Book geek, now an author, visits his old school
Tim Kelly/Staff photo
Jamie Ford, the author of 'Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet' who attended Marcus Whitman Junior High School in the 1980s, speaks in the school's library Tuesday morning with ninth-grade students who read his book in their Advanced Language Arts class.
He used to play Dungeons and Dragons with his “book geek” friends in the junior high library at lunchtime.
Jamie Ford returned to the library at Marcus Whitman Junior High School on Tuesday, this time to discuss his best-selling novel and the craft of writing with students, some presumably book geeks themselves.

Explorers provide valuable search-and-rescue help
For 17-year-old Mackinley Holt, the Washington Explorer Search and Rescue (WESAR) program is many things. It’s the thrill of the search. It’s the opportunity to spend time outdoors. It’s helping strangers stuck in a precarious position.
It’s also a family affair.
