Library takes on new look
By CARRIE WAIT
This year when you go 10 find
something in the library, it will
probably be a lot easier because
now “everything islocated in its
own place,” according to Mrs.
Jane Einmenegger, director of
library services. Remodeling of
the Peninsula College library,
which began last February and
is now complete, added
approximately 5,000 square feet
of floor space and a while new
look to itsinterior arrangement,
as well as new services.
“Everything was all jumbled
up before,” commented Mrs.
Emmenegger asshe pointed out
the new floor arrangement
made possible by the
construction. Previously a lack
of space meant various sendees
had to be squeezed together
within a limited area. With the
addition of a new west wing,
plus rearrangement of facilities
in the main building, the library
has taken on a new look of
spaciousness.
From the long circulation
desk just inside the new south
entrance, every section of the
library is visible. A librarian
may easily direct a person from
this central location to any
particular area or room.
Only small tables and low
shelves dividing the different
resource areas now cover the
floor space of what once was
almost the entire library. Thus
from the entrance, one is able to
scan the perimeter for the
various library services. The
book shelves, which once stood
in the middle ofthis large room,
are now located in what used to
be the audio-visualsection.
“We moved about 39,000
books in two days,” said Mrs.
Emmenegger.
Three new rooms for special
services were created in the
southeast corner of the library.
A typing room, located to the
left of the book stacks, will
eliminate noise from the career
and forestry rooms where the
typewriters shared a home last
year. To the other side of a
small reading lounge, where
smoking is permitted, are two
new conference rooms.
Each of these rooms,
primarily for use by small
special classes, boasts a 19-inch
color television set, a bulletin
board and a chalk board. Two
full walls of cabinets in one of
the rooms will make it
particularly suitable for science
students who need laboratory
space for extra study.
A librarian’s assistance will
no longer be required when
seeking articles from old
magazines. The periodical
room has been enlarged to allow
people to select their own
materials from open shelves in
which the magazines are hung
rather than stacked
The new west wing on the
oldv of the circulation
desk is almost entirely devoted
to individual study carrels,
except for foursmallroomsjust
behind the desk, that are
primarily used for the work of
the library staff to store and
process books, as well as an
audio-visual control room and a
preview room for films.
All 24 of the new study carrels
next to the audio-visual rooms
are provided with individuallyoperated listening-viewing
equipment. Although not all of
the equipment has been
connected yet, it will soon allow
a student to select any type or
combination of audio-visual
resource material available,
even a 13-inch color television
set.
For a quiet out-of-the-way
spot to study, a popular place
will probably be the new
mezzanine directly above the
circulation desk and audiovisual stations. Good lighting
and many individual study
carrels are provided up and
away from the general traffic of
the resource areas.
When classes began this
quarter, the library staff had
not finished reorganizing some
periodicals and other materials
but they will soon have
everything operating and back
in order.
PC’s first daycare in need of applicants
Day care is a reality. The
center, located at Sixth and
Laurel, is open from 7:30 a.m.
to noon. The cost is about 60
cents an hour. Applications and
information are available in the
student services building or
from director-teacher Susan
Lynch.
The center will provide a
healthy and educational
environment for normal
childhood development. There
are many different areas for
learning at the center; block
building and construction,
housekeeping, social and
dramatic play, arts and crafts,
manipulative and cognitive
games, large motor
development, and other
activities to extend the child’s
knowledge of the natural world.
Ms. Lynch received her M.
Ed. degree from Erikson
Institute for Early Childhood
Education. Along with her
degree she has many jobrelated experiences that should
help her to provide the center
with all it will need in its early
years.
Ms. Lynch also hasthe help of
two students, Valle Pederson
and Ann Colten.
As of now enrollment has
been small. “As soon as people
see the kind of care we can give
their children, and the word
spreads around, I feel that
enrollment will increase,” she
says.
Ms. Lynch says it is
important for people to realize
“that the center is much more
than a place to drop children; it
is an enriched environment for
the development of the child; it
provides different learning
experiences for the child to
learn.”
PC construction complete soon
The latest construction and
remodeling project at
Peninsula College is nearly
complete.
Construction work, which
began in late May 1976, involved
the vocational-technical
complex and the maintenance
and utility building.
Included in the remodeling
work were the library, autodiesel shop, Student Union
building and student service
offices.
