Letter to the editor ...
Cancer touches us all
Editor, The Herald:
Is there anyone left out there
whose life has not been touched
by cancer? Most likely someone
you know has had some form of
the disease.
Did you know that every
June; Belfair comes together as
a community to celebrate the
lives of those who have battled
cancer, to remember loved ones
lost to the disease and to fight
back against the disease that
takes too much?
The North Mason Relay For
Life is sponsored by the Ameri-
can Cancer Society and will be
held June 13 and 14 at the high-
school track. It's a community
thing. Find a relay team to join
or start one in your neighbor-
hood or at work. A full 100 per-
cent of money raised by teams is
used in the fight against cancer.
Now is the time to get involved.

ering from all domestic disasters,
whether natural or man-made, in-
cluding acts of terror.
SBA IS THE federal govern-
ment's primary source of money

saster-damaged private property.

businesses of all sizes, and private
nonprofit organizations fund re-
pairs or building efforts, and cover

William Alguard
Grapeview resident William
Chesley Alguard died Thursday,
December 13, at Harrison Memo-
rial Hospital after an 8-year battle
with multiple myeloma. He was
81.
He was born
in Spokane on
February 3,
1926 to William
P. and Wanda
Alguard and
moved to the
Kitsap Peninsu-
la as an infant.
After grad-
uating from
Bremerton High
School in 1944,
he enlisted in
the Army Air
Forces. When William
discharged from Alguard
military service,
he attended Seattle University
and graduated as a mechanical
engineer. Moving to Edmonds, he
went on to pursue a career with
the Army Corps of Engineers and
retired in 1985 as chief of opera-
tions of the Seattle District. In
retirement, he and his wife of 60
years, Virginia Beach Alguard,
lived in Grapeview.
Wrong name,
organization
were listed
The source of metal shelving
loaned to the Mary E. Theler Com-
munity Center for use in flood-
relief operations was incorrectly
identified in the December 13 edi-
tion of The Herald.
The shelving came courtesy of
Doctor Don LePere, a member of
the local Kiwanis club. We mis-
spelled his name in the original
article and mistakenly identified
him as a Lions club member. We
regret the error.
Mr. Alguard loved hunting
his dogs, fishing and cars. To
children and many others, he
thought of as a "mechanical 8
nius" who could build or repa
almost anything. He spent mm
enjoyable hours puttering in
workshop. Family and friends s
he was a humble man of integri
that will be missed by the mm
whose lives he touched.
Mr. Alguard was preceded
death by his son, Raymond ,
guard, and his grandson,
Tell.
He is survived by wife,
ia; his daughters Billie Evans | m
Scottsdale, Arizona, and Judy TeJ dl
of Edmonds; his
Kristi Richardson, Jeff
Jennifer Tell and Joahna Tell;
his great-granddaughters
and Samaria Richardson.
A private memorial service
interment were held for
family members at
lawn in Bremerton on
December 16. Memorial
may be made to the Chi]
Hospital Foundation, P.O.
