1964 The earthquake and tidal wave destroyed Henrys “Legs” and Edie LeGrue’s home and business. Both buildings were washed about a quarter mile into Potato Patch Lake. Their house is in the center of the photo a mobile home is smashed into the far side of the house. The business was in the building on the far right. Between the first and second wave Legs and two band members returned to the building and placed the musical instruments on chairs on the elevated stage. The idea was to keep them dry, the next day the building and instruments were gone!! Only the front portion of the building is in the photo, the back half was never found. They were burned in place. At the far right is where the Beachcomber was beached 9 months later.