The rebuilding and additions
included a new audio-visual
section and study area in the
library; consolidation of the
student service offices into one
section, making use of the
offices more convenient and
less time-consuming; enlargement of the cafeteria in
the Student Union building (the
lunchroom can now
accommodate up to 125
persons); and new work and
storage facilities in the autodieselshop.
The “Vo-Tech” complex,
located south of the fisheries
building, houses classrooms for
the study of nursing and
engineering. The new
maintenance building, which
not only houses a shipping and
receiving area (complete with
loading dock) but a vehicle
service and storage area as
well, is located at the northeast
edge of the campus.
DelGuzzi Construction Co. of
Port Angeles handled the work
of all areas but the maintenance
facility. The project, which cost
nearly $680,000, was paid for by
state funds. The $265,927 price
tag on the maintenance
complex was paid by local fees,
such as student registration
fees which have been
accumulating forseveral years.
Construction on that part of the
project was handled by Gordon
Corsmo Construction of
Tacoma.
Peninsula College, which now
includes 16 buildings, has been
gradually enlarging since itwas
first opened at the present site
in 1965. At that time the campus
included only six buildings.
BOC needs committee members
Making the existing college
committees active is the
present major objective of the
Board of Control, according to
ASB presidentRon Allen.
The BOC hopes to have all
committee positions filled by
Oct. 22.
“We’re looking for new input
from freshmen, and to get
students to become aware,
involved and to bring up
possible changes,” Allen said.
Unfilled committees are
public services, student personal services, publications,
activities council, review and
tenure. Interested persons can
obtain forms for committees
from Mr. Lunt or see one of the
ASB officers.
On Aug. 19 the bylaws of the
constitution were altered,
according to ASB secretarytreasurer Tanya Thorpe. The
budget committee now includes
old and new officers, instead of
including only officers of the
past. This allows for new ideas,
she said.
The BOC also plans to keep an
eye on the day care program to
see if it’s working, according to
Miss Thorpe.
Interested persons are
welcome to attend BOC
meetings held the first and third
Tuesday of each month at noon
WSU rep here
A representative from
Washington State University
will be at Peninsula College on
Thursday, Oct. 14, to give
information to students
interested in transferring there.
The representative will be on
campus from 8:30 to 10 a.m. and
from Ito 2 p.m.
Editorial
Keeping an eye out
Last spring the Board of Control, Peninsula’s
associated student government, added three new
items to its existing budget of student body activities.
The BOC budgeted Vocational Industrial Clubs of
America (VICA) $500 to reduce travel costs for
members attending state leadership activities. The
second new activity, a musical theater production,
was budgeted $750 out of student body funds. Finally,
the BOC budgeted $2,666 for the new Peninsula College
day care center.
The granting of money for those three activities
showed a step in the right direction by the BOC, a real
plus. However, because they are new programs, they
should be followed closely enough for the student body
to have a clear picture of how a chunk of its money is
spent.
Mrs. Bonnie Graves says her plans for a musical
will of course hinge on student interest, but already
the prospects are good. She hopes to create
enthusiasm by doing such a production, not only for
music students but for the entire school. We would also
like to see it as “something to build on,” as Mrs.
Graves put it.
As of now, the number of children enrolled in the
Peninsula day care center at the First Baptist Church
is still considerably below the projected amount for
this quarter. Mrs. Frances Prindle, administrative
consultant to the day care facility, thinks the trend is
entirely normal for a center just beginning. She says
as soon as word spreads that this is quality day care,
that will be one reason for parents to trust the center
with their children.
The new day care center is well subsidized from
many sources besides the BOC, including several
personal donations. Mrs. Prindle does admit that good
day care is expensive.
In retrospect, we see a progress .report on all new
activities as a tool if nothing else. . .a tool with which
to follow the activity’s performance and to determine
whether or not it’s a worthwhile program to keep.

A look at the artists
Stills-young album could be better
By JEFF KENDALL
The reuniting of Stephen Stills
and Neil Young to record an album is something many of us
have eagerly awaited. Later,
when the word got out that they
were not only working on a
album but had also invited
David Crosby and Graham
Nash to join in, hopes were high
for that long-awaited third
CSNY album. But, alas it was
not to be and in the end none of
the vocals with Crosby and
Nash were used.
