Interesting

Although I never met Mary McDonald, her obituary in yesterday's paper was interesting (thanks for pointing it out, Jim). She was born in Ruston but grew up on Sunrise Beach near Gig Harbor. She often told the story of her dad rowing her mom and herself home and dumping them in the water upon arrival. Her parents homesteaded there in 1901 and she was born in 1906. Since I grew up on that area, I would have loved to hear her stories about the old days of the shoreline at both her homestead and here in Ruston...
