Harry "Bub" Mishler, 84, died May 3, 2001, in Portland, Oregon. He was born February 18, 1917, in Hubbard, Oregon, and was raised in Sheridan, Oregon. Bub was a Mennonite and entered Civilian Public Service in 1943. He was one of the first group of CPS men to be trained as smokejumpers and jumped all three years of the program.

Bub, who worked as a logger before entering CPS, returned to that profession after the war. He moved to Portland in 1949 and worked as a glazier until his retirement.
