October
The lady behind the kitchen
scene was Ginger Reamer who,
with the assistance of Terry
Patten, prepared the impressive
repast.
"I'm a member of Women of
the Moose," Mrs. Reamer
explains, "and I was asked to be
co-chairperson because they liked
the way I had served dinners for
several Moose affairs."
Ginger Reamer, born and
reared in Port Angeles, moved as
a 1 5-year-old to Clallum Bay
where she was graduated from
high school.
"I was married as a high
school junior," she says. "After
graduation my husband and I
lived in Clallum Bay for a year,
and I worked as a babysitter.
"When I worked once a week
for a church group I had as
many as 15 children under my
supervision, and all of them
under the age of five years. I
cared for at least two children
on a daily basis."
In the winter of 1969 the
Reamers came to Shelton. Here
Ginger worked for two and a
half years in the Penney store
and from 1970 until 1973 she
taught classes in ceramics. In
1967 the couple had received a
license for the care of foster
children, and from that time on
opened their home to many
youngsters.
Merle and Ginger Reamer
and their daughter, Tammie, live
on a Dayton area acreage. They
have experimented with the
raising of pigs.
"We've had a ball!" Ginger
exclaims. "When Tammie was
eight years old she took her little
friends for rides on the backs of
the sows. They were as gentle as
our other pets!"
Other animals now owned by
the family include a collie dog,
five cats, two beef cattle,
chickens and turkeys. Ginger
obviously likes animals, and she
is also interested in growing
houeplants,, cooking, sewing and
alnst all ii;!r aft s.
"I make ribbon roses," she
says. "I made corsages for the
50th anniversary .of Women of
the Moose.
"I joined the Moose about a
year ago," she adds, "and since
then I haven't missed a thing. In
August I organized a luau. I
guess you'd have to call me the
coordinator. Local Samoans
provided the entertainment and I
cooked with the help of
assistants. '
"We served barbecued ribs,
barbecued salmon, baked salmon,
sweet and sour ribs, and octopus.
The octopus was ground and
deep fried in the form of fritters.
"We were hard pressed to
keep up with the demand. I
suspect that many people didn't
realize what they were eating,
but everybody loved it!"
colorful vests for Moose
members.
"I enjoy womanly hobbies,"
she declares. "I'm comfortable as
a woman. I know my capabilities
and I don't need to prove
anything to anybody."
When the Jolly Jesters open
the doors of the Moose Lodge
for their next dinner theater
production scheduled for
November 15, 18 and 19 the
cast will entertain on the stage
with a play called "The Last of
the Red Hot Lovers."
Ginger's role will be
portrayed in the kitchen. Prior
to the play theater goers will
dine on roast beef, vegetables,
potatoes and gravy, rolls, and an
assortment of gourmet delicacies
from a salad bar.
Ginger Reamer shares recipes
that are proven favorites with
her family and her friends. Her
old-fashioned raisin bars are a
cake-type cookie.
"They're tender, moist and
spicy," she states, "and great for
an after-school snack with a mug
of milk. For a really
old-fashioned flavor, make them
with lard instead of vegetable
shortening or oil.
