OLSON GARDENS VII – SHADY GROVE GARDEN IS COLORFUL FOR MEMORIAL DAY

Keith and Kathy Biever were always welcome Thanksgiving guests, and joined us again in Sitka for our 2018 holiday.  Kathy and Tim took a long walk to the harbor, where Kathy took pictures of Paul’s former troller, “Valiant Hunter,” and his current troller “Pacific Flyer.” The two hungry hikers and the rest of us decided
