Mill Town Boy

Mill Town Boy is an American story of immigration, the Great Depression, war, and peace. Raymond Fosheim grew up in a Norwegian-American family in one of the most beautiful places on earth, Everett, Washington. Everett was the lumber capital of the northwest United States and was proudly referred to as 'Mill Town' or 'The City of Smokestacks.' Mill Town Boy is not just a biography of a man but also of a city and a region. The author, Gene Fosheim, is Raymond's son, also a lifelong Everett resident. In his foreword prominent local historian Jack O'Donnell states, "Blessed by his father's diary that Fosheim rescued from the trash, a trove of family photographs, oral interviews of his father, his interest in hearing the family stories as a small child and a love of travel, he has created a unique and thorough family memento. Read this heartwarming family history and learn a lot about Everett history as well."
