Scope and Content

George Angus and Jan MacEachern Papers MS 27 George Angus and Jan MacEachern Papers George Angus [d. July 4, 1987] and Jan MacEachern [d. April 15, 1993] retired to Boulder City in December 1965 after "Mac" had served 30 years in the military. The two of them were models of community involvement and volunteerism whose presence at city council meetings often kept the council on its toes. Neither of them was afraid to ask direct and probing questions and their intimate knowledge of Boulder City's government made them formidable with facts. Between them they were involved with the Boulder City Development Commission, and the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 35 and American Legion Post 31 where Angus helped keep the Damboree celebrations going year after year. Both Jan and Angus received the first lifetime memberships in the Boulder City Chamber of Commerce and were officers in the Boulder City Democratic Club. They were also members of such progressive organizations as Common Cause, People for the American Way, the League of Women Voters of Nevada, and Jan worked in the Women's Democratic Club of Clark County. This collection of their papers includes records of the Boulder City Democratic Club, records from Angus's years as chairman of the Boulder City Charter Review Commission and the Development Commission, as well as documents related to the industrialization of Boulder City and Eldorado Valley. * * *
