Emma Doyle Shorleline, Washington emmadoyle@comcast.net 24 Jan 2006 Grand Coulee Dam is awesome!!! My family comes there every year and stay at the coulee playland resort, and go fishing and tubing on Banks lake! It's awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gwynne James Mack United Kingdom gwynne.mack@btopenworld.com 13 Nov 2005 Looking forward to visiting your interesting Visitors Centre in June 2006 and to following the walking trails around the Grand Coulee Dam. Brian Hannigan Barrie, Ontario, Canada brian.hannigan@rogers.com 28 Oct 2005 It certainly is impressive and with such a large capacity to generate power. Begs the question, why isn't it being run, has it do with maintaining water levels? Can't be much cheaper power to generate Because Power cannot be saved.... it must be generated when needed... and because Grand Coulee Dam can increase its power generation at practically anytime can meet these immediate needs. (water going over the dam is actually unused... not going through the turbines to generate electricity.) ~ Jim blopez

I remember it as a great little town with nothing to do, but we were never bored. It was a sort of Norman Rockwell type place. We used to ride our bikes to Grand Coulee and Coulee Dam. In visiting there later, I found that the towns are much closer together now than they were then. This was a perfect place for a boy to grow up in. Dick and Joyce Behrens Grand Coulee, WA 99133 omaopa@vib.tv 16 Jul 2005 We moved here in 1948 and each taught school for 30 years. When we arrived I said we'd stay 2 or 3 years and we are still here. It is a beautiful area, lots of lakes, golf course but ,most importantly, wonderful, caring people. Come visit us, you'll learn to love it.

King county bankslakebum@hotmail.com 05 Apr 2005 Yarram Onbasi yarramonbasi@yahoo.com 04 Apr 2005 This is one of the best places I have ever seen. Thank you. Paul S. Denny Bothell, WA USA pchelandenny@verizon.net 30 Mar 2005 Got to thinking about my years growing up in Coulee and came by this web site. My grandfather and 18 year old father helped to build the dam. Grandpa built a small house in Mason City and my grandmother taught school in Almira where a lot of the construction people lived until housing was ready. After the way, my father returned to Coulee and became a Control Room operation of the Bureau. I remember walks from the sunny side, across the bridge, and over to the pool. No matter how many times we climbed up and tumbled down the sandpile, we never got tired of it. The hamburgers at the swimming hole were the best and the 3 meter diving tower took some nerve for a small kid to jump off. Since my dad worked inside the dam, I always got the 'special' tour. I was born on Yucca--down from Zowada's house. In about 60' my dad and a few others built nice new homes on the street below and we had fantastic views of the dam. I can still hear the roar of the water when it was spilling over. Have never seen the laser show--other than from 20,000 ft. when we flew over. I remember the huge banks of colored lights that would fade from one to the next color. Low tech for sure, but still amazing to see. Great web site. It was fun to reminisce. haintn haintn@21cnn.com 23 Mar 2005 shanghai nice website, i like your website. thanks! Benjamin L.

Who cares about dams, how about some wild salmon and steelhead
in Idaho! Thanks for the deprivation of these wonderful fish.
Man and Nature often clash... but eventually things come
fullcircle. Sometime in the future, the Power Generation from
Grand Coulee and other dams will be outdated. Dams will only
be needed for reservoirs and flood control. Many will be
removed to let the Rivers and Tributaries revert back to the
way Nature Intended.
(This is happening in California right now.)
For the meantime... Better and cheaper technologies can
create means of getting fish up and over the dams via NEW and or
improved fish ladders. (Only Grand Coulee Dam and Chief Joeseph
Dam, 36 miles downstream of Grand Coulee, are currently the only
dams on the U.S. Columbia River that do not have Fish Ladders.)
Currently, Salmon and other fish can swim up the Columbia all
the way to the Okanogan River 6 miles below Chief Joeseph. This
Leaves out the San Poil river, Spokane river, Kettle River, all
Idaho, Eastern Montana, and Canadian Rivers, as well as numerous
rivers, lakes and streams in Eastern Washington.
Building fish ladders on Chief Joeseph and Grand Coulee is
a large task, but can be undertaken and completed in the near
future. Right now there are many people working on various
means to get this accomplished, and soon, maybe you will see
Salmon swimming in your Idaho rivers. ~ Jim

Danny Haszard Bangor Maine rollingthunderboywonder@yahoo.com 24 Sep 2004 I have worked on heavy construction projects as a concrete form carpenter all my life.The Grand Coulee Dam is a triumph indeed.

