Program

Today’s program was the granddaughter of Lion Jack Strom, Molly (Curry) Bold.  The bold family has been in the Grays Harbor fishing industry for over 100 years.  Molly spoke of how the fishing is a 276 Million Dollar industry within Washington State and how in 2013, over 139 Million lbs of fish were processed through Westport.  However, most people do not know of the importance of fishing is to both the Harbor and the State.  She is among a group that has established “We Fish” which promotes fishing on the harbor.  The are doing so by helping to maintain Fisherman’s Memorial, Supporting the Blessing of the fleet and speaking at organizations such as ours.
