An exciting kickoff Fly Day at Heritage Flight Museum in Bayview. On hand for flights in the vintage aircraft were retired military pilot and NASA astronaut Bill Anders, founder of the world class museum. Flying with him are his sons, Greg and Alan Anders (plus Craig Nelson). See the museum website for details, including information regarding the NASA Apollo era.

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.
