41 years in real estate, the
last 13 working for ReMax.
Walsh retired three years ago
and relocated to Seaview.
More than 25 years ago,
he and Madeline took a trip
to the Long Beach Peninsula
that would change their lives.
“We love the beach, so we
took a trip to the peninsula,”
Walsh said, “but it just so
happened to be a holiday
weekend, and we couldn’t
find a hotel room anywhere.
We looked on the Oregon
side, down in Ocean Park
and almost to Lincoln City. I
told my wife, ‘I’m not com-
ing back down here until we
have a place of our own.’”
Madeline joked: “Our
only requirement is that we
wanted something better than
a tent.”
The Walshes purchased a
property and spent the next
three decades slowly fixing
it up during their free time
while still living in Vancou-
ver. Now it’s their full-time
home.
“It’s not a big house, but
it’s cute,” Walsh said. “We
have a white picket fence all
around it, and a pink seagull
in the front yard — a char-
acter from one of my books
called ‘In Search of the Pink
Seagull.’”
“The Little Spotted Frog”
can be found online through
Amazon and at Adelaide’s
Books. CW
