A Proper Farewell to Elden Pemberton


Elden Pemberton, beloved father to Aviathar, is forever fishing in one of the creeks he loved. In a beautiful ceremony Thanksgiving Day '09, Cynthia, Aviathar, Jane, Paul, Hazel, Irene, Tessa, Marco, DJ, Teresa and many members of Walker Creek came together to send Elden down Walker Creek.

Even in his death Elden continued a lifetime of service by donating his body to the University of Washington for research. It was so like Elden. And now he is feeding the fishes.

We love you Elden. You are forever a sacred part of our creek, our land and our hearts.