The children love the laser show and always look forward to it. Yolanda Dickey Winthrop, Washington USA bucerias2000@yahoo.com 17 Aug 2004 I have just visited your web site as I am planning to bring my daughter to watch the laser show in a couple weeks. My dad worked on the Grand Coulee Dam (and Chief Joseph), so am eager to visit as I have just recently moved back to Washington. Have not been there since the l950's. We are looking forward to our visit. Thank you. DESIREE.WILLIAMS DESIREE.WILLIAMS@mezzo.homedns.org 16 Aug 2004 ALSO IT IS ALL GREAT AT THIS WEBSITE MARYANN.WILLIAMS MARYANN.WILLIAMS@mezzo.homedns.org 16 Aug 2004 its true, the site is wonderfull FANNIE.WILLIAMS FANNIE.WILLIAMS@mezzo.homedns.org 16 Aug 2004 this site is good lorma and trevor kempster australia sal-@1936@hotmail.com 12 Aug 2004 magnificent light show, something for everyone to admire, Structure and scenery. Well Done!!! Curt Mitchell Shreveport, LA scmitch81@aol.com 11 Aug 2004 I grew up in Electric City and left in 1978. My father worked on the Third Powerhouse. I have fantastic memories of the area. Hiking on the Coulee Wall and swimming in Banks Lake. To those who grew up in the area they'll remember hanging out at Rapid Robert's and the Gravel Pit. I cannot think of a better place for a boy to grow up. JARED jared0104@hotmail.com 08 Aug 2004 I thought the Grand Coulee Area was awesome. Lake Roosevelt was Awesome. The lazer(sic) show at GCD (Grand Coulee Dam) was Awesome, except some of the story Line was lousy. I think you might want to re-edit the narration. They probably did not think much about this when they wrote it. I could see how it easily slip the mind. But in the Narration they said that “chaos gave birth to the Columbia River”. Then later they claimed the “Columbia River was Power and strength.” Well are you trying to teach that Chaos gives birth to Power and strength? And the narration was stating an unproved theory to the public, as if it were a sure thing. I don’t think that right or fair, to mislead the public like that. And if you think of all the complexity and the design and Engineering that took place to create the Grand Coulee Dam, and then compare it to the complexity of the Columbia, plant and animal life and all nature, it makes the complexity of GCD look like practically nothing. So then how can anyone (in there right mind) state that “chaos gave birth to the Columbia”. If chaos gave birth to something as complex as the Columbia, Why didn’t chaos give us something as simple as Grand Coulee Dam. I felt like the Narration at the GCD lazer(sic) show was trying to insult my intelligence by telling me that it takes years of complex engineering and labor to create GCD. But simple chaos created the complex and unique Columbia River. Editor's Response: The Universe was created out of CHAOS... (You Know, the Big Bang... about 14.5 Billion Years ago or so....) It was