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.
