Howdy...I am looking for a fellow named Barry Woods...his Dad was formerly living in that round house over the little bridge in Ardenvoir...that was way back in the seventies. A friend who lives in Big Bear Lake, CA is in hospice with liver cancer, and I know he would like to say good bye to Barry ...last known place that Barry lived was Ardenvoir, or possibly, Wenatchee...was married to a gal named Robin Crow, and has a sister named, Wanda Woods.....my name is Janet and I live in Seattle..my email is: veejaws@msn.com any help would be very much appreciated....
Thank you kindly....Janet

Monte,
Thanks for the plug on your website for STORMY MOUNTAIN SOAPS. We had a great time at the Swallow Festival. We're looking forward to next year. Your pictures are great!

Looks like a pretty fun time. Usually the small town festivals are the best! You did a really great job of capturing the personalities of the local townfolk.

O.K., Monte. Next year I want to be there. Looks like a great day was had by all.
Plus, you have a wonderful group of people to live in the midst.
