A day to remember
Published May 8, 2012 / by Steve Berentson
It was a great afternoon for the Anacortes Seahawks baseball team — and a particularly notable day for player Marcus Anstensen, pictured here with his father Ted following the game. Anacortes defeated Lakewood 11-3. Anstensen accounting for seven of those runs as he blasted two home runs, one of which was a grand slam. The Northwest District 1 2A Baseball Tournament continues Saturday at Daniels Field in Anacortes.
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.
