HOODSPORT - On an
Alaskan cruise celebrating the
75th anniversary of the Gold
Rush and the fiftieth anniversary
of the founding of the Alaska
Yukon Pioneers went Mr. and
Mrs. Dave Farcy last month
Three hundred and seventy five
passengers, pioneers and former
residents, boarded the ferry
Wickersham, of the Alaska Ferry
Line to cruise the Inland Passage.
Oldest of the pioneers was Pete
Jensen, 98, and included in the
passenger list was General Jimmy
Doolittle who had promised his
wife 60 years ago that he would
show her the fabulous Inland
Passage. Another elderly lady
remembered the Yukon Trail
when as a girl of 12, she had
accompanied her father into the
Gold Rush area on guided tours.
The cruise was organized over
a period of several months by
Budd Clark who chartered the
Wickersham for her last trip to
Alaska. The Farcys saw the trip
advertised in a Seattle paper and
since Dave had worked at Kodiak
in the forties they signed up.
The trip took them to
Ketchikan, Wrangell and Sitka. At
Skagway they left the ship and
travelled on the White Pass
Railroad to White Horse in the
Yukon Territory. From the train
they could see the Gold Rush
trail. People turned out en masse
in the towns to greet them. High
School bands large and small
welcomed them and they were
entertained with programs and
refreshments. At Skagway they
were given a supper and the
people of Petersburg had prepared
delicious Swedish dishes topped
off with Alaskan King Crab. At
Skagway they saw the Archangel
Dancers performing Russian Folk
dances and at Haines they
watched the Chilkat dances;
Indian dances which until
recently were forbidden to the
white public.
Their fellow-passengers,
though mostly in their late
seventiesand eighties, were
spirited and friendly and
delightedas children as old
friends came down to meet them
in towns along the way. Meals on
board were good providing variety
and tasty appearance. "We came
home ten years younger and ten
pounds heavier," says Mrs. Farcy.
The Wickersham will not be
used on the Alaska run again but
will be taken to Holland where it
will be refurbished as a cruise ship
in the Mediterranean.
Canal neighbors Niel and
Mary Simmons and Jim and Helen
Simmons had visitors from
Oregon last week. Their brother
Jack and wife Peggy vacationed in
Alaska and stopped on their way
home for a few days. They helped
celebrate Mary's birthday Sunday.
Recent guests at the Reinhold
Koenig home were Mrs. Koenig's
daughter and husband, Mr. and
Mrs. Warren Lipke and son,
Richard from Bay City, Michigan.
The Koenigs took them to
Portland to catch the plane for
home and Mrs. Koenig went on to
Glendale, California for a two
week visit with her two sisters.
Mrs. Herb O'Brien (Jill
Dickinson) and baby, Paul, were
guests at the home of her parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Garden Dickinson
over last weekend. Mrs. Vera
Shortsleeve joined them Sunday
to help celebrate Mrs. Dickinson's
birthday.
Word from South Africa is
that Jan and Jenetta Gain and
daughter have arrived safely in
Swaziland. Their new address is
Box 64, Manzini, Swaziland,
Africa.
