Roberta Graves Larsen was born on Aug. 8, 1936, at the home of Dr. Blackwell, which is now known as the Blackwell House on Sherman Avenue. She grew up in the home of her grandparents, Richard and Iverina Rasmussen, with her mother Joyce on Cougar Bay. The Rasmussen legend on the Heritage Wall at the Coeur d’Alene Library describes them as among the first settlers in Cougar Bay in the early 1920s.
