Retired Shelton teacher:, !:: 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.

Retired Shelton teacher:, !:: 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.
