Transcript	It has always been difficult for me to tell where English Camp ended and Jim Crook began. Jim was every bit as much of English Camp as the fir and maple, salal, fern, moss and cedar. Jimi spent a long lifetime tending his warm green acres and the gentle animals in his care. He moved with a casual ease through the seasons and seemed truly content with his life. William Crook, Jim's father, aquired English Camp by a pre-emption claim in 1874. Jim was one year old at this time. William moved is growing family into one of the vacated officers houses and Jim was raised by sisters Mary and Rhoda. A fire forced the family to move into the barracks building while Jim and his father started to build a house on the hill over looking Garrison Bay. After two years of construction the family moved into their new home in 1905. Year after year the Crook family poured their love and sweat into the land and produced a very self sufficient farm. There were cattle, sheep, chickens and pigs. Apple and pear orchards, soft fruit of plum, prunes, peaches and apricots. A large and wonderful truck garden and a spud patch. That Jim was a kind and generous man can be proven by one of his many acts of goodness. He gave my mother and her new young husband Floyd McKay (grandson of the Island pioneer Charles McKay) two acres of his beloved land as a wedding gift. The two acres were snuggled in the warm purple shadow of Mt. Young and would provide a stage for much human drama. Jim was 72 years old when I made my apprearance into this world and the pagentry of life on the north end of San Juan Island. I can only wonder how Jim viewed the goings on in the larger world around him. He never married or even left the island in all of his 94 years. He lived a farmers life, shared with his sister Mary. Wars came and went, depressions, police actions, presidential assinations, and all of a hundred years of history. He had his farm, he had his resposibilities, he seemed a truly happy man. by: Jerry Jameson.
