Darlene

Very momentous milestone, Darlene, with lots of fun activities, it appears. I'm sure you will have a great turnout for all events. Wish I could be there!!

Sounds like it will be a great year at Mukilteo! Anyone has the opportunity, take Darlene up on her offer. She is a wonderful hostess and guide. The Mukilteo light is one of the most beautifully landscaped lights I have ever visited (if not the most beautiful). As I recall from my visit to Mukilteo with tour guide Darlene, they have an arrangement with the local flower club, and the club does a fantastic job making the grounds bright and cheery.

Congrats to the lightstation and all its great volunters on celebrating 100 years.

Darlene, unfortunately I won't be able to make it this year as I have my travel palns for the year all set.
