This postcard image, boasting a July 5, 1932 postmark, is among the Deception Pass images in the collection of Hugh and Lee Brainard of Oak Harbor. The Brainards were part of the history-minded “Spindrift” team formed in partnership with writer Dorothy Neil and accountant Mavis “Chic” Schulle. This pre-Deception Pass Bridge image was on a card addressed to Mrs. I Anderson, RR3, Madrid, Iowa. No report of how it came to be in the Spindrift archives, but as a newspaper columnist and historian Dorothy collected countless photographs, drawings, letters and clippings over the years. Dorothy has since passed away, and I met with the Brainards this week after seeing them at a memorial service for Chic. Together, the four brought joy to many in creative “packages” ranging from cookbooks to quarterly magazines.
