Bravo to Lou Harrington for bringing SITNEWS readers the story
of fish pirate/miner Val Klemm.
My father often fished the the Pt. Caamano area and I remember
visiting Klemm's old cabin many times in the late 1960s and early
1970s. Even though he had been dead for nearly 20 years, the
cabin remained just as he had left it when he died. What a wonderful
time capsule!

- An old-timer once said, "If you want to make it as a miner,
keep your needs few and desires simple."
Val Klemm kept his needs few
but his desires were not simple-just the opposite, in fact.
