Earlier this week I had the honor of presenting the inaugural Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Medal of Distinguished Service to Donna and Michael Brathovde of Ravensdale. The couple contributed over 2,000 hours of public service to create the Ravensdale History Trail, a walking trail commemorating the natural history and heritage of the area. Donna and Michael were also instrumental in the planning of the 100th Anniversary of the Ravensdale Mining Disaster, a ceremony commemorating those that died in the explosion.
For 39 years Michael and Donna Brathovde have resided in Ravensdale. Their work has both captured the complete history of the area they love and brought the past alive for generations to come. I would encourage everyone to visit the trail, located at the Gracie Hansen Community Center, 27132 S.E. Ravensdale Place, to experience the fascinating history of Ravensdale.
 Michael Brathovde reads a narrative written from the miners perspective at the Ravensdale Mining Disaster.
