Welcome to BigLakeWashington.com (the
Hoffman family website). Our site is a tribute to our late parents
(Lloyd and
Mae Hoffman), and a place for fond memories of the little
community of Big Lake where our parents settled to raise their
five children.
Big Lake was (and remains) a small rural town in Skagit county
located about 55 miles north of Seattle, Washington. The sleepy
community of Big Lake surrounds the lake of the same name, and currently
has a population of about 1,200 residents. Growing up in Big Lake
was an experience none of us would trade, and the allure of those sweet
memories drew both Ginger and Ken back to Big Lake to live in recent
years. Harold never moved farther away than Bellingham, and while
Tom and Nola both reside in Arizona, their hearts remain in Big Lake.
This
site will focus on the family years spent in Big Lake. This will
be the heart of the project from which the rest of the site emerges.
This will be a constantly evolving undertaking which will eventually
branch out to include current family adventures as well as the family
history (both on the Hoffman side as well as the Cantlin side).
Brother Ken has a pretty good handle on both family lines and is
considered by the rest of us (who are too lazy to do it ourselves) the
family historian. There may eventually be an interactive Blog where
discussions of family history can take place.
The site will be under constructions for
quite a while...while we work out the kinks. be patient...it's a
virtue you know.
