Dale Raugust - Green Gable Photagraphy
I grew up on a farm in Eastern Washington, received a BA in history from Washington State University, a MA in history from Eastern Washington University, and a JD from Gonzaga University School of Law. For 31 years I practiced law in Spokane Washington while raising two beautiful children. My law practiced focused on family law and mediation. I retired from adversarial work in 2007 and now limit my practice to mediation. My web site is www.mediate.com/raugust. I have always had an interest in history and writing and have written 3,000 journal pages over the years. I was awarded the Terry Logan award for best written dessertation for my Master's Dessertation. I am working on a book on the Spokane Free Speech movement, 1909-1910.
