Play is important in Walla Walla the play will truly be the thing when Shakespeare Walla Walla presents ldquoThe Merry Wives of Windsorrdquo at the newly restored Power House Theatre this month Lifestyles is teaming up with SWW for an inaugural event that will offer guests food fashion and merriment in the Elizabethan manner May 18 Check out our cover spread for a preview of the event
Winston Churchill may have described golf best when he said it ldquois a game whose aim is to hit a very small ball into an even smaller hole with weapons singularly ill-designed for the purposerdquo
So if you are going to pursue the sport it makes sense to get the best coaching possible Al Mundle who spent 57 years helping others improve their games thought he had put tinkering with other peoplersquos grip stance and swing away for good But that was before Terri Hanson convinced him to offer some pointers to her son Jake who was heading into his final year on the links for the Walla Walla High School Blue Devils
Jim Buchan shows you how this relationship has worked
Work to a lot of people can be repetitious drudgery Larry Adams never had that problem Whether he was flying into enemy fire in vietnam or piloting a helicopter for the president each day challenged his skills and preparation Adams recounts some of those adventures for Lifestyles
Skill and preparation are necessary ingredients for cooking Gina Medica tells how she learned to make culinary creations from Cuba Her specialty is a flan dessert
Dr Donald Smithrsquos specialty is creating an eye-catching garden of colorful flowers The iris is a primary element of his palette Check out his creations in Secret Gardens
Columnist Catie Mcintyre Walker explains how the original palette for the LrsquoEcole No 41 wine labels came from a childrsquos watercolor As the winery has matured it has decided it was time to update the labels

Walla Walla LifestyLes 11
Born in Miami and then raised in Central Los Angeles by her Cuban-born parents Medica learned her craft by observing her mother work in the kitchen Of all Medicarsquos culinary creations it is her Cuban flan dessert that receives the most requests
ldquoEveryone in the family would always request it especially my nieces and nephewrdquo Medica says sitting at her dining room table the freshly presented flan resting in front of her ldquoMy bro can easily eat half of itrdquo
And the flan does not remain uneaten for long as i sit down with the Walla Walla businesswoman and her daughter Elizabeth to discuss and taste this delicacy Minutes after we begin our conversation nephew Nick arrives and quickly wolfs down two servings
irsquove already finished my first and am working on my second when we begin our conversation
LifEStyLES With both of your parents being Havana natives did you eat Cuban food exclusively
MEDiCa No but in the early days Thanksgiving was pretty different My mom would fix the turkey but shersquod serve it with black beans and white rice Wersquod be ldquoAh mom canrsquot we have regular Thanksgiving food like mashed potatoes and yamsrdquo Those came later as we lived in the States longer
LifEStyLES So the food changed as you kids grew older
MEDiCa Well my mom was always pretty good at American food but sometimes it wasnrsquot all the way like she made American spaghetti but she put chicken in it it was good but my brother would always complain that it didnrsquot have meatballs Now he misses the chicken
LifEStyLES How many kids do you have in the family
MEDiCa i have an older brother and a younger sister irsquom the middle one We didnrsquot have a normal childhood in the sense that my mom was a hairstylist at home and on Saturday mornings customers would start arriving at 8 And she had one of those big old hair dryers

that you put over someonersquos head mdash we called it ldquoFidel Castrordquo mdash and yoursquod have these customers yelling at the top of their voice while they were under it So i never got to sleep in
LifEStyLES it sounds like your mother was quite a lady
MEDiCa i recently found some of her original recipes you know in her own handwriting One of them is for croquetta which was really good you take chicken with corned beef and grind them up bread it and then fry it itrsquos really goodrdquo
LifEStyLES Why do you like the flan so much
MEDiCa Because everyone in the family always requested it i make it a little different The way i make it it is a little more creamy because i use cream cheese itrsquos more like a custard Many times in Mexican restaurants the flan will be more jello-y This is almost like cheesecake
LifEStyLES is it strictly for dessert
MEDiCa yes itrsquos for special occasions
LifEStyLES Like birthdays and parties
MEDiCa yes itrsquos not light you canrsquot have too much or your stomach will start to ache
LifEStyLES Does it take a long time to prepare
MEDiCa Not really Making the caramel sauce takes the most time and you canrsquot take your eyes off it or it might burn
LifEStyLES Tastes like it didnrsquot burn
MEDiCa No i had lots of help My daughter Elizabeth (and she glances over at her youngest child) helped me a lot

When the flan is done baking let it rest and cool then place it in the refrigerator for 24 hours

The old Frenchtown schoolhouse built in 1915 with the stately bell tower still stands it has been a historic fixture in the Walla Walla valley that many of us have grown up with even if we never attended classes there One can still stride up the long sidewalk to the large heavy carved doors with a feeling of reverence and trepidation mdash as if it were the first day of school mdash while imagining generations of children playing on the manicured grounds
in the 1970s the old schoolhouse classrooms found themselves empty of childrenrsquos laughter But in 1983 Jean and Baker Ferguson breathed new life into the old building founding what would become one of the premier wineries in Washington LrsquoEcole No 41
The name was historically im-portant in two ways ldquoLrsquoEcolerdquo French for ldquothe schoolrdquo recognized the French men and women who settled the area and ldquo41rdquo was the numerical designation of the school district
The Fergusonsrsquo first crush of 1983 was resting in the barrel when the following year they asked their elementary school-aged family members to draw an image that would best reflect the new project
The $100 prize went to an 8-year-old cousin whose watercolor interpretation of the old schoolhouse became the template for a wine label it became an iconic label known to wine lovers around the world
in 1989 the second generation of the family Jean and Bakerrsquos daughter and son-
in-law Megan and Martin (Marty) Clubb became the new proprietors of the winery Marty became the general manager and winemaker and would lead the small artisan winery to new heights mdash it would eventually produce more than 30000 cases annually
At the same time the Washington state wine industry was booming and would soon become the nationrsquos second-largest wine producer The area would become one of the premium wine-producing regions in the United States
Marty also became a pioneer in the

Washington state wine industry as he became a founder and activist in many of the wine industryrsquos foundations and alliances The family-owned winery also partnered with some of the most prestigious vineyards in the state LrsquoEcole No 41 has been honored nine consecutive years by Wine amp Spirits magazine as ldquoWinery of the yearrdquo becoming the second Washington winery inducted into the Hall of Fame
There is a third-generation that has grown up around the winery and will eventually become caretakers of this legacy Meganrsquos and Martyrsquos children Jeanrsquos and Bakerrsquos grandchildren rebecca and riley Clubb had their own meaningful influence on the label with their childhood drawings on the labelrsquos chalkboard image
riley is a 2009 graduate of Whitman College and is employed at the winery rebecca is enrolled in Washington State Universityrsquos wine management program and expected to graduate in 2012
The winery will soon celebrate its 30th birthday The wines produced at the old schoolhouse are refined with true varietal character and can stand up against many coveted wines from France mdash and they have Now that LrsquoEcole is a top player in the world of wine the whimsical label on its bottles is no longer truly indicative of the sophisticated gold and dark-red liquids behind the glass
ldquoLooking to the future we wanted our label to reflect the winery we have becomerdquo says Marty Clubb
This year the winery will unveil a new label it will still depict the iconic schoolhouse but with deeper colors and a new texture There will be a distinct difference among the labels depending on the vineyards used Wines produced from Columbia valley vineyards will have a soft charcoal-colored background label and the labels for the wines produced from Walla Walla vineyards will be more sepia-toned
Another distinctive change will be the de-emphasizing of the ldquoNo 41rdquo as generations of wine lovers have often referred to the winery as ldquoLrsquoEcolerdquo
The new label will be a timeless reminder of the past as well as a welcome to future generations

it was 1954 the year he graduated from the University of Oregon and two female students from the university were interested in learning some of the finer points of the game
ldquoit was probably the worst lesson anybody has ever givenrdquo Mundle exclaimed shaking his head in dismay ldquoThese two young ladies were looking for some help and i worked with them for an hour-and-a-half And at the end of that time i said lsquoi have done such a poor job i will pay you for the time i have put you through this torturersquordquo

Painful as it was the lesson learned proved to be a career-launching moment for Mundle who dedicated himself to his trade and spent a lifetime in the golf business successfully working up and down the i-5 corridor as course operator teacher and player
Fifty-seven years after that first teaching debacle Mundle now 79 years old is retired and living in Walla Walla He and his wife Ann relocated here last summer determined to give up teaching golf and spend more time playing the game they both love
ldquoAfter all of these years of teaching i feel that this is the time to lay it asiderdquo Mundle said ldquoi will still do a little studying of the golf swing and methods and i will be involved with some of the other local professionals in some cracker-barrel sessions when they get together to discuss teaching methods problems and how to solve them
ldquoBut i really came here not to teach but to play some golfrdquo
That was the plan anyway before he was introduced to Walla Walla High School senior Jake Hanson who was looking for a little extra help with his game heading into his final year on the links as a Blue Devil
Terri Hanson Jakersquos mother was aware of Mundlersquos reputation as a teaching professional and heard through the grapevine he was living in Walla Walla
ldquoBeing the mom i am i called him one dayrdquo Terri remembered ldquoi told him that Jakersquos golf game was at a standstill i asked him to take a look at Jake and he agreed to come and meet us and get a feel for where Jake was at
ldquoHe did and before you knew it they were putting on our hardwood floors The next day they agreed to get together at Wine valley mdash they were there for four hours and it has been an amazing connection right from the beginning
ldquoAl is an amazing Christian man who is so well-respected in his fieldrdquo Terri added ldquoAnd he just demands respect irsquom seeing my son of 17 all of a sudden growing uprdquo
Mundle concedes he is intrigued by Hansonrsquos character and potential And
Under the watchful eye of Al Mundle Jake Hanson hits an iron shot

Hanson holds his new mentor in high esteem
ldquoirsquove learned a tremendous amountrdquo Hanson said ldquoHe has a way of getting through to me in a positive way He got through to me that i am so much better than i thought i could be He has more confidence in me than i have in myself
ldquoHe has one of the best golf swings i have ever seen and he is still working on his own gamerdquo
Mundle said Hanson reminds him of former University of Oregon player Ben Crane who now plays on the PGA Tour Crane has been playing professionally since 2007 and earned nearly $3 million on the tour in 2010
ldquoi was Benrsquos swing coach at Oregon and Jake is somewhat similarrdquo Mundle said ldquoBen worked harder than anybody on the whole golf team He would put in as much
time as three or four others combined and Jake is very much the same way Hersquos very dedicatedrdquo
However Mundle insists that helping Hanson with his game is a one-time situation
After playing just six rounds of golf last year Mundle is determined that he and Ann will spend a lot more time on the golf course as they get acquainted with their new hometown
ldquoThatrsquos an all-time lowrdquo he said of the six rounds played in 2010 ldquoMostly it was the move and all mdash a new house putting in lawn fencing shelving in the garage mdash all the little things of getting settled
ldquoBut this was a good move for us We love it here We enjoy the weather and the people you can walk down the street and people look you in the eye and say lsquoHellorsquo i love that friendlinessrdquo
Mundle grew up in Eugene and graduated from University High School in 1950 He knew he said from the time he was in the seventh grade he wanted to make golf his lifersquos work
ldquoyou might say that i had a little parental directionrdquo Mundle said ldquoMy dad went to the University of St Andrews in Scotland and he played golf at the St Andrews Old Course And my mother also played golfrdquo
After high school Mundle enrolled at the University of Oregon and played three years of varsity golf during an era when there was no such thing as a golf scholarship
ldquoThe only thing we ever received was a half-a-dozen golf balls if we went into a tournamentrdquo Mundle recalled ldquoWhen i went to the NCAA Championships in Texas my senior year i was given a new

pair of golf shoes but that was itldquoWe bought all of our own gear mdash
clubs bags rain gear everything itrsquos a whole different ball game today They have everythingrdquo
At the end of his sophomore year at Oregon Mundle had it in his mind to ldquotest my golf on the PGA Tourrdquo he said But his father an English professor at the university discouraged him
ldquoHe said lsquoGet your education first then you can do whatever you wantrsquordquo Mundle said ldquoit was just as well i saved a lot of wear and tear mdash and money i was an Ok player but not of that caliberrdquo
Mundle still has fond memories of his collegiate playing career however
ldquoi played three years for the university mdash you werenrsquot allowed to play as freshmen mdash and Oregon always had fine golf teamsrdquo Mundle said ldquoit was mostly match
play then and i was there during the time that the school went seven straight years without losing a (team) dual matchrdquo
During his senior year Mundle qualified for the NCAA Championships in Houston From a field of about 160 players Mundle made it as far as the quarterfinal round
He graduated in 1954 with a degree in history which he said he never really used
ldquoMy dad was in the top one percent of his class at St Andrewsrdquo Mundle said ldquoMy mother was also in the top part of her class and my older brother Pete was in the top of his class And then i came alongrdquo
His first golf job was as an assistant pro at his home course the Laurelwood Golf Course a position he accepted shortly after graduating from UO This was when and where the infamous first golf lesson
occurredA two-year stint in the US Army took
Mundle away from his profession in 1955-56 But he managed to keep his golf game sharp as a member of the Fort knox golf team and in 1956 he was the runner-up in the Second Army tournament and he placed 13th in the All-Army tournament
Then it was back to the Willamette valley where he came into his own in the Portland area under head professionals Eddie Hogan at riverside Country Club and Bunny Mason at Columbia Edgewater
ldquoThose two people were very influential in my professional liferdquo Mundle said
ldquoEddie was a very fine teacher of the total golf operation and service was No 1 i learned how to run the pro shop how
Jake Hanson takes a few pointers on chipping from his instructor and mentor Al Mundle
Continued on pg 20 gt
20 Walla Walla LifestyLes
people ltcontinued from pg 19
to market and merchandise mdash everything from how to run the club service program to the electric cart program to basically running the golf course
ldquoBunny was also a very fine operator of a golf shop and i also learned a lot about teaching from Bunny Sometimes you go along in life and there are certain mentors who help you along the way Anybody who says they made it by themselves is not being honest with themselves We have all had someone who has given us a little boost along the wayrdquo
Mundle took his first head professional job in 1965 at Overlake Golf and Country Club in Bellevue where he remained until 1981 At that point he returned to Eugene and was the head pro at the Eugene Country Club for three years followed by a six-year stint at the Bear Creek Country Club in Seattle
He also spent a short time at a golf course in Cottage Grove Ore before moving back to Eugene for a third time in 1993 to become the director of golf instruction at the river ridge Golf Course He remained at river ridge until his retirement last summer During his time there he helped out as the swing coach at UO under then-head coach Steve Nosler
Through it all Mundle served as president of the Washington PGA and the Pacific Northwest PGA and was a member of several National PGA committees As a player he participated in the Oregon Washington and Pacific Northwest opens as well as the Washington and Oregon PGA events One of his highlights was winning the Oregon Senior PGA Match-Play Championships in Bend in 1993
ldquoi felt i had an obligation to participaterdquo Mundle said ldquoi played a lot of golf including many many pro-ams and i won a couple of assistant championshipsrdquo
in addition to Crane Mundle also helped shape the careers of Jeff Quinney and Eric Johnson both of whom are from the Eugene area
Quinney won the United States Amateur championship in 2000 and represented the US in the Walker Cup in 2001 He has appeared in 128 PGA Tour events since 2007 placing second twice and third twice
Johnson played several years on the Asian Tour and one on the Nationwide Tour He is now a head professional at a

course in San rafael CalifldquoAnd there have been some others mdash
Brian Henninger Mike Gove a few others mdash who have called and wanted to discus their swingrdquo Mundle said ldquoNothing on a regular basis just one or two sessionsrdquo
is Hanson his next mdash and perhaps his last mdash prodigy
Thatrsquos a tricky question since Hanson came to golf late after a budding baseball career was derailed by a shoulder injury He was a first-team all-Big Nine Conference golf selection as a junior but has yet to qualify for state and his summer resume is thin because of his baseball background
Hansonrsquos original plan was to attend Walla Walla Community College and play golf for the Warriors with the hope of earning an NCAA Division i scholarship But he has since decided to enroll in Arizona State Universityrsquos Professional Golf Management program and try out for the ASU golf team as a walk on
ldquoMore than anything i think it came down to him evaluating his goalsrdquo said Jakersquos father Gary Hanson ldquoitrsquos everyonersquos dream to play on the PGA Tour but realistically he wants to be a golf pro and teach He loves
the gamerdquoAnd a degree in the PGM program
will provide Jake with the educational background he needs to be successful in any form of business his father added
Though his chances of making the ASU varsity team seem unlikely the PGM program provides a club golf team that participates in a series of tournaments throughout the year and gives Hanson a second playing option
And keeping your options open is optimum at this point Mundle said
ldquoi think his driving force at this time mdash and also his folks mdash is to get his education And then he can do whatever he wants if he doesnrsquot go into (the golfing business) immediately he will always have it as a backuprdquo
Sounds an awful lot like the advice Thomas Mundle offered his son back in the spring of 1952 when Al Mundle wanted to leave school after his sophomore year and test his wings on the PGA Tour And as we now know all these years later staying in school worked out pretty well for Al

