Radio Stories
Sam Moore, artist
Sometimes it’s good just to do what you do and if somebody likes it, that’s great. You’re not doing it for anybody other than yourself. You know, some of the greatest artists never got paid, and some of them never sold a painting in their life.
Shannon Smith, dairy farm owner
We have an all guernsey herd.
Mel Blankers, Nooksack Fire Department Chief
[The river] actually divides our department in half and there are only two crossings.
Susan Sloan, gardener
I love beauty and this area is beautiful, but you can make it even more beautiful by adding vegetable gardens and flowers.
