MOSES LAKE – David Gillett said it wasn’t easy, but he got help and he made it. The place he turned to for help was the Columbia Basin Job Corps.
The legislation creating the Job Corps program was signed 50 years ago this week, and the Moses Lake campus celebrated the anniversary Wednesday. Gillett and fellow graduates of the Moses Lake program were among the speakers.
“I was actually homeless,” Gillett said, staying in a shelter in Salem, Ore. Then David talked to a Job Corps recruiter.
