After moving to Homer in 1936, he met and married Vega Anderson, both of them were artists and decided to open up Vega's art and gift shop. They sold art supplies and a wide variety of merchandise, pretty much like a mini department store. Sam and Vega were very active members of the rapidly growing Homer community. When the Museum opened in 1968, Sam was the first volunteer curator. Sam died on November 18, 1974, and Vega on September 19, 2002.

Seafarer's Memorial
Seafarer's Memorial


Whenever a fishing boat would leave the harbor, their families knew one of two things could end up happening... one, their loved ones would return home safe & sound, or two, they would end up never seeing them again. Why do they do it? The risk and the reward. Ask anybody who gambles. Add addicting freedom, adventure and the pure joy of living close to the ocean and you could begin to understand the soul of the Seafarer.
