LEON ARKSEY, English 1959-92; LAURA ARKSEY, Librarian, Humanities Bibliographic Specialist, 1967-92. The Arkseys are actively involved in preserving the wealth of historic public buildings and mansions in Spokane, Washington, where they make their home. Leon is on the Historic Preservation Committee of the Eastern Washington Historical Society and Laura is a volunteer and former archivist for the Cheney Cowles Museum. The volunteer work grants them entree into the inner workings of the city and has greatly widened their circle of friends. The Arkseys attend Hamblin Park Presbyterian Church and have traveled recently to England and Portugal.
WILLIAM REARICK, Education/Theatre/English 1960-1991. Bill lives in Lacey, Washington, and is actively involved in writing and telling tales of local historical fiction to third graders in the North Thurston School District. His stories are holiday-centered and sometimes feature real historic figures. The challenge and the fun come from research and the variety of responses with each new class. Daughter PAMELA REARICK DECK '75 is the teacher and Dad makes about 25 visits to her classroom each year for reading time. Bill and his wife, Ida Mae, are co-librarians at their church, Lacey Presbyterian.