finally Man who utilized what Nature provided and brought ORDER to some of NATURE'S CHAOS.... OK... Beavers permanently changed the environment drastically around them by building dams before man did, But Man surpassed the Beavers ability Millions of Years ago. Man build Grand Coulee Dam and changed the future of the Columbia River in less than 10 Years, 1933-1942. The Columbia River was formed over Eons and the Grand Coulee was formed during the Many Ice Ages over 100's of Thousands of Years... This Happened When Great Lake Missoula, An Ancient Ice Dam 2000 Feet tall in Western Montana, would eventually break. It Broke Many Many times, and sent Huge amounts of Water toward the Pacific. Each Time, More than 10 times the flow of ALL the Rivers in the World would Flow towards the Ocean. This was CHAOS... Up to 65 miles per hour, a towering wall of water and ice, literally Thundering and shaking the earth on its way through the Pacific North West to the Ocean. This water carved the Columbia River Drainage and the Gorge, Dumped soil in the Willamette Valley, Flooded the Columbia River Basin and carved out the Grand Coulee, Dry Falls... Etc., on it's Tumultuous Journey to the sea. Man was able to harness the otherwise destructive power of the Columbia River's Annual massive flooding, and create good things with it. Power, Water, Lakes, Irrigation... It was and is, an Engineering Marvel, It is still the most POWERFUL Dam in North America, (Largest Power Producer) It STRENGTHENED America's ability to win WWII, Creating Power to turn out over 40% of theU.S. Aluminum for the U.S. War Planes and Ships, as well as providing power and labor to Hanford, which made the Two nuclear bombs that ultimately ended World War II. So the Columbia River was Created from CHAOS over Millennia, and the Grand Coulee Dam now Provides Power and Water to Hundreds of Thousands of people every day. There are over 100 Nuclear Power Plants that produce 800 Billion Megawatts/year, about 20% of the Annual U.S. Power. The Grand Coulee Dam Alone, produces 57 Billion Megawatts/ year, 1.5% of the United States POWER Needs Per Year, and over 1/3 of the U.S. Columbia River POWER output. (All the other U.S. Columbia River Dams together, produce 3% of the Annual U.S. Power Needs.) That is a lot of STRENGTH for One Dam, and it is only 1 of 14, (3 Dams are in Canada.), on the Once Mighty Chaotic Columbia. ~ Jim Benny Biak - Papua - Indonesia papua_trip@yahoo.com 26 Jul 2004 Hi... your site is very interesting and so Nice with good information. Warm greeting from Biak Papua Indonesia. GORDON L. LARSON COULEE DAM, WA Gordo1@Couleedam.net 07 Jul 2004 IF YOU ARE A HIKER,GO AS FAR AS YOU CAN DRIVING UP NORTHRUP CANYON. THEN HIKE UP PASS OLD NORTHRUP HOMESTEAD AND FOLLOW THE OLD CREEK BED ONE MILE & GO TO THE LEFT TO TOP OF CANYON & YOU SHOULD SEE THE RIM OF NORTHRUP LAKE. WHICH LOOKS LIKE A OLD VOLCANO OPENING.

