“Photo: Volunteer Jamie Canby, left, delivered dinners to shut-ins on Thanksgiving day after chef Tom Arhontas cooked the turkey (or ham or lamb).Jim Larsen/staff photo Thursday was a memorable Thanksgiving for South Whidbey residents — both for those who were making dinner and those partaking of it.“There were a lot of happy people,” said Dick McClellan, chief cook at the American Legion Hall. The Legion sponsored the free Thanksgiving dinner, with help from the Eagles, other local organizations and many individuals.“It was the best Thanksgiving of my life,” McClellan said, describing the delightful scene at the Legion Hall where some 150 dinners were served.Thanksgiving was equally happy for those who couldn’t leave their homes or their jobs for the holiday. Chef Tom Arhontas, working out of the school district’s bus garage kitchen, and his delivery people sent out about 35 dinners, while a similar number came to the Legion Hall to pick up dinners for others.More precise figures and photographs will appear in next Wednesday’s South Whidbey Record.<"
