Delicious history: Stevens and Marlantes star at annual PCHS luncheon

I was privileged on March 26 to attend the annual meeting for the Pacific County Historical Society, (an unexpected perk of being a volunteer at the museum). Round 40 to 50 members and volunteers attended the luncheon, as well as two local authors, Karl Marlantes, author of “Deep River” and several other significant works, and Sydney Stevens, local author, tireless researcher and historian.

Lunch was provided at the historic Tokeland Hotel as society President Steve Rogers gave the preliminaries — introducing volunteers, members, our charming manager, Christine Balcom, and the two guest authors, in his usual warm and witty style. Ira Garrett humorously played at sergeant-at-arms, tapping his fork to his glass to call the lunch to attention.