LARSON Sharon Hett Pasco, WA. skhett1@charter.net 23 Jun 2004 I came up about 13 years ago and saw the light show and I was real impressed. I am going to come back this year sometime and bring my grandson. I can't wait to see the laser show again. Lynne Zastre Emmett, Idaho lzastre@sde.state.id.us 01 Jun 2004 We visited Grand Coulee over Memorial weekend. I love the city surrounding the dam. My husband is thinking of applying for a position with the Bureau of Reclemation. He has been with them for 10 years now and works for Black Canyon Dam in Emmett Idaho. I think we would like it there. Julia A Lidke Cingle Yakima, WA, USA julia.a.cingle@aexp.com 17 May 2004 My Uncle Havey VanCello was one of the first men who worked on the dam when it was being built. I know that I still have family in Grand Coulee, Electric City and Coulee Dam, but they are distant. My Uncle, Aunt Lela VanCello, grandmother, Verna Whiting have passed on and are buried at Spring Canyon. I plan to bring my husband (who was born in this state but never seen the Dam), plus my children and grandchildren this summer. Thank for the web site because I can see alot has changed but I still recognize the area. I used to swim at banks lake every afternoon and evening with my cousins and Uncle. good job. Harold Owens Kansas City, Missouri USA h_owens64133@yahoo.com 16 May 2004 Fantastic website!! BRAVA! Very well put together and easy to navigate. Keep up the good work. God himself must live in the Coulee Dam area. I can't wait to get there. J T Richardson Charlestown Indiana USA celt57@msn.com 28 Apr 2004 Visited last summer. Barbequed at the base of the dam. It was great! My son spent hours chasing seagulls. I am sure the Grand Coulee is more massive than Hoover. If I were a younger man, would seriously consider relocating to this area. We will return for a longer stay someday. Editor: Click HERE to See Response below Jim Elise J. Stockwell Seattle, Washington, USA EliseJune@collegelub.com 17 Apr 2004 My parents, my kids and I went to see the laser light show a couple of years ago at the dam and really enjoyed it. We are planning on seeing it again this summer-late June- with my parents again also and enjoying the town, too! You have a very wonderful area! Elise J. Stockwell Nancy Spicher-Cesar Juneau, Alaska spicher@ptialaska.net 10 Mar 2004 Used to live there. Left in 1981. Still miss it. Hope to be able to bring my family and show them where I grew up (early childhood). I am also anxious to see all of the changes. Maybe this summer. Thank you for the website, it gives me back a bit of my childhood. Bob Philmore Spokane, Wa Bobphilmore22@aol.com 08 Mar 2004 This is an awsome dam. I liked it a lot.

