Doug and Sadie Roach

Pete Foilen was in after Struble.

(DR) That’s right.

In fact, he bought all of his furniture for $35.  A ready made home. 

(DR) I’d forgotten where Pete lived when he was here.  Pete transferred out.  I think, what was his term here, only a couple of years.  I think two summers and one winter.  The second winter in the fall he transferred out.

He came here from Rocky Mountain. And after he left here he went to the Forest Service. 

(DR) He went to Union Creek.  He became head of the Union Creek district, I think.  Dave was always concerned about his staff.  He was out and mingled around.  He was quite different from the man that followed him.  The man who followed him was pretty much a desk man (9).  Dave, I guess, I think his background in college was forestry and he lived it in that manner.  The man that followed him was more of an administrative type of an individual.  We all regretted it when Dave left.

Did you know John Doerr?

(DR) Yes.  We were very good friends

(SR) We were very good friends.  He stayed with us when he first came here.

(DR) We visited them when he took over at Olympic National Park. Were you able to get in touch with Nancy? (10)

Yes.  I called her on the phone.  She lives up in Sequim [WA].

(DR) How is she? Do you know?

She seems to be doing fine.

(DR) The reason I asked is, we didn’t hear from her this Christmas.

(SR) We heard she was ill this Christmas and we hadn’t heard from her.

(DR) My wife has a bear story or two that she lived to tell the tale.
