Remember Jeff who used to work at the Journal? He reports that he’s moving east – here’s more:

Hey, Ian: Just a note to you and your readers. After some years reporting for the San Juan Islands Journal, I recently retired from the South Whidbey Record (now based in Coupeville for some strange reason), and Nancy and I are moving to Staunton, Virginia, a small town in the Shenandoah Valley.
Everything is less expensive — food, housing, gas — and the people are friendly. For me, the chance to explore the history in the area, from Gettysburg and Fredericksburg, to Chancellorsville and Yorktown, is a dream come true.
In the picture, Nancy and I are in Gypsy Hill Park, just north of the main part of Staunton, established in 1732. There’s a small railroad that operates in the park during the summer, charging a buck a ride. I hope to join the board and volunteer as a train engineer. Another dream of mine…
Cheers,
Jeff & Nancy VanDerford