Mark Everett Seattle, Washington fatelvisintherain@yahoo.com 10/22/2003 I made fun of my new friend when he told me that every year him and his other friends would go to Coulee every year for memorial day weekend to go camping. Then I found myself with nothing to do on that weekend. Some of my best memories were had there and with the people that i met that weekend. Coulee will always hold a special spot in my heart.

I was so glad to find this page about the grand coulee dam. I am so fond of it since it was the last time me and my best friend Katie had spent anytime together. We went to the laser light show with her cousin and I think her grandparents too. She was staying with her grandparents when we were in the 8th grade. Then I moved to California and have not seen nor heard from her since thats why grand coulee is special to me. I am sure we all I have our reasons :)) ps. Katie if you read this please email me chelcia mawdsley omak washington chelcia**nativepride 9/25/2003 just wanted to say hi to my favorite cuz daniel morris and i hope you havea great year give me a halla some time. lots of love!!!!!!!!!!!

Jill Bird Vancouver, WA USA jillbird62@aol.com 9/2/2003 I am writing in regards to the passing of a relative, William John McFadden, who we lost on 08/22/03. He was a Signalman in the early days of the construction of the dam. Anyone with information on that period of time please pass it on. Thanks, Jill Bird Tiffany Surrey, BC, Canada hallie1@mailcity.com 8/25/2003 When I finally found this website on the Dam it totally filled me in oneverything I was inquiring about. I am planning to visit the area in the next few days and hopefully the information will help me out a great deal. Already I feel more at ease after navigating through the information provided on this site. Hod Payne Klama Falls OR. USA hod10@aol,com 8/25/2003 Gosh, I thought it would be bigger, like Hoover Dam. Actually, it depends on what you are talking about when making these comparisons... Length | Height | Yards of Concrete | Power Capacity ---------------------------------------------- Hoover: 1,244 ft | 726 ft | 3.25 Mil. Yards | 2,078 Megawatts Grand Coulee: 5,223 ft | 550 ft | 12 Million Yards | 6,809 Megawatts ---------------------------------------------- Differ- ance: | GCD is | Hoover | Grand Coulee Dam | Grand Coulee Dam | over 4 X | is 1/3 | has over 3.5 Times | can produce over | Longer. | Taller.| as Much Concrete. | 3.3 X more power. 3 out of 4 ain't bad.... Jim Lela Hanson Yelm Washington thurston lela8235@aol.com 8/13/2003 My husband and I have been vacationing in Grand Coulee for over 8 yrs. We love it so much that we are looking into buying property there. We hope to retire there in a few yrs. One of our must does, while there is seeing the laser show "love it" it's good to have a web site to tell people of your love for Grand Coulee. thanks.

