(Editor's Note: This was Tim St. Clair's last story for the West Seattle Herald. Tim was a regular bus rider to downtown and about anywhere else. He did this story just a short time ago.)
With gas prices topping $3 per gallon, there are a lot more people riding buses these days, said a Metro bus driver, who wishes to remain anonymous.
Metro recently released figures showing ridership was up 7 percent between 2006 and 2007. That translates into an average of 365,000 boardings per weekday.
Jack, 91 and Estelle (Vi), 94, Ryan celebrated their 69th wedding anniversary with a small dinner at their home. Celebrating with them was three of their four daughters (Joan Nelson, Pamela Lybarger and Michelle Glen), two grandchildren (Robert Teman and Rhonda Gonzales) and twp great grandchildren (Qaden and Taylor Gonzlaes).
Jack had decided to keep this anniversary a little low key. He is saving up for a big "blow out celebration" for their 70th!
Salty is a "lab mix", 8 1/2 years old, and loves to swim and chase the Frisbee. "She's still quite the puppy" said, Kelly and Katie Gunch. "We got her from the pound and as soon as she got near water she dove in. That's how she got her name." The family walks in Lincoln Park with Salty often.

The Mountaineers have been using Camp Long as an instructional/field trip area for decades. Camp Long was, at the time of its construction, unique in the Western United States with regard to its purpose-built facilities for climbing instruction; generations of local climbers have learned to climb here.
Tim St. Clair would have hated this edition of the West Seattle Herald. The only place Tim thought his name should be in the newspaper was in a byline. He would have complained that too much was given to one side and there was no "other side" provided to readers.
No Tim, there is no "other" side because we can find no one in this community, nor in Utah from which you sprang, nor from anywhere Tim St.
What a loss for all of us in this community. As a subscriber to the Herald from the day we moved to West Seattle, I can say Tim will be truly missed. I look forward to seeing the tribute issue. My heart goes out to Tim's family and friends.

Tim's passing is a great loss.
Tim St. Clair, 57, a legend in West Seattle journalism and 20-year West Seattle Herald reporter died Monday night, Feb. 25, a victim of pancreatic cancer.
The outpouring of grief, comment and concern for his family and friends was overwhelming both in scope and depth.
St. Clair had been moved that day from Swedish Hospital to Virginia Mason's Bailey-Boushay House. Tim worked for the Herald and Robinson Newspapers for what would have been 20 years later this year.
"Tim St Clair was the consummate reporter," said Publisher Jerry Robinson.
