This Day In History

Nov. 17, 2016 — A baby boy named Nokona Ashton Nailon was born at St. Peter’s Hospital in Lacey. These days, Nokona can be found patrolling sidelines with Blast Zone Media as a special assistant to the editor. He has several photo credits to his name, and has even done a bit of ghostwriting. Nokona plays baseball, basketball and soccer, and he’s very proud to be able to buck and stack his own hay bales. — Dear Nokona, your editor is incredibly proud of the young man you have become and he loves you very much. Happy birthday to you!
