Familiar face
Published September 25, 2006 / by Steve Berentson
There weren’t a lot of familiar faces among the crowd Sunday at the Oyster Run, so I was surprised to hear a biker shout my name on my way out. Turns out it was Eric Tietjen, Anacortes native and long-time friend. Imagine he’ll be wanting this shot for his scrapbook…
About Steve Berentson
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.