T H E A T R EPOWER HOUSE
My director Terry Edward Moore told me his only direction from the artistic director was that it be ldquoperiodrdquo that is to say authentic to the time
ldquoMerry Wivesrdquo is the only one of Shakespearersquos plays that is set in his own time so it was decided to present it as if the actors were people of the time doing what would be a contemporary (to the late 16th century) play
i started to research the clothing of the time how it was constructed and what kinds of fabrics were available at the time mdash linens homespuns woolens for the common people and silks damasks velvets and furs for the upper classes i discovered that Elizabethan society was strictly regulated in terms of social classes and upward mobility was a little-known concept Once a yeoman always a yeoman i also discovered the set of rules and regulations called ldquosumptuary lawsrdquo which specifically dictated what types of fabrics trims furs and even what colors each class was allowed to wear
Since there are three distinct classes represented in ldquoMerry Wivesrdquo mdash merchant class soldiers and servants mdash i tried to give each class its own color palette based on these laws The overall palette of the show is based on colors actually in use at the time
The availability of dyes was limited (except for the nobility) so the palette consists of many shades of yellows and browns russets black some greens and blue-grays and of course wheat-colored unbleached linen i turned to the Dutch painter Brueghel for inspiration on how the common people looked and dressed
i also researched what kinds of dyes were used and where they came from Dyes were created from all sorts of different things such as walnut shell crushed beetles and all kinds of roots i found a website that sells these authentic dyestuffs so irsquom using the real thing to dye some of the linen pieces and will coordinate the contemporary fabrics to these authentic colors
Nearly every piece will need something done to it mdash altered in some way to fit the actor re-trimmed rigged invisibly for quick changes etc mdash so there is a lot of labor involved Also hats were a hugely important part of Elizabethan fashion all the way down to the poorest serf
Certain styles of hats were often associated with certain professions mdash eg doctors scholars mdash so there are a number of hats to build as well as headpieces for the women No self-respecting woman went about with her head uncovered
Putting together a show like this is like putting together a giant jigsaw puzzle and the pieces are the costumes that irsquove borrowed and rented from other theater companies in the Seattle area such as Seattle repertory Seattle Opera and the University of Washington as well as pieces from Oregon Shakespeare Festival i design the show and then go out into the world and try to find pieces that approximate my designs and palette as closely as possible (usually with some reworking first) The pieces that i cant find and dont want to compromise on i build from scratch

But thatrsquos exactly what longtime Walla Walla resident Larry Adams did for four years He was one of a select group of pilots for Marine One the helicopter counterpart of the presidential airplane Air Force One from 1970 to 1974

Long before Adams became the Walla Walla Airport manager he was transporting heads of state foreign dignitaries famous (and now infamous) Cabinet members the executive staff and President richard M Nixon during one of the nationrsquos most turbulent times the withdrawal from vietnam and the Watergate scandal
But to Adams a native of Northern idaho all that swirled around the Nixon presidency was the least of his concerns His job was to transport the president safely to Andrews Air Force Base or Camp David or fly any short flight required Safety always at a premium End of story
Many times Adams ferried President Nixon and his staff on short flights far away from home Air Force One might fly President Nixon to a summit or a meeting with a foreign head of state but Marine One and Adams were always nearby to shuttle the chief executive on short flights or to whisk him away from sudden danger
Pretty heady stuff for a fourth-grade teacher who had never thought about flying until a Marine recruiter offered him the opportunity Although Adams had watched planes take off and land at a nearby air base as a child he had never given serious thought to flying it was more a need for a bigger paycheck than passion that brought Adams to his destiny
He liked teaching but it just wasnrsquot paying the bills So Adams turned to the military and the Gi Bill After being unimpressed by other recruiters Adams took a liking to the fellow from the Marines for as Adams recalls the recruiter took an interest in him After about an hour of talking the recruiter suggested Adams might have the potential to be a pilot
Having easily passed some preliminary tests Adams was sent to flight school in Pensacola Fla and a stellar career was ready to take off He performed well in all the aircraft he piloted but he showed a special skill for helicopters
Up until 1965 fixed-wing airplanes were the staple of all military air combat But the military had been gearing up for a big change The helicopter was to become a major part of combat The Pentagon had been developing helicopters that would do much more than transport troops to bases Now they would assist in bombing
raids ground attacks and the evacuation of the injured from the point of combat This new breed of helicopters would also possess the ability to fight back and not be lame ducks as before the new H34 would tote machine guns on each side
These cutting-edge aircraft would travel at unprecedented speeds with newly discovered agility Gifted pilots were needed not those who merely possessed superior technical skills but those who also had the composure to fly straight into
enemy fire in the dead of night picking up injured soldiers or aiding air attacks
Adams was one of those pilots and he would be one of two squadron leaders for ldquoOperation Starliterdquo mdash the first major assault using helicopters The Marines were going straight into a North vietnamese regimental stronghold No one knew what to expect
ldquoWe lost a lot that first time inrdquo says Adams ldquoTwo crew chiefs were killed
Continued on pg 32 gt
In this newspaper clipping Larry Adams poses on the steps of the helicopter dubbed Marine One which he piloted for President Richard M Nixon

people ltcontinued from pg 31
four pilots were medevaced out because of their wounds i donrsquot think there was one helicopter that didnrsquot have a bunch of holes in it The one i flew in we got a lot of rounds in it Amazingly no one was hurt but when we got back the helicopter was so shot-up you couldnrsquot fly it anymore We lost 50 percent of our helicopters that dayrdquo
in the next 13 months Adams would fly many more missions often heading straight into anti-aircraft fire to pick up injured or killed soldiers He says he would see the flares signifying where the copter was supposed to land but frequently hersquod have to veer off because ground communication would say ldquoThe artillery is too hotrdquo Then there would be a window maybe two minutes maybe five when the helicopter could drop in and pick up the injured often being shot at as it waited for its passengers
Adams knew the best way to survive was to keep his focus ldquoin the daylight when you start your run in and yoursquore getting shot at Everything went to black and white for me i didnrsquot notice the green trees or the green rice paddies until we got out of there and then it would come back
to me i donrsquot know what that was i just didnrsquot see the colors irsquove talked to some other pilots and they described the same thingrdquo
in his two tours of duty in vietnam Adams would fly 880 combat missions in several types of helicopters and fixed-wing airplanes He received numerous medals including two Navy commendations for performance under combat conditions
Then the call came to fly for the president Before Adams could tote the commander in chief around in Marine One a thorough background check had to be done So thorough was the check that Adams said a friend from his hometown sent him a card that read ldquoAre you in some kind of trouble Jesus therersquos been a bunch of people around here with the dark grey suits and the skinny little ties Theyrsquore asking all these embarrassing questions about you like did you have drinking problem Did you have a gambling problem Do you know what Larryrsquos sexual preference wasrdquo
Adams chuckles ldquoit was pretty funnyrdquoAdams passed the grade and soon
he was flying President Nixon and his family to Camp David or picking up vice
President Spiro Agnew at the Pentagon or taking Secretary of State Henry kissinger or Secretary of Defense Alexander Haig to a classified meeting Although his flights varied from transporting foreign heads of state to flying members of the press the majority involved the president the vice president kissinger and Haig
The pilots did not speak to their travelers unless spoken to says Adams President Nixon usually looked in and asked them how they were kissinger never spoke Haig was good for a pat on the shoulder now and then but it was Agnew who conversed the most says Adams
Adams remembers ldquoOne time we picked him up at the Pentagon and we had taken off and had hit top altitude He usually would come up and look into the cockpit but this time he patted me on the shoulder and asked lsquoWell howrsquos it going today guysrsquordquo Adams replied ldquoNot bad sir and how about yourselfrdquo
Agnew answered ldquoMan they are really after my assrdquo He was talking about the press Adams says ldquoTwo weeks later he resignedrdquo
Adams recalls that his encounters with Agnew as defying the public perception
Adams far right gives instructions before a mission in Vietnam
Walla Walla LifestyLes 33
that Agnew was arrogant ldquoHe was always one of the nicest guys He was straightforward He looked like he had just stepped off the cover of Gentlemenrsquos Quarterly all the time He was very proper in the way he dressed but he had a sense of humor as wellrdquo
There were other humorous moments Adams recalls a certain reporter from CBS who had been a major thorn in President Nixonrsquos side was late for takeoff from the South Lawn of the White House one morning Just as Marine One was about to leave without him he came running across the lawn hollering and waving his arms The Secret Service agent supervising the flight told Adams to ldquojust gordquo The wind from the propellers whipped the reporterrsquos toupee right off his head and instead of continuing his run toward Marine One he reversed his field and tried feverishly to retrieve his toupee snagged in the hedges
ldquoEveryone got a pretty good chuckle out of thatrdquo
Of course there were somber times At one point Adams flew Cabinet members John Ehrlichman and Hr Haldeman to Camp David for a meeting with the president After only 15 minutes the two men returned and Marine One headed home Adams says it was a quiet flight He found out later the two men had been fired by President Nixon for their parts in the Watergate scandal
Whisking the president away from danger was a major part of being a pilot of Marine One Stationed across the river from the Capitol pilots awakened by an emergency alert had to be up in the air in five minutes This exercise was practiced often though never needed during Adamsrsquo tenure
One night however they thought it was The operator at the White House mistakenly hit the ldquoAlertrdquo button Marine One was in the air in five minutes
Although ground control had not spotted any enemy aircraft the operation was under way As Marine One closed in on the White House the operator at fault tried to alert everyone of his mistake but unfortunately used a poor choice of words to call off the operation
Adams chuckles as he says ldquoThe fella said lsquoThis is not an exercisersquo He was moved to another post i thinkrdquo
All levity aside the position required
the same kind of focus demanded of Adams in vietnam though it came in a different form
ldquoThere were three things the way you operated the aircraft and they were in this order safety comfort and speed Safety never gave in to comfort or speedrdquo says Adams ldquoOur job was just concentrating on doing our job it could have been anybody mdash we would do it the same way it could have been Fred Flintstone
ldquoThe difference between flying for the White House and in vietnam was we were flying a premier aircraft We had to keep it impeccably clean everything was scripted We had to have the lsquoopen-the-door timersquo down to two to four seconds in vietnam it was the stress of performing medevacs under fire or dropping troops under heavy artillery For Marine One it was the stress of doing the job rightrdquo
Also the stress of being away from onersquos family 200 days of the year wore on a Marine One pilot in 1974 after four years on the job the toll became too much and Adams stepped down
He would stay with the Marines for eight more years retiring in August 1982
By then he had received 44 Air Medals including the Joint Service Commendation and the Presidential Service Badge in his 20 years of service Adams flew seven different helicopters and five different fixed-wing planes
What makes an elite military pilot ldquoPilots who donrsquot have any misgivingsrdquo says Adams ldquoTheyrsquore totally prepared they know their aircraftrdquo
When talking about his colleagues on Marine One he adds ldquoNone were boasters They might brag about a great landing but they did not brag in spite of someone elserdquo
What did Adams love most about his flying days ldquoi enjoyed flying with the latest technology and the pristine quality of Marine One i loved the process of building my skills i could have flown another 40 years and i would still be learning thingsrdquo
is it any surprise his favorite hobby now is fly fishing

it is astonishing in many ways mdash that we are presented with two weeks of top-drawer music performed by top-drawer musi-cians that there are so many ways to encounter the music (many of them free) and that a rural community has provided the incu-
bator for such a cultural undertaking to name but a fewGranted we are not your average rural community having two
colleges a university a symphony a choral society a community band and music in the schools but letrsquos face it wersquore not exactly a cosmopolitan center of culture like New york either The Cham-ber Music Festival mdash and our continued support of it through some tough times mdash puts us in a category all our own

worked hard to start this event and to my great joy it has taken on an iden-tity of its own i hire the musicians and choose the music but the town its people and its environs make the festivalrdquo
The beauty of chamber music is its intimacy mdash smaller ensembles performing for smaller audiences it has been referred to as ldquothe music of friendsrdquo which seems so apt at this festival Free open rehearsals are held around town that provide not only a musical atmosphere in which to enjoy a latte or the ambiance of the kirkman House but which give a richer look into the machinations of a working ensemble
As one enthusiastic fan puts it ldquoi am not a musician and itrsquos fascinat-ing to watch these rehearsals to see the interactions of the musicians as they work out the snags make wry remarks and relate to each other in a whole different way than during a for-mal performance i get a glimpse into their personalities and what makes them tickrdquo
The festival supplies a generous of-fering of venues with free concerts for children and families relaxed evening programs at wineries and full concerts at the Foundry Chism Hall and Day-tonrsquos Liberty Theater
if you are lucky enough to live near the musiciansrsquo lodgings while they are in town you may also be treated to an ad hoc front-porch concert as the ensembles continue their rehearsals in more private settings The festival is about all of these ways mdash planned and accidental mdash to experience the enchantment of chamber music
it is also about historic continuity and the connection between past and present mdash relishing the existing canon while expanding the genre with con-temporary forms and voices
How is this accomplished in part by the annual commission of a new piece of music for the festival Chris-tie is committed to contributing to the broader chamber music repertoire and to providing the audience with the richest possible experience

ldquoFor classical music to be relevant there must be a conversation between the music of our time and the music of the pastrdquo he says
By commissioning a work for the festi-val each year Christie creates such a con-versation
This year the commission was given to John David Earnest Four festival commis-sions have preceded his and he is the sec-ond ldquolocalrdquo composer to be tapped add-ing another layer of relationship between community and event (in 2009 Whitman College professor David Glenn was given the nod)
As visiting adjunct professor of music at Whitman Earnest resides here for six weeks every semester His ldquoSecond Sym-phonyrdquo was written for and performed by the Walla Walla Symphony in October 2001
The challenge for the yearly commis-sionee is to compose a piece on demand within specific constraints of time place and instrumentation while expressing hisher own voice as an artist
Earnest has created ldquoCommedia Gal-leryrdquo a set of three movements for flute
viola and harp based on stock characters from the Commedia dellrsquoArte a popu-lar theatrical form that was influential in Europe for over 300 years Commedia characters improvised dialogue around set scenarios generally involving the struggles of young lovers to overcome hindrances to their romance and each character even-tually came to have a consistent set of at-tributes in speech mannerisms and cos-tume
Earnestrsquos ldquoGalleryrdquo gives us Arlecchi-no (Harlequin) an acrobatic and devious jester Pierrot the classic sad clown and finally Scaramouche a dandy and a brag-gart who is a coward at heart
in anticipation of this yearrsquos festival i am reminded of the scene in ldquoThe Music Manrdquo in which the town awaits the ar-rival of the Wells Fargo Wagon Potentially heaped with gifts and surprises it prom-ises connection to the larger world The WWCMF brings us all ldquosomethinrsquo specialrdquo mdash an enrichment of our community and our culture

