What a party…100!
Posted February 23, 2010 at 5:58 pm by Ian Byington
Seanene asked me if I’d like to drop by the Village at the Harbour for cake for a birthday party…Kathryn Pinion celebrated her 100th today. She had quite a mob there, of family & friends. I asked Seanene to send me a little about her, and she replied:
Mrs. Pinion with her daughter, islander Pauline Mulligan at her 100th birthday.
As a young, married college graduate, Kathryn Pinion worked as a secretary in the Office of the Clerk of the House of Representatives and in the office of the Governor of Tennessee. Her husband, Dwight Pinion, was legal counsel to the Senate and he and Kathryn were often guests of the White House during the term of FDR. She raised three wonderful, bright daughters who are all dedicated to their amazing mom.
Kathryn now has a lovely apartment at Village at the Harbour in Friday Harbor and despite some loss of sight, is totally independent and more informed than anyone here…staff included.
She has supported President Obama since he first surfaced and will give up anything to watch him speak – even exercise class which, otherwise, she never misses. She keeps us all informed of current events on a daily basis and as I said, her support of the Democratic Party has never wavered. She turned 100 on February 23 and we are planned quite a party!
Again, we are grateful for your interest in this truly amazing lady.

100 years young! Isn’t Mrs. Pinion an inspiration to us all and how wonderful Friday Harbor now has a special Village to let our youngsters live as independently as possible. Congrats to Mrs. Pinion and Seanene Kennedy for a celebration in many ways.
