spokane: Mobile Marketing in Spokaloo...
- 02/21/16 08:23 AM
I spent most of the week in Spokane, Washington. We did a #mobilecomcamp clock hour class at the River Park Square downtown on Thursday, February 18th. I have a special place in my heart for this old town in Eastern Washington. My Mom grew up here, the Larson side of our family. My Grandpa Harvey and Grandma Edna arrived here over 100 years ago (1901 and 1898 respectively) and I have several fond memories of taking the train from Seattle to visit them as a kid. I also recall many times growing up that Mom would always refer … (14 comments)
spokane: The Larson's of Spokane.

The Larson’s of Spokane.This is my Grandma and Grandpa Larson, Edna and Harvey and (L to R) Aunties' Meldred and Marjorie and my Mom, Mary Lee (1961) at the Larson home in Hillyard, Spokane. My cousin sent this old photo to me that I haven't since the 1960's and I’m cracking up because looking at my Mom at just 5 feet tall (and the youngest) she’s the tallest of the sisters! Grandpa Harvey was born in 1874 in Sweden, came to the US as a kid of about 6 and grew up in and around Cadillac, Michigan. As a young man he worked … (17 comments)
spokane: Twitter laughs with Mac & Cheese

Okay, not so wordless this Wednesday. But the photo says more than I will... I was in Spokane, Washington to teach a few classes May 14 and 15. One of the things I love to do is crack a few jokes before I start a conversation about Twitter... Many who don’t tweet do share a myth. “I don’t use Twitter. It doesn’t make any sense. Like why should I care what you had for lunch?” Of course Twitter is much more than sharing photos of a meal, but I like starting the convo this way because it breaks the tension and gives us … (15 comments)
spokane: Spokane, children of the sun...

The indigenous people of the area, the Spokanes, date back about 13,000 years. They lived near Spokane Falls in what is now downtown Spokane hunting the abundant wild game, fishing for salmon and gathered plants, roots and berries in the nearby western foothills of the Rocky Mountains. The European explorers and fur traders started showing up in 1810 and the first settlers J.J. Downing and S.R. Scranton established a claim here in 1871. The area really started growing when the Northern Pacific Railway reached Spokane in 1891 and the population rose to almost 37,000 by 1900. My maternal grandfather, Harvey Larson, 24 at … (32 comments)
spokane: A Pilgrim's Progress
- 03/31/12 06:46 AM
The Monaghan Mansion in Spokane, Washington has been dear to my heart for over 30 years. It’s home to the Gonzaga Music Department. I’m in Spokane this week teaching social media clock hour classes for local real estate agents. My hotel is only a few blocks from here by the Convention Center. I've been thinking about this pilgrimage for many years and I finally have the opportunity to drop by this Tuesday afternoon, March 27, 2012 after work. It was almost 5:00 pm and closing time but I had a few minutes to realize my long time quest and give quiet thanks … (4 comments)

I'm a certified clock hour instructor who really enjoys teaching social media marketing and emerging technologies to real estate professionals. I work for the First American Title Real Estate School of Washington.
I also enjoy teaching social media strategies for entrepreneurs and small business in the continuing education department at Bellevue College.
