appointed to the Puget Sound Water Quality Authority by Gov. Booth Gardner. The agency was to identify critical areas of Puget Sound to determine cleanup and restoration possibilities and to prepare a water quality plan.
Scott Wilson, Samantha Watson and Shari Foster, all of Everett and members of the Snohomish French Creek Pathfinder Club, participated in a North American Pathfinder Camporee at Leadville, Colo. Pathfinder clubs were sponsored by the Seventh-day Adventist Church.
