Photo of exterior of Rocket
Cafe in McMinnville. It appeared in 1974 Linfield
Oak Leaves yearbook. It was probably taken by Reid Blackburn, Linfield Class of 1974, in about 1973-1974.
Thanks to Eric Fricke for providing the photo. His firm, Print Northwest at 1142 SE
Baker in McMinnville, where the Rocket was located.
According to the Print NW
website, Eric is the firm's owner, who graduated from Linfield College in 1980
with a BA in Music Education. “After teaching Band and Choir at the high school
level for four years, he (made) a transition into the business world. His
experience teaching and working as an account executive for a large printer in
the Portland area gave him the knowledge he’s brought to Print Northwest.
Started from scratch as a one-man shop in 1988, Print Northwest’s goals of
impeccable customer service and quality printing have continued to attract both
repeat business and new clients."
