Don,
I was answering Stewart's post with mine before this one. But thanks for your insights as well.

Our shop was right on the ocean---U.S. Highway 101. There are a few photos of it and that town then, I think, at my folk photos site.
Depoe Bay had few ways to make a living then. Salmon fishing and lumber jobs was about all there was. Now, folks tell me, there are tons of condominiums along the ocean north of town. They've even got a stop light!!! Again, such is life.

When we were there the town had two good restaurants.---The Chinese one was owned by a retired actor, Mr. Lee, who had played the attending physician in the death scene where Yul Brynner was dying in The King And I. -- Fond memories--and it's fun to dredge 'em up.
