DUNNEWIN 70th

Earl "Duke" Dunnewin and Dorothy "Dot" Garvin were married in a little outdoor wedding garden in La Sierra, California, on June 5, 1950. Duke worked as a machinist for a few years. Because of his talent for detail work, a friend suggested he become dental lab tech. He worked at this profession until he retired in 2002.

Duke is also a World War II veteran and former prisoner of war. He won several medals including a Bronze Star and two Purple Hearts. After retirement, he and Dot moved to Colville, Washington, where they lived until 2014, when their daughter moved them back to California. Then in October 2019 they moved back to the Colville area to live with their son, Mick. 

The Dunnewin family includes their daughter, Missy Holmes of Sacramento, California, and their son, Mick, of Valley, Washington.