It was disappointing it didn’t
turn out, yet Graham’s
comment in Rolling Stone was
“We probably came closer this
last time than we’ve ever come
before.” He was also hurt that
Stills and Young didn’t use any
of the vocals they recorded. Still
no one turned down the idea of a
future reunion.
Stephen Stills said, “This
Stills-Young album. . .1 don’t
know, we just had to do it
ourselves this time.” Well if we
didn’t get a CSNY album at
least the public got a StillsYoung album.
With all of this in mind I
eagerly tore the wrapper from
my newly acquired record titled
“Stills-Young,” fired up the
stereo and awaited for the
sounds ofside one. There was no
need to look at the credits to
know who had written the first
song, “Long May You Run.” It
was Neil Young at his best. Neil
Young fans will love it.
The same could be said about
cut two, “Make Love To You,”
by Stephen Stills. It’s a pleasant
song with Young adding some
very nice organ work, but
essentially it’s a Stephen Stills
piece. It’s not until the track
“Black Coral” that a StillsYoung sound is actually heard.
Side one ends with “Ocean
Girl,” the fastest paced song on
that side. It is here that any
guitar work of any character is
heard. So ended side one.
Side two begins with another
Neil Young song, “Let It
Shine.” It sounded if it might
have been recorded one night
after a few beers and every one
was relaxed and having a good
time. Stills plays some nice
bottleneck guitar.
The next piece carries on in
the same vein. It contains some
good guitar from both Stills and
Young. The album finishes with
a couple of mild rockers,
“Fountainbleau” and
“Guardian Angel.” Side two is
much faster moving than the
slower more laid back style of
side one.
The overall album is good.
The songs are well written and
conceived, yet I was
disappointed. Where were the
guitar and vocal harmoniesthat
I expected? Expecially the
guitar; after all, Stills and
Young are two of the best. None
of the songs stopped me in my
tracks like some of their early
works did.
The album is good but as the
old cliche goes, “It could have
been better.”
Dr.Perry returns from exotic spots
Dr. Sherry Perry, psychology
instructor at Peninsula College,
is back on campus after a fourmonth, 19,000-mile trip to places
like Teotihuacan, Uxmal and
Chichen-Itza—not to mention
less exotic spots such as the
Washington Monument and
Gettysburg.
Along with her son Tommy, 8,
and newphew Steven Bowra,
P.C. student, she set out for
Mexico in a camper. Traveling
south through Oregon,
California and down the entire
Baja Peninsula, they ferried to
the mainland of Mexico to visit
ancient Aztec and Mayan ruins
scattered throughout Mexico
and Guatemala.
The highlight of their trip was
their tour of the Mayan ruins.
The sites at Tikal in Guatemala
proved the most exciting and
interesting.
“The Indians here are a quiet
and friendly people, with a rich
and colorful culture. They are
the most fascinating group we
saw anywhere,” said Dr. Perry.
Another favorite stop was 60
kilometers from the Palenque
ruins on the Yucatan Peninsula,
where they came across a lush
jungle area with colorful bjrds
and a deep blue cascading
river. “It was so beautiful I
didn’t even attempt to take a
picture,” Dr. Perry confesses.
Mexico is “terribly
expensive,” especially .the
tourist needs such as gas, ($1 a
gallon in most places),
restaurants, and motels. After
exploring the Yucatan
Peninsula, which was hot, they
decided to stay in a hotel for the
first time, and it cost $150 for
two days.
They lived in the swimming
pool for 48 hours, then drove
back into the States. “After
crossing into the United States,
the first thing we noticed was
clean water and McDonalds,”
said Dr. Perry.
The rest of the trip included
visits to southern plantations,
Washington, D.C., New York,
Philadelphia, and many other
important Bicentennialsites.
BUC staff returns home
The Buccaneer has moved
back to its old home in FA-25
and with it, this quarter’s 14-
member staff. Last year FA-25
was the faculty lounge and the
Buccaneer workroom was
located in B-12.
Returning from last year’s
Buccaneer staff are Lynn
Welch, editor; Terri Coombs,
makeup editor; Jon Olson,
photo and copy editor; and John
Nowak, reporter.
New staffers are Jenny
Christensen, Tim Merkel, Lori
Crumb, Doris Fourtner, Philip
Joseph, Jeff Johnson, Jeff
Kendall, John Smith, Carrie
Wait and Steve Bowra.
