More Whidbey Friends

Ron worked with Alex when they were both "active duty" at NAS Corpus Christi.  Alex in the Marine Corps and Ron in the Navy.  Alex liked Ron even though he was in the Navy.   Ron use to come by on Sundays with whatever fish he had caught that day.  He's the kind of guy that could catch a fish in your bathtub.  If there is a fish anywhere around, Ron will catch it.  He would clean the fish at our fish cleaning stand and then he would cook it for us!!!!  Yum  

Ron got a job flying for Alaska Airline.  This was great for him as he could live in Whidbey with his wife, Nichelle, who is a teacher in Coupville on Whidbey Island.  Not so good for us as our weekly fish supply went way down.  They since have had two beautiful children, Savannah and Cleveland. 

When we got to Whidbey, Ron came by within a few days with fresh fish for us and wood for our campground fire.  Another day we went hiking with the whole family and then a great lunch at The Rockfish Grill in Anacortes.  

One day Ron called and had us meet him at a marina.  He took us on a 5 hour boat ride all around the islands, then to LaConner where we had dinner.  Unfortunately, Alex and I forgot the camera.  Really too bad as it was beautiful.  Very beautiful. 

We enjoyed seeing Ron and the family and can't wait to see them again next summer.  Thanks Ron.  Its was memorable.  Here's a pic of the whole family on our hike.
