Celebrate Gig Harbor's Lucy Goodman

www.gigharborguide.com

If you have lived in the harbor for any length of time you no doubt have heard of Lucy Goodman. And if you haven’t, then here is an opportunity for you. One of Gig Harbor’s favorite daughters, probably the one person that long time locals most have in common, is Miss Lucy Goodman.

Young Lucy Goodman came to Gig Harbor with her family in 1883. They settled in Crescent Valley where father Joseph Goodman built the family home. Lucy began her teaching career in Gig Harbor’s first school house, located at the head of the bay, across from what is now Anthony’s Restaurant. She continued to teach for more than 70 years, dedicating her life to educating Gig Harbor’s children through several generations of families. Today in Gig Harbor many resident remain who were touched by Miss Goodman and her teaching philosophy.
Whether you are one of those people, or this is the first time you have heard of Lucy Goodman, you should consider being in the audience for “Meet Miss Lucy Goodman” a conversation from the past, presented by Gig Harbor High School Senior Ariana Williams. Ariana will perform Lucy Goodman as she presents “Miss Lucy” as a young teacher eager to share her knowledge.
