Among those at the Saturday celebration of the opening day of Boating Season 2011 was fiddler Frank Orr. Anthony’s Restaurant provided clam chowder and salad for event participants including Ed and Marcia Berg. Others included Lee and Betty Dawes, cannoneers; 20-year Cap Sante Boat Haven slip customers Jim Dolman and wife with commemorative burgee (pennants).
A fourth generation Skagit County native who was moved kicking and screaming from this island community in 1960. I finally reclaimed an Anacortes address in 1980, and I have been in constant celebration of my return since that time. Many of us who call Anacortes home love Fidalgo Island for its natural assets: among them are rugged beaches, pristine lakes, thousands of acres of forestland and some awesome views of the Skagit Valley and surrounding islands. Another element of my love affair with this community is its people, both natives and immigrants. They will “star” in many of my journal entries.
