Smiles of joy

Among countless photos taken during the February 4 parade for 6-year-old Madelyn Kuhnlein is this mother/daughter classic by Chris Terrell, publisher of Anacortes Magazine. On February 1 Madelyn had her last chemo treatment for leukemia. A downtown parade was held in Anacortes to celebrate the news that Madelyn is cancer free! The “secret” parade, organized by Madelyn’s friends at the Anacortes Police Department, drew hundreds of curbside co-celebrants and dozens of vehicles including fire trucks and police cars. Pictured here with Madelyn is her mother, Lisa. Father Peter shot a few photos of his own from a front seat vantage point.
