Passages in the Yakima Gulag
Even though I did entirely share the political views of the woman, Mary Skinner was a very classy and nice lady She passed last week peacefully at home after losing her beloved husband, Dr. Skinner. I had occasion to meet him too, and he was a very nice man, they were one of those couples who were so loving it brings tears to your eyes. I know their families are sad to lose them, and this valley lost a good, honest and courageous legislator. She sometimes defied party line in the name of Constitution and Conscience.
She took risks and that is rare in politics these days no matter what the party is.
