Hawaii Or Bust
Hawaii. Paradise. Gentle breezes, year-round warm sunshine, endless beaches and spectacular scenery. When people think of Hawaii, visions of palm trees, clear blue water and perfect weather dance through their head. HAWAII OR BUST: PRACTICAL STEPS FOR MOVING TO PARADISE offers readers a realistic relocation plan for moving to the islands, covering all aspects of the move-from making preparations on the Mainland to realities of island life, quarantine and possible issues of cultural diversity. Moving to Hawaii is unlike relocating anywhere else in the United States. When faced with moving to Hawaii, a place the author had never been, there was no comprehensive moving-to-Hawaii guide available...
Early Skiing on Snoqualmie Pass
Relive the exciting early days of skiing when Snoqualmie Pass was the epicenter of the sport. Ski jumping tournaments attracted world-class competitors to Cle Elum, Beaver Lake on the Summit and the Milwaukee Ski Bowl. The Mountaineers' twenty-mile race from Snoqualmie to Stampede Pass, dubbed "the world's longest and hardest race," was a pinnacle of cross-country skiing. Alpine skiing began in private ski clubs and expanded in 1934 with the country's first municipal ski area, known as the Seattle Municipal Ski Park. And the sport peaked when the Milwaukee Ski Bowl at Hyak opened in 1938. With train access, a modern ski lodge, an overhead cable lift and free ski lessons from the Seattle Times, the Ski Bowl revolutionized local skiing. Lawyer and local ski historian John W. Lundin follows the historic tracks through the genesis of American skiing.

Guardian of Guadalcanal
"Douglas Munro joined the Coast Guard intending to be a Quartermaster. But the winds of war dictated a higher need for Signalmen, as the Coast Guards operated jointly with the Navy at levels never repeated. There was no eight-week Basic Training course in 1939. A new recruit was indoctrinated, vaccinated, and issued a uniform. Back then, you became a Third Class Petty Officer through regular self-study, practice, and performance. That is how Douglas Munro earned the Signalman Designator while aboard the CGC Spencer." -- From dust jacket.
The Emblem
When Callie Rushton takes a position as a tutor for a prominent businessman Edward Burke in 1930's Roslyn, she is only wanting to put bread on the table for her struggling family.

Before long Callie finds herself delving into her employer's past, putting her position on the line. "The Emblem" explores love against the odds and is inspired by Roslyn's Black Pioneers, whose legacy lives on.
