CONCRETE HIGH SCHOOL CLASS OF... UPDATED WITH NEW SCANNED IMAGES OF YEARBOOK AND INFORMATION. A GREAT PLACE FOR UPRIVER ALUMNI.Feb. 2008
WATCH FOR NEW CONTENT & POSTINGS AT THIS WEBSITE BY THE FIRST OF FEBRUARY. THESE WILL INCLUDE ARTICLES FOR THE UPRIVER COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER STARTING THIS MONTH. DAN "MR. REMISS ON THIS WEBSITE" ROYAL
It was my honor in 2007 to accept the title of Historian voted by the board of the Skagit County Pioneer Association, succeeding long time Dick Fallis in the position. See recent article from the Courier Times and Argus at this link titled: Past Meets Present.
I realize I've been extremely remiss the past twp years in adding meaningful content to this website and I try to explain why below. That doesn't stop me from feeling guilty for not sharing all the really good stuff I have available with you who check in regularly. Please forgive me, the book and the works with the Skagit Valley Genealogical Society will prove worth the wait here at The Stump Ranch. My commitment to the book project for the Skagit Valley Genealogical Society, "Skagit County and Its People!" 150 Years of Rich History & Heritage, is requiring my attention on any extra time I have available to the research of the project. So my goals for the Stump Ranch will have take a back seat until that book is done. I always look forward to communicating with anybody researching info on their families in the Birdsview community or any location in Skagit County (for that matter). I'm happy to share any information I have and glad to receive family trees, stories and photos; either for the Stump Ranch or the Skagit Valley Genealogical Society. E-Mail me at webmaster@stumpranchonline.com and I will get back to you as soon as I can. Note: you might get sent to a spamblocker, just follow the instructions on getting my attention.
LOCAL HISTORIAN is looking for obscure items that relate to Skagit County history, especially related upriver items. These include: Concrete Heralds & S.W. Courier Times (all years), early phone books, Polks
Directories, Wells Index, Metzger Maps, Concrete & Hamilton High School Annuals (class photos of all early upriver schools), postcards, books, pictures and histories of the area and families. I interview for posterity descendants of early families. If you are not willing to sell items (I can guarantee I will not resell them), I can copy or scan on sight. Please contact: Dan Royal Birdsview 826-6141 e-mail: dmoroyal@earthlink.net Website: ‘The Stump Ranch’ www.stumpranchonline.com Note: I will gladly share anything I might have on your ancestor or that I can find.
