This AnacortesToday archive photo shows Bill Wooding in his hangar at the Anacortes Airport in August 2014. The occasion was an airport open house hosted by the Port of Anacortes. Many of those in attendance had the privilege of seeing some of the cars and airplanes owned by Bill, including this MiG (Czechoslovakian, I think). Amazing.
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.
