History of Clan MacMillan in Washington State

2007

In July 2007 the Washington State Branch had a very successful clan tent at the Pacific Northwest Scottish Highland Games.  We had a record turnout of M'Ms for the Parade of the Clans on Saturday, as the family and friends of Careen McMillian Faubus, a long-time "clan cavalier" for us, gathered for a final farewell.  Careen passed away last spring, and her name was read out to all during the "Flowers of the Forest" as one who has passed on.  We owe Careen and her husband Ed Faubus a profound debt of gratitude for keeping the Evergreen Chapter of Clan MacMillan going for so many years.  That organization led directly to the creation of this Branch.

On Sunday it was cold and rainy and we reveled in our "Scottish" atmosphere as the clans huddled together under cover for what must be the shortest Parade of the Clans ever held!  It lasted about 15 seconds.