Smith has gardened for years at his home at 38 Mulberry Court in College Place He used to grow vegetables and flowers now he is strictly focusing on flowers mdash with fabulous results roses delphiniums and lots of irises line the fence
ldquoirises mdash irsquove always enjoyed themrdquo he says ldquoThey take a little bit of weeding and watering but not much morerdquo itrsquos the gardenerrsquos dream mdash low maintenance with a big return
A retired orthopedic surgeon Smith has in the past gardened more extensively than he does now But he has enough plants to keep him busy His new project is planting more of the reblooming iris These are still hardy but you get twice the reward they bloom in the spring then again in the fall
ldquoTheyrsquore easy to grow and spectacular for a short time iris take less care than a lot of thingsrdquo Smith says
His secret for gardening is simple and therersquos no getting around it ldquoTime and workrdquo he laughs
Hersquos getting ready to start in the garden ldquoi need to clean out the leaves and the old foliage of the irisrdquo
in addition to the basic cleaning and maintenance Smith just decides how many plants to keep Bulb flowers are hardy and they multiply on their own
ldquoAfter five years you usually have to separate the bulbs when they get too thick i donrsquot have room to add more i put in the new re-blooming onesrdquo he explains ldquoi may add more and a few other thingsrdquo
But in a garden you can always try something new or rearrange existing plants often with a spectacular outcome

itrsquos an odd location since it can only be seen as yoursquore leaving town but it always makes me smile This valley my adopted home is indeed a great place to be
i recently finished reading the great Western writer Wallace Stegnerrsquos book ldquoThe Sound of Mountain Waterrdquo One of his essays traces his nomadic childhood which left him feeling rootless and without a place that he felt he could call home
i identify with his feeling of not belonging i was born to a single woman from Massachusetts in a New york City hospital i stayed a scant few days before being placed with an adoption agency Born in a place i had no familial connection to i was immediately deprived of my biological family Most of my childhood was spent in suburban Cleveland Ohio Moves to upstate New york New England and Pennsylvania brought me no closer to calling any place home i loved living in the western Massachusetts town of Stockbridge but the multigenerational denizens of the town left few openings for newcomers like me i lived in central Pennsylvania for several decades but felt detached from the deep roots that most people had in the area
When we came west (for my husband a homecoming to his Oregon roots for me a new experience) i noticed that even in long-established towns like Walla Walla there is ample room for newcomers who want to be
part of the community And most folks who choose to come here donrsquot seem to want to change the valley they prefer to embrace it
While the occasional newbie whines about the lack of Whole Foods or Nordstrom they soon discover our farmers markets the wide variety of local shops and boutiques and our world-class restaurants They fall in love with our charming downtowns the small-town friendliness of the people and our kid-friendly environment Then therersquos the holiday parade the fair the ever-present Blue Mountains the parks the museums the wineries mdash really whatrsquos not to like The communities of our valley represent America at its best
irsquom a newspaper junkie i love to read everything from news to sports to classifieds mdash even the obituaries The obits are a fascinating window on our valley Many of the people chronicled were born here some lived all their lives here inextricably bound to this place But a number of people came here from other places often far away and have made a mark on our area Which makes me wonder mdash is a place any less of a hometown because you choose it or is it based primarily on the happenstance of your birth it seems that therersquos room for both paths to calling this wonderful valley home
itrsquos also our strength because collectively as a community we bring both deep familial and cultural traditions as well as the fresh perspective of newcomers to our area irsquom glad mdash after decades of searching mdash that i finally found my hometown a place that feels just right

Play is important in Walla Walla the play will truly be the thing when Shakespeare Walla Walla presents ldquoThe Merry Wives of Windsorrdquo at the newly restored Power House Theatre this month Lifestyles is teaming up with SWW for an inaugural event that will offer guests food fashion and merriment in the Elizabethan manner May 18 Check out our cover spread for a preview of the event
Winston Churchill may have described golf best when he said it ldquois a game whose aim is to hit a very small ball into an even smaller hole with weapons singularly ill-designed for the purposerdquo
So if you are going to pursue the sport it makes sense to get the best coaching possible Al Mundle who spent 57 years helping others improve their games thought he had put tinkering with other peoplersquos grip stance and swing away for good But that was before Terri Hanson convinced him to offer some pointers to her son Jake who was heading into his final year on the links for the Walla Walla High School Blue Devils
Jim Buchan shows you how this relationship has worked
Work to a lot of people can be repetitious drudgery Larry Adams never had that problem Whether he was flying into enemy fire in vietnam or piloting a helicopter for the president each day challenged his skills and preparation Adams recounts some of those adventures for Lifestyles
Skill and preparation are necessary ingredients for cooking Gina Medica tells how she learned to make culinary creations from Cuba Her specialty is a flan dessert
Dr Donald Smithrsquos specialty is creating an eye-catching garden of colorful flowers The iris is a primary element of his palette Check out his creations in Secret Gardens
Columnist Catie Mcintyre Walker explains how the original palette for the LrsquoEcole No 41 wine labels came from a childrsquos watercolor As the winery has matured it has decided it was time to update the labels

Walla Walla LifestyLes 11
Born in Miami and then raised in Central Los Angeles by her Cuban-born parents Medica learned her craft by observing her mother work in the kitchen Of all Medicarsquos culinary creations it is her Cuban flan dessert that receives the most requests
ldquoEveryone in the family would always request it especially my nieces and nephewrdquo Medica says sitting at her dining room table the freshly presented flan resting in front of her ldquoMy bro can easily eat half of itrdquo
And the flan does not remain uneaten for long as i sit down with the Walla Walla businesswoman and her daughter Elizabeth to discuss and taste this delicacy Minutes after we begin our conversation nephew Nick arrives and quickly wolfs down two servings
irsquove already finished my first and am working on my second when we begin our conversation
LifEStyLES With both of your parents being Havana natives did you eat Cuban food exclusively
MEDiCa No but in the early days Thanksgiving was pretty different My mom would fix the turkey but shersquod serve it with black beans and white rice Wersquod be ldquoAh mom canrsquot we have regular Thanksgiving food like mashed potatoes and yamsrdquo Those came later as we lived in the States longer
LifEStyLES So the food changed as you kids grew older
MEDiCa Well my mom was always pretty good at American food but sometimes it wasnrsquot all the way like she made American spaghetti but she put chicken in it it was good but my brother would always complain that it didnrsquot have meatballs Now he misses the chicken
LifEStyLES How many kids do you have in the family
MEDiCa i have an older brother and a younger sister irsquom the middle one We didnrsquot have a normal childhood in the sense that my mom was a hairstylist at home and on Saturday mornings customers would start arriving at 8 And she had one of those big old hair dryers

that you put over someonersquos head mdash we called it ldquoFidel Castrordquo mdash and yoursquod have these customers yelling at the top of their voice while they were under it So i never got to sleep in
LifEStyLES it sounds like your mother was quite a lady
MEDiCa i recently found some of her original recipes you know in her own handwriting One of them is for croquetta which was really good you take chicken with corned beef and grind them up bread it and then fry it itrsquos really goodrdquo
LifEStyLES Why do you like the flan so much
MEDiCa Because everyone in the family always requested it i make it a little different The way i make it it is a little more creamy because i use cream cheese itrsquos more like a custard Many times in Mexican restaurants the flan will be more jello-y This is almost like cheesecake
LifEStyLES is it strictly for dessert
MEDiCa yes itrsquos for special occasions
LifEStyLES Like birthdays and parties
MEDiCa yes itrsquos not light you canrsquot have too much or your stomach will start to ache
LifEStyLES Does it take a long time to prepare
MEDiCa Not really Making the caramel sauce takes the most time and you canrsquot take your eyes off it or it might burn
LifEStyLES Tastes like it didnrsquot burn
MEDiCa No i had lots of help My daughter Elizabeth (and she glances over at her youngest child) helped me a lot

The old Frenchtown schoolhouse built in 1915 with the stately bell tower still stands it has been a historic fixture in the Walla Walla valley that many of us have grown up with even if we never attended classes there One can still stride up the long sidewalk to the large heavy carved doors with a feeling of reverence and trepidation mdash as if it were the first day of school mdash while imagining generations of children playing on the manicured grounds
in the 1970s the old schoolhouse classrooms found themselves empty of childrenrsquos laughter But in 1983 Jean and Baker Ferguson breathed new life into the old building founding what would become one of the premier wineries in Washington LrsquoEcole No 41
The name was historically im-portant in two ways ldquoLrsquoEcolerdquo French for ldquothe schoolrdquo recognized the French men and women who settled the area and ldquo41rdquo was the numerical designation of the school district
The Fergusonsrsquo first crush of 1983 was resting in the barrel when the following year they asked their elementary school-aged family members to draw an image that would best reflect the new project
The $100 prize went to an 8-year-old cousin whose watercolor interpretation of the old schoolhouse became the template for a wine label it became an iconic label known to wine lovers around the world
in 1989 the second generation of the family Jean and Bakerrsquos daughter and son-
in-law Megan and Martin (Marty) Clubb became the new proprietors of the winery Marty became the general manager and winemaker and would lead the small artisan winery to new heights mdash it would eventually produce more than 30000 cases annually
At the same time the Washington state wine industry was booming and would soon become the nationrsquos second-largest wine producer The area would become one of the premium wine-producing regions in the United States
Marty also became a pioneer in the

Washington state wine industry as he became a founder and activist in many of the wine industryrsquos foundations and alliances The family-owned winery also partnered with some of the most prestigious vineyards in the state LrsquoEcole No 41 has been honored nine consecutive years by Wine amp Spirits magazine as ldquoWinery of the yearrdquo becoming the second Washington winery inducted into the Hall of Fame
There is a third-generation that has grown up around the winery and will eventually become caretakers of this legacy Meganrsquos and Martyrsquos children Jeanrsquos and Bakerrsquos grandchildren rebecca and riley Clubb had their own meaningful influence on the label with their childhood drawings on the labelrsquos chalkboard image
riley is a 2009 graduate of Whitman College and is employed at the winery rebecca is enrolled in Washington State Universityrsquos wine management program and expected to graduate in 2012
The winery will soon celebrate its 30th birthday The wines produced at the old schoolhouse are refined with true varietal character and can stand up against many coveted wines from France mdash and they have Now that LrsquoEcole is a top player in the world of wine the whimsical label on its bottles is no longer truly indicative of the sophisticated gold and dark-red liquids behind the glass
ldquoLooking to the future we wanted our label to reflect the winery we have becomerdquo says Marty Clubb
This year the winery will unveil a new label it will still depict the iconic schoolhouse but with deeper colors and a new texture There will be a distinct difference among the labels depending on the vineyards used Wines produced from Columbia valley vineyards will have a soft charcoal-colored background label and the labels for the wines produced from Walla Walla vineyards will be more sepia-toned
Another distinctive change will be the de-emphasizing of the ldquoNo 41rdquo as generations of wine lovers have often referred to the winery as ldquoLrsquoEcolerdquo
The new label will be a timeless reminder of the past as well as a welcome to future generations

it was 1954 the year he graduated from the University of Oregon and two female students from the university were interested in learning some of the finer points of the game
ldquoit was probably the worst lesson anybody has ever givenrdquo Mundle exclaimed shaking his head in dismay ldquoThese two young ladies were looking for some help and i worked with them for an hour-and-a-half And at the end of that time i said lsquoi have done such a poor job i will pay you for the time i have put you through this torturersquordquo

Painful as it was the lesson learned proved to be a career-launching moment for Mundle who dedicated himself to his trade and spent a lifetime in the golf business successfully working up and down the i-5 corridor as course operator teacher and player
Fifty-seven years after that first teaching debacle Mundle now 79 years old is retired and living in Walla Walla He and his wife Ann relocated here last summer determined to give up teaching golf and spend more time playing the game they both love
ldquoAfter all of these years of teaching i feel that this is the time to lay it asiderdquo Mundle said ldquoi will still do a little studying of the golf swing and methods and i will be involved with some of the other local professionals in some cracker-barrel sessions when they get together to discuss teaching methods problems and how to solve them
ldquoBut i really came here not to teach but to play some golfrdquo
That was the plan anyway before he was introduced to Walla Walla High School senior Jake Hanson who was looking for a little extra help with his game heading into his final year on the links as a Blue Devil
Terri Hanson Jakersquos mother was aware of Mundlersquos reputation as a teaching professional and heard through the grapevine he was living in Walla Walla
ldquoBeing the mom i am i called him one dayrdquo Terri remembered ldquoi told him that Jakersquos golf game was at a standstill i asked him to take a look at Jake and he agreed to come and meet us and get a feel for where Jake was at
ldquoHe did and before you knew it they were putting on our hardwood floors The next day they agreed to get together at Wine valley mdash they were there for four hours and it has been an amazing connection right from the beginning
ldquoAl is an amazing Christian man who is so well-respected in his fieldrdquo Terri added ldquoAnd he just demands respect irsquom seeing my son of 17 all of a sudden growing uprdquo
Mundle concedes he is intrigued by Hansonrsquos character and potential And

Hanson holds his new mentor in high esteem
ldquoirsquove learned a tremendous amountrdquo Hanson said ldquoHe has a way of getting through to me in a positive way He got through to me that i am so much better than i thought i could be He has more confidence in me than i have in myself
ldquoHe has one of the best golf swings i have ever seen and he is still working on his own gamerdquo
Mundle said Hanson reminds him of former University of Oregon player Ben Crane who now plays on the PGA Tour Crane has been playing professionally since 2007 and earned nearly $3 million on the tour in 2010
ldquoi was Benrsquos swing coach at Oregon and Jake is somewhat similarrdquo Mundle said ldquoBen worked harder than anybody on the whole golf team He would put in as much
time as three or four others combined and Jake is very much the same way Hersquos very dedicatedrdquo
However Mundle insists that helping Hanson with his game is a one-time situation
After playing just six rounds of golf last year Mundle is determined that he and Ann will spend a lot more time on the golf course as they get acquainted with their new hometown
ldquoThatrsquos an all-time lowrdquo he said of the six rounds played in 2010 ldquoMostly it was the move and all mdash a new house putting in lawn fencing shelving in the garage mdash all the little things of getting settled
ldquoBut this was a good move for us We love it here We enjoy the weather and the people you can walk down the street and people look you in the eye and say lsquoHellorsquo i love that friendlinessrdquo
Mundle grew up in Eugene and graduated from University High School in 1950 He knew he said from the time he was in the seventh grade he wanted to make golf his lifersquos work
ldquoyou might say that i had a little parental directionrdquo Mundle said ldquoMy dad went to the University of St Andrews in Scotland and he played golf at the St Andrews Old Course And my mother also played golfrdquo
After high school Mundle enrolled at the University of Oregon and played three years of varsity golf during an era when there was no such thing as a golf scholarship
ldquoThe only thing we ever received was a half-a-dozen golf balls if we went into a tournamentrdquo Mundle recalled ldquoWhen i went to the NCAA Championships in Texas my senior year i was given a new

pair of golf shoes but that was itldquoWe bought all of our own gear mdash
clubs bags rain gear everything itrsquos a whole different ball game today They have everythingrdquo
At the end of his sophomore year at Oregon Mundle had it in his mind to ldquotest my golf on the PGA Tourrdquo he said But his father an English professor at the university discouraged him
ldquoHe said lsquoGet your education first then you can do whatever you wantrsquordquo Mundle said ldquoit was just as well i saved a lot of wear and tear mdash and money i was an Ok player but not of that caliberrdquo
Mundle still has fond memories of his collegiate playing career however
ldquoi played three years for the university mdash you werenrsquot allowed to play as freshmen mdash and Oregon always had fine golf teamsrdquo Mundle said ldquoit was mostly match
play then and i was there during the time that the school went seven straight years without losing a (team) dual matchrdquo
During his senior year Mundle qualified for the NCAA Championships in Houston From a field of about 160 players Mundle made it as far as the quarterfinal round
He graduated in 1954 with a degree in history which he said he never really used
ldquoMy dad was in the top one percent of his class at St Andrewsrdquo Mundle said ldquoMy mother was also in the top part of her class and my older brother Pete was in the top of his class And then i came alongrdquo
His first golf job was as an assistant pro at his home course the Laurelwood Golf Course a position he accepted shortly after graduating from UO This was when and where the infamous first golf lesson
occurredA two-year stint in the US Army took
Mundle away from his profession in 1955-56 But he managed to keep his golf game sharp as a member of the Fort knox golf team and in 1956 he was the runner-up in the Second Army tournament and he placed 13th in the All-Army tournament
Then it was back to the Willamette valley where he came into his own in the Portland area under head professionals Eddie Hogan at riverside Country Club and Bunny Mason at Columbia Edgewater
ldquoThose two people were very influential in my professional liferdquo Mundle said
ldquoEddie was a very fine teacher of the total golf operation and service was No 1 i learned how to run the pro shop how
Jake Hanson takes a few pointers on chipping from his instructor and mentor Al Mundle

