David is celebrating his 46th birthday today, one he shares with his brother Mike, five years his senior. He planned to get his column in, but had to pick up our son who was sick at school. That means he gets a “Get out of writing your column FREE” card. He promised to return next week, a little older, and share his thoughts on senior living.
My daughter was off to her new school this morning. Lots of angst and excitement, (not to mention a lot of hair products) as her class from Whatcom Middle School makes the move to Fairhaven. The loss of their storied school has certainly left a void, one that will take patience and fortitude, not to mention money to fill. It’s my understanding that they hope to rebuild WMS and preserve its historic legacy. This will take time, but the school’s credo WASTE NOT THY HOUR will resound in the hearts of the thousands of students (and their teachers) and will serve them well wherever they go.
So it seems ironic that in the same month that we are mourning the loss of this historic site, we celebrate the grand opening of a new landmark - Whatcom Museum at the Lightcatcher. Located at the corner of Grand and Flora this spectacular new venue will serve as a showcase for arts and history, nourishing the hearts and minds of generations to come. Children young and old are sure to enjoy the Family Interactive Gallery (FIG) and the Museum has two remarkable art exhibitions to take in. Plus, if you go on Saturday, Nov 14th it's free, compliments of Key Bank.
