July 2005

Some of the wildest threats and accusations were bandied about last week during three public hearings on the monorail and the contract that had become the flash point for all of those who have hated even the bare mention of the word "monorail."

The uncontrolled outrage of a third of each of the three meetings overshadowed those who remain in support of a monorail, just not the way its financing worked out.

In Loving Memory

Alfreida "Freida" Bancroft

November 17, 1941-June 21, 2005

Born in Galveston, Texas, Freida has been resident of West Seattle since 1974. She is survived by one daughter, three grandchildren, two sisters, four brothers, nieces, nephews and many friends. At Freida's request, no services were held.

We will greatly miss Freida. She was truly a beautiful person and everyone us that had the opportunity to have her in our lie was truly blessed.