people ltcontinued from pg 19
to market and merchandise mdash everything from how to run the club service program to the electric cart program to basically running the golf course
ldquoBunny was also a very fine operator of a golf shop and i also learned a lot about teaching from Bunny Sometimes you go along in life and there are certain mentors who help you along the way Anybody who says they made it by themselves is not being honest with themselves We have all had someone who has given us a little boost along the wayrdquo
Mundle took his first head professional job in 1965 at Overlake Golf and Country Club in Bellevue where he remained until 1981 At that point he returned to Eugene and was the head pro at the Eugene Country Club for three years followed by a six-year stint at the Bear Creek Country Club in Seattle
He also spent a short time at a golf course in Cottage Grove Ore before moving back to Eugene for a third time in 1993 to become the director of golf instruction at the river ridge Golf Course He remained at river ridge until his retirement last summer During his time there he helped out as the swing coach at UO under then-head coach Steve Nosler
Through it all Mundle served as president of the Washington PGA and the Pacific Northwest PGA and was a member of several National PGA committees As a player he participated in the Oregon Washington and Pacific Northwest opens as well as the Washington and Oregon PGA events One of his highlights was winning the Oregon Senior PGA Match-Play Championships in Bend in 1993
ldquoi felt i had an obligation to participaterdquo Mundle said ldquoi played a lot of golf including many many pro-ams and i won a couple of assistant championshipsrdquo
in addition to Crane Mundle also helped shape the careers of Jeff Quinney and Eric Johnson both of whom are from the Eugene area
Quinney won the United States Amateur championship in 2000 and represented the US in the Walker Cup in 2001 He has appeared in 128 PGA Tour events since 2007 placing second twice and third twice
Johnson played several years on the Asian Tour and one on the Nationwide Tour He is now a head professional at a

course in San rafael CalifldquoAnd there have been some others mdash
Brian Henninger Mike Gove a few others mdash who have called and wanted to discus their swingrdquo Mundle said ldquoNothing on a regular basis just one or two sessionsrdquo
is Hanson his next mdash and perhaps his last mdash prodigy
Thatrsquos a tricky question since Hanson came to golf late after a budding baseball career was derailed by a shoulder injury He was a first-team all-Big Nine Conference golf selection as a junior but has yet to qualify for state and his summer resume is thin because of his baseball background
Hansonrsquos original plan was to attend Walla Walla Community College and play golf for the Warriors with the hope of earning an NCAA Division i scholarship But he has since decided to enroll in Arizona State Universityrsquos Professional Golf Management program and try out for the ASU golf team as a walk on
ldquoMore than anything i think it came down to him evaluating his goalsrdquo said Jakersquos father Gary Hanson ldquoitrsquos everyonersquos dream to play on the PGA Tour but realistically he wants to be a golf pro and teach He loves
the gamerdquoAnd a degree in the PGM program
will provide Jake with the educational background he needs to be successful in any form of business his father added
Though his chances of making the ASU varsity team seem unlikely the PGM program provides a club golf team that participates in a series of tournaments throughout the year and gives Hanson a second playing option
And keeping your options open is optimum at this point Mundle said
ldquoi think his driving force at this time mdash and also his folks mdash is to get his education And then he can do whatever he wants if he doesnrsquot go into (the golfing business) immediately he will always have it as a backuprdquo
Sounds an awful lot like the advice Thomas Mundle offered his son back in the spring of 1952 when Al Mundle wanted to leave school after his sophomore year and test his wings on the PGA Tour And as we now know all these years later staying in school worked out pretty well for Al

T H E A T R EPOWER HOUSE
My director Terry Edward Moore told me his only direction from the artistic director was that it be ldquoperiodrdquo that is to say authentic to the time
ldquoMerry Wivesrdquo is the only one of Shakespearersquos plays that is set in his own time so it was decided to present it as if the actors were people of the time doing what would be a contemporary (to the late 16th century) play
i started to research the clothing of the time how it was constructed and what kinds of fabrics were available at the time mdash linens homespuns woolens for the common people and silks damasks velvets and furs for the upper classes i discovered that Elizabethan society was strictly regulated in terms of social classes and upward mobility was a little-known concept Once a yeoman always a yeoman i also discovered the set of rules and regulations called ldquosumptuary lawsrdquo which specifically dictated what types of fabrics trims furs and even what colors each class was allowed to wear
Since there are three distinct classes represented in ldquoMerry Wivesrdquo mdash merchant class soldiers and servants mdash i tried to give each class its own color palette based on these laws The overall palette of the show is based on colors actually in use at the time
The availability of dyes was limited (except for the nobility) so the palette consists of many shades of yellows and browns russets black some greens and blue-grays and of course wheat-colored unbleached linen i turned to the Dutch painter Brueghel for inspiration on how the common people looked and dressed
i also researched what kinds of dyes were used and where they came from Dyes were created from all sorts of different things such as walnut shell crushed beetles and all kinds of roots i found a website that sells these authentic dyestuffs so irsquom using the real thing to dye some of the linen pieces and will coordinate the contemporary fabrics to these authentic colors
Nearly every piece will need something done to it mdash altered in some way to fit the actor re-trimmed rigged invisibly for quick changes etc mdash so there is a lot of labor involved Also hats were a hugely important part of Elizabethan fashion all the way down to the poorest serf
Certain styles of hats were often associated with certain professions mdash eg doctors scholars mdash so there are a number of hats to build as well as headpieces for the women No self-respecting woman went about with her head uncovered
Putting together a show like this is like putting together a giant jigsaw puzzle and the pieces are the costumes that irsquove borrowed and rented from other theater companies in the Seattle area such as Seattle repertory Seattle Opera and the University of Washington as well as pieces from Oregon Shakespeare Festival i design the show and then go out into the world and try to find pieces that approximate my designs and palette as closely as possible (usually with some reworking first) The pieces that i cant find and dont want to compromise on i build from scratch

But thatrsquos exactly what longtime Walla Walla resident Larry Adams did for four years He was one of a select group of pilots for Marine One the helicopter counterpart of the presidential airplane Air Force One from 1970 to 1974

Long before Adams became the Walla Walla Airport manager he was transporting heads of state foreign dignitaries famous (and now infamous) Cabinet members the executive staff and President richard M Nixon during one of the nationrsquos most turbulent times the withdrawal from vietnam and the Watergate scandal
But to Adams a native of Northern idaho all that swirled around the Nixon presidency was the least of his concerns His job was to transport the president safely to Andrews Air Force Base or Camp David or fly any short flight required Safety always at a premium End of story
Many times Adams ferried President Nixon and his staff on short flights far away from home Air Force One might fly President Nixon to a summit or a meeting with a foreign head of state but Marine One and Adams were always nearby to shuttle the chief executive on short flights or to whisk him away from sudden danger
Pretty heady stuff for a fourth-grade teacher who had never thought about flying until a Marine recruiter offered him the opportunity Although Adams had watched planes take off and land at a nearby air base as a child he had never given serious thought to flying it was more a need for a bigger paycheck than passion that brought Adams to his destiny
He liked teaching but it just wasnrsquot paying the bills So Adams turned to the military and the Gi Bill After being unimpressed by other recruiters Adams took a liking to the fellow from the Marines for as Adams recalls the recruiter took an interest in him After about an hour of talking the recruiter suggested Adams might have the potential to be a pilot
Having easily passed some preliminary tests Adams was sent to flight school in Pensacola Fla and a stellar career was ready to take off He performed well in all the aircraft he piloted but he showed a special skill for helicopters
Up until 1965 fixed-wing airplanes were the staple of all military air combat But the military had been gearing up for a big change The helicopter was to become a major part of combat The Pentagon had been developing helicopters that would do much more than transport troops to bases Now they would assist in bombing
raids ground attacks and the evacuation of the injured from the point of combat This new breed of helicopters would also possess the ability to fight back and not be lame ducks as before the new H34 would tote machine guns on each side
These cutting-edge aircraft would travel at unprecedented speeds with newly discovered agility Gifted pilots were needed not those who merely possessed superior technical skills but those who also had the composure to fly straight into
enemy fire in the dead of night picking up injured soldiers or aiding air attacks
Adams was one of those pilots and he would be one of two squadron leaders for ldquoOperation Starliterdquo mdash the first major assault using helicopters The Marines were going straight into a North vietnamese regimental stronghold No one knew what to expect
ldquoWe lost a lot that first time inrdquo says Adams ldquoTwo crew chiefs were killed
Continued on pg 32 gt
In this newspaper clipping Larry Adams poses on the steps of the helicopter dubbed Marine One which he piloted for President Richard M Nixon

people ltcontinued from pg 31
four pilots were medevaced out because of their wounds i donrsquot think there was one helicopter that didnrsquot have a bunch of holes in it The one i flew in we got a lot of rounds in it Amazingly no one was hurt but when we got back the helicopter was so shot-up you couldnrsquot fly it anymore We lost 50 percent of our helicopters that dayrdquo
in the next 13 months Adams would fly many more missions often heading straight into anti-aircraft fire to pick up injured or killed soldiers He says he would see the flares signifying where the copter was supposed to land but frequently hersquod have to veer off because ground communication would say ldquoThe artillery is too hotrdquo Then there would be a window maybe two minutes maybe five when the helicopter could drop in and pick up the injured often being shot at as it waited for its passengers
Adams knew the best way to survive was to keep his focus ldquoin the daylight when you start your run in and yoursquore getting shot at Everything went to black and white for me i didnrsquot notice the green trees or the green rice paddies until we got out of there and then it would come back
to me i donrsquot know what that was i just didnrsquot see the colors irsquove talked to some other pilots and they described the same thingrdquo
in his two tours of duty in vietnam Adams would fly 880 combat missions in several types of helicopters and fixed-wing airplanes He received numerous medals including two Navy commendations for performance under combat conditions
Then the call came to fly for the president Before Adams could tote the commander in chief around in Marine One a thorough background check had to be done So thorough was the check that Adams said a friend from his hometown sent him a card that read ldquoAre you in some kind of trouble Jesus therersquos been a bunch of people around here with the dark grey suits and the skinny little ties Theyrsquore asking all these embarrassing questions about you like did you have drinking problem Did you have a gambling problem Do you know what Larryrsquos sexual preference wasrdquo
Adams chuckles ldquoit was pretty funnyrdquoAdams passed the grade and soon
he was flying President Nixon and his family to Camp David or picking up vice
President Spiro Agnew at the Pentagon or taking Secretary of State Henry kissinger or Secretary of Defense Alexander Haig to a classified meeting Although his flights varied from transporting foreign heads of state to flying members of the press the majority involved the president the vice president kissinger and Haig
The pilots did not speak to their travelers unless spoken to says Adams President Nixon usually looked in and asked them how they were kissinger never spoke Haig was good for a pat on the shoulder now and then but it was Agnew who conversed the most says Adams
Adams remembers ldquoOne time we picked him up at the Pentagon and we had taken off and had hit top altitude He usually would come up and look into the cockpit but this time he patted me on the shoulder and asked lsquoWell howrsquos it going today guysrsquordquo Adams replied ldquoNot bad sir and how about yourselfrdquo
Agnew answered ldquoMan they are really after my assrdquo He was talking about the press Adams says ldquoTwo weeks later he resignedrdquo
Adams recalls that his encounters with Agnew as defying the public perception
Adams far right gives instructions before a mission in Vietnam
Walla Walla LifestyLes 33
that Agnew was arrogant ldquoHe was always one of the nicest guys He was straightforward He looked like he had just stepped off the cover of Gentlemenrsquos Quarterly all the time He was very proper in the way he dressed but he had a sense of humor as wellrdquo
There were other humorous moments Adams recalls a certain reporter from CBS who had been a major thorn in President Nixonrsquos side was late for takeoff from the South Lawn of the White House one morning Just as Marine One was about to leave without him he came running across the lawn hollering and waving his arms The Secret Service agent supervising the flight told Adams to ldquojust gordquo The wind from the propellers whipped the reporterrsquos toupee right off his head and instead of continuing his run toward Marine One he reversed his field and tried feverishly to retrieve his toupee snagged in the hedges
ldquoEveryone got a pretty good chuckle out of thatrdquo
Of course there were somber times At one point Adams flew Cabinet members John Ehrlichman and Hr Haldeman to Camp David for a meeting with the president After only 15 minutes the two men returned and Marine One headed home Adams says it was a quiet flight He found out later the two men had been fired by President Nixon for their parts in the Watergate scandal
Whisking the president away from danger was a major part of being a pilot of Marine One Stationed across the river from the Capitol pilots awakened by an emergency alert had to be up in the air in five minutes This exercise was practiced often though never needed during Adamsrsquo tenure
One night however they thought it was The operator at the White House mistakenly hit the ldquoAlertrdquo button Marine One was in the air in five minutes
Although ground control had not spotted any enemy aircraft the operation was under way As Marine One closed in on the White House the operator at fault tried to alert everyone of his mistake but unfortunately used a poor choice of words to call off the operation
Adams chuckles as he says ldquoThe fella said lsquoThis is not an exercisersquo He was moved to another post i thinkrdquo
All levity aside the position required
the same kind of focus demanded of Adams in vietnam though it came in a different form
ldquoThere were three things the way you operated the aircraft and they were in this order safety comfort and speed Safety never gave in to comfort or speedrdquo says Adams ldquoOur job was just concentrating on doing our job it could have been anybody mdash we would do it the same way it could have been Fred Flintstone
ldquoThe difference between flying for the White House and in vietnam was we were flying a premier aircraft We had to keep it impeccably clean everything was scripted We had to have the lsquoopen-the-door timersquo down to two to four seconds in vietnam it was the stress of performing medevacs under fire or dropping troops under heavy artillery For Marine One it was the stress of doing the job rightrdquo
Also the stress of being away from onersquos family 200 days of the year wore on a Marine One pilot in 1974 after four years on the job the toll became too much and Adams stepped down
He would stay with the Marines for eight more years retiring in August 1982
By then he had received 44 Air Medals including the Joint Service Commendation and the Presidential Service Badge in his 20 years of service Adams flew seven different helicopters and five different fixed-wing planes
What makes an elite military pilot ldquoPilots who donrsquot have any misgivingsrdquo says Adams ldquoTheyrsquore totally prepared they know their aircraftrdquo
When talking about his colleagues on Marine One he adds ldquoNone were boasters They might brag about a great landing but they did not brag in spite of someone elserdquo
What did Adams love most about his flying days ldquoi enjoyed flying with the latest technology and the pristine quality of Marine One i loved the process of building my skills i could have flown another 40 years and i would still be learning thingsrdquo
is it any surprise his favorite hobby now is fly fishing

it is astonishing in many ways mdash that we are presented with two weeks of top-drawer music performed by top-drawer musi-cians that there are so many ways to encounter the music (many of them free) and that a rural community has provided the incu-

worked hard to start this event and to my great joy it has taken on an iden-tity of its own i hire the musicians and choose the music but the town its people and its environs make the festivalrdquo
The beauty of chamber music is its intimacy mdash smaller ensembles performing for smaller audiences it has been referred to as ldquothe music of friendsrdquo which seems so apt at this festival Free open rehearsals are held around town that provide not only a musical atmosphere in which to enjoy a latte or the ambiance of the kirkman House but which give a richer look into the machinations of a working ensemble
As one enthusiastic fan puts it ldquoi am not a musician and itrsquos fascinat-ing to watch these rehearsals to see the interactions of the musicians as they work out the snags make wry remarks and relate to each other in a whole different way than during a for-mal performance i get a glimpse into their personalities and what makes them tickrdquo
The festival supplies a generous of-fering of venues with free concerts for children and families relaxed evening programs at wineries and full concerts at the Foundry Chism Hall and Day-tonrsquos Liberty Theater
if you are lucky enough to live near the musiciansrsquo lodgings while they are in town you may also be treated to an ad hoc front-porch concert as the ensembles continue their rehearsals in more private settings The festival is about all of these ways mdash planned and accidental mdash to experience the enchantment of chamber music
it is also about historic continuity and the connection between past and present mdash relishing the existing canon while expanding the genre with con-temporary forms and voices
How is this accomplished in part by the annual commission of a new piece of music for the festival Chris-tie is committed to contributing to the broader chamber music repertoire and to providing the audience with the richest possible experience

ldquoFor classical music to be relevant there must be a conversation between the music of our time and the music of the pastrdquo he says
By commissioning a work for the festi-val each year Christie creates such a con-versation
This year the commission was given to John David Earnest Four festival commis-sions have preceded his and he is the sec-ond ldquolocalrdquo composer to be tapped add-ing another layer of relationship between community and event (in 2009 Whitman College professor David Glenn was given the nod)
As visiting adjunct professor of music at Whitman Earnest resides here for six weeks every semester His ldquoSecond Sym-phonyrdquo was written for and performed by the Walla Walla Symphony in October 2001
The challenge for the yearly commis-sionee is to compose a piece on demand within specific constraints of time place and instrumentation while expressing hisher own voice as an artist
Earnest has created ldquoCommedia Gal-leryrdquo a set of three movements for flute
viola and harp based on stock characters from the Commedia dellrsquoArte a popu-lar theatrical form that was influential in Europe for over 300 years Commedia characters improvised dialogue around set scenarios generally involving the struggles of young lovers to overcome hindrances to their romance and each character even-tually came to have a consistent set of at-tributes in speech mannerisms and cos-tume
Earnestrsquos ldquoGalleryrdquo gives us Arlecchi-no (Harlequin) an acrobatic and devious jester Pierrot the classic sad clown and finally Scaramouche a dandy and a brag-gart who is a coward at heart
in anticipation of this yearrsquos festival i am reminded of the scene in ldquoThe Music Manrdquo in which the town awaits the ar-rival of the Wells Fargo Wagon Potentially heaped with gifts and surprises it prom-ises connection to the larger world The WWCMF brings us all ldquosomethinrsquo specialrdquo mdash an enrichment of our community and our culture

