Thanks For Your Post - Brings Back Memories

Hi Chuck-

Really brings back some memories! When my sister first married, she and hubby moved to Port Angeles. My dad and I made many trips from Keyport (he worked at the Naval Torpedo Station there) to Port Angeles. My grand parents settled Keyport- they were the first non-native Americans there. My dad and I fished Clallam Bay and I raced (go-karts) against a couple guys from Yakima. Thanks for the time-travel back to a previous life. Glad you had a great time.
