June Happenings

At the beginning of the month, Jo and Bronco Huge hosted us and some of our friends (also formerly of Friday Harbor) for lunch.  It was a very fun reunion!!!

Ellingsons, Huges, Bennetts, Posenjaks

Gail loves - and is loved by - all these people, so it was wonderful that she was home and could be part of this.

Petersburg Alaska!

Lon took a little break from his cancer treatments to feel better 

and to go fishing for two weeks with his brother, Terry in Alaska.

The month finished with a devastating fire across the Columbia River from our town - at the north end of Wenatchee where 29 homes and some large business were destroyed.  Fortunately, no lives were lost, nor were any people injured.
