Rick Bockner will share his experience of finding home on Cortes and what brought him here 44 years ago.
Follow Rick's adventures as he stumbles into some of the great events of the 60s, the Hippie diaspora of the 70s, strange and wondrous abodes on land and sea in the 80s, and wrestling raw land into a home in the 90s. Hear about the birth of some of Cortes Island's legendary creations – CKTZ Lip Synch, Love Fest, The Whaletown Decency Committee, Bud's Birthday, early settlements in Carrington Bay, and oysters 18" deep on the beaches. And probably a lot of other stuff as well. Should be fun.
Hope to see you there.
Sunday, January 18, 2 p.m.
Cortes Island Museum
957 Beesley Road
Stay after the talk to meet other Cortes Islanders and share your own story.
The event will be hosted by Suzanne Fletcher.