Several members of the staff
express interest in photography
and will undoubtedly serve
double duty as reporters-and
photographers.
Films to show this fall
Three films will be shown on
campus this fall, two this month
and the third the following
month.
The first film, “Buster and
Billie,” deals with the
emotional experience of
romantic love. Both horrifying
and humorous, itshows both the
comic and the tragic sides of
life.
The love story involves two
high school seniors whose love
obviously represents the
tenderness and warmth of the
way the younger generations
mingle with each other.
Clint Eastwood is star and
director of the next movie,
“Play Misty for Me.” This is a
story of suspense-filled
excitement in which a disc
jockey gets himself into great
trouble with a fan who keeps on
insisting that he “play ‘Misty’ ”
for her.
The third show for this
quarter is scheduled to be seen
on Nov. 10. “For Pete’s Sake,”
stars Barbra Streisand and is
directed by Peter Yates. In an
attempt to free her husband
from a gambling debt of which
he is unaware, the star
disguises herself and tries to
pass on a smuggled package to
a policeman who is also in
disguise. This is a movie full of chills and laughter.
Intramural events
This quarter’s intramural
sports as selected by
Intramural Director Jon
Livingston and IM Board
members are flag football,
table tennis, one-on-one
basketball, team basketball,
turkey trot and a billiards
tournament.
Last year Mr. Livingston and
a committee of four students
chose the sports and set the
policies governing them for this
year. More programs have been
added on every year and this
year is no exception.
Last year 450 students
participated in intramural
activities, and over 700 students
used sports equipment that the
college made available to them.
The first sport to get under
way is six-man flag football.
Final registration date was
Sept. 30. Rules for the game
were originally obtained from
WSU and are designed to curtail
injuries without affecting the
wide open style of the game. It
is a round robin type
tournament.
The next scheduled event is a
double elimination table tennis
tournament. Last date for
registration for this event is
Oct. 14. The rules of the game
are derived from the
International Table Tennis
Association’s rule book. The
rules are structured so that
someone with an excellent
serve does not have an unfair
advantage. There will be men’cand women’s singles, doubles,
andmixed doubles.
A new addition to intramurals
this year is one-on-one
basketball. It is a double
elimination tournament, the
game goes to 20 points, and
rules follow standard
procedures for the NBA-devised
game. Final registration date is
Oct. 19;
The fourth event of the
quarter isteam basketball. This
will be another round robin
tournament, with each game
lasting 20 minutes. Teams
consist offour players each, due
to the fact that two games are
played at once in the gym, and
five players makes it too
crowded. The game is designed
to test a team’s conditioning
and skill. Final registration is
priorto Nov. 12.
On Nov. 23 the annual turkey
trot will take place. The first
team of four to cross the finish
line will win a trophy and a 25-
P°und turkey. It is a two-mile
run. Entrants should register
before Nov. 22.
The last sporting event of the
quarter will be a double
elimination billiards
tournament, with registration
ending Dec. 1. Opponents will
play the best two out of three
games. Divisions will consist of
men and women’ssingles.
Another first this year is that
part time students can now
participate in intramural
sports. To do so they must sign
up with Mr. Livington in person.
The fee for part time studentsis
$2 per event or $4 per quarter.
Due to a policy change made
last year, all sex discriminatory
rules were dropped so that men
and women can participate
equally in all IM sports. Mr.
Livingston said last year there
was an all-girl basketball team,
and several of the other teams
had at least one female
member. He expects there
should be more participation
and interest in intramurals this
year than before, as all the IM
sports and services are free to
full time students.
Pirate Pete finds new home
Pirate Pete, the fierce
“cute” little pirate with
bows in his beard,
represented Peninsula College
since it began in 1961.
In that year a contest was
held to select a name for the
college team and a college
mascot. The winning entry was
submitted by Jack Hussey,
Pete’s creator. Since then the
team has been called the
Peninsula Pirates and the
irate figure has remained the
mascot. At that time the
school’s official colors, black
and gold, also were chosen.
Pete’s portraits are displayed
around the Peninsula campus,
including a giant one in the
gym. However he sometimes
isn’t remembered as he should
be. From now on he will have a
new home atop the sports page
of the Buccaneer. In this
manner he will become a friend
of more of the students he
represents.
