(Sam Buck the III stands next to Sam Buck II as Steve Buck addresses well wishers )

The Buck Family, friends, associates, and employees gathered last week to celebrate the 100 year anniversary of the former SJC Bank building, and to rededicate it as the Buck Building. Sam and Barbara Buck purchased the building from San Juan County Bank in1980, restored it to it’s former look, and moved San Juan Properties, Inc into it; which later became Coldwell Banker San Juan Island Inc.

Steve Buck told the gathering that the Buck family has been involved in a number of projects in San Juan county, and have never attached their name to any of them, but now their building will be called the “Buck Building”
