I got a big kick out of this clever effort on someone’s part to put a Christmas spin on the Wallie Funk photo display at the Anacortes Museum. Someone tacked a Santa hat onto the photo cutout of a young Wallie Funk performing publisher/editor duties at the Anacortes American in the 1950s. Funk, now retired, was present Friday night when this photo was taken. The Anacortes native moved on from Fidalgo Island to a 30-plus-year career as newspaper publisher in Oak Harbor on Whidbey Island. Anyone who knows Wallie knows that he is a BIG fan of the holiday season. I think an exciting element of the Wallie Funk collection would be samples of the unique Christmas cards he created and mailed to family and friends for several decades.
