i was 4 years old, going on 5, that december. I think i went to South Dakota, North dakota, Mt Rushmore, Black Hills, Minnesota, Wisconsin, with my family to visit the grandparents and the cousins....at that time, Cannon Beach was not infested with tourists and boutique stores..I remember being allowed to play on the beach with my older brother after school and exploring the coastal forests behind our old house....oh those were good days being kids...we moved to Monmouth in winter 1989 because dad was attending Western Oregon State College for a degree (its now called Western oregon University lol)
