The rare images, shot in color slide film and preserved in 2-inch-square cardboard frames arranged in a carousel tray, were put away and forgotten, later presumed lost. A friend of Short-Nottage's family re- cently rediscovered the slides, and she is graciously sharing them in advance of the 38th anniversary of the deadliest volcanic eruption in U.S. history. Fifty-seven people, nearly 7,000 big game animals such as deer and elk, and countless fish and birds died that unfor- gettable Sunday morning. The eruption scattered ash across a dozen states, and the lateral blast acted like a giant Etch A Sketch, wiping away the landscape within minutes. The de- bris avalanche, mudflows, and flooding caused destruction and damage in a 230-square-mile area. In Short-Nottage's collection of 34 slides, the devastation is juxtaposed with breathtaking beauty. The volcanic activity at Mount St. Helens, which picked up steam two months before the big blast, was allur- ing to Lyle Baker. He studied geology in college and al- though he wound up taking a different professional path, he never lost interest in the natural processes that change Earth’s structure. "The whole Mount St. Helens thing was like a dream come true, other than the 57 people who died," said Baker, who lives in West Salem with his wife Susan. Dec. 1944 — May 1, 2018 Linda, 73, died peace- fully May 1, 2018, with her family by her side at home in Silverton, while John Denver was playing in the background. Linda was born in December 1944 in Salem to parents Kenneth and Marian Barker. She was the baby in the family with two older sisters, Sue Ann Clark and Judith Lundgren. She was the typ- ical youngest in their family, the “princess,” and she held a special place To Place an Ad Phone: 503-399-6773 Classifieds: call 503-399-6789 Retail: call 503-399-6602 Legal: call 503-399-6789 Fax: 503-399-6706 Email: sanews@salem.gannett.com Missed Delivery?

COURTESY OF PEGGY SHORT-NOTTAGE He was mesmerized when shown ae- rial images of the mountain all those years ago by Tom Bockelman, Short- Nottage's father who worked as a com- mercial and portrait photographer in Salem. He asked for copies of the slides, and Bockelman obliged. Baker was blindsid- ed a few years later when one of Bockel- man's daughters contacted him and said their dad wanted the slides back. Bockelman may have mistakenly hand- ed over the originals. During a recent move, though, his wife was going through boxes of family keepsakes when she came across a car- ousel tray of color slides. Wes Baker shared digital images from the slides, with permission from the family. The slides are back in Short- Nottage's possession. "I was thrilled to get them back when I realized I didn't have them," Short-Not- tage said. “Forward This” appears Wednesdays and Sundays and highlights the people, places, and organizations of the Mid- Willamette Valley.
