There was an event on campus celebrating some kind of TESC anniversary around 1986-87 featuring important State political figures, including Gov. Booth Gardner. He was a Democrat who served from 1985-1993. Gov. Gardner was making a point about the heritage of Washington State.
» "Washington, a great state, built by pioneer families ..." And here I thought, how nice. He's going to recognize live-off-the-land Territorial families like mine. People who came here in the wild and woolly days to seek a better life. Citizens who contributed to the creation of entirely new communities. Real pioneers, hardscrabble workers and farmers who sacrificed everything they had to take a risk and jump into the unknown. "... Yes, great families, like the Boeings, the Weyerhaeusers ..." Silly me.