You must address this issue in order to get my "two snaps and a twist" review. Also, the Flying J burritos were to die for. Pantaleon S. Saya-ang Iligan City, Philippines patss5o_24k@yahoo.com 8/9/2002 impressive websites...its well done....but I wonder if there was much public objection when this dam was first planned to beconstructed...where I believe that increasing the head water level...would mean a considerable habitable area that will go underwater. The Dam Raised the Water Level of the Columbia approx. 315 ft at full pool and back over 150 miles to the Canadian Border. Most of the underwater Roads were rebuilt above the full pool line. Many communities, Indian burial grounds, Indian fishing holes, Waterfalls, animal and plant habitatand probably others that I haven't mentioned were overrun. But the most permanently affected was the Salmon Run which was stopped at Chief Joeseph Dam, 34 miles downstream from the Grand Coulee Dam on the Columbia. ~ grandc Melanie Avey Kennewick, WA whazzup21@yahoo.com 7/13/2002 I was born and raised in the Grand Coulee Dam area and graduated in '97. A large majority of my family lives in the area, so I still "come home" when I can. It is truly a beautiful place...I miss the "Coulee Walls" (mountains)!

Teddy Sutton Redmond, Oregon USA Teddybear45@myexcel.com 5/9/2002 I visited the dam when I was 12 years old for a summer. A week does not go by that I do not have very vivid dreams regarding returning to the dam. I am now 46 years old and fear that seeing it through an adults eyes might somewhat diminish the experience (it may not seem so grand!). That is why I've never been back, I do not want to loose what is imprinted in my mind as the dam being the most wonderful site I have ever witnessed. Tom Davis Seattle, WA, King cyclertom@webtv.net 5/7/2002 Sun, peace and quiet, clear skies, a beautiful lake and your closest friends to enjoy it with you.

I haven't been back in almost 5 years and miss it terribly. I have a son of my own now and can't to show him where mommy spent most of her summers. Grand Coullee Dam will always be my real home. I remember me and my sister building "pretend" beaver dams in the small ditches that ran along douglas street, sending our bicycles down the road, with no riders and last but not least watching the laser light shows and eating cotton candy. Its one of the most beautiful sights in the world and I hope more people will partake in this wonderful sight. Yolanda Yomama ghettofab@hotmail.com 3/27/2002 hey i just wanna day the laser show at the Grand Coulee Dam is of the heezy. I didnt like the ride up but hey its all gravy baby. Frank Sheehy Gravesend,Kent, England spurs6061@aol.com 3/20/2002 In 1999 I was sent by my company to work at the Grand Coulee Dam, it took me 21 hours to get to Spokane and another 2 hours the next day to finaly reach Grand Coulee, WOW my first sight of the dam was stiring and is a memory that is etched in my brain. It was spectacular. As I moved towards it and I could take in the magnificent contours of its design,I thought its awesome beauty a tribute to the genious of man kind was only outshone by the hand work of God that it is carved into, the surrounding hills and the meandering of the Colombia river. You are very lucky people to be surrounded by the abundant beauty that surrounds your home and I wish I was there with you. I have lost contact with two really nice guys who i worked with there, Ron Spangler and James Boveido who work at the Power plant of the dam. If you see them ask them to get in touch, God Bless! kevin milne new zealand neilhort@clear.net.nz 3/17/2002 surfed in to have a look at one of the great wonders of our age-truly great and the stats are hard to comprehend especially the amount of concrete-god bless you all in the usa.

I have never been to the State of Washington, and I'm very excited about seeing as much of it as I can. Ed Sharp Jeffersonville, IN esharp315@aol.com 8/31/2001 AWESOME! An inspiring expression of human engineering and labor to put God's precious gift of water to so many good uses. Robert Lentil Bonners Ferry, ID bobl@sprintnet.net 8/24/2001 Thanks for the great site full of much needed info about the area. Keep it up!! Jim Witmer Tacoma, WA thunder@nwrain.com 8/13/2001 Well, I too grew up here in the Pacific Northwest and as a kid viewed GCD after I did a report in school one year. Seems like a long time ago now though. I recently made a return trip and was just a awstruck as I was the first time I saw her. What I missed the last time was the roar of the water over the spillway. Time has taken it's toll and the water has been replaced by a wonderful laser light show. It's hard to imagine when watching the spillway that water flowing over the spillway is higher than Niagara Falls. Only one word describes it "Spectacular!" I took the tour long ago as well, back when there was only two powerhouses. After seeing "Bonneville" or "The Dalles" you have to wonder where did all that cement come from? Thanks for a wonderful attraction at the cost of so much. Amy Willis Loon Lake, Washington, USA biblestudygal@hotmail.com 7/31/2001 Grand Coulee Dam is awesome. Our family has gone to see the Laser Light Show at least once every year. It is great. I love it. Are van broke down there but we found a place to stay and a shop where we could get it fixed. It was cool. The bridge is cool and the restaurant on the other side is great. I personally have not been on the dam tour in a long time. It is time that I tour it again. Thanks for the light show. Great job. Love the music too...and the grounds. This is a MUST see for everyone in the surrounding areas. Dennis Haveman Bothell, WA, USA dhaveman@msn.com 7/31/2001 Our family has been going to Lake Roosevelt for 13 years. We have introduced many of our friends and they come camping with us every year. We really have a lot of fun waterskiing, innertubing, wakeboarding and jetskiing (when one of our friends brings one). If anyone would like a recommendation as to a place to camp where you can make reservations, so you are guaranteed a place to stay over looking the lake and only a mile away from it, e-mail me and I will pass along the information. It is a great campground and the owners are very wonderful people. PS I get nothing for this endorsement. We will continue to go to Lake Roosevelt for a good many years to come. The weather is great and the water is warm. sadie

