    Surprises in store at Pig War Picnic
    Surprises in store at Pig War Picnic
    June 6, 2008 8:52 pm

    The Pig War Picnic, the Fourth of July island tradition, is offering something old as well as something new for this year’s event. The picnic, on the San Juan Historical Museum grounds after the parade, is being presented by the Friday Harbor Kiwanis Club. The event was presented by the museum until last year, when the San Juan Island Fire Department presented the event. The Kiwanis Club now has a five-year agreement with the museum to present the event on the museum grounds.

    Noted historian David McCullough gave the commencement address at Boston College last month.
    In his speech. he urged the graduating class of 2008 to improve their communication skills by eliminating needless words such as “like,” “you know,” and “actually” from their speech.
    Good advice, to be sure, but not enough.
    Today’s graduates need practical, “real world” advice that will help them get a job.
