Flashback 4th

For Judie Lewis Zersen, Anacortes’ final Marineers’ Pageant queen in 1957, the 2015 4th of July Parade was just like old times. Take one gown, one queen sash, a parade wave and thousands of spectators lining Commercial Avenue … and you’ve got a scene reminiscent of the day she “floated” down the avenue as Pageant royalty. Lewis Zersen was crowned the Marineers’ Pageant queen on July 27, 1957. The crown on that occasion was carried by 8-year-old Robert (Bob) Atterberry, now an Anacortes restaurateur who rode with her in the parade (right). Good stuff!

About Photographer 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.