Smith has gardened for years at his home at 38 Mulberry Court in College Place He used to grow vegetables and flowers now he is strictly focusing on flowers mdash with fabulous results roses delphiniums and lots of irises line the fence
ldquoirises mdash irsquove always enjoyed themrdquo he says ldquoThey take a little bit of weeding and watering but not much morerdquo itrsquos the gardenerrsquos dream mdash low maintenance with a big return
A retired orthopedic surgeon Smith has in the past gardened more extensively than he does now But he has enough plants to keep him busy His new project is planting more of the reblooming iris These are still hardy but you get twice the reward they bloom in the spring then again in the fall
ldquoTheyrsquore easy to grow and spectacular for a short time iris take less care than a lot of thingsrdquo Smith says
His secret for gardening is simple and therersquos no getting around it ldquoTime and workrdquo he laughs
Hersquos getting ready to start in the garden ldquoi need to clean out the leaves and the old foliage of the irisrdquo
in addition to the basic cleaning and maintenance Smith just decides how many plants to keep Bulb flowers are hardy and they multiply on their own
ldquoAfter five years you usually have to separate the bulbs when they get too thick i donrsquot have room to add more i put in the new re-blooming onesrdquo he explains ldquoi may add more and a few other thingsrdquo
But in a garden you can always try something new or rearrange existing plants often with a spectacular outcome

itrsquos an odd location since it can only be seen as yoursquore leaving town but it always makes me smile This valley my adopted home is indeed a great place to be
i recently finished reading the great Western writer Wallace Stegnerrsquos book ldquoThe Sound of Mountain Waterrdquo One of his essays traces his nomadic childhood which left him feeling rootless and without a place that he felt he could call home
i identify with his feeling of not belonging i was born to a single woman from Massachusetts in a New york City hospital i stayed a scant few days before being placed with an adoption agency Born in a place i had no familial connection to i was immediately deprived of my biological family Most of my childhood was spent in suburban Cleveland Ohio Moves to upstate New york New England and Pennsylvania brought me no closer to calling any place home i loved living in the western Massachusetts town of Stockbridge but the multigenerational denizens of the town left few openings for newcomers like me i lived in central Pennsylvania for several decades but felt detached from the deep roots that most people had in the area
When we came west (for my husband a homecoming to his Oregon roots for me a new experience) i noticed that even in long-established towns like Walla Walla there is ample room for newcomers who want to be
part of the community And most folks who choose to come here donrsquot seem to want to change the valley they prefer to embrace it
While the occasional newbie whines about the lack of Whole Foods or Nordstrom they soon discover our farmers markets the wide variety of local shops and boutiques and our world-class restaurants They fall in love with our charming downtowns the small-town friendliness of the people and our kid-friendly environment Then therersquos the holiday parade the fair the ever-present Blue Mountains the parks the museums the wineries mdash really whatrsquos not to like The communities of our valley represent America at its best
irsquom a newspaper junkie i love to read everything from news to sports to classifieds mdash even the obituaries The obits are a fascinating window on our valley Many of the people chronicled were born here some lived all their lives here inextricably bound to this place But a number of people came here from other places often far away and have made a mark on our area Which makes me wonder mdash is a place any less of a hometown because you choose it or is it based primarily on the happenstance of your birth it seems that therersquos room for both paths to calling this wonderful valley home
itrsquos also our strength because collectively as a community we bring both deep familial and cultural traditions as well as the fresh perspective of newcomers to our area irsquom glad mdash after decades of searching mdash that i finally found my hometown a place that feels just right

Play is important in Walla Walla the play will truly be the thing when Shakespeare Walla Walla presents ldquoThe Merry Wives of Windsorrdquo at the newly restored Power House Theatre this month Lifestyles is teaming up with SWW for an inaugural event that will offer guests food fashion and merriment in the Elizabethan manner May 18 Check out our cover spread for a preview of the event
Winston Churchill may have described golf best when he said it ldquois a game whose aim is to hit a very small ball into an even smaller hole with weapons singularly ill-designed for the purposerdquo
So if you are going to pursue the sport it makes sense to get the best coaching possible Al Mundle who spent 57 years helping others improve their games thought he had put tinkering with other peoplersquos grip stance and swing away for good But that was before Terri Hanson convinced him to offer some pointers to her son Jake who was heading into his final year on the links for the Walla Walla High School Blue Devils
Jim Buchan shows you how this relationship has worked
Work to a lot of people can be repetitious drudgery Larry Adams never had that problem Whether he was flying into enemy fire in vietnam or piloting a helicopter for the president each day challenged his skills and preparation Adams recounts some of those adventures for Lifestyles
Skill and preparation are necessary ingredients for cooking Gina Medica tells how she learned to make culinary creations from Cuba Her specialty is a flan dessert
Dr Donald Smithrsquos specialty is creating an eye-catching garden of colorful flowers The iris is a primary element of his palette Check out his creations in Secret Gardens
Columnist Catie Mcintyre Walker explains how the original palette for the LrsquoEcole No 41 wine labels came from a childrsquos watercolor As the winery has matured it has decided it was time to update the labels

Born in Miami and then raised in Central Los Angeles by her Cuban-born parents Medica learned her craft by observing her mother work in the kitchen Of all Medicarsquos culinary creations it is her Cuban flan dessert that receives the most requests
ldquoEveryone in the family would always request it especially my nieces and nephewrdquo Medica says sitting at her dining room table the freshly presented flan resting in front of her ldquoMy bro can easily eat half of itrdquo
And the flan does not remain uneaten for long as i sit down with the Walla Walla businesswoman and her daughter Elizabeth to discuss and taste this delicacy Minutes after we begin our conversation nephew Nick arrives and quickly wolfs down two servings
irsquove already finished my first and am working on my second when we begin our conversation
LifEStyLES With both of your parents being Havana natives did you eat Cuban food exclusively
MEDiCa No but in the early days Thanksgiving was pretty different My mom would fix the turkey but shersquod serve it with black beans and white rice Wersquod be ldquoAh mom canrsquot we have regular Thanksgiving food like mashed potatoes and yamsrdquo Those came later as we lived in the States longer
LifEStyLES So the food changed as you kids grew older
MEDiCa Well my mom was always pretty good at American food but sometimes it wasnrsquot all the way like she made American spaghetti but she put chicken in it it was good but my brother would always complain that it didnrsquot have meatballs Now he misses the chicken
LifEStyLES How many kids do you have in the family
MEDiCa i have an older brother and a younger sister irsquom the middle one We didnrsquot have a normal childhood in the sense that my mom was a hairstylist at home and on Saturday mornings customers would start arriving at 8 And she had one of those big old hair dryers

that you put over someonersquos head mdash we called it ldquoFidel Castrordquo mdash and yoursquod have these customers yelling at the top of their voice while they were under it So i never got to sleep in
LifEStyLES it sounds like your mother was quite a lady
MEDiCa i recently found some of her original recipes you know in her own handwriting One of them is for croquetta which was really good you take chicken with corned beef and grind them up bread it and then fry it itrsquos really goodrdquo
LifEStyLES Why do you like the flan so much
MEDiCa Because everyone in the family always requested it i make it a little different The way i make it it is a little more creamy because i use cream cheese itrsquos more like a custard Many times in Mexican restaurants the flan will be more jello-y This is almost like cheesecake
LifEStyLES is it strictly for dessert
MEDiCa yes itrsquos for special occasions
LifEStyLES Like birthdays and parties
MEDiCa yes itrsquos not light you canrsquot have too much or your stomach will start to ache
LifEStyLES Does it take a long time to prepare
MEDiCa Not really Making the caramel sauce takes the most time and you canrsquot take your eyes off it or it might burn
LifEStyLES Tastes like it didnrsquot burn
MEDiCa No i had lots of help My daughter Elizabeth (and she glances over at her youngest child) helped me a lot

The old Frenchtown schoolhouse built in 1915 with the stately bell tower still stands it has been a historic fixture in the Walla Walla valley that many of us have grown up with even if we never attended classes there One can still stride up the long sidewalk to the large heavy carved doors with a feeling of reverence and trepidation mdash as if it were the first day of school mdash while imagining generations of children playing on the manicured grounds
in the 1970s the old schoolhouse classrooms found themselves empty of childrenrsquos laughter But in 1983 Jean and Baker Ferguson breathed new life into the old building founding what would become one of the premier wineries in Washington LrsquoEcole No 41
The name was historically im-portant in two ways ldquoLrsquoEcolerdquo French for ldquothe schoolrdquo recognized the French men and women who settled the area and ldquo41rdquo was the numerical designation of the school district
The Fergusonsrsquo first crush of 1983 was resting in the barrel when the following year they asked their elementary school-aged family members to draw an image that would best reflect the new project
The $100 prize went to an 8-year-old cousin whose watercolor interpretation of the old schoolhouse became the template for a wine label it became an iconic label known to wine lovers around the world
in 1989 the second generation of the family Jean and Bakerrsquos daughter and son-
in-law Megan and Martin (Marty) Clubb became the new proprietors of the winery Marty became the general manager and winemaker and would lead the small artisan winery to new heights mdash it would eventually produce more than 30000 cases annually
At the same time the Washington state wine industry was booming and would soon become the nationrsquos second-largest wine producer The area would become one of the premium wine-producing regions in the United States
Marty also became a pioneer in the

Washington state wine industry as he became a founder and activist in many of the wine industryrsquos foundations and alliances The family-owned winery also partnered with some of the most prestigious vineyards in the state LrsquoEcole No 41 has been honored nine consecutive years by Wine amp Spirits magazine as ldquoWinery of the yearrdquo becoming the second Washington winery inducted into the Hall of Fame
There is a third-generation that has grown up around the winery and will eventually become caretakers of this legacy Meganrsquos and Martyrsquos children Jeanrsquos and Bakerrsquos grandchildren rebecca and riley Clubb had their own meaningful influence on the label with their childhood drawings on the labelrsquos chalkboard image
riley is a 2009 graduate of Whitman College and is employed at the winery rebecca is enrolled in Washington State Universityrsquos wine management program and expected to graduate in 2012
The winery will soon celebrate its 30th birthday The wines produced at the old schoolhouse are refined with true varietal character and can stand up against many coveted wines from France mdash and they have Now that LrsquoEcole is a top player in the world of wine the whimsical label on its bottles is no longer truly indicative of the sophisticated gold and dark-red liquids behind the glass
ldquoLooking to the future we wanted our label to reflect the winery we have becomerdquo says Marty Clubb
This year the winery will unveil a new label it will still depict the iconic schoolhouse but with deeper colors and a new texture There will be a distinct difference among the labels depending on the vineyards used Wines produced from Columbia valley vineyards will have a soft charcoal-colored background label and the labels for the wines produced from Walla Walla vineyards will be more sepia-toned
Another distinctive change will be the de-emphasizing of the ldquoNo 41rdquo as generations of wine lovers have often referred to the winery as ldquoLrsquoEcolerdquo
The new label will be a timeless reminder of the past as well as a welcome to future generations

it was 1954 the year he graduated from the University of Oregon and two female students from the university were interested in learning some of the finer points of the game
ldquoit was probably the worst lesson anybody has ever givenrdquo Mundle exclaimed shaking his head in dismay ldquoThese two young ladies were looking for some help and i worked with them for an hour-and-a-half And at the end of that time i said lsquoi have done such a poor job i will pay you for the time i have put you through this torturersquordquo

Painful as it was the lesson learned proved to be a career-launching moment for Mundle who dedicated himself to his trade and spent a lifetime in the golf business successfully working up and down the i-5 corridor as course operator teacher and player
Fifty-seven years after that first teaching debacle Mundle now 79 years old is retired and living in Walla Walla He and his wife Ann relocated here last summer determined to give up teaching golf and spend more time playing the game they both love
ldquoAfter all of these years of teaching i feel that this is the time to lay it asiderdquo Mundle said ldquoi will still do a little studying of the golf swing and methods and i will be involved with some of the other local professionals in some cracker-barrel sessions when they get together to discuss teaching methods problems and how to solve them
ldquoBut i really came here not to teach but to play some golfrdquo
That was the plan anyway before he was introduced to Walla Walla High School senior Jake Hanson who was looking for a little extra help with his game heading into his final year on the links as a Blue Devil
Terri Hanson Jakersquos mother was aware of Mundlersquos reputation as a teaching professional and heard through the grapevine he was living in Walla Walla
ldquoBeing the mom i am i called him one dayrdquo Terri remembered ldquoi told him that Jakersquos golf game was at a standstill i asked him to take a look at Jake and he agreed to come and meet us and get a feel for where Jake was at
ldquoHe did and before you knew it they were putting on our hardwood floors The next day they agreed to get together at Wine valley mdash they were there for four hours and it has been an amazing connection right from the beginning
ldquoAl is an amazing Christian man who is so well-respected in his fieldrdquo Terri added ldquoAnd he just demands respect irsquom seeing my son of 17 all of a sudden growing uprdquo
Mundle concedes he is intrigued by Hansonrsquos character and potential And
Under the watchful eye of Al Mundle Jake Hanson hits an iron shot

Hanson holds his new mentor in high esteem
ldquoirsquove learned a tremendous amountrdquo Hanson said ldquoHe has a way of getting through to me in a positive way He got through to me that i am so much better than i thought i could be He has more confidence in me than i have in myself
ldquoHe has one of the best golf swings i have ever seen and he is still working on his own gamerdquo
Mundle said Hanson reminds him of former University of Oregon player Ben Crane who now plays on the PGA Tour Crane has been playing professionally since 2007 and earned nearly $3 million on the tour in 2010
ldquoi was Benrsquos swing coach at Oregon and Jake is somewhat similarrdquo Mundle said ldquoBen worked harder than anybody on the whole golf team He would put in as much
time as three or four others combined and Jake is very much the same way Hersquos very dedicatedrdquo
However Mundle insists that helping Hanson with his game is a one-time situation
After playing just six rounds of golf last year Mundle is determined that he and Ann will spend a lot more time on the golf course as they get acquainted with their new hometown
ldquoThatrsquos an all-time lowrdquo he said of the six rounds played in 2010 ldquoMostly it was the move and all mdash a new house putting in lawn fencing shelving in the garage mdash all the little things of getting settled
ldquoBut this was a good move for us We love it here We enjoy the weather and the people you can walk down the street and people look you in the eye and say lsquoHellorsquo i love that friendlinessrdquo
Mundle grew up in Eugene and graduated from University High School in 1950 He knew he said from the time he was in the seventh grade he wanted to make golf his lifersquos work
ldquoyou might say that i had a little parental directionrdquo Mundle said ldquoMy dad went to the University of St Andrews in Scotland and he played golf at the St Andrews Old Course And my mother also played golfrdquo
After high school Mundle enrolled at the University of Oregon and played three years of varsity golf during an era when there was no such thing as a golf scholarship
ldquoThe only thing we ever received was a half-a-dozen golf balls if we went into a tournamentrdquo Mundle recalled ldquoWhen i went to the NCAA Championships in Texas my senior year i was given a new

