COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL September 30, 2015 Cottage Grove Retrospective CLIP N' CARRY GARAGE SALES A look back at Sentinel stories from 30 and 60 years ago Oct. 2, 1985: Boxcar takes a ride Local man takes a jaunt to Siberia “We called ourselves the Lost Children Sept. 27, 1995 of the Baikal,” said Patterson, laughing. Pat Patterson’s love of the outdoors has taken him to more than his share of out- of-the-way campsites. But one of his latests jaunts makes “out of the way” seem like an understatement. The Cottage Grove city councilman and longtime scout leader traveled halfway around the world this summer as part of a team of American scouters invited to help promote the scouting in the former Soviet Union. And while some American scouters spent hours in meetings on how to organize, fund and administer scout programs, Pat- terson pulled a plum assignment: Working directly with the Siberian Scouts on the shores of Lake Baikal. Monroe St. resident David Mrvich eyes the sleeping boxcar which came to life last Thursday. Twenty-seven fl at cars had pushed the sleeping boxcar off the tracks. It had been idle for nearly a decade.