Interesting place and the weather is wonderfully hot. Scott & Tammy Graham San Diego, Ca. asgraham@home.com 7/27/2001 As a long term resident of Grand Coulee (grown up and moved), I was recently home for a brief vacation.

I am very proud of all the hard work my father did. Valarie Davies Seattle, Wa. USA doughbie@hotmail.com 7/22/2001 Beautiful place. We visit Steamboat Rock State Park at least once a year (this year we will actually make 2 trips) and have seen the laser light show twice. We would like to take the dam tour so as soon as I find out the schedule I'll pass the info on to family. Banks Lake is spectacular. Thanks Paul Costanich Enumclaw, Wa. Paul_Costanich@Hotmail.com 7/22/2001 13 years ago we stopped at a camprgound near GCD in the middle of the night while heading home from Montana. We have been to that place every year since then, sometimes with friends but usually just my son and I. We have told very few people where we go, I guess we want to keep the place our secret. 2 weeks and we will be back.

I attended grade school through high school there. If you know me -email me! SAMANTHA TILL SALEM, OREGON, USA SAM/5/GHJT@WWW 3/4/01 I HAVE TO FIND OUT THINGS ABOUT GRAND COULEE BECAUSE MY DAUGHTER IS DOING A REPORT ON IT. mY FAMILY JUST MOVED HERE FROM LONDON AND WE AGREE THIS IS A LOVELY PLACE. Ty Rosenow Tacoma, WA, USA ty1@theservos.net 2/6/01 I have visited Grand Coulee Dam many times and will come back time and time again. Lately, I've been more interested in history of the dam and its construction. I guess my interest was my grandfather who worked on the dam that means more to me. Troy W BEnson Punxsutawney, PA USA twbenson@key-net.net 2/6/01 When I toured the dam, they told me that the electric could goto California if necessary. Now it is to my understanding that the dam, is at capacity, enough to meet the power needs of Chicago, BUT in reality its running San Fransisco +!!! I had a VISA Card issued by a San Fransisco bank, and it did not work so I started using my AT&T Universal Mastercard, based out South Hackensack NJ, I do not want to take any moe chances in such an unstable area, here we have the PJM (PA, NJ, MD Power Pool), http://www.pjm.com , GPU ENERGY, is the main power producer Grand Coulee better send electric as well as the canaidians, until Scientech can build a nuclear plant. Heidi Zerbel Washington,Lakebay,USA hZerbel@juno.com 1/31/01 I've visited the Grand Coulee Dam many times, and have gone on the tours and it's great to hear how everything works! I've also attended the Laser Light Show that is put on at certain nights! Wow, what a show it is! I come back every year for camping with my family and always take a memory and a souvenir home with me! Sincerely Heidi Z. TRACY SMITH Hinesville tracybaby@hotmail.com 1/7/01 I THINK THAT THIS DAM SHOULD GET MORE IMFORMATION ON IT IT WOULD REALLY HELP PEOPLE\KIDS WHO ARE DOING REPORTS ON THE COULEE DAM OR WASHINGTON.THAT IS WHAT I THINK BUT BESIDES THAT IT IS ALL RIGHT. Tracy micky micky@my.com 12/20/00 i think that your webpage should have more information on the effects of the dam on fish and wildlife. I am sure at least that the dam has a confound effect on the salmon population. krissy byers longview,washington,cowlitz byersbear32@hotmail.com 12/12/00 i think that grand coulee needs more camp and rv areas to say at ,there is a big need to use campers that like to bring are water toys (wave runners,boats)and it is a big pain trying to plan a vacation to stay in the few parks that are near the water. we tried to get a spot for 6 weeks and still have no where to stay!!!!!!!!!!!! Troy Winslow Benson RD#1 Box 4, Punxsutawney PA 15767 USA twbenson@key-net.net 12/11/00 I think that the grand coulee needs to send electic to California, to ease the shortage. During the tour, if I remember correctly, the movie said, that it delivers electric the whole way to california. Grand Coulee, give California a boost, they need electrified. Tanya Van Buskirk Kirkland, WA tvanbuskirk@kistleraero.com 12/5/00 I am 29 and I lived in Grand Coulee from the age of 4 through 4th grade ( I guess around 9 years old). My neice Heidi (who is now 28) and I loved growing up there especially going to Spring Canyon in the summers and seeing the color light shows on the dam at night. I saw the new laser light show for the first time last summer when I went to Spring Canyon and camped for the weekend. I still like the rainbow color show! If you know anyone aroundmy age who went to grade school at Center Elementary or Columbia Elementary I would love to email them! Kirby S. Belcher Taylor Prosser, WA kirbyt@bentonrea.com 12/3/00 I spent my highschool days in Coulee Dam. A 1975 graduate, (just barely). Have returned a few times for pleasure visits, once for my 20th class re-union. It was a wonderful place to live. I miss the roar of the dam and the never ending train sound it made at night when I tried to sleep. I see my neighbor Jim Birdwell was here. He used to spy on me from across the street. Hello Jim! Any classmates want to e-mail me it would be fun! Better leave a good clue as to who you are. I don't read just anything you know. Roger Daugherty Marina del Rey, Califonria jrdaugh.aa@gte.net 11/15/00 I miss you all, the dam, and everything, terribly! Except in the wintertime!! Look for me in the summer!

Allen Las Vegas, NV JoanneVTA@aol.com 8/23/00 While watching the Discovery Channel about the construction of the Dam, my husband and I entered into a debate about the location of the Grand Coulee Dam. For some reason, I believed that The Grand Coulee Dam, the Hoover Dam and the Bounder Dam were one and the same. Just goes to prove we are never too old to learn something new. I'm 68 and my husband is 70. Thanks for the information.

