What causes did Lewis care about most?

JOY WIRSCH

Lew liked to do community things.  He and I were involved in Chewelah Community Celebrations.  That organization produced Festival of Lights for the Christmas celebrations.  He came up with the idea of providing, for the kids and parents as well, a Breakfast With Santa to coincide with the beginning of the season.  Not only would there be spectacular lighting in the beautiful park, but now something special for the kiddos.  He went to  businesses to round up donations of food for a great breakfast, keep sakes for the the kids to take home and, of course, and a visit from Santa Claus.  He also came up with an organization to provide cooks for the event.  Not that that wasn't enough he also got a Spokane TV local celebrity, Tony Bogan, to MC the event.  She was awesome with her short stories, song leading and enthusiasm.  Later Santa was available that Saturday and Sunday, as well as the following 3 weekends for children to visit Santa at the old Boy Scout Cottage in the park, which I had decorated with old antiques,and Christmas stuff  to look like Santa's cottage at the North Pole.  Santa was there along with elves, candy, cookies and hot cocoa. This event, together with Tony, carried on for several years.  It truly was a milestone happening in Chewleah, and I was blessed to be married to a man with so much heart.
