Quilcene alumni reunion a big hit
Quilcene Alumni President Hector Munn, Class of 1948, welcomed more than 100 Quilcene High School graduates and visitors for an evening of recollection, dinner and entertainment on June 23.

Alumni from Hawaii, Alaska, Missouri, Idaho, Oregon, Montana and Washington gathered to give special honor to the classes of 1937, 47, 57, 67, 77, 82, 87, 97 and 2007.

Ninety-nine year old Doris Lambert Thacker, Class of 1925, was a special guest from Nine Mile Falls, Wash. "I can't wait to come back next year when I will be 100," she said.

The oldest Quilcene-born graduates still living here are Lura Mae Shafer (Class of 1938) and Don Ward (1940).

The Great Quilcene Remodel

The Quilcene Community joined in a decision to remodel the Quilcene Community Center in February of 2007. Since that time, the community has actively supported and participated in the effort to transform the center from an undistinguished building into a community facility residents can point to with pride. During the past two years, community residents and supporters from all of Jefferson County have come together, volunteering thousands of hours to help in the remodel. Bob Rosen documented the effort to remodel the Center in video and stills.
