Drifter, more cool info. My deceased father in law Frank Olsen Jr. was a Hoquiam native and dug commercially back in the day for xtra cash in the 50's-60's. At 6'5" tall that was not an easy task. That height got him a scholarship at UPS in basketball and an education in teaching. There he met my mother in law Sandie who at 86 still reminsces of those days. His brother Will, recently passed in October at 91, a long time Hoquiam native and retired Long Shoreman there. Clam digging is in our families blood and a great activity to share with everyone. Hope it holds up amongst all the other recreational fishing closures that are going on. I, for one will participate as long as fisheries are open,or as long as I am able. Thanks for sharing.
