Got historic photos to share?
Our Facebook page is ideal for that,as Cheryl Magnuson has proven.
To honor the 50th anniversary of
the Seattle Worlds Fair, she posted
a photo of her dad, John Strong,
standing atop the Space Needle!
Turns out the longtime Redmond
resident helped build the Seattle
icon, wiring the original torch on theSpace Needle.
Check out the photos there, and
post some of yours at

rhs lifeTiMe
MeMbers
Why become a Lifetimer? We recently asked one of our newest, Tony
Emmanuel, and heres his response:
About a year ago Betty, my wife, asked if I ever thought of joining the
RHS Lifetime Members? I answered, No.
But then I thought about it. I could drive my old Ford Ranger pickup
a while longer . . . put off buying a few things. Then, RHS President Chris
Himes talked a little bit about the Society needs for funds. She talked
about it in an alluring way so as to seduce you.
Two months later, the sad news ofNao Hardys passing did it. I
gave. A bit for RHS, Nao, Judy Aries, Chris Himes and Miguel Llanoswho give a lot moreand the others who donate their precious time.
Now I feel better driving my old pickup truck. I like it even more now.
P.S. Its not true that I cant buy a truck if I really need it. Its just that
this was my way of thinking. Dont we old-timers reason things?
