Estelle Starr attained the age of
nine years she was quite a cook.
She began to tell her
grandmother how it should be

You have to start early to
become a good cook!"

approximately equivalent of a
126-year-old human," she
explains, "and I've always been
healthy. I've never had a bit of
trouble except once about five
years ago when I went to sleep
under a pickup track. My rude
awakening was accompanied by a
grazed shoulder. Only a braise,
really?'
Lassie wears her age
beautifully and she is serene in
the knowledge that she is loved
as much today as she was before
her muzzle turned to silver.
"She's not senile!" declares
Mike Thomas. "She always
knows when it's dinner time!
And she looks forward to her
regular trips to the beauty
salon."
Lassie, you're a vain old
lady!
Happy Birthday!
!By FIDO DANFORD
"I was born on September
15, 1960 in the home of a
family who lived on Walker Park
Road," says Lassie. "My mother
was a cocker spaniel.
"I don't really remember my
father," she adds, "but I think
he was a Labrador. He and my master she prompt!y won the General Hospital Auxiliary and
mother were separated. As soon hearts of the, entire housoho!' St: David's Episcopal Church.
as possible,"
Almost 18 years ago, at the
age of six weeks, Lassie became
a birthday gift for nine-year-old
Nate Thomas, son of Berwyn
and Emma Thomas of Shelton.
Although Nate was officially her
and gave her affection freely in
return.
According to Mike Thomas,
brother of Nate, Lassie has
attended Washington State
University, the University of
Washington and Oregon State
University.
"She majored in family
planning," says Mike, "but failed
to earn a degree. She did,
however, receive commendation
"for attendance. She accompanied
my parents whenever they visited
me or my brother and sister."
In spite of her interest in the
subject, Lassie has never reared a
family. Her maternal tendencies
were nipped in the bud by the
rather drastic birth control
method called spaying. Her agile
mind soon turned to other
pursuits.
"I am a nature lover," she
confides, "and I consider myself
a connoisseur of the great
outdoors. I used to hunt
mushrooms with Mrs. Thomas."
Lassie claims an honorary
membership with groups whose
outings she has attended with
the Thomas family. These
include the Yacht Club, Mason
County Historical Society, Mason
Widely traveled, she has toured
California, Oregon, Canada and
most of the state of Washington.
"My youthful passion,"
Lassie reminisces, "was the
chasing of garbage men; but I
outgrew this game many years
ago. I've never considered myself
to be much of a watchdog, but I
liked to bark when people came
on my premises and I served as
companion and bodyguard for a
Mason County Health Nurse,
Mrs. Thomas.
"For the past year," she
continues somewhat sadly, "I've
been at a decided disadvantage. I
think I've only given out two or
three muffled woofs. I'm deaf,
you know, and 1 don't see too
well."
When a second dog, Ilka,
joined the family six years ago
Lassie was outraged. She learned
to accept the newcomer but the
generation gap prevented any
close communication between
the two. The recent addition of
a cat has been beneath her
notice.
Lassie is slowing down. She
walks with difficulty, but her
mind is clear and she recalls a
life as rich and happy as it has

of sugar and a half teaspoonful
of salt.
"Mix the ingredients well,"
says Leah, "then pinch off a
piece of dough, flatten it and fry
it in a pan using a quarter cupful
to a half cupful of oil; or you
can deep-fry it at 300 to 350
degrees. Fry until it's brown on
both sides."
During summer months Leah
spends a lot of time with her
grandparents. Throughout the
school year she is a weekend
visitor. While staying in the
Cooper home she takes over the
cooking duties.
"Grandma says I'm a better
cook than she is!" Leah states
proudly.
"I don't know about that,
though." she adds. "Sometimes I
make a mess of pancakes. I just
can't seem to turn them over
right."
