I’ve recently been working on a tribute to the beloved Skagit Valley historian, Dick Fallis, whose stories of local history appeared in the Skagit Valley Herald, The Argus, and the Puget Sound Mail, which he once owned. This is a reading of his story entitled, “Founding Women, Pioneers, Remembered on Mother’s Day,” from the book Bridgeside: Selected Stories of Dick Fallis, Skagit County Historian.
While this story may seem a rather unlikely Mother’s Day tribute from more than 40 years ago, I think you’ll find it entertaining nonetheless.
