I was stationed there for 3 1/2 years in the early 80’s. Being from Tennessee I got homesick for hot summer weather, but since it has been in the mid 90’s for the past week, I wouldn’t mind some cool Whidbey Island weather.

It is a beautiful part of the country. From the front porch on my enlisted housing overlooking Oak Harbor Bay I could see the Olympic Mountains ahead, Mt Rainier to the left (on a good day) and Mt Baker behind me. August was blackberry picking time and they grew big ans sweet in the cool air.
