Poem
Can it be ten years
since Connie and Karen Havnaer and I
Stayed at the Tyee
Motor Inn
during readings at
Green Bank Farms
on Whidby Island?
So much of my early
plans
were about the side
trip I did the day before
to Stanwood, the
Stanwood Hotel
where My father
worked in 1925.
I found a news
paper ad for the hotel
that called their
cafe Ted's Cafe...
last
year, At an Eyes of the Totem
book
talk about Songs of Willow Frost,
Jamie
Ford stepped toward
us
and took a photo for Facebook.
I
identified my self the next day,
an
edge of a person behind
the
previous row. Jamie Ford dated his chapter
The Eyes of the
Totem 1924,
the mistake
is easy to trace
to the origin of
the Weaver Studios.
In Willow Frost, a
Catholic Orphanage.
1924 – the year of
the initiative
to abolish private
education.
Backed by the Ku
Klux Klan
it attacked
Catholics
but brought
together Catholics
and Lutherans into
a common interest.)
In my father's
tapes
he worked at Bale's
Cafe after it opened
Bale's Cafe at 905
Pacific Avenue,
would be at the
edge
of a still I Captured
from
an Eyes of the
Totem trailer.
The clearly visible
building
where the city
history group has
a display and
office, this is
the block where my
father worked.
He was at Bales
Cafe in nineteen-twenty-six
three months, then
worked
for three weeks at
the Tacoma Hotel,
just beside the
Totem Pole
where the melodrama
star
holds out a
beggar's tin cup
to everyone who
goes by.
So at the movie I
look
at all the faces
and along the streets
to see if my father
appears.
He went back to
University of Washington
School of Pharmacy
in the autumn.
