Historic Hood River
Crag Rats 50th
6-14-2024
Notes
In March of 1976 the Crag Rats had a big anniversary to celebrate– their 50th. Arne Udelius and George Sheppard are unpacking (or packing?) a sack of artifacts from earlier days. I’m more interested to see if any of you are able to identify the onlookers, who are looking very 1970s.
The Crag Rats have just two years to plan their 100th anniversary. Hopefully they will share their plans with us, and share some photographs afterwards.

I recognize the man standing right behind Arne. It’s Joe from the Hood River News. Can’t remember his last name though.
Arne was the nicest, sweetest man.
Another Hukari
Left Teresa Hukari, behind her almost unseen is Glen Marsh, the next one I think I know is lady in pink top – Bonnie Lichens (?), Next to her tall guy Brian Hukari, Man with buzz cut in back I think is Al Lichens, and Bruce hukari next to him. In front of them in white may be Polly Marsh but I am not so sure.. next lady in navy blue is Helen Hukari and next to her, her sister Marian Hukari.
I am not great at names and faces but bet Beth Hukari or another long time rat would know most of them.

I agree with Another Hukari, on identification – I’ll add Margaret Marshall in the center wearing green outfit. Right side seated is Wilson Applegren (?) and Harry Ethel. I think the guy in the brown jacket looks like Dan Sheppard- but Kalley thinks it’s a newspaper man….idk – might be too tall to be Dan….
Kalley
Just remembered Joe’s last name, it’s Decker! Took me awhile and went through the alphabet to remember. Luckily his name starts with D, didn’t have to go too far into the alphabet to remember!
Dan
Looks like John Arens with the beard
Another Hukari
Correction- My sister thinks that the lady is pink is not Bonnie Lichens but Mavis Graves.
Susan
The distinguished gentleman sitting second from right is Mace Baldwin…
Jennapher Wells-Jones
Second to last man on right with crossed arms is Harold Wells
