BY-GONE ERA OF COMMUNITY & CIVIC VOLUNTEERS Remembering the late Frank “Sully” Sullivan For the American Insurance 100th Anniversary we took a look back at the past generation that worked as volunteers to improve our communities. Few of us can remember, but community, civic, fraternal and military support groups received a big boost beginning in 1946 when the young men came home from WWII. Their lives had been on-hold during four years of war and they were in a hurry to get back to civilian life, get a job and career going, start a family and reach start living their American Dream. Frank “Sully” Sullivan was one of a large group of young men that returned home with military training that taught a new generation how to work as a team. After returning home, that training was focused on building better lives, better communities and a better world as volunteers. Being a volunteer was good for business, a way to meet more people and connect socially for fun. So, they volunteered... Sully was a natural leader and loved to volunteer in many of organizations. He volunteered and joined arms his fellow members to roll up their sleeves and get to work – each taking their turn to lead a Community Service project or fill the leadership chairs in Civic Clubs. He took his turn and rose through the ranks to serve as President of: Junior Chamber of Commerce (1955) , The Lewiston Chamber of Commerce (1964), The Lewiston Boys Club (1960,61), The Lewiston Roundup Association (1972), Idaho National Guard Assoc (1957), Potentate of Calam Temple of the Shrine (1971) and professionally, Idaho State Independent Insurance Agents Association (1968). And, they had fun! Downtown Lewiston was a bustling and fun “place to be” from the 1940s into the 1960s. Downtown was where everyone went for the best retail stores, cafes and restaurants, and movies and entertainment. The favorite places for business lunches and after-hours dinner, drinks and parties were the Elks Lodge, Bollinger Hotel and Lewis Clark Hotel. See who you know in these pictures – enjoy!
