Richard "Dick" Truly, Sen. Rosemary McAuliffe.
UW Bothell, with the assistance of Senator Rosemary McAuliffe, formally honored Richard "Dick" Truly and his family during Convocation on September 23. Convocation, an annual ceremony to welcome new students, was the fitting event for the honor as Dick and his family's many contributions (including the sale of the Boone Truly Farm, upon which the UW Bothell-Cascadia Community College now resides), above all, benefit students.
