this is sad that Harold Bell has taken credit for a slogan that a child made. I won the contest on 1960’s and came in 2nd place. I was given an award and 15.00. I have been so proud of this and all these years later I read how so many kids also believed they had won as well. Perhaps we all do in our areas but Harold Bell did not come up with it.

I would love if I was given the credit for Give a Hoot don’t Pollute. There was an environmental contest at Assumption school in Bellingham Wa. They had the students participate in the contest and I won 2nd place. This was in the 1960’s. I believed credit should be given to the person who came up with slogan which at the time was me, Mary Jo Hemminger of Bellingham Washington

Mr Warren,

Hi, my great grandfather was A.J. McQuatters, he was the executive head of the lumber company until his passing in 1934. Might you have any photos of him in the town? Or any articles?

i was born there in 1958, my brother in 1961. I lived there until I was about 16, mostly with my grandparents, the Yocoms.

my grandma, Esther Yocom, worked down there in the 70’s. During the 60’s she worked upstairs in the ladies dept, with Mrs Patty, the butcher’s wife, a woman named Hazel, and another named Virgie.

Hello Joseph. I’m Orlando Carroll, member of the local tribe. The high school closed in June 1980. The last senior graduating class was seven members with the last names of Benally, Shumate, Waites, Hinton, Bolden, Leyba and Newell. I was finished with my junior year when the high school was closed. My bitter sweet memory was representing McNary High School at the June 1980 Boy’s State in Flagstaff. All the students went to Blue Ridge High School and five of us chose Alchesay.

Patricia, I think your mom and my mom Glenace Mineer were best friends in high school in McNary. Mom really missed her when she moved to Louisiana. Mom passed away last year. She was buried in the Pinetop cemetery.
