Bruce Attebery, RASW President and
longtime restaurant operator

In an early Restaurant Association receiving line, we see Bev and Bruce. Other notables in this shot include Chas G. Hord (Glasses and light tux jacket), John Franco (far right in this picture), Bill and Patti Pardee, and what looks like (but probably isn't) Robert Redford working his way through the line.

(Left to right) are Victor Rosellini (standing), Seattle's Rabbi Levine, Cong. Norm Dicks, and Bruce Attebery.

 

Bruce and liquor rep. Bob Myrseth

They look like they were a winning foursome. It's Dave Mitchell, Chuck Quinn, Bruce, and an unidentified golfer.

One of the jobs a Restaurant Association president had was to give speeches. Lots of speeches.

 

The First Lady hosted the "Ladies Lunch" during the biennial Restaurant Convention. Bev is at the podium in what appears to be Horatio's on Lake Union. Only other participants I can identify are Billie (Mrs. Jim) Russell (seated at first table to the left) and at her side, Roberta (Mrs. Jack) Gordon.

The Opening Luncheon at the 1982 Pacific International Hospitality Show had former U.S. President Gerald Ford as the keynote speaker. Here Bruce (right) is shaking hands with the President, while perennial onvention chairman Victor Rosellini approves.

From a summer RASW Board Meeting at Stuart Anderson's Black Angus Ranch just west of Ellensburg are Bruce and Bev. That looks like Don Lehnertz from the Longhorn in Spokane behind them.

 

Bruce was also at a lot of the RASW meetings with Washington State Governors.
