Mr. Blegen graduated from Cascade Locks High School in 1949. He lived in the Gorge area most of his life. In the early 50s, he liked to race stock cars on dirt tracks. He had many jobs throughout his life, he worked on the construction of many dams and was a logger for many years. In his later years, he was member of the Cascade Locks Alumni Association and became the Cascade Locks Pirates' number one fan. He traveled as far as Pendleton, Ore., to watch them play. He was given a lifetime pass to all their sporting events. He also live to watch Nascar.

Mr. Blegen is survived by his children, Glen, Spokane, Glenna, White Salmon, Karl, Orofino, Idaho, and Kevin, Lewiston, Idaho; and many grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

There will be a private family service at a later date.
