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.
