A pleasant surprise for many attending the 2010 Tulip Festival Parade in LaConner on April 11 was a sighting of legendary UW quarterback Sonny Sixiller (left, above). In 1970 Sixkiller took a disastrous Husky football team which only won one game during the '69 season and made them winners. To this day he still holds several Husky passing records set more than 35 years ago. Now a color analyst for FSN Northwest, Sixkiller remains a big part of UW activities. In 1985, Sixkiller was bestowed his highest honor by being inducted into the UW football Hall of Fame.
That sounds like it was a fun time.
