Pictured here in December 2005 is the late Bill Berry, owner and head broadcaster at local AM radio station KLKI. Bill was everywhere with that remote microphone! Also pictured is a truckload of Santa and friends. Backdrop is the former Annie Curtis art painted on the side of the New Wilson Hotel. New art replaced it after a major renovation that brought the building under the umbrella of the Anacortes Housing Authority.

Santa waves, "old Annie Curtis" on wall in background
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.
