Humble Home

This was the house we lived in in Valdez. It belonged to the company dad worked for..North Star Stevedoring Co. During the winter, we were able to go out the upstairs window and off the porch roof, something we would never have been able to do in Gig Harbor.
I presume it was torn down and not moved to the new town site as some were after the tsunami. I wonder if anyone would know :o)
The picture below was our backyard. It was very close to the bay and when the tide was really high, our basement would fill with enough water for my sis to float her boats. We never did figure out whose gloves those were or what they were used for.
