Flowers for memorial
Walter Garland speaks
Among Memorial Day events in the Anacortes area today were back-to-back services at Grand View and Fernhill cemeteries, hosted by American Legion Post 13. Walter Garland presided over the ceremonies, with Betsy Mosley leading through several songs. To see more photos, click on Facebook logo, home page.
A fourth generation Skagit County native who was moved kicking and screaming from this island community in 1960. I finally reclaimed an Anacortes address in 1980, and I have been in constant celebration of my return since that time. Many of us who call Anacortes home love Fidalgo Island for its natural assets: among them are rugged beaches, pristine lakes, thousands of acres of forestland and some awesome views of the Skagit Valley and surrounding islands. Another element of my love affair with this community is its people, both natives and immigrants. They will “star” in many of my journal entries.
