Up and out
Kudos to this adult, who I’ll call “Dad,” spotted Saturday at 9 a.m. from my vantage point at Cap Sante. Rather than sleeping in while his kids watched TV, this dad opted to dress the youngsters and head for Rotary Park on the northeast corner of Cap Sante Boat Haven. It’s a short walk along […]

Berentson, son of Marion and Martha, was born in Anacortes on February 26, 1925. His life’s adventures include a […]
Dad’s birthday
What a great day! I took a coffee break this morning at Stork’s Restaurant and had the opportunity to spend some quality time with two of the most important role models in my life: my father, Buehl Berentson (right), and my friend and former boss, Wallie Funk. Dad, who was born here in 1925, celebrates […]
