History has its sweet side
The Mason County Historical Society will
wrap up its 2007 program year with its
traditional cookie exchange at 2 p.m. on
Sunday. Those who attend are urged to
bring a dozen cookies to share with others
and can expect others to share with them.
Among the highlights of the program year
was this photography exhibit commemo-
rating the 80th anniversay of Rayonier,
a forest-products company that had a re-
search laboratory in Shelton. Pictured
here are former Shelton research center
employee Andrew Bedlik and his wife
Shirley, along with wildlife biologist Dan
Varland, a Rayonier employee who helped
to organize the exhibit of company photo-
graphs. For more information about the
program on November 18, turn to page 13.
