Clyde Sundstrom at 80:
San Juan Island boy remains full of spirit
Etta Egeland and hundreds of other islanders wished Clyde Sundstrom a happy birthday during a party at his San Juan Valley home on Saturday, Oct. 28. Sundstrom and Egeland represent 184 years of San Juan Island life: Sundstrom will be 80 on Halloween and Egeland turns 104 on Nov. 10.
Peter Chan presented Clyde Sundstrom with a birthday Jack-o-lantern Saturday. Chan gives Sundstrom, born on Halloween 1920, a carved birthday pumpkin each year.
Dodie Gann, one of Clyde Sundstrom's San Juan Valley neighbors, was one of the many longtime friends at Clyde's party.
Plenty of kin, including Sundstrom's sister-in-law Margaret, helped celebrate his 80th birthday. She played several renditions of "Happy Birthday."
