I was fortunate to be a Scout in Troop 160 when Judge Yeattes was a Scoutmaster. He was wise and patient with our rowdy bunch and displayed those same qualities when he served on the District Court bench. He was a great man who will be missed. My dearest condolences to his family.

Somehow we forgot to put in Dad's accomplishments was how much he enjoyed gardening! He'd overplant tomatoes just to be sure to have enough.
