1
00:00:01,13 --> 00:00:08,01
I mean your family both
sides are mostly as I

2
00:00:08,01 --> 00:00:10,86
mentioned both have lived for

3
00:00:10,87 --> 00:00:17,45
a long time I guess I'll start with
my dad's side my gramma's family the

4
00:00:17,46 --> 00:00:23,82
coalition and they came for the mill
originally perfectly in from Madison and

5
00:00:24,63 --> 00:00:28,25
she grew up. She was born on the island and
grew up of her and you will harbor and

6
00:00:28,25 --> 00:00:29,04
she's

7
00:00:29,04 --> 00:00:36,45
a long time. I only use them in such.

8
00:00:37,52 --> 00:00:43,95
Her uncles were fishermen in
Seattle area and up in Alaska

9
00:00:45,26 --> 00:00:51,13
and she met my grampa who was originally
from Alaska became to Seattle and I think

10
00:00:51,13 --> 00:00:58,07
he was one or two and he grew up in
Queens. But then. Made his way to Bay

11
00:00:58,07 --> 00:01:00,51
Ridge to be a thank you.
And they lived here for

12
00:01:00,51 --> 00:01:07,24
a long time. And then my
mom said my grampa Felix

13
00:01:07,24 --> 00:01:13,07
came over when he was eighteen. Actually
no I take that back. He left the

14
00:01:13,07 --> 00:01:17,94
Philippines when he was eighteen and went
to work on the pineapple plantations in

15
00:01:17,94 --> 00:01:24,14
Hawaii. Then I think he spent two years
there and then came came to Seattle to work

16
00:01:26,09 --> 00:01:29,85
work on the island in the strawberry farming
but then also in Alaska in the fishing

17
00:01:29,85 --> 00:01:36,54
canneries So he was I think on being rich
in one thousand twenty or twenty six or

18
00:01:36,54 --> 00:01:43,27
so. And my gramma shone when he
went back to visit his family and

19
00:01:44,46 --> 00:01:50,98
married and. Well four lived. The rest of
their lives. Yeah well tell me about your

20
00:01:50,98 --> 00:01:57,73

21
00:01:57,74 --> 00:02:04,48

22
00:02:04,48 --> 00:02:11,47

23
00:02:11,47 --> 00:02:16,69
on the ferry actually coming home to visit
their family and my dad was flying and I

24
00:02:16,69 --> 00:02:17,41

on the plane they met on the ferry coming

26
00:02:21,93 --> 00:02:27,57
