Cecil D. Andrus
Cecil Dale Andrus (born August 25, 1931) is an American politician and member of the Democratic Party who served as Governor of Idaho for 14 years; from 1971 to 1977, and again from 1987 to 1995. He also served in Washington as U.S. Secretary of the Interior from 1977 to 1981, during the Carter Administration. Andrus lost his first gubernatorial election in 1966, but won four subsequent elections (in 1970, 1974, 1986, & 1990) and served 14 years as governor, the most in the state's history. In public life he was noted for his strong conservationist and environmental views and accomplishments,〔 and a wildlife preserve established in 1993 in Washington County, Idaho, is named the "Cecil D. Andrus Wildlife Management Area" in his honor.
==Early life==
Born in Hood River, Oregon, Andrus was the middle of three children of Hal and Dorothy Andrus, with older brother Steve and younger sister Margaret. They later lived near Junction City, on a farm without electricity. During World War II, the family moved to Eugene in early 1942, when "Cece" was 11, where Hal and his brother Bud opened a machine shop to refurbish sawmill equipment.〔 Andrus graduated from Eugene High School in 1948 at age 16 and attended Oregon State College in Corvallis, where he majored in engineering in his freshman year.
At age 17, he got a good summer job with the local utility in 1949, and late in August, he eloped to Reno with Carol Mae May, his high school sweetheart.〔 Andrus had just turned 18, and she was 16 months younger. He decided to keep working and not return to college.〔 Retrieved 2015-06-24. Caxton Press ISBN 0-87004-505-9〕 Following the outbreak of the Korean War, he enlisted in the U.S. Naval Reserves in February 1951, and served as an electronics technician aboard patrol aircraft until 1955. After his discharge from the Navy, Andrus moved to Orofino in North Central Idaho, where he worked in the timber industry in a variety of jobs at a sawmill his father co-owned.〔 After the sawmill closed, Andrus switched to the insurance industry in 1963,〔 and moved his family down the Clearwater River to Lewiston in 1966.
