  I don't suppose there are many other OlyBloggers who were around here when Al Rosellini was Governor (1957-1965). He kept sheep on the lawn of the Governor's mansion. When my little brother, who was a toddler at the time, got lost at the Puyallup Fair, we became frantic. But then we saw him somehow towering over the crowd. He was on Gov. Rosellini's shoulders, who told us, "I knew someone would spot him up here!" We have a few other stories about Big Al, but I'll parcel them out later. The combined 5 terms of Rosellini and Evans (1957-1977) remain as a high point in government activism in Washington. Happy birthday Big Al!