pair of golf shoes but that was itldquoWe bought all of our own gear mdash
clubs bags rain gear everything itrsquos a whole different ball game today They have everythingrdquo
At the end of his sophomore year at Oregon Mundle had it in his mind to ldquotest my golf on the PGA Tourrdquo he said But his father an English professor at the university discouraged him
ldquoHe said lsquoGet your education first then you can do whatever you wantrsquordquo Mundle said ldquoit was just as well i saved a lot of wear and tear mdash and money i was an Ok player but not of that caliberrdquo
Mundle still has fond memories of his collegiate playing career however
ldquoi played three years for the university mdash you werenrsquot allowed to play as freshmen mdash and Oregon always had fine golf teamsrdquo Mundle said ldquoit was mostly match
play then and i was there during the time that the school went seven straight years without losing a (team) dual matchrdquo
During his senior year Mundle qualified for the NCAA Championships in Houston From a field of about 160 players Mundle made it as far as the quarterfinal round
He graduated in 1954 with a degree in history which he said he never really used
ldquoMy dad was in the top one percent of his class at St Andrewsrdquo Mundle said ldquoMy mother was also in the top part of her class and my older brother Pete was in the top of his class And then i came alongrdquo
His first golf job was as an assistant pro at his home course the Laurelwood Golf Course a position he accepted shortly after graduating from UO This was when and where the infamous first golf lesson
occurredA two-year stint in the US Army took
Mundle away from his profession in 1955-56 But he managed to keep his golf game sharp as a member of the Fort knox golf team and in 1956 he was the runner-up in the Second Army tournament and he placed 13th in the All-Army tournament
Then it was back to the Willamette valley where he came into his own in the Portland area under head professionals Eddie Hogan at riverside Country Club and Bunny Mason at Columbia Edgewater
ldquoThose two people were very influential in my professional liferdquo Mundle said
ldquoEddie was a very fine teacher of the total golf operation and service was No 1 i learned how to run the pro shop how
Jake Hanson takes a few pointers on chipping from his instructor and mentor Al Mundle
Continued on pg 20 gt
20 Walla Walla LifestyLes
people ltcontinued from pg 19
to market and merchandise mdash everything from how to run the club service program to the electric cart program to basically running the golf course
ldquoBunny was also a very fine operator of a golf shop and i also learned a lot about teaching from Bunny Sometimes you go along in life and there are certain mentors who help you along the way Anybody who says they made it by themselves is not being honest with themselves We have all had someone who has given us a little boost along the wayrdquo
Mundle took his first head professional job in 1965 at Overlake Golf and Country Club in Bellevue where he remained until 1981 At that point he returned to Eugene and was the head pro at the Eugene Country Club for three years followed by a six-year stint at the Bear Creek Country Club in Seattle
He also spent a short time at a golf course in Cottage Grove Ore before moving back to Eugene for a third time in 1993 to become the director of golf instruction at the river ridge Golf Course He remained at river ridge until his retirement last summer During his time there he helped out as the swing coach at UO under then-head coach Steve Nosler
Through it all Mundle served as president of the Washington PGA and the Pacific Northwest PGA and was a member of several National PGA committees As a player he participated in the Oregon Washington and Pacific Northwest opens as well as the Washington and Oregon PGA events One of his highlights was winning the Oregon Senior PGA Match-Play Championships in Bend in 1993
ldquoi felt i had an obligation to participaterdquo Mundle said ldquoi played a lot of golf including many many pro-ams and i won a couple of assistant championshipsrdquo
in addition to Crane Mundle also helped shape the careers of Jeff Quinney and Eric Johnson both of whom are from the Eugene area
Quinney won the United States Amateur championship in 2000 and represented the US in the Walker Cup in 2001 He has appeared in 128 PGA Tour events since 2007 placing second twice and third twice
Johnson played several years on the Asian Tour and one on the Nationwide Tour He is now a head professional at a

course in San rafael CalifldquoAnd there have been some others mdash
Brian Henninger Mike Gove a few others mdash who have called and wanted to discus their swingrdquo Mundle said ldquoNothing on a regular basis just one or two sessionsrdquo
is Hanson his next mdash and perhaps his last mdash prodigy
Thatrsquos a tricky question since Hanson came to golf late after a budding baseball career was derailed by a shoulder injury He was a first-team all-Big Nine Conference golf selection as a junior but has yet to qualify for state and his summer resume is thin because of his baseball background
Hansonrsquos original plan was to attend Walla Walla Community College and play golf for the Warriors with the hope of earning an NCAA Division i scholarship But he has since decided to enroll in Arizona State Universityrsquos Professional Golf Management program and try out for the ASU golf team as a walk on
ldquoMore than anything i think it came down to him evaluating his goalsrdquo said Jakersquos father Gary Hanson ldquoitrsquos everyonersquos dream to play on the PGA Tour but realistically he wants to be a golf pro and teach He loves
the gamerdquoAnd a degree in the PGM program
will provide Jake with the educational background he needs to be successful in any form of business his father added
Though his chances of making the ASU varsity team seem unlikely the PGM program provides a club golf team that participates in a series of tournaments throughout the year and gives Hanson a second playing option
And keeping your options open is optimum at this point Mundle said
ldquoi think his driving force at this time mdash and also his folks mdash is to get his education And then he can do whatever he wants if he doesnrsquot go into (the golfing business) immediately he will always have it as a backuprdquo
Sounds an awful lot like the advice Thomas Mundle offered his son back in the spring of 1952 when Al Mundle wanted to leave school after his sophomore year and test his wings on the PGA Tour And as we now know all these years later staying in school worked out pretty well for Al

T H E A T R EPOWER HOUSE
My director Terry Edward Moore told me his only direction from the artistic director was that it be ldquoperiodrdquo that is to say authentic to the time
ldquoMerry Wivesrdquo is the only one of Shakespearersquos plays that is set in his own time so it was decided to present it as if the actors were people of the time doing what would be a contemporary (to the late 16th century) play
i started to research the clothing of the time how it was constructed and what kinds of fabrics were available at the time mdash linens homespuns woolens for the common people and silks damasks velvets and furs for the upper classes i discovered that Elizabethan society was strictly regulated in terms of social classes and upward mobility was a little-known concept Once a yeoman always a yeoman i also discovered the set of rules and regulations called ldquosumptuary lawsrdquo which specifically dictated what types of fabrics trims furs and even what colors each class was allowed to wear
Since there are three distinct classes represented in ldquoMerry Wivesrdquo mdash merchant class soldiers and servants mdash i tried to give each class its own color palette based on these laws The overall palette of the show is based on colors actually in use at the time
The availability of dyes was limited (except for the nobility) so the palette consists of many shades of yellows and browns russets black some greens and blue-grays and of course wheat-colored unbleached linen i turned to the Dutch painter Brueghel for inspiration on how the common people looked and dressed
i also researched what kinds of dyes were used and where they came from Dyes were created from all sorts of different things such as walnut shell crushed beetles and all kinds of roots i found a website that sells these authentic dyestuffs so irsquom using the real thing to dye some of the linen pieces and will coordinate the contemporary fabrics to these authentic colors
Nearly every piece will need something done to it mdash altered in some way to fit the actor re-trimmed rigged invisibly for quick changes etc mdash so there is a lot of labor involved Also hats were a hugely important part of Elizabethan fashion all the way down to the poorest serf
Certain styles of hats were often associated with certain professions mdash eg doctors scholars mdash so there are a number of hats to build as well as headpieces for the women No self-respecting woman went about with her head uncovered
Putting together a show like this is like putting together a giant jigsaw puzzle and the pieces are the costumes that irsquove borrowed and rented from other theater companies in the Seattle area such as Seattle repertory Seattle Opera and the University of Washington as well as pieces from Oregon Shakespeare Festival i design the show and then go out into the world and try to find pieces that approximate my designs and palette as closely as possible (usually with some reworking first) The pieces that i cant find and dont want to compromise on i build from scratch

But thatrsquos exactly what longtime Walla Walla resident Larry Adams did for four years He was one of a select group of pilots for Marine One the helicopter counterpart of the presidential airplane Air Force One from 1970 to 1974

Long before Adams became the Walla Walla Airport manager he was transporting heads of state foreign dignitaries famous (and now infamous) Cabinet members the executive staff and President richard M Nixon during one of the nationrsquos most turbulent times the withdrawal from vietnam and the Watergate scandal
But to Adams a native of Northern idaho all that swirled around the Nixon presidency was the least of his concerns His job was to transport the president safely to Andrews Air Force Base or Camp David or fly any short flight required Safety always at a premium End of story
Many times Adams ferried President Nixon and his staff on short flights far away from home Air Force One might fly President Nixon to a summit or a meeting with a foreign head of state but Marine One and Adams were always nearby to shuttle the chief executive on short flights or to whisk him away from sudden danger
Pretty heady stuff for a fourth-grade teacher who had never thought about flying until a Marine recruiter offered him the opportunity Although Adams had watched planes take off and land at a nearby air base as a child he had never given serious thought to flying it was more a need for a bigger paycheck than passion that brought Adams to his destiny
He liked teaching but it just wasnrsquot paying the bills So Adams turned to the military and the Gi Bill After being unimpressed by other recruiters Adams took a liking to the fellow from the Marines for as Adams recalls the recruiter took an interest in him After about an hour of talking the recruiter suggested Adams might have the potential to be a pilot
Having easily passed some preliminary tests Adams was sent to flight school in Pensacola Fla and a stellar career was ready to take off He performed well in all the aircraft he piloted but he showed a special skill for helicopters
Up until 1965 fixed-wing airplanes were the staple of all military air combat But the military had been gearing up for a big change The helicopter was to become a major part of combat The Pentagon had been developing helicopters that would do much more than transport troops to bases Now they would assist in bombing
raids ground attacks and the evacuation of the injured from the point of combat This new breed of helicopters would also possess the ability to fight back and not be lame ducks as before the new H34 would tote machine guns on each side
These cutting-edge aircraft would travel at unprecedented speeds with newly discovered agility Gifted pilots were needed not those who merely possessed superior technical skills but those who also had the composure to fly straight into
enemy fire in the dead of night picking up injured soldiers or aiding air attacks
Adams was one of those pilots and he would be one of two squadron leaders for ldquoOperation Starliterdquo mdash the first major assault using helicopters The Marines were going straight into a North vietnamese regimental stronghold No one knew what to expect
ldquoWe lost a lot that first time inrdquo says Adams ldquoTwo crew chiefs were killed
Continued on pg 32 gt
In this newspaper clipping Larry Adams poses on the steps of the helicopter dubbed Marine One which he piloted for President Richard M Nixon

people ltcontinued from pg 31
four pilots were medevaced out because of their wounds i donrsquot think there was one helicopter that didnrsquot have a bunch of holes in it The one i flew in we got a lot of rounds in it Amazingly no one was hurt but when we got back the helicopter was so shot-up you couldnrsquot fly it anymore We lost 50 percent of our helicopters that dayrdquo
in the next 13 months Adams would fly many more missions often heading straight into anti-aircraft fire to pick up injured or killed soldiers He says he would see the flares signifying where the copter was supposed to land but frequently hersquod have to veer off because ground communication would say ldquoThe artillery is too hotrdquo Then there would be a window maybe two minutes maybe five when the helicopter could drop in and pick up the injured often being shot at as it waited for its passengers
Adams knew the best way to survive was to keep his focus ldquoin the daylight when you start your run in and yoursquore getting shot at Everything went to black and white for me i didnrsquot notice the green trees or the green rice paddies until we got out of there and then it would come back
to me i donrsquot know what that was i just didnrsquot see the colors irsquove talked to some other pilots and they described the same thingrdquo
in his two tours of duty in vietnam Adams would fly 880 combat missions in several types of helicopters and fixed-wing airplanes He received numerous medals including two Navy commendations for performance under combat conditions
Then the call came to fly for the president Before Adams could tote the commander in chief around in Marine One a thorough background check had to be done So thorough was the check that Adams said a friend from his hometown sent him a card that read ldquoAre you in some kind of trouble Jesus therersquos been a bunch of people around here with the dark grey suits and the skinny little ties Theyrsquore asking all these embarrassing questions about you like did you have drinking problem Did you have a gambling problem Do you know what Larryrsquos sexual preference wasrdquo
Adams chuckles ldquoit was pretty funnyrdquoAdams passed the grade and soon
he was flying President Nixon and his family to Camp David or picking up vice
President Spiro Agnew at the Pentagon or taking Secretary of State Henry kissinger or Secretary of Defense Alexander Haig to a classified meeting Although his flights varied from transporting foreign heads of state to flying members of the press the majority involved the president the vice president kissinger and Haig
The pilots did not speak to their travelers unless spoken to says Adams President Nixon usually looked in and asked them how they were kissinger never spoke Haig was good for a pat on the shoulder now and then but it was Agnew who conversed the most says Adams
Adams remembers ldquoOne time we picked him up at the Pentagon and we had taken off and had hit top altitude He usually would come up and look into the cockpit but this time he patted me on the shoulder and asked lsquoWell howrsquos it going today guysrsquordquo Adams replied ldquoNot bad sir and how about yourselfrdquo
Agnew answered ldquoMan they are really after my assrdquo He was talking about the press Adams says ldquoTwo weeks later he resignedrdquo
Adams recalls that his encounters with Agnew as defying the public perception
Adams far right gives instructions before a mission in Vietnam
Walla Walla LifestyLes 33
that Agnew was arrogant ldquoHe was always one of the nicest guys He was straightforward He looked like he had just stepped off the cover of Gentlemenrsquos Quarterly all the time He was very proper in the way he dressed but he had a sense of humor as wellrdquo
There were other humorous moments Adams recalls a certain reporter from CBS who had been a major thorn in President Nixonrsquos side was late for takeoff from the South Lawn of the White House one morning Just as Marine One was about to leave without him he came running across the lawn hollering and waving his arms The Secret Service agent supervising the flight told Adams to ldquojust gordquo The wind from the propellers whipped the reporterrsquos toupee right off his head and instead of continuing his run toward Marine One he reversed his field and tried feverishly to retrieve his toupee snagged in the hedges
ldquoEveryone got a pretty good chuckle out of thatrdquo
Of course there were somber times At one point Adams flew Cabinet members John Ehrlichman and Hr Haldeman to Camp David for a meeting with the president After only 15 minutes the two men returned and Marine One headed home Adams says it was a quiet flight He found out later the two men had been fired by President Nixon for their parts in the Watergate scandal
Whisking the president away from danger was a major part of being a pilot of Marine One Stationed across the river from the Capitol pilots awakened by an emergency alert had to be up in the air in five minutes This exercise was practiced often though never needed during Adamsrsquo tenure
One night however they thought it was The operator at the White House mistakenly hit the ldquoAlertrdquo button Marine One was in the air in five minutes
Although ground control had not spotted any enemy aircraft the operation was under way As Marine One closed in on the White House the operator at fault tried to alert everyone of his mistake but unfortunately used a poor choice of words to call off the operation
Adams chuckles as he says ldquoThe fella said lsquoThis is not an exercisersquo He was moved to another post i thinkrdquo
All levity aside the position required
the same kind of focus demanded of Adams in vietnam though it came in a different form
ldquoThere were three things the way you operated the aircraft and they were in this order safety comfort and speed Safety never gave in to comfort or speedrdquo says Adams ldquoOur job was just concentrating on doing our job it could have been anybody mdash we would do it the same way it could have been Fred Flintstone
ldquoThe difference between flying for the White House and in vietnam was we were flying a premier aircraft We had to keep it impeccably clean everything was scripted We had to have the lsquoopen-the-door timersquo down to two to four seconds in vietnam it was the stress of performing medevacs under fire or dropping troops under heavy artillery For Marine One it was the stress of doing the job rightrdquo
Also the stress of being away from onersquos family 200 days of the year wore on a Marine One pilot in 1974 after four years on the job the toll became too much and Adams stepped down
He would stay with the Marines for eight more years retiring in August 1982
By then he had received 44 Air Medals including the Joint Service Commendation and the Presidential Service Badge in his 20 years of service Adams flew seven different helicopters and five different fixed-wing planes
What makes an elite military pilot ldquoPilots who donrsquot have any misgivingsrdquo says Adams ldquoTheyrsquore totally prepared they know their aircraftrdquo
When talking about his colleagues on Marine One he adds ldquoNone were boasters They might brag about a great landing but they did not brag in spite of someone elserdquo
What did Adams love most about his flying days ldquoi enjoyed flying with the latest technology and the pristine quality of Marine One i loved the process of building my skills i could have flown another 40 years and i would still be learning thingsrdquo
is it any surprise his favorite hobby now is fly fishing

