Two retirements were noted. Dr. Ross Earlywine, Everett dentist for 50 years, had retired. He and wife were moving to Laguna Beach, California. E.W. “Al” Ramstad was leaving his position as chief personal property appraiser in the county assessor’s office. He was served his farewell cake by Lois Miller.
Like many teachers, Barbara Ratcliff was going back to work. Unlike most teachers, she was on her way to teach English in an elementary school in Hargesa, Somalia. She was leaving next week to join 57 Peace Corps volunteers who would work two years in the African country.

Herald writer Diane Wright wrote about the fifth annual Kla-How-Ya Days Celebration and Pow-Wow, a festival competition in traditional drumming, dancing and dress at the Tulalip Indian Reservation. There was also a salmon barbecue, food vendors, a softball tournament and arts and crafts.
The Evergreen State Fair had plenty of distractions, but all ears turned toward the Boeing Chautauqua stage when Sanda Daiko was there. When this Japanese drum ensemble began, it overrode carnival music, announcements and even stock car racing.
