Acquisition Information:

Gift from Eugene Seidel in 2012. 
Gene is fondly remembered by family and friends for his love of people, gentility of manner and deep sense of civic duty, which found expression in community service. A few examples are membership on the Clark County Board of Adjustment for 10 years and as chair or vice-chair for six, on many local structures such as the Mayor's Advisory Committee for Camas and regional bodies for the planning of health delivery and community services, such as the Clark County Comprehensive Health Planning Committee and the Washington State Health Coordinating Council. He also was an advocate and supporter of Clark College's Child and Family Studies Program and expressed his love of art, architecture and gardens through designing several homes and helping establish the nature trail at the Indian Summer Golf Course, which is named after him and the Harmony Garden therapeutic horticultural program at Willamette View. —Oregonian
