Josephine Webb was greeted by well wishers during a reception held in her honor at North Idaho College on Friday, March 27. When she was on North Idaho College’s board of trustees in the 1970s, a developer presented a proposal to build condominiums on the property at the head of the Spokane River. Webb and other community members launched a battle against the proposal. The developer backed out and NIC was able to purchase the lakeshore from Pack River Lumber Co. in 1977, preserving that beachfront for public use. Story here . (Kathy Plonka/Spokesman-Review)
