    Rare Air Episode 13: Tongue Point, Washington

We were joined by our other local family members, including Great Grandma Theresa Julien, Grandma Ginny Martin, Grandpa Bill Martin, Ann Kiefert, Chuck Bowling, and their kids Grace and Claire. I’m pretty sure this was one of the first dinners in this home, which was brand new at that time. Although we moved from that home “into town” back in 2008, it was so special to us –…
