Miss Hedwig Linnenbruegge
of North Shore recently drove
a VW camper singlehanded from
here via the At-Can highway to
Prince Rupert. From there she
ferried on the Matanuska to
Haines, Alaska, then overland to
Anchorage and, again by ferry, to
Kodiak. Commander
Linnenbruegge is a Navy veteran
who spent 1V2 years as a nurse at
Kodiak so was able to visit with
many friends, part of the time
sleeping in her camper, and fished
in the rain without, she says,
notable success. Her trip lasted
almost a month and she returned
by way of Seward, ferrying on the
Wickersham to Kelsey Bay, and
driving down Vancouver Island.
Miss Linnenbruegge is enrolled in
the Graduate School at the
University of Washington where
she is working on a Masters as
Nurse Scientist.

achieved some sort of record; she
didn't have a flat tire on the
entire trip!)

Just a note of explanation for
.the residents o£ Orchard Beach
who heard a strange bird call
Thursday night; that was no bird,
it was my monkey. I let her out
to play in the yard these nice
warm days and leave her cage
where she can get in when the
evening turns cold. The other
evening she felt the call of the
wild and stayed out in the trees
until it became too cool for her,
then she started calling in the
early hours of the morning and it
was a strange sound.
Guests of Mrs. Teresa Holladay
last week were the Rev. and Mrs.
William Olsen and daughters, Bess
and Ruth. They were visiting here
from New Millport, Penna. They
were friends in Bebu, in the
Phillipines where they spent
sixteen years as Presbyterian
missionaries. This was their first
trip to the North West and they
thought this was beautiful
country. Saturday they all took a
drive up along Hood Canal and to
Hurricane Ridge. They had
packed a picnic lunch but decided
to eat at the Lodge.
Sunday Mrs. Holladay's son
and family, Gordon and Faye
Holladay, joined them for a
salmon barbecue.
Roger Ewart and Bret Person

to teach the necessary
fundamentals of Firearm Safety.
This is being done all over the
State and last year out of 65
hunting accidents, only six
involved youngsters.
Just a note about the big
boating weekend coming up; be
extra careful for after a summer
of safe boating and skiing a
careless mistake could cause a
tragedy.

the last few years several of
Nancy's friends who have

happy birthday. Lennie Morris,

Ann and Eke Eacrett were
able to spend the entire summer
at home for the first time in
years, and enjoyed having their
Oak Harbor grandchildren spend
the summer with them - one at a
time. Laura was with them for
two weeks in June, then Steve for
a week and Mike for two weeks,
and this added up to several visits
for son, Bob, and wife, Shirley, to
spend weekends and exchange
children.

Being a journalist has its compensations at times; like last Friday
night when I was invited to visit the Les Krueger home to take
photographs of the guests, including Governor Dan Evans, at a luau
dinner attended by Republicans who had donated $100 or more to the
party during the year.
A few months after I had become editor I had driven down South
Shore to knock on doors to ask the residents what they thought of the
plans to enlarge Alderbrook Inn. The Krueger house happened to be
one of the houses I had stopped at, so I had met them at that time.
Later on, as I have driven down South Shore, I often look for the
homes I visited that day but the last few months I never could locate
the Krueger house. Now I know why. It doesn't look the same any
more.
Even though the greatly enlarged home has not yet been completed,
with some of the rooms still in an unfinished state. 1 think it's safe to
say that the Krueger house, itself, caused as much interest as the visiting
dignitaries. Expecially the indoor swimming pool.
I didn't measure the large room holding the beautifully curved pool
and a smaller whirlpool bath, but I think my five-bedroom house would
have fit into it without too much squeezing. There were three or four
card tables set up poolside but the place looked empty, it could have
held 25 or 30 more around the pool without crowding.
Since the party was sponsored by the Century Club of Bremerton, a
Kitsap County Republican club, I didn't expect to know any of the
guests. I was pleasantly surprised to meet Bob and Fran Sutton of
South Shore, another couple 1 first met that day I knocked on
stranger's doors. And my Bulldog Beat reporter, Rob May, was helping
park cars in a large parking lot across the street and up a steep hill.
With help fror:l the Suttons, I soon discovered there were four other
couples from the Belfair area, the Gene Wards, the lke Parkers, the
Wendell Arnolds and the Scott Wetzels so I maneuvered them into my
pictures. They were all very friendly and co-operative when they found
out the picture was for the Huckleberry Herald.
While awaiting the arrival of the Governor and his party, I sipped
champagne and visited with the guests. While talking to Harry Beasley,
who, with his wife Edith, was a houseguest of the Kruegers, I learned
that one of the new rooms added was reached by a circular staircase
and led to a room carpeted in bright orange and having black lights.
This was the room of the Krueger's son.
It sounded worth seeing, but I hated to go snooping around by
myself so I asked Fran Sutton and Bette Ward if they would like to join
me to search for the "different" room and they jumped at the chance.
You almost need a road map for the large house and we couldn't find a
circular stairway until we asked the Krueger's daughter where it was
and she led the way. It was behind a closed door near the entry hall and
we made our way up the narrow stairs to admire the boy's hideaway.
When the Kruegers finish their remodeling I'm going to knock on
their door again; this time to ask for a guided tour through the
beautiful home. It wouldn't be out of place in House Beautiful.
Arson supected in secon
mysterious Beard's C0ve
Fire struck another building
at Beard's Cove early in the
morning of August 30, this time
completely destroying the bathing
house on the beach recreation
area.
The fire alarm was received at
1:35 a.m., called in by a South
Shore resident who noticed the
flames from her nearby trailer
home. Almost immediately calls
were received by persons who had
been driving down the Highway 3
hill into Belfair, who saw the fire
across the water.
Four trucks responded and
had the fire out within 20
minutes but it was too far gone
by the time they arrived to save
any part of the small structure
serving as dressing rooms for the
swimming pool. Wind had carried
sparks and burning cedar pieces
over one hundred feet to the
north to burn a large area of grass.
The State Fire Marshall has
been notified and was expected to
visit Belfair Wednesday to inspect
the remains in search of clues as
to who might have started the
blaze. Arson is strongly suspected
and a $100 reward has been
offered by Allen Bowden,
developer of Beard's Cove, for
any information leading to the
conviction of the persons
responsible for this fire or the fire
several weeks ago which
destroyed the sales office.
