This isn’t my photo, but I couldn’t resist using it. Pictured here with a commemorative plaque is Andrew Covert, a sophomore at Anacortes High School. Andrew was named Salvation Army Youth of the Year last weekend at a regional youth council held in Eatonville, WA. Andrew, who is the son of Anacortes Corps Captains Mike and Beth Paugh, received top honors among several hundred young adult volunteers from Washington, Idaho and Montana. Cited by the Salvation Army selection committee were his Christian witness and his willingness to volunteer at the Anacortes Corps and in the community. Andrew has also worked at Camp Arnold in Eatonville for the past two summers, with plans to do so again this year. Among those in attendance for the presentation, which was a surprise to Andrew, were his parents and his grandparents, Salvation Army Majors Ed and Dorothy Covert of Sun City, California. Pictured with Andrew in this photograph are (l. to r.) Lt. Col. Terry Griffin, Divisional Cmdr. for the NW Division; Capt. Rob Reardon, Divisional Youth Secretary for the NW Division; Lt. Col. Don Bell, Territorial Chief Secretary, Territorial Headquarters, Long Beach, CA. The photo was taken by Captain John Chamness.
