Kay Bollinger, nine times a
grandmother, is at long last the
proud possessor of a diploma.
Born in Cle Elum, she came
with her parents to the Lower
Skokomish Valley as an eight year
old, and attended the lower
Skokomish School. After
completing the ninth grade in the
Irene S. Reed High School, Kay
was forced to discontinue her
formal education upon the death
of her father.
Her mother found
employment to support herself
and another child. Kay went to
work at the Hidden Cove Resort,
where she was cook, waitress,
maid and storekeeper. The days
were ten to 12 hours long, and
she worked six days a week for
the sum of $20 per month plus
room and board.
"I was very lucky to have the
job," she declares.
In 1940 she was married to
Ted Bollinger, an employee of the
Mason County Road Department.
They made their home in the
extreme upper portion of the
Skokomish Valley and there three
daughters were born to them -
Peggy, Barbara and Sandy.
Twenty years later, in
October, the family moved to a
home near the junction of
Highway 101 and the Skokomish
Valley Road; the following March
saw the opening of "Ted's
Drive-ln", which was operated by
Mr. and Mrs. Bollinger and Sandy,
the only daughter remaining at
home. Kay was widowed in 1967.
Self-educated by extensive
reading through the years, Mrs.
Bollinger nevertheless regretted

"When her family moved into
our neighborhood," said George
Barkley, "Mattie was just a little
girl with her hair in pig-tails. I had
to wait for her to grow up."
George was born in 1889 on a
farm near Garden City, S.D., and
he married Mattie in 1915.
"I lived for more than 50
years of my life on the very farm
where I was born," he stated.
In 1942 the Barkleys came to
spend a few weeks with a married
daughter in Tacoma. They never
went back to South Dakota,
except to visit. On the second
day of their stay with a son and
his wife who lived in Indianola,
George went to work as a
carpenter for the Austin
Construction Company.
He was before long
transferred to Whidby Island,
whele Naval Bases were being
built. In a year he was sent to
Tacoma, and in a few more
months came to Shelton to work
with the building of the air field.
From 1 944 until 1949 the
Barkleys lived in Mountain View
and once more worked with the
soil.
"Our land was sandy, but
good," George recalls, "and we
had nice gardens."

"Oh, how wonderful!"
I replied.
I rushed to the window
And asked, "Where is it?"
Alas, too slow,
I had missed its visit.
In the dear dead days of my
youth, which l can still remember
dimly, I passed through a period
in which I considered myself
quite a horsewoman. As were my
adolescent sons with their first
cars, so was I then with a horse. I
was a hot-rodder.
I delighted in the little tricks
that turn a calm and quiet mount
into a nervous wreck. With a sly
pressure here and there, and an
almost imperceptible twinge of
the bit, I managed to set a horse
prancing and dancing, tossing his
head and rearing; I mistakenly
thought that I was impressing my
old cow-poke step-dad.
When I arrived for a summer
visit at his ranch it was with a
great deal of discomfiture that 1
viewed the aged, bony,
swaybacked and mis-shapen
creature assigned to me.
Grumbling at the prospect of a
day on such a dead-head, I swung

twisted; he came down
stiff-legged in spine-jarring jumps.
I felt myself going.
"This is it," I thought. "I am
going to die embarrassingly
beneath the foundered feet of this
miserable beast."
A whistle blew, and suddenly
the universe ceased to rotate. I
clung limply to the saddle horn as
my step-dad approached.
"He's an old rodeo horse," he
explained. "He's quite
well-mannered with a reasonably
intelligent rider, and he does an
excellent job of educating the
ignorant."
