Title

Representative Les AuCoin and Senator Bob Packwood at the dedication of the Fort Clatsop Visitor Center

Description

From left to right, Representative Les AuCoin, a US Park Services manager, and Senator Bob Packwood sit at the grand opening of the Fort Clatsop visitor center. In typed notes about the image, AuCoin writes: "Perhaps the only extant photograph of both me and Senator Bob Packwood. Having appropriated funds for the permanent Lewis and Clark visitor center at Fort Clatsop, near Astoria, I was asked to deliver the dedication speech at the grand opening. Packwood was subsequently asked to be part of the program, too. Here, the US Park Service manager of the national monument sits uncomfortably between the two Senate candidates." This is one of a collection of digitized objects from the Les AuCoin Papers (MS.147) at the Pacific University Archives. The original photo remains with the AuCoin family.
