Description
"It was in 1961 that Portland Community College was launched by Portland School Board members Howard Cherry, R.W. "Bill" deWeese, Ted Yaw, Mary Rieke, Edmund Jordan, William Wyse, and William Hutchinson. The Portland superintendent of schools at the time was Melvin Barnes. The school board members had varying ideas about what the infant college should or would be. But few of them foresaw that what they were creating would grow into what PCC has become. Leading the board into the community college age were deWesse and Cherry." -- p. 106 from the book "They Just Did It"
