Biographical Note

Long time residents of Whatcom county, George and Lois Garlick, are well-known in the local community for their environmental work.

George Garlick (1911-2006) was born at Mountain View, near Ferndale, Washington to Edsil and Mary Garlick. He later attended the University of Washington and obtained a degree in Fisheries there. George was later drafted during World War II and sent to England in a hospital unit and then to France and Germany. After the war he came back to Ferndale and worked for Western Washington University as a science technician in the Biology department until his retirement.

Lois Garlick was born in 1920 in Seattle Washington to Myron and Hazel Buckman. She grew up in the Queen Anne neighborhood and later obtained a degree in Biology at the University of Washington. Around this time she met and married her first husband. They had five children together and eventually bought a farm on the Mount Baker Highway and opened the Circle-F Machine Shop there. Lois began working in Bellingham to help put the children through school and came to work for WWU as a science technician in the Science Education Department.

George and Lois often worked together. They shared a mutual love of science, the environment and boating and married in 1972. They were involved with the early development of Shoreline Management and later the Clean Water Alliance. They also helped begin the North Cascades Audubon Society in the 1970s and worked to protect birds and wildlife in the area. Lois operated Raptor Roost, a bird rehabilitation business, for many years and George volunteered as a steward of the Chuckanut Island Preserve. They were active in public education as well.

George’s grandfather, Edwin Lopas, came to Whatcom County in the 1870s and found a land claim in the Mountain View area with the help of an earlier settler and moved his family in while completing a cabin on the property. He filled many roles in the community including county commissioner, postmaster, bank director, and board member for the Mountain View school district. He built and temporarily owned and operated the Mountain View Store and Post Office, and later the East Mountain View Shingle Mill. The mill was successful and he later bought the West Mountain View Shingle Mill as well. Edsil Garlick, came to work at the shingle mill and in 1902 married Edwin's youngest daughter, Mary Lopas. Edwin deeded the couple an 80 acre farm in the Mountain View area and they started a small dairy and farmed there.

Lois’s grandparents, Ella and Henry Broders, lived in from Albany, Oregon where her grandfather, owned the H. Broders butcher shop. Their daughter Hazel, married Myron Buckman. They lived in Seattle where Myron owned and operated M.F. Buckman Machine Works.

Content Description

The George and Lois Garlick family papers document the lives and work of two long-time environmental activists and residents of Whatcom County, Washington. The collection includes a wide range of materials generated by George and Lois, members of the Lopas, Garlick, Broders and Buckman families, and by local historian Gloria Newman. Records include correspondence, boat drawings, writings, scrapbooks, court proceedings, log books, diaries, clippings and articles, newsletters, business and financial records, memberships, photographs, and audio and video recordings. The collection spans the period 1821-2006, with the bulk of the materials dated 1930-1999.

The majority of the collection comprises records generated by George and Lois Garlick. Their personal papers include George's boat-building plans, and writings and scrapbooks created by Lois. The majority of George and Lois' papers pertain to their environmental work. These records contain files relating to legal cases and hearings about shoreline management and land use in Whatcom County (including Cherry Point, Chuckanut Bay and Lake Whatcom) and the Garlick's interest and activities in wildlife protection and stream conservation. The collection includes logbooks and correspondence from the Garlick's work as stewards of Chuckanut Island Preserve, and logbooks maintained by Lois during her bird rehabilitation work. Records from local community action groups include correspondence and newsletters from the North Cascades Audubon Society, of which the Garlick's were founding members. The Garlick's were also involved in work with Western Washington University through the Huxley College of Environmental Science and Institute for Freshwater Studies. The collection also contains materials documenting Lois' work for the WWU Vehicle Research Institute into energy-efficient cars, including a trip to the Bonneville salt flats in 1982. Photographs include Lois and George's personal photographs and a large number of images of birds, wildlife, and scenic locations in Whatcom County.

The records generated by the Garlick, Lopas, Broders and Buckman files consist largely of photographs. Subjects include family and friends, boats, Mountain View (including the Lopas family farm, and shingle mill), Panama, H. Broders' Butcher Shop, M.F. Buckman's Machine Shop, and the Panama-Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco. Other materials include records related to the Mountain View Store in the Lopas papers. The Broders and Buckman families papers include materials related to the Queen City Yacht club, “My Haz-El-Lo I/II," the family boat, and Myron F. Buckman's Machine shop.

The Gloria Trevino Newman Interpretive materials comprise a collection of research materials primarily documenting George's memories of the Garlick and Lopas families history in the Mountain View area. These research materials also include information concerning the Broders and Buckman families, Nooksack River, and Chuckanut Bay, and copies of photographs that are not contained elsewhere in the collection. Gloria Newman's Interpretative materials also contain audiocassette recordings of interviews and oral histories with George and Lois. These recordings include contributions from other local residents and historians including Fred Sutcliffe, Inez Johnson, Chris Friday, Tim Wahl, Jeff Jewell, and Neill Mullen.
