Centennial fete. “Hundreds of people were drawn to Anacortes High School (AHS) in August of 2006 for a day-long celebration marking the school’s 100th anniversary. In addition to tours and class renunions, the celebration featured static displays in Williams Gym. This table featuring graduation photos from the Thirties was among the displays. Kudos to Centennial Committee members Kris Lytton, Tom Thompson and Chris Borgen (superintendent) and their volunteer team for putting together a first class event.”
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.
