Surfers and Fishermen

Rick Liston

Launching through the Surf is a collaborative project involving the Linfield University Department of Theatre and Communication Arts, the Jereld R. Nicholson Library, the Linfield Center for the Northwest, the Pacific City Arts Association, and the Pacific City Dorymen’s Association. The collaborators and project partners thank Dave Larkins of Pacific City, who served as the Dorymen’s Association liaison for the project, their Linfield colleagues who provided assistance, and the individuals who graciously shared their stories and memorabilia for inclusion in this historical collection. A special note of appreciation goes to Kathleen Spring whose vision, expertise, and leadership made possible the digital archives section of this project.

Support for the project has been provided in part by the following: two grants from the Keck Community Engaged Research to Classroom Program from the Linfield Center for the Northwest, five Linfield University Summer Student-Faculty Collaborative Research Grants, an Arts Build Communities Grant from the Oregon Arts Commission, grants from the Yamhill County Cultural Coalition and the Tillamook County Cultural Coalition, a Cultural Development Grant from the Oregon Cultural Trust, and generous gifts from Nancy Whelan and an anonymous individual donor.
