Dad Back Home
Down the hill from the Pioneer Burial Park in Oak Harbor, my father grew up in this house. A house that used to be there, that is.
My father found peices of his old bed in the woods by the cemetery where his house used to be. The bed he said he slept on while growing up in Oak Harbor was an army cot.

Aunt Mary Lou Goodwin
My father's sister, aunt Mary Lou, passed away on September 4th this year. Last weekend I attended her services at the Pioneer Family Burial Park on Whidbey Island, Washington.
In the background is Susan (the wife of my father's cousin Roger), Mary Lou's friend and co-worker (name?), and my cousin Doris (Mary Lou's daughter).
My aunt, born in 1938, was of the Irish Nunan family who originally settled on the Island in 1858.
