Bob and the Blob

Anacortes has a decades-old relationship with Lutherwood Camp and Retreat Center, located on Lake Samish just over the Skagit County line. On Saturday, May 1, a group of more than 150 busy volunteers included Anacortes residents Bob Ford and Lane Phelan. Bob, shown here flying into the air, joined business partner Kent Jensen in one of two inaugural “launches” on the camp’s newest piece of recreational equipment. Ford, Jensen and other Thrivent associates financed and built the platform for “The Blob,” a giant inflatable unit that will be used extensively by campers this summer. With matching funds by Thrivent, donations associated with Saturday’s “Join Hands Day” event raised almost $20,000 for the camp.

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.
