Sixty Years Ago

A two-and-a-half year old child was found wandering in the Washington Flats area, after spending the night outside alone. The child, Leonard Malray, had wandered away from his home in Coulee Dam about 8:00 a.m., Thursday morning, apparently following a set of car tracks made in the fresh snow. He was found asleep Friday morning and was taken to Coulee Dam Hospital for evaluation.
