Old Walla Walla Radio Remembered 42--KTEL Becomes Area Seahawks Station

Jan Thanks The City

I do remember seeing Jan's well done letter to the editor, soon after her appearance in 1979.

Return Of Jan Goldberg Curran

My cousin Jan Goldberg Curran got to do what many dream about, return to her hometown as a hero. 
She had her first (I think) book published and returned to her native Walla Walla for a book signing.

My brother, Steve, found this ad in the UB archives.
By coincidence, the event was exactly one year before the eruption of Mount St Helens.
