Welcome to
my website which chronicles 60 years of life as it was primarily on small (1 ½ x 5-miles) Fox Island, Washington located in South Puget Sound within 50 miles from Seattle and within sight of the Tacoma Narrows Bridges. Because I grew up on the Island and have vivid memories and have written of its heydays in the 1940s and 1950s, I am in the unique position to spread tales of life and the people on the Island. The 1940s are chronicled in An Island In Time: Growing up in the 1940s, published in 2002. The 1950s are chronicled in An Island in Time: Coming of age in the 1950s, published in 2007. Before the An Island In Time books came about, several stories about Fox Island appeared in The Fox Island Times in the 1970s and 80s. You can read these stories by clicking on the “Stories” button. Many great photos and pictures are also available for your viewing pleasure. I hope you enjoy looking through them. The Island is also home to a unique rock called a claybaby. You can click on the “Unique Rocks” button to see examples and learn their story. Please feel free to sign my guestbook which can be found in the Links Section of this website or email me with any questions you may have on any of my books. A selection of Newspaper and Book reviews has also been included. Don Edgers |
