Aberdeen,WA Parade History

This is a scan from the 1963 Aberdeen Diamond Jubilee program. The Aberdeen Diamond Jubilee called on everyone to be involved. The local Postmaster had to contact national to get special permission for the mail staff men to grow facial hair--back then it was against policy, and back then the locals made it a jailable offense (fundraising jail)to be clean-shaven. This page is a copy of a rant by Ben Weatherwax, he was wishing for the good ol' days.
