Newsletter Newsletter of the Pacific Northwest Forest Service Retirees — Spring 2013 President’S Message— OldSmokeys Newsletter Newsletter of the Pacific Northwest Forest Service Retirees — Spring 2013 President’s Message— Wow! This past year as your President has been action packed and a lot of fun. It makes me proud to be part of this great organization, which now weighs in at 925 members! We have some recent key changes in our Board of Directors positions. Bill Funk has assumed the huge job of Database Manager (that’s keeping track of all our membership information) and Dick Bennett will be taking over as Treasurer. Plus, at the annual Spring Banquet on May 19, we will be installing Linda Goodman as President and Al Matecko as President-elect. We’ll give thanks to John Berry for his outstanding leadership as he completes his three-year term through the successive presidential chairs, too! Hopefully, you have already sent in your reservations. If not, act quickly! Remember, too, that we will have a silent auction this year, so get your auction items ready and bring your wallet. It makes me proud to serve with the hard-working officers and committee members who keep us rolling and informed. I value and thank each and every one of them for the many hours they give us. It deserves mentioning again that this is undoubtedly the largest and most active of the Forest Service retiree organizations. You know, in 1944 the Thirty-Year Club was founded, and that became our current Pacific Northwest Forest Service Association (PNWFSA)—OldSmokeys—organization. I’m certain that our founders would be pleased to see how we have flourished not only as a social organization but for the concrete things we are doing through our emergency fund disbursements and project grants that now total over $59,000 and countless person-hours of volunteer work in the preser- vation of our Forest Service heritage. Thanks for the honor of serving as your President. I look forward to working with Linda Goodman this next year.

FRENONT FOREWORD Gifford Pinchot once said, "The Forest Service is the best organization in the government because of the people in it". In my opinion, the out-door-loving S persons who choose their life work in the Forest Service and other conservation agencies are among the greatest Perhaps this is because these devoted people are more interested in helping to wisely use and perpetuate our natural resources rather than to exploit them. The8emen and women employees of the Forest Service are loyal, dedicated, and hard-working persons They work many hours of unpaid overtime to get the job done They are unselfish, giving a great deal of their own time and effort to community activities, such as the Boy Scouts, Camp Fire Girls, 4-s, United Fund, Rotary, Lions, and other service organizations. The wives of these men are exceptional and fine women who do their part in community af fairs They snow that housing and living conditions in the Forest Service are sometimes undesirable and in isolated places, but they cheerfully accept them It has been very pleasant working for and with the great number of persons who have been on this forest I have appreciated this lengthy opportunity to know and make friends with some very fine people, and thank them for their help and pleasant associations One reason for this long opportunity was a letter I received from MrShirley Buck of the Regional Office when I started to work in Lakeview e said "It is hoped you will stay a considerable length of time" I thought he meant it.
