They were both at their other two houses in Seattle doing their 'mainland' things. Mysti (stepmom) is there now assessing. We spoke at length last night, I might fly out to help. She has what sounds like a very good contractor. He's from Bulgaria, semi retired, lives there on the island and...
the coffee table is still in the family - this would have been grandmas house in portland. I was born in may of the same year so he must have some home on leave as I was born at Cannon AFB and after that we moved to moffet AFB.

nice can be relative in assessing a picture but here is my folks island house Lopez Island, WA. Only one room actually flooded thus far (on a ground level slab) and forecast is looking favorable. While there are many positives to living that close to the sea there are drawbacks.
heres dad.
they apparently were doing quite well touring in/around Portland and had made a couple demo records (he still has them) but then the whole veitnam thing got in the way, then life in general after they came home.
ha, pretty sharp wit this morning....
Dave - on the right - passed about 30 years ago.
This is joe, he is on the left in the above pic. He's a year older than dad so 81. He also played banjo and imo had a better voice than my dad.
my dads folk music band, circa 1964. R.F Trio. He is the one standing, I'm named after the other two. The following link was recorded in 1973, dad doing vocals.
