RAMPING IT UP - Tyrone McLeod of Skookum Timber, along with his dad, local legend Vern McLeod, finish the handrails on this Morris Street ramp to Dick and Nina Dorsten house on Jan. 6. A whole crew of volunteers worked all day in the wet weather to get the ramp erected. Tyrone said, “the Soroptimist had helped pay for the cost of material for Dick and Nina’s ramp”. They are the cute couple that have been walking around town for decades holding hands. – Photo and text by Don Coyote
