Queen Elizabeth II,1983




1983 Saw Jack serving as chairman of the Royal Visit by HRH Elizabeth II of Great Britain and her husband Prince Charles. Here, the Queen and Prince Philip descend the stairs of Air Force 1 into a typically soggy Seattle day. Note that the Queen is carrying her own umbrella.


 Unfortunately this shot is a bit blurry, but here is Jack holding an umbrella over Governor John Spellman, while the Queen still holds her own umbrella. Your webmaster was in the receiving line, carrying Washington State's First Lady's purse. (Ask him, he'll tell you the story.) 

 


Here's a composite photo of the Restaurant Association staff who helped check people into the RoyalReception held at Seattle's Westin Hotel, later in the day.  (l to r are)  Tracy Alishio, Linda Macintosh, Mary Pederson, Carol Wright, and Debbie O'Connor.
