In recognition for her outstanding contribution
to the
Northeast Washington Genealogical Society
Presented October 9, 2004
Lethene Parks, a member of the Society since 1990,
served two terms in the capacity of President and one term as Vice
President. She also served as our Society Librarian for many years, wrote articles for our
quarterly, and did an outstanding job wearing the hat of Teacher. Her
expertise in so many areas of genealogical research and her willingness to
share it, has benefited all of our members through the years. Since
her move to the coast in 2004, she has been greatly missed! An
occasional visit perks us up, though!! |

In recognition for her outstanding contribution
to the
Northeast Washington Genealogical Society
Presented October 9, 2002
Shirley was a founding member of the Society and
served two separate terms as Corresponding Secretary. Undoubtedly her
outstanding contribution has been in the collecting, preserving, indexing and
sharing of Stevens County history which has benefited (and will continue to
benefit) more than the Society. Countless researchers from all over the world
have found their ancestors due to Shirley’s efforts, and will continue to do
so long into the future thanks to her dedication and foresight.
