Have we found Gracie yet? or how a lost dog brought our community together.
by Tom Smith Ken and his wife, one of our newer members, moved to Surf Pines after retiring about a year and a half ago. Shortly afterward, they adopted Gracie, who is a beautiful 75 pound white pyrenees dog who was rescued from a Texas dog rescue. This rescue held her for almost a year, after being abused by her original owner, before Ken and his wife found her through a rescue adoption site.

Fifteenth Anniversary of the Great Coastal Gale of 2007
The Great Coastal Gale of 2007 was a series of powerful Pacific storms that affected the U.S. states of Oregon and Washington and the Canadian province of British Columbia between December 1, 2007 and December 3, 2007. This is a story of its impact on my wife and I and a great interview of what it was like for Craig and Dana Westin and Dana’s dad Paul See. Thought this would be of interest since this will be the fifteenth anniversary of the big storm. Happy Thanks giving all.
