What a great story. I wish all these Ike nudist family stories were of my own. Sadly, not the case or even close. Thanks for the history lesson. We live in Olympia for many years and never had a clue we were so close to nudist history.

Evan , I see someone already used the line I was intending to use about the fruit not falling far from the tree. This is a wonderful story and I am looking forward to the coming editions as you explore and discover more about Rudy. You write and express the excitement of discovery. It is great to see you searching and then re-searching, seeing photos again but with new eyes for understanding. Gaining a sense of place by walking nude where history was made and stories originated. I have told people that to get in touch with place one needs to go barefoot and doing so in the nude adds to the experience. I am glad you have decided to get in touch with your roots and are bringing us along for the journey and the joy of discovery. Stay well, naturally. Carl

Wonderful! Thanks for sharing this part of your family history that is also part of nudist history.

My pleasure! I've been spoiled with consuming all my Planet Nude content via the podcast while commuting to/from work, but this was a great one to take the time to read through.

Absolutely! Haven't missed a single episode. It's honestly become such a blessing for me keeping up with things when I otherwise often find myself too drowned in work to keep up with all the written blog posts (including those from other platforms) and so forth. I do my best, but the audio format is a huge boon to me personally. Thank you for producing them!
