Historical Note

Vernor Martin Sackett was born in Jefferson, Oregon in 1898 and graduated from Willamette University in 1922. Next to his portrait in the school yearbook, The Wallulah is the comment "He owns a whole flock of cameras that won't eat anything but embarrassing situations. Sings a deep 'sonorous' bass, sells pictures, trades kodaks…."

Vernon died in 1965, and was survived by his wife, Mary Notson Sackett, sister of Robert Notson.
