Four generations

A few days before Graham's parents and Marijke continued their journey to Minnesota, my mom and grandparents came to Ellensburg for my grandfather's high school reunion (if you remember, he graduated from Ellensburg High many, many years ago).


Four generations: the ladies

During their visit, we were able to hear many stories about Ellensburg as it used to be, and take a tour of town to see where they lived, shopped and worked. One place my grandfather worked was the radio station where he's treated like a celebrity every time he visits. They pull out old pictures of him and his little big band, and describe the set up of the station and how everything was done live. We all went along for this year's annual visit and had a great time. Thanks KXLE for being great hosts!
