R. W. GREENE is a successful attorney of Bellingham.  Mr. Greene is a native 
of Kansas, and was born in 1880.  His early schooling was in public schools, 
while his legal training was had in the University of Minnesota, from which he 
graduated in 1903, with the A. B. degree, and the same year came to 
Bellingham, where he was admitted to the bar in 1905.  Mr. Green appears quite 
frequently in the courts, and his success is all that could be desired.  His 
court and trial work is always thorough and convincing.  The logic of his 
contentions in court is readily seen and it is seldom he fails to convince a 
jury.  When he enters the trial of a case, he is alert, forceful and insistent 
upon the protection of the rights of his client.  In the trial of a case he is 
determined, vigorous and persistent, maintaining every right to which he 
believes he is entitled.  In 1910 Mr. Greene was married to Miss Olive 
Barnett, and the couple have four children, one boy and three girls.  He is a 
member of the Chamber of Commerce, Kulshan club, Mt. Baker club, or which he 
is former president, Century club, of which he is also president, M. W. A., 
and the county and state bar associations.
