Scope and Contents

Includes correspondence and related materials, as filed by Atiyeh, regarding the Veterans Memorial Coliseum, to and from Gill Frey, a member of the Veterans Focus Group, as well as from Roland Fisher. Other correspondence includes a letter from an Ohio man asking for help with his felony conviction for domestic violence, a copy of Atiyeh's letter to the U.S. Consul General to China in support of a woman seeking a tourist visa, correspondence regarding Atiyeh's support of William Martin Fast as regards court sentencing, a note from Oregon State Senator Ted Ferrioli, and correspondence regarding payment for a friendly political bet Atiyeh had made with Gert Boyle. Though most correspondence is with individuals whose first or last names begin with 'E' or "F,' there are several exceptions to this. Also includes a program for the 1998 Ex-Newsboys Association Banquet, at which Atiyeh spoke (he was a newspaper boy for the News Telegram as a high school student). Many records include brief explanatory notes written by Atiyeh before he donated his papers.
