Abeleln is honored aft0000[
30 Yellowstone seasons J
By CHARLES GAY
Former Shelton teacher Dell
Abelein, who's spent most sum-
mers since 1970 working in Yel-
lowstone National Park, was re-
cently honored for his 30 seasons
of employment with a company
that operates stores there.
Friday the 13th proved to be
Abelein's lucky day last month
when he attended a Hamilton
Stores barbecue at Deep Well
Ranch, the West Yellowstone,
Montana, home of Ellen Povah,
chairman of the corporation's
board. In a surprise presentation
after the barbecue, Povah lauded
Abelein's decades of service and
then gave him a plaque and a
$1,000 gift certificate good at any
of Hamilton's stores.
Hamilton Stores is one of two
vendors in Yellowstone. It runs
all of the general stores and photo
shops and has half interest in the
park's service stations. Abelein is
the manager of the grocery de-
partment in the Hamilton Old
Faithful Upper Basin Store. He
and the dozen or so employees
under him are responsible for the
sale of groceries, sundries, maga-
zines and all sorts of beverages
from soda to milk to hard liquor,
and other parts of the store sell
gifts, film, camping supplies and
apparel.
THE STORES also have soda
fountains, which is where Abelein
got his start with Hamilton clear
back in 1955. He began with Ha-
milton that summer as a soda
fountain clerk at the West Thumb
Store and put in a second season
there as shift supervisor for the
soda fountain the next year. At
that time he was in college; he
learned of Hamilton Stores
through a brochure he found in
the school's physical-education
department.
Abelein completed college and
then served two years in the
Army as a military police clerk.
On his 24th birthday, September
5, 1959, the young man came to
Shelton and started 30 years of
teaching at Shelton Jnior High
School and Shelton Middle
School. He taught English and
journalism, reading, creative
ELLEN POVAH, head of the Hamilton Stores
that does business in Yellowstone National
counts the community service record of
dent Dell Abelein as she honors him for 30
work for the firm. For 30 summers since
has enjoyed a home away from home in Ye
writing and geography, retiring in
1989.
The young man is now 64,
although he prefers saying he is
"two to the sixth power."
After Abelein had taught for
six years, he returned to Hamil-
toffs Canyon Village store in the
summer of 1965 and worked in
the liquor, tobacco and candy de-
partment. He didn't go back to
Yellowstone until 1970, but since
that date he's only missed three
summers. In 1970 he started
working in the grocery depart-
ment of the Old Faithful Upper
Basin Store and has returned
there ever since.
HE WAS a grocery clerk until
the late '70s, when he graduated
to shift supervisor. When he was
still teaching, he was only avail-
able for short summer stints, but
when he went back in 1992 for a
season of 21-23 weeks, he was
promoted to grocery manager, his
title for the last eight years.
In Shelton Abelein is head ush-

The Washington State Patrol

A total of 633 trucks were in-

In Washington, 291 vehicles
were checked, resulting in 33
drivers and 30 vehicles being
placed out of service. Five drivers
were arrested on DUI charges,
another was cited as alcohol-im-

Abeleln is honored aft0000[
30 Yellowstone seasons J
By CHARLES GAY
Former Shelton teacher Dell
Abelein, who's spent most sum-
mers since 1970 working in Yel-
lowstone National Park, was re-
cently honored for his 30 seasons
of employment with a company
that operates stores there.
Friday the 13th proved to be
Abelein's lucky day last month
when he attended a Hamilton
Stores barbecue at Deep Well
Ranch, the West Yellowstone,
Montana, home of Ellen Povah,
chairman of the corporation's
board. In a surprise presentation
after the barbecue, Povah lauded
Abelein's decades of service and
then gave him a plaque and a
$1,000 gift certificate good at any
of Hamilton's stores.
Hamilton Stores is one of two
vendors in Yellowstone. It runs
all of the general stores and photo
shops and has half interest in the
park's service stations. Abelein is
the manager of the grocery de-
partment in the Hamilton Old
Faithful Upper Basin Store. He
and the dozen or so employees
under him are responsible for the
sale of groceries, sundries, maga-
zines and all sorts of beverages
from soda to milk to hard liquor,
and other parts of the store sell
gifts, film, camping supplies and
apparel.
THE STORES also have soda
fountains, which is where Abelein
got his start with Hamilton clear
back in 1955. He began with Ha-
milton that summer as a soda
fountain clerk at the West Thumb
Store and put in a second season
there as shift supervisor for the
soda fountain the next year. At
that time he was in college; he
learned of Hamilton Stores
through a brochure he found in
the school's physical-education
department.
Abelein completed college and
then served two years in the
Army as a military police clerk.
On his 24th birthday, September
5, 1959, the young man came to
Shelton and started 30 years of
teaching at Shelton Jnior High
School and Shelton Middle
School. He taught English and
journalism, reading, creative
ELLEN POVAH, head of the Hamilton Stores

counts the community service record of
dent Dell Abelein as she honors him for 30
work for the firm. For 30 summers since
has enjoyed a home away from home in Ye
writing and geography, retiring in
1989.
The young man is now 64,
although he prefers saying he is
"two to the sixth power."
After Abelein had taught for
six years, he returned to Hamil-
toffs Canyon Village store in the
summer of 1965 and worked in
the liquor, tobacco and candy de-
partment. He didn't go back to
Yellowstone until 1970, but since
that date he's only missed three
summers. In 1970 he started
working in the grocery depart-
ment of the Old Faithful Upper
Basin Store and has returned
there ever since.
HE WAS a grocery clerk until
the late '70s, when he graduated
to shift supervisor. When he was
still teaching, he was only avail-
able for short summer stints, but
when he went back in 1992 for a
season of 21-23 weeks, he was
promoted to grocery manager, his
title for the last eight years.
In Shelton Abelein is head ush-
