McCoy Letters

It's an honor that Leroy Faling is a Legacy Inductee to the inaugural class of the Hilander Hall Of Fame. I nominated him this year. We initially missed that he was already inducted into a state-level Hall Of Fame but our Advisory Board caught it just before we started the Voting Phase.

The time has come to build our community-owned Hall of Fame – brick by brick, nomination by nomination!

Hilander HOF Advisors,Thank you again for accepting our invitation to help build the Hilander Hall Of Fame (HHoF) - a digital institution created to empower the Hilander community in recognizing over 100 years of history. On behalf of all the Trustees, we are deeply grateful for your involvement in this exciting experiment.

In 2012, my great uncle Kirby McCoy, facing his final days, challenged me to "do something great for the kids of Kelso." That challenge birthed the Hilander Hall of Fame (HHoF), a digital institution celebrating over a century of Kelso's rich history – from the Cowlitz Indian Tribe's Tiahanakshih village to the '83 State Football Championship to legendary Joe Stewart.
