ALLISON F. CORLE

Allison F Coble was born in Flora. Ill, on March 2, 1901 In this town he grew up and receiy- ed his education. When the First World War broke out Joe was im- patient to enlist, and in 1913 join ed the Marines at Denver, Colo. He was sent to California for training at Mare Island. There he witnesser a very dramatic hap pening when the USS California was launched. This was the largest of Navy battleships and, sliding down the ways, she broke loose from restraining tugs and shot helplessly across the lay into the Vellejo dock-fortunately not a major catastrophe.
 Travelling in local and South American waters aboard the USS New York, he spent four years in the Marines. It was during that time that a buddy dubbed him with the name of Joe" by which he is now popularly known. After his discharge he was em- ployed in Tacoma by the L. E. Wilksson Company in service sta tion work, car repairing, and held car dealerships for four years.
 Going north to Seattle he en- tered into partnership with Rudy Poth and together they operated a restaurant until it was sold in 1891. In May, 1928. he married Miss Helen Askelson, and the new lywedS resided in Seattle for cever- al years.
 For time Joe did miscellaneous work, then decided to look for work in the Territory. Going to Cordova first, it was not long be- fore he was working on the Cop per River Railroad-a job he held for two years At the end of that time, he went to Fairbanks There he found a town in which he de- cided to locate, so he sent for his family in 1886 They have since remained and are busy raising three boys, Ronald, Gary and Lloyd.
 MT. Cobla mined for a couple of years, prospecting on No 13 Be- low on Dome Creek. He finally gave up mining and worked for short time in Fairbanks, when he purchased one-half interest in the Pioneer Cab Company. In 194l he became it's sole owner ard manager and has been in busi- ness since that time.
 At present a member of the city council, Cohle has been active in mems service and civic groups. Acquiring his interest in politics from his father, who campaigned for constable under Republican administrations, Coble filed as Representative at the instigation of Party officials. He ran in 1946

LAWRENCE ". MEATH

A western boy, Lawrence Will jam Meath was born in Tacoma, Wash, on January 10, 1909 There he was educated and secured his first job as messenger for a local bank in 1926. He was employed for nearly seven years and had been promoted to sayings teller when he resigned and left for a trip to California.
 Returning from San Francisco, Larry took a job in a Tacoma sawmill worked in the County Treasurer's office. and finally was given a job in the Disbursing Of flee of the State Welfare Depart ment by former Democratic en- ployer. However, he felt so "un- comfortable in this position, since his father and uncle were prom irent Republicans and very active in state work, that he lasted only six months. He went to Fairbanks in the spring of 1886, to visit a brother. Having written letters of application to various Terri torial banks before going, he was not entirely strange to bank official George Wesch who en- ployed him immediately in the First National Bank Here he was employed until leaving to form a partnership with a broth er-in-law for the purchase of the Fairbanks Cigar Store in 1945. Meath now manages this we'll known concern.
 On June IS, 1888. he was mar lied to Miss Lucille Lavery, daughter of prominent interior family, whose father had been one of the early merchants of Dawson and Fairbanks. To the Meaths were born two children Robert and Marian. Mrs. Meath and children are in the States at present, but expect to join Larry in Juneau before the close of the session.
 A former member of the City Council, active in civic affairs and in Republican Club Work, MT. Meath was prevailed upon to file last spring by Fairbanks Repub- licans. This he did, received the nomination and was elected. He now sits in the House, a member of the Fourth Division delegation to this 1947 Session.

ROBERT HooPEs

ROBERT HOOPES
 Globe, Arizona, was the birth place of Robert Hoopes, born Feb ruary IT, 1903. When a very small l boy his parents moved to San Francisco and then to Modesto where they made their home. Bob commenced school there, later fin ished grade school and attended high school in San Diego, and finally graduated from an auto mobile school in Los Angeles in 1920.
 He took his :e,-st job in San Diego where he was shop fore man for the Hazard Construction Company. He remained there for seven years. An ardent hunter and fisherman, Hoopes heard of the op- portunity to pursue these pleasures in Alaska, left California, and one day found himself in Fairbanks.
 Employed by the Fairbanks Ex- ploration Company, Bob became so fond of the interior company that he decided to stay, and opened the Fairbanks Garage in 1928. Since that time, with ex- ception of a few brief trips to the States, Hopes has been in the garage business. In 1941 he sold his garage and hired out with the U. s. Engineering Depart ment as master mechanic on their project at Ladd Field.
 In 1942, Miss Rae Stevens, daughter of prominent Juneau business people, came north on summer tour. Meeting MT. Hoopes, it was not long before they dis covered mutual tastes in outdoor activities, hunting and fishing. On November 24th they were mar ried in Fairbanks. MT. Hoopes has a son, Robert John, by a former marriage, and they are looking forward to seeing him after term ination of his schooling in Los Angeles this spring.
 For over a year Bob operated the Star Cab and Service Sta ton, which was purchased after leaving government employment, then he sold out and gave all his time and effort to the construc- tion of a new concrete garage and service station. This he will oper ate under the name of 'Hoopes Auto Service" and plans are that it will open for business about May l.
 Party "boss" Harry Phillips first interested Bob in politics, and Mrs. Hopes urged him to file for the first time in 1944 on the Demo- cratic ticket. He received the nomination, and was elected to the 1945 Session, Special Session of 1946 and reelected (the only
