The Labor Day dance drew a
huge crowd and everyone really
did seem to be having a really
wonderful time. Walt Alien's
music really does seem to be the
main ingredient that pleases the
majority of the group and seems
to be drawing a little larger crowd
with each passing year. Of course,
some of the teenage group might

have like to have some of the
'beat' piped up from the Rock
Festival at Satsop, but even they
seemed to be enjoying themselves
dancing to the 'adult type' music.
One man after the dance was over
wondered why we didn't have a
dance more often. The reason
given was the small amount of
people to get the food and man
the kitchen, his suggestion was
forget the food and just get that
good music and have more
dances. Another fellow remarked,
'I don't dance, but that music is
good enough to make me think
maybe I could!'
Another group most of whom
are summer property owners on
the Libby Road in the Agate area,
came as a direct result of having
read about it in this column. They
remarked we read your column
each week and you made it sound
like so much fun We just couldn't
stay away. When I hear such
comments it really makes a warm
glow spread all over from foot to
toe and it makes this job really
seem worthwhile! The group of
over a dozen, included Lee
Carman (a property owner here)
and his daughter, Paula and her
husband, the Gordon Highfill
family, Mabel Morrison and
daughter, Mary and a guest of the
group, Hal Thompson all of
Seattle. Another visitor, Tina
McLaughlan of Portland, Ore.,
was also a visitor. And Mr. and
Mrs. Stenor Kurnsland who make
their home in Port Orchard who
also have a place at the little
settlement known as Heggembo
on Libby Road. One of the group
remarked that there were almost
as many over at the settlement
that didn't come, but she said
wait until we tell them what a
good time we had and maybe
they'll all come next year!
Our Park Ranger, Jim
McAuliffe, was also helpful in
adding to the numbers at the hall
hauling a couple of loads from the
State Park boaters.
The kitchen was well staffed
and all ran smoothly through the
very capable Committee
Chairman, ftelen Olson. Very
little food had to be taken back
home and a good profit came
from the food sales. Even the
coffee pots went dry just a trifle
too soon, there's usually a half a
pot or so that gives the worm
population under the hall a very
early morning waker upper! Boy,
if its the early bird that gets that
worm they usually have to be
awful early on Sunday of Labor
Day. But this year the worms got
to sleep m Ior a change - no
coffee.
Two weeks ago Chris Braget
surprised her folks by dropping in
for two or three days
unexpectedly. She and a friend
drove up from Calif., having just
returned with a group that made a
trip to Florida together for a few
weeks. Leaving here, the travelers
headed back to San Diego to seek
employment following a delightul
vacation. Chris remarked Florida
was O.K. for a vacation but she
would sure be glad to get back to
southern California.
Going back to Saturday night,
momentarily, it was really great
to have Bert and Grace Campbell
(still our adopted Islanders) be
able to leave their Spencer Lake
Inn in good hands long enough to
come over and enjoy the dance. It
was really great to visit with them
and see them take a much
deserved break after having kept
their nose to the grindstone for
these past many, many long
months.
Due to a lack of time, we'll
save a nice news item about the
Campbells until this time next
week.
The Cruickshanks, Jack and
Eileen were holding their breath
last week waiting to see if their
youngest daughter, high school
student Susan, would make it
back home in time for the
opening day of school
Wednesday. Susan's older sister,
Kathy drove up from California
and the two girls arrived here on
the Island the day before Susan
had to return to school. Susan
had gone down to California
following the close of school last
Spring and the two sisters had
shared an apartment together for
the summer with Susan taking
over the cooking duties while
Kathy worked. Susan returned
looking happy, tanned, and slim
and trim.
The Norman Tober family
drove down Saturday evening in
time for morn and dad, Lena and
Norm to attend the dance, while
the five youngsters spent the
evening with Grandpa and
Grandma, Arlo and Katherine
Wingert. Norm, who was Boeing
casuality, is very happy to now be
among the employed. The Tober
family returned Sunday to theier
Vashon Island home.
The Chuck Bridges family
headed for North River Monday
having spent Sunday enjoying a
horse show. The event at Chuck's
brother, Ted's home in North
River was one that hadn't taken
place for a good many years. All
the relatives on Chuck's side of
the family, literally aunts and
uncles and cousins by the dozens
who were able, gathered for a
huge family reunion.
Down on the south end of the
Island at the Marshall Olson
home, their small house was
bursting at the seams with
weekend guests. A niece, Lanore
Lundquist and her daughter, came
up from the Harbor. Also here
were the Ed Moore family from
Longivew. Mr. and Mrs. Moore
along with one of their sons and a
daughter accompanied by her
friend, Rose Marie Matson arrived
Saturday. Sunday the Moore's
other son, 16-year-old John. who
was just returning from a total of
three months on a survival course
on Mt. Saint Helens, arrived.
The youth had been awarded
a scholarship from the
Weyerhaeuser Company for the
long ordeal. Everyone certainly
enjoyed hearing about his

One of the most memorable was
when the leaders took away all
their clothes and sleeping bags in
25 degree weather. With this
year's crops of wild berries and
fruit being much later than usual
it really proved to be a real test for
the group, called the Outward
Bound. The group-also has a-
female countergroup which was
surviving elsewhere on the
mountain. Helen remarked since
it was John's first day back from
the long ordeal she spent the
whole day trying to fill him up
and was never sure whether she
ever accomplished that goal. To
this writer, that would seem like a
complete Mission Impossible,
since boys of that age have a
hollow leg every day, without
going for three long months on
practically nothing to eat.
The Steig Gabrielsens
returned last week after taking a
two week boat trip. Most of their
time was spent in the vicinity of
Friday Harbor on San Juan Island
ig
and Rosario Harbor on Orcas
Island. This time, however, they
didn't have a cat story to repeat,
with everything under control in
that department. But they did say
how terrible the yellow jacket
situation was even at anchor way
out on the water. There was just
no getting away from the
miserable little pests.
Buddy Budd, brother of
Johnny Budd, was on the Island
visiting John and Alice over the
Labor Day weekend.
