Several years ago, I attended the Community Conversation on immigration at the Tri-City Herald. The woman next to me said, "We've had immigration for over 300 years. Why is it a problem now?" and "English is the only language." This is one of the most stunning examples of narrow-minded ignorance and provincialism I have heard in Eastern Washington -- until a Kennewick City Council candidate advocated his Final Solution: "Shoot them at the border."
After the discussion on immigration, I audited professor Robert Bauman's class, "Immigration, Migration and Ethnicity" at Washington State University Tri-Cites.

She moved to Portland about six years ago when her husband Dave was transferred to a new job. They returned a few months ago.
Now she plans to continue her involvement with the monthly downtown Kennewick ArtWalk that she co-founded in 2003.
