Today is tomorrow's good old days
Kerri Thoreson
Over the weekend, I posted a 2009 photo from a roast for Cliff Hayes’ retirement from the Post Falls Police Department on my Facebook page. Chief Hayes is pictured with the group who spoke at his roast, a who’s who of former and current at the time elected officials. Former mayors Kent Helmer, Frank Henderson — both of whom became Kootenai County commissioners — Jim Hammond, who became a state senator and mayor of Coeur d'Alene, and Clay Larkin, along with then Kootenai County Sheriff Rocky Watson, former Kootenai County Commissioner and State Senator Dick Compton, incoming Post Falls Police Chief Scot Haug, FBI Special Agent Don Robinson and representing the Post Falls City Council, Scott Grant and me.
My dear friend Cliff would go on to be elected Kootenai County clerk, serving just three years until his death at age 62 in 2013.