worked hard to start this event and to my great joy it has taken on an iden-tity of its own i hire the musicians and choose the music but the town its people and its environs make the festivalrdquo
The beauty of chamber music is its intimacy mdash smaller ensembles performing for smaller audiences it has been referred to as ldquothe music of friendsrdquo which seems so apt at this festival Free open rehearsals are held around town that provide not only a musical atmosphere in which to enjoy a latte or the ambiance of the kirkman House but which give a richer look into the machinations of a working ensemble
As one enthusiastic fan puts it ldquoi am not a musician and itrsquos fascinat-ing to watch these rehearsals to see the interactions of the musicians as they work out the snags make wry remarks and relate to each other in a whole different way than during a for-mal performance i get a glimpse into their personalities and what makes them tickrdquo
The festival supplies a generous of-fering of venues with free concerts for children and families relaxed evening programs at wineries and full concerts at the Foundry Chism Hall and Day-tonrsquos Liberty Theater
if you are lucky enough to live near the musiciansrsquo lodgings while they are in town you may also be treated to an ad hoc front-porch concert as the ensembles continue their rehearsals in more private settings The festival is about all of these ways mdash planned and accidental mdash to experience the enchantment of chamber music
it is also about historic continuity and the connection between past and present mdash relishing the existing canon while expanding the genre with con-temporary forms and voices
How is this accomplished in part by the annual commission of a new piece of music for the festival Chris-tie is committed to contributing to the broader chamber music repertoire and to providing the audience with the richest possible experience

ldquoFor classical music to be relevant there must be a conversation between the music of our time and the music of the pastrdquo he says
By commissioning a work for the festi-val each year Christie creates such a con-versation
This year the commission was given to John David Earnest Four festival commis-sions have preceded his and he is the sec-ond ldquolocalrdquo composer to be tapped add-ing another layer of relationship between community and event (in 2009 Whitman College professor David Glenn was given the nod)
As visiting adjunct professor of music at Whitman Earnest resides here for six weeks every semester His ldquoSecond Sym-phonyrdquo was written for and performed by the Walla Walla Symphony in October 2001
The challenge for the yearly commis-sionee is to compose a piece on demand within specific constraints of time place and instrumentation while expressing hisher own voice as an artist
Earnest has created ldquoCommedia Gal-leryrdquo a set of three movements for flute
viola and harp based on stock characters from the Commedia dellrsquoArte a popu-lar theatrical form that was influential in Europe for over 300 years Commedia characters improvised dialogue around set scenarios generally involving the struggles of young lovers to overcome hindrances to their romance and each character even-tually came to have a consistent set of at-tributes in speech mannerisms and cos-tume
Earnestrsquos ldquoGalleryrdquo gives us Arlecchi-no (Harlequin) an acrobatic and devious jester Pierrot the classic sad clown and finally Scaramouche a dandy and a brag-gart who is a coward at heart
in anticipation of this yearrsquos festival i am reminded of the scene in ldquoThe Music Manrdquo in which the town awaits the ar-rival of the Wells Fargo Wagon Potentially heaped with gifts and surprises it prom-ises connection to the larger world The WWCMF brings us all ldquosomethinrsquo specialrdquo mdash an enrichment of our community and our culture

Smith has gardened for years at his home at 38 Mulberry Court in College Place He used to grow vegetables and flowers now he is strictly focusing on flowers mdash with fabulous results roses delphiniums and lots of irises line the fence
ldquoirises mdash irsquove always enjoyed themrdquo he says ldquoThey take a little bit of weeding and watering but not much morerdquo itrsquos the gardenerrsquos dream mdash low maintenance with a big return
A retired orthopedic surgeon Smith has in the past gardened more extensively than he does now But he has enough plants to keep him busy His new project is planting more of the reblooming iris These are still hardy but you get twice the reward they bloom in the spring then again in the fall
ldquoTheyrsquore easy to grow and spectacular for a short time iris take less care than a lot of thingsrdquo Smith says
His secret for gardening is simple and therersquos no getting around it ldquoTime and workrdquo he laughs
Hersquos getting ready to start in the garden ldquoi need to clean out the leaves and the old foliage of the irisrdquo
in addition to the basic cleaning and maintenance Smith just decides how many plants to keep Bulb flowers are hardy and they multiply on their own
ldquoAfter five years you usually have to separate the bulbs when they get too thick i donrsquot have room to add more i put in the new re-blooming onesrdquo he explains ldquoi may add more and a few other thingsrdquo
But in a garden you can always try something new or rearrange existing plants often with a spectacular outcome

itrsquos an odd location since it can only be seen as yoursquore leaving town but it always makes me smile This valley my adopted home is indeed a great place to be
i recently finished reading the great Western writer Wallace Stegnerrsquos book ldquoThe Sound of Mountain Waterrdquo One of his essays traces his nomadic childhood which left him feeling rootless and without a place that he felt he could call home
i identify with his feeling of not belonging i was born to a single woman from Massachusetts in a New york City hospital i stayed a scant few days before being placed with an adoption agency Born in a place i had no familial connection to i was immediately deprived of my biological family Most of my childhood was spent in suburban Cleveland Ohio Moves to upstate New york New England and Pennsylvania brought me no closer to calling any place home i loved living in the western Massachusetts town of Stockbridge but the multigenerational denizens of the town left few openings for newcomers like me i lived in central Pennsylvania for several decades but felt detached from the deep roots that most people had in the area
When we came west (for my husband a homecoming to his Oregon roots for me a new experience) i noticed that even in long-established towns like Walla Walla there is ample room for newcomers who want to be
part of the community And most folks who choose to come here donrsquot seem to want to change the valley they prefer to embrace it
While the occasional newbie whines about the lack of Whole Foods or Nordstrom they soon discover our farmers markets the wide variety of local shops and boutiques and our world-class restaurants They fall in love with our charming downtowns the small-town friendliness of the people and our kid-friendly environment Then therersquos the holiday parade the fair the ever-present Blue Mountains the parks the museums the wineries mdash really whatrsquos not to like The communities of our valley represent America at its best
irsquom a newspaper junkie i love to read everything from news to sports to classifieds mdash even the obituaries The obits are a fascinating window on our valley Many of the people chronicled were born here some lived all their lives here inextricably bound to this place But a number of people came here from other places often far away and have made a mark on our area Which makes me wonder mdash is a place any less of a hometown because you choose it or is it based primarily on the happenstance of your birth it seems that therersquos room for both paths to calling this wonderful valley home
itrsquos also our strength because collectively as a community we bring both deep familial and cultural traditions as well as the fresh perspective of newcomers to our area irsquom glad mdash after decades of searching mdash that i finally found my hometown a place that feels just right

Play is important in Walla Walla the play will truly be the thing when Shakespeare Walla Walla presents ldquoThe Merry Wives of Windsorrdquo at the newly restored Power House Theatre this month Lifestyles is teaming up with SWW for an inaugural event that will offer guests food fashion and merriment in the Elizabethan manner May 18 Check out our cover spread for a preview of the event
Winston Churchill may have described golf best when he said it ldquois a game whose aim is to hit a very small ball into an even smaller hole with weapons singularly ill-designed for the purposerdquo
So if you are going to pursue the sport it makes sense to get the best coaching possible Al Mundle who spent 57 years helping others improve their games thought he had put tinkering with other peoplersquos grip stance and swing away for good But that was before Terri Hanson convinced him to offer some pointers to her son Jake who was heading into his final year on the links for the Walla Walla High School Blue Devils
Jim Buchan shows you how this relationship has worked
Work to a lot of people can be repetitious drudgery Larry Adams never had that problem Whether he was flying into enemy fire in vietnam or piloting a helicopter for the president each day challenged his skills and preparation Adams recounts some of those adventures for Lifestyles
Skill and preparation are necessary ingredients for cooking Gina Medica tells how she learned to make culinary creations from Cuba Her specialty is a flan dessert
Dr Donald Smithrsquos specialty is creating an eye-catching garden of colorful flowers The iris is a primary element of his palette Check out his creations in Secret Gardens
Columnist Catie Mcintyre Walker explains how the original palette for the LrsquoEcole No 41 wine labels came from a childrsquos watercolor As the winery has matured it has decided it was time to update the labels

Walla Walla LifestyLes 11
Born in Miami and then raised in Central Los Angeles by her Cuban-born parents Medica learned her craft by observing her mother work in the kitchen Of all Medicarsquos culinary creations it is her Cuban flan dessert that receives the most requests
ldquoEveryone in the family would always request it especially my nieces and nephewrdquo Medica says sitting at her dining room table the freshly presented flan resting in front of her ldquoMy bro can easily eat half of itrdquo
And the flan does not remain uneaten for long as i sit down with the Walla Walla businesswoman and her daughter Elizabeth to discuss and taste this delicacy Minutes after we begin our conversation nephew Nick arrives and quickly wolfs down two servings
irsquove already finished my first and am working on my second when we begin our conversation
LifEStyLES With both of your parents being Havana natives did you eat Cuban food exclusively
MEDiCa No but in the early days Thanksgiving was pretty different My mom would fix the turkey but shersquod serve it with black beans and white rice Wersquod be ldquoAh mom canrsquot we have regular Thanksgiving food like mashed potatoes and yamsrdquo Those came later as we lived in the States longer
LifEStyLES So the food changed as you kids grew older
MEDiCa Well my mom was always pretty good at American food but sometimes it wasnrsquot all the way like she made American spaghetti but she put chicken in it it was good but my brother would always complain that it didnrsquot have meatballs Now he misses the chicken
LifEStyLES How many kids do you have in the family
MEDiCa i have an older brother and a younger sister irsquom the middle one We didnrsquot have a normal childhood in the sense that my mom was a hairstylist at home and on Saturday mornings customers would start arriving at 8 And she had one of those big old hair dryers

that you put over someonersquos head mdash we called it ldquoFidel Castrordquo mdash and yoursquod have these customers yelling at the top of their voice while they were under it So i never got to sleep in
LifEStyLES it sounds like your mother was quite a lady
MEDiCa i recently found some of her original recipes you know in her own handwriting One of them is for croquetta which was really good you take chicken with corned beef and grind them up bread it and then fry it itrsquos really goodrdquo
LifEStyLES Why do you like the flan so much
MEDiCa Because everyone in the family always requested it i make it a little different The way i make it it is a little more creamy because i use cream cheese itrsquos more like a custard Many times in Mexican restaurants the flan will be more jello-y This is almost like cheesecake
LifEStyLES is it strictly for dessert
MEDiCa yes itrsquos for special occasions
LifEStyLES Like birthdays and parties
MEDiCa yes itrsquos not light you canrsquot have too much or your stomach will start to ache
LifEStyLES Does it take a long time to prepare
MEDiCa Not really Making the caramel sauce takes the most time and you canrsquot take your eyes off it or it might burn
LifEStyLES Tastes like it didnrsquot burn
MEDiCa No i had lots of help My daughter Elizabeth (and she glances over at her youngest child) helped me a lot

The old Frenchtown schoolhouse built in 1915 with the stately bell tower still stands it has been a historic fixture in the Walla Walla valley that many of us have grown up with even if we never attended classes there One can still stride up the long sidewalk to the large heavy carved doors with a feeling of reverence and trepidation mdash as if it were the first day of school mdash while imagining generations of children playing on the manicured grounds
in the 1970s the old schoolhouse classrooms found themselves empty of childrenrsquos laughter But in 1983 Jean and Baker Ferguson breathed new life into the old building founding what would become one of the premier wineries in Washington LrsquoEcole No 41
The name was historically im-portant in two ways ldquoLrsquoEcolerdquo French for ldquothe schoolrdquo recognized the French men and women who settled the area and ldquo41rdquo was the numerical designation of the school district
The Fergusonsrsquo first crush of 1983 was resting in the barrel when the following year they asked their elementary school-aged family members to draw an image that would best reflect the new project
The $100 prize went to an 8-year-old cousin whose watercolor interpretation of the old schoolhouse became the template for a wine label it became an iconic label known to wine lovers around the world
in 1989 the second generation of the family Jean and Bakerrsquos daughter and son-
in-law Megan and Martin (Marty) Clubb became the new proprietors of the winery Marty became the general manager and winemaker and would lead the small artisan winery to new heights mdash it would eventually produce more than 30000 cases annually
At the same time the Washington state wine industry was booming and would soon become the nationrsquos second-largest wine producer The area would become one of the premium wine-producing regions in the United States
Marty also became a pioneer in the

Washington state wine industry as he became a founder and activist in many of the wine industryrsquos foundations and alliances The family-owned winery also partnered with some of the most prestigious vineyards in the state LrsquoEcole No 41 has been honored nine consecutive years by Wine amp Spirits magazine as ldquoWinery of the yearrdquo becoming the second Washington winery inducted into the Hall of Fame
There is a third-generation that has grown up around the winery and will eventually become caretakers of this legacy Meganrsquos and Martyrsquos children Jeanrsquos and Bakerrsquos grandchildren rebecca and riley Clubb had their own meaningful influence on the label with their childhood drawings on the labelrsquos chalkboard image
riley is a 2009 graduate of Whitman College and is employed at the winery rebecca is enrolled in Washington State Universityrsquos wine management program and expected to graduate in 2012
The winery will soon celebrate its 30th birthday The wines produced at the old schoolhouse are refined with true varietal character and can stand up against many coveted wines from France mdash and they have Now that LrsquoEcole is a top player in the world of wine the whimsical label on its bottles is no longer truly indicative of the sophisticated gold and dark-red liquids behind the glass
ldquoLooking to the future we wanted our label to reflect the winery we have becomerdquo says Marty Clubb
This year the winery will unveil a new label it will still depict the iconic schoolhouse but with deeper colors and a new texture There will be a distinct difference among the labels depending on the vineyards used Wines produced from Columbia valley vineyards will have a soft charcoal-colored background label and the labels for the wines produced from Walla Walla vineyards will be more sepia-toned
Another distinctive change will be the de-emphasizing of the ldquoNo 41rdquo as generations of wine lovers have often referred to the winery as ldquoLrsquoEcolerdquo
The new label will be a timeless reminder of the past as well as a welcome to future generations

it was 1954 the year he graduated from the University of Oregon and two female students from the university were interested in learning some of the finer points of the game
ldquoit was probably the worst lesson anybody has ever givenrdquo Mundle exclaimed shaking his head in dismay ldquoThese two young ladies were looking for some help and i worked with them for an hour-and-a-half And at the end of that time i said lsquoi have done such a poor job i will pay you for the time i have put you through this torturersquordquo

Painful as it was the lesson learned proved to be a career-launching moment for Mundle who dedicated himself to his trade and spent a lifetime in the golf business successfully working up and down the i-5 corridor as course operator teacher and player
Fifty-seven years after that first teaching debacle Mundle now 79 years old is retired and living in Walla Walla He and his wife Ann relocated here last summer determined to give up teaching golf and spend more time playing the game they both love
ldquoAfter all of these years of teaching i feel that this is the time to lay it asiderdquo Mundle said ldquoi will still do a little studying of the golf swing and methods and i will be involved with some of the other local professionals in some cracker-barrel sessions when they get together to discuss teaching methods problems and how to solve them
ldquoBut i really came here not to teach but to play some golfrdquo
That was the plan anyway before he was introduced to Walla Walla High School senior Jake Hanson who was looking for a little extra help with his game heading into his final year on the links as a Blue Devil
Terri Hanson Jakersquos mother was aware of Mundlersquos reputation as a teaching professional and heard through the grapevine he was living in Walla Walla
ldquoBeing the mom i am i called him one dayrdquo Terri remembered ldquoi told him that Jakersquos golf game was at a standstill i asked him to take a look at Jake and he agreed to come and meet us and get a feel for where Jake was at

