Holly Hollow


If my mom was still alive she would be 79 today! Her name was Holly (somehow short for Helen) and she was an adventurer. And that’s probably where I got my spunk.

Holly moved from Seattle to Ketchikan, Alaska in the early 1970’s when she was 42 years old. She fished a two-person salmon trawler with her boyfriend and they were very successful!

Holly visited our home in 2001 before she got cancer. And she loved our home so much that we named it Holly Hollow. Mike had a sign made and it hung proudly in our living room.

Here’s to you, Mom...thank you for the spirit of adventure that I'm sure I inherited from you.
