I only wish that there were some photos. I've got just alot of fuzzy memories. My grandfather was born on a homestead just outside what is Orting. He was quite the pioneer, his various roles in the community included, Post Master, County Commissioner of Roads, he also was the publisher of the Orting Oracle. He saw the need for a funeral home in the valley and founded the Orting Funeral Home that has been sold several times over since he sold it and retired.
On my last trip to Orting several years ago, I couldn't believe the growth. It looks so much like a suburb now rather than the "Saturday Evening Post" small town America, with the logging trains running through the center of town. Well, so much for my rambling.
