JOEL P. AGGERGAARD
In appreciation to Emergency Service Coordinator
Joel P. Aggergaard who assisted with countless floods,
storms and local emergencies.
In the early 1980's, when the Governor's Office asked Okanogan
Officials what kind of financial help they would need to deal
with a flood, a county commissioner replied, "To hell with the
money. We'll figure that out later. For right now, just
send us Aggergaard. That's who we need!"
Joel Aggergaard served with distinction the administrations of:
Governor Daniel J. Evans
Governor Dixy Lee Ray
Governor John Spellman
Governor Booth Gardner
Governor Mike Lowry
Presented with respect and love for our friend Joel.
Ralph Munro, Secretary of State August 19, 1998
