OUR ANCESTORS LIVE IN OUR STORIES AND HEARTS – Laurie Lane shared memories of her great-grandmother, Louise Johnson, other Johnsons, Andersons and the Swedes, Danes, Finns and Norwegians who settled in the Skagit Valley 100 and more years ago at the annual Pleasant Ridge Cemetery Memorial Day service Monday. Lori Buher, cemetery district secretary, held up Johnson family pioneer era photos for the good size gathering to see. – Photo by Ken Stern