IM equiptment program ready
This year, sports equipment
can -be checked out for use only
by full time students and
faculty. All equipment will be
checked out by the intramural
director during office hours
which are posted on his office
door.
Procedure is the same as last
year. An equipment card must
be filled out and the student
must leave his or her student
body card as security. Each
student or faculty member may
check out equipment for a
maximum of five days. Each
person is responsible for the
condition of the equipment
checked out.
A $2 non-returnable fee will be
charged for each piece of
camping equipment.
Additional information
concerning the proper
procedure for checking out
equipment or the equipment
available is in the Intramural
Handbook
Only 1 starter back for Pirates
By JOHN NOWAK
Basketball is here! ? Well not quite, but almost. Three days
a week, prospectsfor the ’76-77 Pirates play basketball in the
gym. As of now nothing is set. The team is merely a group1 of
individuals trying to sharpen skills by “gym-ratting” three
days a week. Last week I talked to coach Don Huston at one
of these informalsessions. He stressed the fact that as of now
things were indefinite.
Here are some of the likely candidates for this year’s
Pirates:
Returning from last year is Bob Thomson. Bob had a good
year lastseason and,we expect good things from him. As last
year’s only returning starter, we expect him to be a floor
leader and give the team direction.
Also returning from last year is Paul Beck. Paul played
sixth man and did a good job. Paul is a 6-3 forward. Also
returning is Rich Manning, a 5-9 guard. He played well at the
finish of last season, and should do well again.
New talent includes two sophomores who didn’t play last
year: Brian Baker, a finalist for intramural athlete of the
year; and Jim Foyston, who looked good last year in
intramural basketball.
Local high school talent from the area also looks good.
From Port Townsend comes Pat Powers, Sequim High gives
us Ron Sather, and Eric Stole hails from Forks High School.
All three were starters for their respective teams last year.
From far away come Bob Sande, and Rick Davis. Rob is a
6-2 guard from Bothell, while Rick is a 5-11 guard from St.
Helens.
And of course Lindsay Schultz is back asmanager.
When asked to make a prediction about this season, Coach
Don Huston said: “There have been three coaching changes
in the league this year, and in community college league
there are so many changes from year to year it is hard to
say.”
The major problem the team has to deal with is lack ,of
height. However, Coach Huston feels that the team can make
up for its lack of height with quickness, and with a little luck
and a lot of work 1976-77 will be a good year.
Volleyball team to open tonight
The Peninsula College varsity
women’s volleyball team will
play its first game of the season
tonight at 7 in the PC gym, with
Shoreline varsity women’s
team.
Coach Kathy Murphy
predicted the women would do
“better than last year.” She
attributed her optimism to two
returning players, Kim Borde
and Barb Ross, and to the
experience some of the women
bring from playing on high
school teams.
Experience is valuable to the
team, especially since the
official type of game, called
“power volleyball,” played in
inter-school competition, is
quite different from the
variation of recreational
volleyball with which most
people are familiar, she says.
Ms. Murphy urged the student
body to support the volleyball
team. She especially hopes
there will be a good turnout
tonight to attend what could be
the first victory.
“We have 12 players ready to
go; but we can use more.
Anyone interested should see
me as soon as possible,” Ms.
Murphy says.
Election scheduled for class reps
Elections will be held next
Friday for freshman and
sophomore representatives,
following petition week, Oct. 4-8
and campaign week, Oct. 10-15.
Students can obtain a petition
sheet from Mr. Lunt, director of
student activities, or Scott
Kenyon, ASB vice president.
Petitions must be turned in by
Oct. 14.
A rade point average of 2.0 in
high school is required of
students running for freshmen
representative. Sophomores are
required to have 40 credits and
a 2.0 g.p.a. All petitions must
have 35 signatures from the
respective classes.
Representatives have a vote
on all functions of the Board of
Control and are a member or
head of any committee that ASB
president Ron Allen chooses
them for, according to Scott
Kenyon.
“Over the past few years,
there has been little dormitory
representation, so one
representative will be brought
back this year, which means
changing the constitution,”
according to Kenyon.
“In order to change the
present constitution, changes
have to be posted two weeks
prior to he election and must be
passed by two-thirds majority of the voting student body. If
passed, the dorm students will
choose a representative during
the following week,” Kenyon
said.
