The son and the
daughter-in-law of Leona Clay
just couldn't resist playing Cupid.
When Leona came to Shelton
from Port Orchard in 1965 she
was a widow, and her son, Ernest
Dahlman, owner of Dahlman
Oyster Co. was married to Mud
Clay's daughter, Virginia. Mud
Clay was a widower.
Virginia, who had been
delivering oysters, became ill and
asked her dad to take over the
chore. She also suggested that he
take her mother-in-law along for
company. Leona became Mrs.
Mud Clay two and a half years
ago.
Well-known are Clay's
greenhouses where are grown
pansies, primroses and fuschias.
On the premises of their Spencer
Lake home wander flocks of
peacocks, 20 or more birds. Two
dogs and three Siamese cats are
family pets.
Leona Clay dropped many of
her former organizations when
she moved from her former home,
but she still retains membership in
the Eastern Star in Quilcene. She
also belongs to the Pickering
Homemakers Club.
She was for 14 years
employed in the South Kitsap
cafeteria, where she started as
cook and ended as manager. "I
still meet young people who
remember me," she states.
Many hobbies has Leona. She
dyes for bouquets the pampas
grass grown in her yard, and she
makes her own Christmas
decorations from styrofoam bails,
studded with sequins, beads, etc.;
she makes novelties of felt, ma ny

One should not speak
111 of the dead
For this is wrong,
Or so it's said;
But safer, this,
Than to contrive
To libel those
Who are alive.
It is entirely untrue that I was
last Monday morning sent out
into the wet and wicked wilds of
the flooded Skokomish Valley
armed only with a camera and a
rain bonnet.
Equally erroneous is the
rumor that I was told not to come
back without a fish-eye view of
the situation. I can't understand
how these stories get started.
Actually, I was merely asked
if I valued my job, and it was
suggested that there was no time
like the present to learn
underwater photography.
I most definitely was not told
to go jump in the river. I was
simply instructed to go down
with my shutter clicking, should
it come to that. It was requested
that I continue with the
picture-taking until I surfaced for
the third time, at which moment I
was to make an attempt to toss the
camera ashore. It was
emphasized, however, that I
wasn't to worry about it.
I was assured that no effort
would be spared to retrieve the
camera.

Upon my lawn
