Thank you sir for taking us thru history of Anderson islands. Somehow story of people who care less for money but for love of society n community, are Forever enduring n teach kesson on " how to live in civil way?"
I was a caretaker to one of the brothers. He passed recently. It is my wish that someday I may visit this island. My Samish ancestors will hopefully guide me here for a quiet, thoughtful stay.
What a fascinating, heartfelt tribute to the amazing and wonderful Anderson Island, its founders, and its residents. Kudos to you, the Anderson Island Historical Society, both for providing important historical information and for doing so in a very engaging and educational context. This teacher approves!
Mr Ekenstam was a most attractive man. Even at his mature age, you can surmise his look. (Reminds me of the Western actor Rory Calhoun, who retained such a pleasing look.) I first noticed him in his seventies on that George Straight movie, and then later discovered his earlier works. I knew he had to be most attractive in his younger years for he retained such appeal in his Mature years, and he absolutely was. The same applies to this Great Grandfather. Take a moment and look at his eyes. The "windows to the Soul". I enjoy historic photos so, they do speak 1000 words.
The fabricated "real story" is a dominant group of people who desiccated native people and villages. A place cannot be "discovered" when people have been living there for hundreds to thousands of years. Give proper credit to the proper group.
This is awesome. Been coming here my whole life. My great grandpa built a cabin and this continues to be my favorite place on earth
Magnificent story. Beautifully illustrated. My compliments to the Historical Society.
Wonderfull presentation. Could not stop watching. Native Washingtonian. Need more of theses. !

Nicely done!
Great story! I love the use of Abba, from the old homeland!
You have a picture of Billy Frank jr but that audio is of his father Billy Frank sr
Great story... thank you.
Thank you from a Longbranch neighbor. Born in 1940 I have much overlapping history. Modern day my internet often comes through that fiber optic cable.
My maternal grandmother was Evangeline Ostling, younger sister to Edna Ostling. Nicely done. Thank you.
Great story, I've had the privileges to visit this Jewel of the Sound
Interesting content, great history!

I was happy to see at least one person that saw it the same way I did A load of elderly white people making it look like they discovered the place.
