In a related story with a touch of the Wallowa in it, Jennfier Gibbs of the Wallowa History Center found sheet music for a song written by a Wobbly striker in Centralia, Washington in 1919. There the Wobblies and the American Legion fought and killed, and several union men went to jail. One of them, Eugene Barnett, wrote a song to his beloved while in jail, and his daughter later wrote a biography of him. Jennifer tracked it all down, and will tell us the story on a January 21 "Tuesday Talk" at the Josephy Center.

Thirty years ago, on February 4, 1995, Nancy Knoble, one of the three breast cancer survivors to reach the summit will share a PBS documentary made of this historic event at our Tuesday talk February 4, 2025.
