Education was shared passion for senator, sister
Long ago, during Henry M. "Scoop" Jackson's early years in Congress, lawmakers could earn honoraria for giving speeches without reporting how much they made or how it was spent.
Jackson, first elected to the U.S. House of Representatives at 28 in 1940, gave that money away. Recipients were college-bound students from his hometown of Everett.
One who was helped by Jackson's selflessness was Seth Dawson, Snohomish County's prosecutor from 1982 to 1994.
