Wahkiakum County Eagle: Downriver Dispatches
Dear Readers: Last week’s obituaries made me pause and reflect. Chuck Parker, Liz Goodfellow Sears, and Ken Kandoll. All meant so much to the area and all ended good, meaningful lives after doing so much for others. If you’re looking for something to help you pause and reflect, may I suggest you get a copy of this poetry book, Skyfixer, or borrow it from the Appelo Archives Library? If you have not been to the second-floor library, how about spending an afternoon there? You’ll find book collections on logging, Pacific NW history, WW II, Alaska, women’s fiction, western fiction, and more. Membership ($15) gets you a year’s worth of reading.
