Ron Cooper captures the Palouse with drone camera in June 2021
Professional photographer Ron Cooper of Salem, Oregon, visited the Palouse country of eastern Washington in June 2021. He gave permission to share these three photos he took with his drone camera.
He said, “We were in Eastern Washington at the right
time. Most of the wheat fields were still a beautiful green, and the moon
was full.”

THE LATE KEN VOGEL-- PULLMAN BUSINESS OWNER, TRAIN BUFF AND CHOCOLATE LOVER -- WILL BE HONORED DURING ‘DEPOT DAYS’ AT PULLMAN DEPOT HERITAGE CENTER
Pullman Community Update's July 2021 issue features a full page of Pullman Depot Heritage Center news and notes.
Among interesting information on the page is that "Depot Days" will be held Fri., Aug. 20 and Sat., Aug. 21, 2021, in the center which originally was Pullman’s Northern Pacific Railway depot.
On that Saturday, "businessman and Whitman County Historical Society member Ken Vogel" will be honored!
The page also says new exhibits in the Pullman Depot Heritage Center from Ken's estate and Jon Anderson will be highlighted. "Come see 'George' the conductor and grab a piece of chocolate in honor of Ken."
Those who knew Ken (1945-2016) appreciated his personality, business skills, love of Pullman, railroads/trains, chocolate and more.
Ken should be enshrined in the Pullman "Walk of Fame." Do you agree? If so, please make Ken's enshrinement happen!
Assuming he in enshrined, where should Ken’s "Walk of Fame" tile be located? Answer: On the sidewalk at Lily Bee’s, which in previous life was location of Ken Vogel Clothing. Before that it was J. C. Penney. A “plus” is that the tile would be close on Main Street to where the Empire department store was located. Ken worked at the Empire before opening his own store.

Posted with this text are two photos I took of Ken and Sally Vogel. One (Ken’s wearing long-sleeved shirt) is at a train show, perhaps in WSU Beasley Coliseum. Other is the Vogels at home in Winlock.
