Saturday
Luci and I arrive at Marilyn’s early to set up for Ralph’s interview. We were having great weather outside and again decided to use the natural light coming through the windows. Ralph came with a list of topics he wanted to speak on and they matched well with our list of questions so we were all on the same page.
He provides a very interesting insight to the story because he stayed within the C&MA and worked from within to make policy changes and work toward accountability on the church’s part. He made a great difference. He provided such a different perspective than that of Ann & Howard (our other parents being interviewed). We taped for an hour and broke for lunch. After lunch, we taped for another hour and wrapped it up. We all got along well and feel the session went great.
Luci and I went to the infamous Pike Street Market near downtown. Luci bought me a leather wristband and we ate Peroshkies. A delicious Russian doughy treat. We met up with Shawn at Iver’s Salmon House on Lake Union for dinner. I had no idea there were so many varieties of Salmon. They cook it on planks of Alder wood for a unique smoky flavor. All delicious. We had a good visit with Shawn and went back to the hotel and called it a night.
