Clark Fork, Idaho, has a rich history . . . with many of our resident families having "deep roots". Realizing that another era of pioneers and storytellers are quickly slipping away... this site is dedicated to those folk who settled here so many years ago… raised their families… and created this place we love to call “Home."
OnlyinClark Fork is one of my Facebook friends. Apparently, the face behind OnlyIn is Freda Hoskins. I visited Onlyin's web site this morning after my good friend Myra Lewis told me to check out the story she had written about longtime Clark Fork resident Phyllis Brashear.
Myra called me a few weeks ago and said she'd been talking to Phyllis one day at church. After being amazed by the clarity of Phyllis' memories of old-time Clark Fork, Myra visited with her again. This time it was at Phyllis' home and with tape recorder in hand.
Myra put the story together, and it now appears on Onlyin's web site (http://www.onlyinclarkfork.com/index.html). Along with Phyllis' story, readers will find a potpourri of fascinating items about the little scenic, closeknit community (Entering Clark Fork Population 530) approximately 25 miles east of Sandpoint.
Job postings, free classifieds on the bulletin board, advertising rates, offers to do web sites for businesses, other stories about Clark Fork residents, including Lyndsie Kiebert, a junior high school student who just won a state VFW contest and later placed 11th nationally----all this and much more is available at the charming site, filled with homespun flavor.
By the way, Myra is stoked about interviewing more Clark Fork long-timers, so I think she'll be a regular contributor to the site. I'm planning to bookmark the website and am looking forward to keeping up on what's happening over Clark Fork way.
And, I'm going to shut up, so you can check it out too and maybe bookmark it yourself.
Congrats to OnlyIn. You've got a great website.
