Washougal resident John Scukanec enjoys a game of catch in 2022.

On the evening of Wednesday, March 2, John Scukanec grabbed a baseball, picked up his mitt and dragged his son, JR, out to the back yard of their Washougal home to play catch. It was 9:30 p.m., cold and wet, but Scukanec didn’t care. He had determined that he was going to play catch with somebody not only that day, but every day for the next calendar year.

That was “day one.” Six months later, the streak is still going.
