Lilliwaup
By DOLORES DRAKE
Mike and Corinne McGrsdy,
becoming well-known as the
couple who exchanged roles for a
year, resulting in Mike becoming a
househusband while Corinne
supplied the family income, were
Lilliwaup visitors on the weekend.
They came for a couple of restful
days with relatives, after winding
iup in Seattle a series of tours
!throughout the country in
promotion of Mike's new book,
*'Kitchen Sink Papers," telling the
story of their eventful year.
Published by Doubleday, the
book is serious in a humorous
WS~y.
Coming to Lilliwaup was a
I
sort of homecoming for Mike
because, with his mother and two
brothers, Pat Jr. and Seamus, he
had lived here and attended
school during World War II.
They were houseguests of the
author's brother and sister-in-law,
Seamus and Ann McGrady, who
have spent the past two years in
the Lilliwaup summer home of
their parents, Pat and Grace
McGrady of New York. As hosts
they were prepared to fulfill
Mike's nostalgic desire for Hood
Canal oysters, salmon and other
seafood.
Saturday morning John and
"Sammie" Robinson, uncle and
aunt, entertained the McGradys
with a brunch at their Lilliwaup

Creek cottage. The Robinsons'
son-in-law, Steve Morris of
Washington, D.C., was also a guest
and later in the day daughter
Frances of Tacoma arrived to see
her cousins.
Other relatives, cousins
Wi, ard and Thelma Boiling of
Hawaii and Portland, Oregon,
were here, overnight guests of the
Jack Cattos on Indian Beach.
"It was great having Corinne
with me," said Mike of their
experiences with interviews,
television shows and the
autographing of books. "When I
was stumped with a question, l
could always turn to Corinne."
They had been in the Midwest,
Florida and California before
coming to Seattle, spending about
a week at a time on the tour and
touching home base at Northport,
Long Island, to see their children,
Scan, Siobhan and Liam, between
visits.
Response in the Seattle area
and Alaska surprised the writer.
Family members supplied him
with local reviews they had not
seen. Mike enjoyed the caricature
of himself by a Seattle newspaper
artist.
When Mike and Corinne
return home they will continue
their new arrangement of taking
alternate weeks for household
management. Mike will continue
writing and his wife her growing
ur
"business of designing many
articles of plastic and jewelry, a
project she started in their
basement.
"Whose turn is it to take over
house chores when you get
back?" they were asked.
'Tm afraid it's my turn,"
Mike said ruefully.

The Shelton Public Library
has received a new edition of
Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, in
Robert Fitzgerald's translation,
given by Mr. and Mrs. Hal
McClary in memory of Mrs. Nell
Lewis.
When it first appeared in
1961, Fitzgerald's translation of
the Odyssey was praised by
scholars and critics as the freest
translation of that work in
modern English. William
Arrowsmith described it as "a
masterpiece... There will not be

our generation, and probably not
for several generations... It is as
good English as the Greek is
wonderful Greek. Translation can
do no more." When his
translation of the Iliad appeared
last year, Fitzgerald won further
acclaim for his fidelity to the
text, his sensitivity to its poetry,
and for the sheer readability of
his swift-moving,, demotic
English. The two volumes have
been published in a uniform
edition, illustrated with line
drawings by Hans Erni.
The library is most happy to
add this excellent work to its
collection.