The Board of Control consists
of ASB president Allen, vice
president Kenyon, ASB
secretary-treasurer Tanya
Thorpe, three freshman
representatives, three
sophomore representatives and
possibly one dormitory
representative.
The group meets the first and
third Tuesday at noon of every
month in the board room, and
anyone is welcome to attend.
Faculty file
Man of many talents
By JENNY CHRISTENSEN
From music, to painting or
writing or even acting, John W.
Pogany Sr. has probably done it
all.
That’s understandable, for
Mr. Pogany was bought up in a
creative atmosphere. His
father, Willy Pogany, was
internationally famous for his
work in paintings and
illustrations, which resembled
the styles of contemporary
artist N.C. Wyeth and Arthur
Rackham. He also had a scenic
studio where he designed casts
and sets for the Metropolitan
Opera, and later for motion
pictures. This is where Mr.
Pogany first “played” with
paints.
His musical talents came
from his mother, a famous
musician. At the age of 6, Mr.
Pogany had his first musical
composition printed in a
magazine for child prodigies.
Mr. Pogany met his wife,
Marian, at Wamer Brothers
Studios when she was an actress
under contract for D.W.
Griffith. She did motion
pictures during the time of
Lillian and Dorothy Gish.
Mr. Pogany’s lone acting
experience was an offBroadway production, “The
Lottery.” It was centered
around a boys school and
although it never made the big
time it did feature some people
who did. For example, Eddie
Bracken, Harold Hect of HectLancaster Productions, and
Peter Donald, who was a writer
for comedian Fred Allen.
Although Mr. Pogany is best
known at Peninsula for his art
work, he also uses his talents at
the typewriter.
“I alwayswanted to become a
writer,” he says.
While in Brooklyn, N.Y., at
the age of 19, Mr. Pogany
worked on a newspaper whose
editor later became the
assistant press secretary to
President Eisenhower. During
the ’50s, Mr. Pogany was editor
of the Jefferson County Herald.
Locally, he haswritten a weekly
art column in the Sunday
edition of The Daily News. He
now writes the Port Angeles
Symphony reviews and
program notes. While acting as
program director for Peninsula
College, Mr. Pogany also did a
weekly report on stations KONP
and KAPY.
After working as assitant art
director at Wamer Bros., and
Universal studios, Mr. Pogany
was later appointed to assistant
to area supervision, Mural
Division, of the Federal Arts
project in Los Angeles. One of
the more well remembered
projects was that of restoring
several murals at the Hearst
Bavaria Village in Wyntoon,
Calif. The murals were
-originally done by Willy
Pogany, but had deteriorated
over the years. John Pogany
was commissioned by W.R.
Hearst to restore them and
submit new designs for another
building.
Mr. Pogany has had his work
displayed in private collections
throughout Washington,
California, and in the ChicagoNew York Invitational Art
Exhibit. His works are also on
the Peninsula College campus,
along with severalmurals at the
Discovery Bay Elementary
School.
Now at home in Sequim, Mr.
Pogany has opened his own art
studio, located at the Sequim
Professional Park. Primarily
the studio features his own work
but also on display are works of
his father, as well as other local
artists.
New faculty joins Peninsula staff
Peninsula College has added
to its staff of 56 instructors and
administrators two new
instructors and one media
technician.
Originally from Pakistan,
Abdul Sheikh will operate in the
newly expanded audio-visual
section of the library as a media
technician. He is a graduate in
medical and scientific
photography and from the RCA
Electronics Institute of New
York City in television
directing, production, studio
operations and multi-media.
Sheikh also draws on 15 years of
experience as a professional
photographer in New York City
and in Pakistan.
Before coming to PC Sheikh
spent eight years in the Seattle
area coordinating, supervising
and instructing audio-visual
programs for the city schools.
While physics instructor Ron
Crawford is on leave this year
he will be replaced by Charles
Ardary. Ardary just completed
work for his master’s degree in
science education at Oregon
State University with a major in
physics.
He graduted from UCLA in
1972 with a bachelor’s degree in
astronomy and spent two years
as a teaching assistant in
physics.
While at Peninsula, Ardary
will teach physics and general
science courses.
Accompanying Fred
Schuneman in electronics
instruction is Clinton Skinner.
Skinner moved to Washington
last year and worked as senior
engineer and general manager
of Hall Industries, Inc., in
Lynden.
He worked as a part time
instructor at Skagit Valley