It will be a fun vacation along with a learning experience for our 3 families we will be going with. Tom Austin Bowling Green, Kentucky.......U.S.A. taustin@premiernet.net 7/24/00 I thoroughly agree with Tony Benson's statement about dams (we need more of them.) They stated on T.V. that grand coulee dam had enough concrete in it to pour a highway from the dam area to Chicago then have enough concrete left for a sidewalk poured beside it and the dam is taller than 3 Statue of Liberty's and about the same in depth at the bottom of it. You can most likely tell that I really like history. I plan to surprise my Mother in making a trip to visit the dam area very soon. I would appreciate getting all of the information about the dam and it's area that is necessary. Thanks, Tom. Frank Doering Burlington, wa. cporet94@aol.com 7/23/00 Wouldn't it be great to view a tour of the dam via your site. think of all the disabled or people who could not normally go the dam itself. Do you think that would be wonderful for them. I have toured it twice and just think it is great! The laser light show is the best!! Keep it up. Dail F. Melton Nome007t@AOL.com 7/10/00 You have a neat web site. I use to live in the area, and am familier with some of the things offered there. My dad worked as an operator for the third powerhouse at the dam. The family lived there from 1968 to about 1980. I graduated from Lake Roosevelt High in June 1975. I miss the area's scenery very much. Elaine Nyhoff Lynden Wa Nyhoff @juno.com 7/9/00 Larry and I are heading to Grand Coulee this coming weekend. This site was very helpful. We are looking forward to having a great time. Troy Winslow Benson twbenson@key-net.net 7/6/00 Hi. With the recent heatwave on the west coast, Washington, California, Oregan is lucky to have a natural huge source of electric generation at there fingertips. The Grandcoulee Dam, electric generating station, is large enough to meet the demand of Chicago. If all power plants were like the grand coulee, there would be no pollution, nor co2 emissions which lead to global warming and eventual flooding of the earth. I was just watching the Weather Channel, to find out a heatwave in California over the west coast lead to power shortages and outages. I immediately thought of the GRAND COULEE DAM, which I visited with Gretchen Foster of Spokane Washington, my cousin. Cory Hammer Waterbury,CT.USA daaammmnnn@hotmail.com 6/27/00 Best place I was ever born. Tell my grandmother that I miss her and mom. Cory shay jackson apple valley,MN 55124 28dashing-101@excite.com 6/16/00 The site was real nice never been there but I would love to have information on the Grand Coulee Dam attractions and tours. Troy Winslow Benson RD#1 Box 4, Punxsutawney PA 15767 USA twbenson@key-net.net 6/3/00 The worlds resources with doubling population, and industrialization of third world countries, means a 50 year supply of resources. By 2030 the world will have to build a Grand Coulee Dam in every city. This will also be clean, our air conditioners will no longer add fuel to the global warming, I see hydro electric power in the future. Troy Winslow Benson RD#1 Box 4, Punxsutawney PA 15767 USA twbenson@key-net.net 6/3/00 I have been to the Grand Coulee Dam, I thought it was beautiful. I strongly believe in Hydro--electric power. It is the power of the future. With global warming, industrialization of third world countries, a 200 year supply of coal according to theologists is only a 50 year supply. By the year 2030, the population will be double what it is now currently 6 billion, soon to be 12 billion. We need a grand coulee dam in every city to supply electric, clean and renewable, its water over the dam. We will have electric power cars, and when the oil and coal runs out, we will have no choice but to build dams, for hydro power.Clean recreational fun, comes from dams, like fishing, the Grand Coulee Dam is beautiful. I hope that the whole world models that dam, its as enviornmentally friendly as it gets. Sincerely, Troy Benson sharon spokane,wa wpi@email.com 6/2/00 We love the Roosevelt Lake area, in fact we have our boat moored in the lake. However, we feel that the constant change of water level, especially in the spring before the fish hatch, is killing the walleye and other fish that inhabit the lake. Alan O. Green Griffith, In. USA arg97@webtv.net 5/26/00 As I used to live and work at Sun Lakes State Park in '78 & '79, I must say to everyone reading this sign-in, you simply MUST take a summer vacation once in your life, in this area. It is THE most beautiful, scenic, fun-filled place you will EVER visit!!! Coulee Dam and the entire surrounding area is magnificent. Sunshine, lakes of all sizes, the finest state parks in America, and anything else your heart desires. Possibly the #1 vacation destination in our country (I'm not kidding). Alan Green Patty Schmits Monticello, MN USA Patty1of4@Juno.com 5/24/00 I am going to be in Washington on Julyth, I was checking to see if there were going to be any fireworks displays.

He is reminiscing about his experiences; I printed all the info on Grand Coulee Dam I could find on the internet.

CindyAndBrian@AOL.COM 1/7/00 Hello; I have been camping in the GCD area for the
past 5 or 6 years now...Steamboat Rock State Park to
be exact, Banks Lake. It is a wonderful place!
Just this last summer 7/99, I was blessed with the
chance to meet a great guy, Brian, and all of his
wonderful family, who live around that area also.
I love hearing about all of the facts and stories
they tell me about the area, thank you. I now have
been to the GCD area more times this year than all
my years of camping there combined. I enjoy seeing
the lazer light show every summer...it is great!
I will for sure be back there many more times in the
near and far future. The whole GCD area is beautiful,
and so is my new family!!
Thank you Thank you Thank you.