Hanson holds his new mentor in high esteem
ldquoirsquove learned a tremendous amountrdquo Hanson said ldquoHe has a way of getting through to me in a positive way He got through to me that i am so much better than i thought i could be He has more confidence in me than i have in myself
ldquoHe has one of the best golf swings i have ever seen and he is still working on his own gamerdquo
Mundle said Hanson reminds him of former University of Oregon player Ben Crane who now plays on the PGA Tour Crane has been playing professionally since 2007 and earned nearly $3 million on the tour in 2010
ldquoi was Benrsquos swing coach at Oregon and Jake is somewhat similarrdquo Mundle said ldquoBen worked harder than anybody on the whole golf team He would put in as much
time as three or four others combined and Jake is very much the same way Hersquos very dedicatedrdquo
However Mundle insists that helping Hanson with his game is a one-time situation
After playing just six rounds of golf last year Mundle is determined that he and Ann will spend a lot more time on the golf course as they get acquainted with their new hometown
ldquoThatrsquos an all-time lowrdquo he said of the six rounds played in 2010 ldquoMostly it was the move and all mdash a new house putting in lawn fencing shelving in the garage mdash all the little things of getting settled
ldquoBut this was a good move for us We love it here We enjoy the weather and the people you can walk down the street and people look you in the eye and say lsquoHellorsquo i love that friendlinessrdquo
Mundle grew up in Eugene and graduated from University High School in 1950 He knew he said from the time he was in the seventh grade he wanted to make golf his lifersquos work
ldquoyou might say that i had a little parental directionrdquo Mundle said ldquoMy dad went to the University of St Andrews in Scotland and he played golf at the St Andrews Old Course And my mother also played golfrdquo
After high school Mundle enrolled at the University of Oregon and played three years of varsity golf during an era when there was no such thing as a golf scholarship
ldquoThe only thing we ever received was a half-a-dozen golf balls if we went into a tournamentrdquo Mundle recalled ldquoWhen i went to the NCAA Championships in Texas my senior year i was given a new

pair of golf shoes but that was itldquoWe bought all of our own gear mdash
clubs bags rain gear everything itrsquos a whole different ball game today They have everythingrdquo
At the end of his sophomore year at Oregon Mundle had it in his mind to ldquotest my golf on the PGA Tourrdquo he said But his father an English professor at the university discouraged him
ldquoHe said lsquoGet your education first then you can do whatever you wantrsquordquo Mundle said ldquoit was just as well i saved a lot of wear and tear mdash and money i was an Ok player but not of that caliberrdquo
Mundle still has fond memories of his collegiate playing career however
ldquoi played three years for the university mdash you werenrsquot allowed to play as freshmen mdash and Oregon always had fine golf teamsrdquo Mundle said ldquoit was mostly match
play then and i was there during the time that the school went seven straight years without losing a (team) dual matchrdquo
During his senior year Mundle qualified for the NCAA Championships in Houston From a field of about 160 players Mundle made it as far as the quarterfinal round
He graduated in 1954 with a degree in history which he said he never really used
ldquoMy dad was in the top one percent of his class at St Andrewsrdquo Mundle said ldquoMy mother was also in the top part of her class and my older brother Pete was in the top of his class And then i came alongrdquo
His first golf job was as an assistant pro at his home course the Laurelwood Golf Course a position he accepted shortly after graduating from UO This was when and where the infamous first golf lesson
occurredA two-year stint in the US Army took
Mundle away from his profession in 1955-56 But he managed to keep his golf game sharp as a member of the Fort knox golf team and in 1956 he was the runner-up in the Second Army tournament and he placed 13th in the All-Army tournament
Then it was back to the Willamette valley where he came into his own in the Portland area under head professionals Eddie Hogan at riverside Country Club and Bunny Mason at Columbia Edgewater
ldquoThose two people were very influential in my professional liferdquo Mundle said
ldquoEddie was a very fine teacher of the total golf operation and service was No 1 i learned how to run the pro shop how
Jake Hanson takes a few pointers on chipping from his instructor and mentor Al Mundle
Continued on pg 20 gt
20 Walla Walla LifestyLes
people ltcontinued from pg 19
to market and merchandise mdash everything from how to run the club service program to the electric cart program to basically running the golf course
ldquoBunny was also a very fine operator of a golf shop and i also learned a lot about teaching from Bunny Sometimes you go along in life and there are certain mentors who help you along the way Anybody who says they made it by themselves is not being honest with themselves We have all had someone who has given us a little boost along the wayrdquo
Mundle took his first head professional job in 1965 at Overlake Golf and Country Club in Bellevue where he remained until 1981 At that point he returned to Eugene and was the head pro at the Eugene Country Club for three years followed by a six-year stint at the Bear Creek Country Club in Seattle
He also spent a short time at a golf course in Cottage Grove Ore before moving back to Eugene for a third time in 1993 to become the director of golf instruction at the river ridge Golf Course He remained at river ridge until his retirement last summer During his time there he helped out as the swing coach at UO under then-head coach Steve Nosler
Through it all Mundle served as president of the Washington PGA and the Pacific Northwest PGA and was a member of several National PGA committees As a player he participated in the Oregon Washington and Pacific Northwest opens as well as the Washington and Oregon PGA events One of his highlights was winning the Oregon Senior PGA Match-Play Championships in Bend in 1993
ldquoi felt i had an obligation to participaterdquo Mundle said ldquoi played a lot of golf including many many pro-ams and i won a couple of assistant championshipsrdquo
in addition to Crane Mundle also helped shape the careers of Jeff Quinney and Eric Johnson both of whom are from the Eugene area
Quinney won the United States Amateur championship in 2000 and represented the US in the Walker Cup in 2001 He has appeared in 128 PGA Tour events since 2007 placing second twice and third twice
Johnson played several years on the Asian Tour and one on the Nationwide Tour He is now a head professional at a

course in San rafael CalifldquoAnd there have been some others mdash
Brian Henninger Mike Gove a few others mdash who have called and wanted to discus their swingrdquo Mundle said ldquoNothing on a regular basis just one or two sessionsrdquo
is Hanson his next mdash and perhaps his last mdash prodigy
Thatrsquos a tricky question since Hanson came to golf late after a budding baseball career was derailed by a shoulder injury He was a first-team all-Big Nine Conference golf selection as a junior but has yet to qualify for state and his summer resume is thin because of his baseball background
Hansonrsquos original plan was to attend Walla Walla Community College and play golf for the Warriors with the hope of earning an NCAA Division i scholarship But he has since decided to enroll in Arizona State Universityrsquos Professional Golf Management program and try out for the ASU golf team as a walk on
ldquoMore than anything i think it came down to him evaluating his goalsrdquo said Jakersquos father Gary Hanson ldquoitrsquos everyonersquos dream to play on the PGA Tour but realistically he wants to be a golf pro and teach He loves
the gamerdquoAnd a degree in the PGM program
will provide Jake with the educational background he needs to be successful in any form of business his father added
Though his chances of making the ASU varsity team seem unlikely the PGM program provides a club golf team that participates in a series of tournaments throughout the year and gives Hanson a second playing option
And keeping your options open is optimum at this point Mundle said
ldquoi think his driving force at this time mdash and also his folks mdash is to get his education And then he can do whatever he wants if he doesnrsquot go into (the golfing business) immediately he will always have it as a backuprdquo
Sounds an awful lot like the advice Thomas Mundle offered his son back in the spring of 1952 when Al Mundle wanted to leave school after his sophomore year and test his wings on the PGA Tour And as we now know all these years later staying in school worked out pretty well for Al

T H E A T R EPOWER HOUSE
My director Terry Edward Moore told me his only direction from the artistic director was that it be ldquoperiodrdquo that is to say authentic to the time
ldquoMerry Wivesrdquo is the only one of Shakespearersquos plays that is set in his own time so it was decided to present it as if the actors were people of the time doing what would be a contemporary (to the late 16th century) play
i started to research the clothing of the time how it was constructed and what kinds of fabrics were available at the time mdash linens homespuns woolens for the common people and silks damasks velvets and furs for the upper classes i discovered that Elizabethan society was strictly regulated in terms of social classes and upward mobility was a little-known concept Once a yeoman always a yeoman i also discovered the set of rules and regulations called ldquosumptuary lawsrdquo which specifically dictated what types of fabrics trims furs and even what colors each class was allowed to wear
Since there are three distinct classes represented in ldquoMerry Wivesrdquo mdash merchant class soldiers and servants mdash i tried to give each class its own color palette based on these laws The overall palette of the show is based on colors actually in use at the time
The availability of dyes was limited (except for the nobility) so the palette consists of many shades of yellows and browns russets black some greens and blue-grays and of course wheat-colored unbleached linen i turned to the Dutch painter Brueghel for inspiration on how the common people looked and dressed
i also researched what kinds of dyes were used and where they came from Dyes were created from all sorts of different things such as walnut shell crushed beetles and all kinds of roots i found a website that sells these authentic dyestuffs so irsquom using the real thing to dye some of the linen pieces and will coordinate the contemporary fabrics to these authentic colors
Nearly every piece will need something done to it mdash altered in some way to fit the actor re-trimmed rigged invisibly for quick changes etc mdash so there is a lot of labor involved Also hats were a hugely important part of Elizabethan fashion all the way down to the poorest serf
Certain styles of hats were often associated with certain professions mdash eg doctors scholars mdash so there are a number of hats to build as well as headpieces for the women No self-respecting woman went about with her head uncovered
Putting together a show like this is like putting together a giant jigsaw puzzle and the pieces are the costumes that irsquove borrowed and rented from other theater companies in the Seattle area such as Seattle repertory Seattle Opera and the University of Washington as well as pieces from Oregon Shakespeare Festival i design the show and then go out into the world and try to find pieces that approximate my designs and palette as closely as possible (usually with some reworking first) The pieces that i cant find and dont want to compromise on i build from scratch

But thatrsquos exactly what longtime Walla Walla resident Larry Adams did for four years He was one of a select group of pilots for Marine One the helicopter counterpart of the presidential airplane Air Force One from 1970 to 1974

Long before Adams became the Walla Walla Airport manager he was transporting heads of state foreign dignitaries famous (and now infamous) Cabinet members the executive staff and President richard M Nixon during one of the nationrsquos most turbulent times the withdrawal from vietnam and the Watergate scandal
But to Adams a native of Northern idaho all that swirled around the Nixon presidency was the least of his concerns His job was to transport the president safely to Andrews Air Force Base or Camp David or fly any short flight required Safety always at a premium End of story
Many times Adams ferried President Nixon and his staff on short flights far away from home Air Force One might fly President Nixon to a summit or a meeting with a foreign head of state but Marine One and Adams were always nearby to shuttle the chief executive on short flights or to whisk him away from sudden danger
Pretty heady stuff for a fourth-grade teacher who had never thought about flying until a Marine recruiter offered him the opportunity Although Adams had watched planes take off and land at a nearby air base as a child he had never given serious thought to flying it was more a need for a bigger paycheck than passion that brought Adams to his destiny
He liked teaching but it just wasnrsquot paying the bills So Adams turned to the military and the Gi Bill After being unimpressed by other recruiters Adams took a liking to the fellow from the Marines for as Adams recalls the recruiter took an interest in him After about an hour of talking the recruiter suggested Adams might have the potential to be a pilot
Having easily passed some preliminary tests Adams was sent to flight school in Pensacola Fla and a stellar career was ready to take off He performed well in all the aircraft he piloted but he showed a special skill for helicopters
Up until 1965 fixed-wing airplanes were the staple of all military air combat But the military had been gearing up for a big change The helicopter was to become a major part of combat The Pentagon had been developing helicopters that would do much more than transport troops to bases Now they would assist in bombing
raids ground attacks and the evacuation of the injured from the point of combat This new breed of helicopters would also possess the ability to fight back and not be lame ducks as before the new H34 would tote machine guns on each side
These cutting-edge aircraft would travel at unprecedented speeds with newly discovered agility Gifted pilots were needed not those who merely possessed superior technical skills but those who also had the composure to fly straight into
enemy fire in the dead of night picking up injured soldiers or aiding air attacks
Adams was one of those pilots and he would be one of two squadron leaders for ldquoOperation Starliterdquo mdash the first major assault using helicopters The Marines were going straight into a North vietnamese regimental stronghold No one knew what to expect
ldquoWe lost a lot that first time inrdquo says Adams ldquoTwo crew chiefs were killed
Continued on pg 32 gt
In this newspaper clipping Larry Adams poses on the steps of the helicopter dubbed Marine One which he piloted for President Richard M Nixon

people ltcontinued from pg 31
four pilots were medevaced out because of their wounds i donrsquot think there was one helicopter that didnrsquot have a bunch of holes in it The one i flew in we got a lot of rounds in it Amazingly no one was hurt but when we got back the helicopter was so shot-up you couldnrsquot fly it anymore We lost 50 percent of our helicopters that dayrdquo
in the next 13 months Adams would fly many more missions often heading straight into anti-aircraft fire to pick up injured or killed soldiers He says he would see the flares signifying where the copter was supposed to land but frequently hersquod have to veer off because ground communication would say ldquoThe artillery is too hotrdquo Then there would be a window maybe two minutes maybe five when the helicopter could drop in and pick up the injured often being shot at as it waited for its passengers
Adams knew the best way to survive was to keep his focus ldquoin the daylight when you start your run in and yoursquore getting shot at Everything went to black and white for me i didnrsquot notice the green trees or the green rice paddies until we got out of there and then it would come back
to me i donrsquot know what that was i just didnrsquot see the colors irsquove talked to some other pilots and they described the same thingrdquo
in his two tours of duty in vietnam Adams would fly 880 combat missions in several types of helicopters and fixed-wing airplanes He received numerous medals including two Navy commendations for performance under combat conditions
Then the call came to fly for the president Before Adams could tote the commander in chief around in Marine One a thorough background check had to be done So thorough was the check that Adams said a friend from his hometown sent him a card that read ldquoAre you in some kind of trouble Jesus therersquos been a bunch of people around here with the dark grey suits and the skinny little ties Theyrsquore asking all these embarrassing questions about you like did you have drinking problem Did you have a gambling problem Do you know what Larryrsquos sexual preference wasrdquo
Adams chuckles ldquoit was pretty funnyrdquoAdams passed the grade and soon
he was flying President Nixon and his family to Camp David or picking up vice
President Spiro Agnew at the Pentagon or taking Secretary of State Henry kissinger or Secretary of Defense Alexander Haig to a classified meeting Although his flights varied from transporting foreign heads of state to flying members of the press the majority involved the president the vice president kissinger and Haig
The pilots did not speak to their travelers unless spoken to says Adams President Nixon usually looked in and asked them how they were kissinger never spoke Haig was good for a pat on the shoulder now and then but it was Agnew who conversed the most says Adams
Adams remembers ldquoOne time we picked him up at the Pentagon and we had taken off and had hit top altitude He usually would come up and look into the cockpit but this time he patted me on the shoulder and asked lsquoWell howrsquos it going today guysrsquordquo Adams replied ldquoNot bad sir and how about yourselfrdquo
Agnew answered ldquoMan they are really after my assrdquo He was talking about the press Adams says ldquoTwo weeks later he resignedrdquo
Adams recalls that his encounters with Agnew as defying the public perception
Adams far right gives instructions before a mission in Vietnam
Walla Walla LifestyLes 33
that Agnew was arrogant ldquoHe was always one of the nicest guys He was straightforward He looked like he had just stepped off the cover of Gentlemenrsquos Quarterly all the time He was very proper in the way he dressed but he had a sense of humor as wellrdquo
There were other humorous moments Adams recalls a certain reporter from CBS who had been a major thorn in President Nixonrsquos side was late for takeoff from the South Lawn of the White House one morning Just as Marine One was about to leave without him he came running across the lawn hollering and waving his arms The Secret Service agent supervising the flight told Adams to ldquojust gordquo The wind from the propellers whipped the reporterrsquos toupee right off his head and instead of continuing his run toward Marine One he reversed his field and tried feverishly to retrieve his toupee snagged in the hedges
ldquoEveryone got a pretty good chuckle out of thatrdquo
Of course there were somber times At one point Adams flew Cabinet members John Ehrlichman and Hr Haldeman to Camp David for a meeting with the president After only 15 minutes the two men returned and Marine One headed home Adams says it was a quiet flight He found out later the two men had been fired by President Nixon for their parts in the Watergate scandal
Whisking the president away from danger was a major part of being a pilot of Marine One Stationed across the river from the Capitol pilots awakened by an emergency alert had to be up in the air in five minutes This exercise was practiced often though never needed during Adamsrsquo tenure
One night however they thought it was The operator at the White House mistakenly hit the ldquoAlertrdquo button Marine One was in the air in five minutes
Although ground control had not spotted any enemy aircraft the operation was under way As Marine One closed in on the White House the operator at fault tried to alert everyone of his mistake but unfortunately used a poor choice of words to call off the operation
Adams chuckles as he says ldquoThe fella said lsquoThis is not an exercisersquo He was moved to another post i thinkrdquo
All levity aside the position required
the same kind of focus demanded of Adams in vietnam though it came in a different form
ldquoThere were three things the way you operated the aircraft and they were in this order safety comfort and speed Safety never gave in to comfort or speedrdquo says Adams ldquoOur job was just concentrating on doing our job it could have been anybody mdash we would do it the same way it could have been Fred Flintstone
ldquoThe difference between flying for the White House and in vietnam was we were flying a premier aircraft We had to keep it impeccably clean everything was scripted We had to have the lsquoopen-the-door timersquo down to two to four seconds in vietnam it was the stress of performing medevacs under fire or dropping troops under heavy artillery For Marine One it was the stress of doing the job rightrdquo
Also the stress of being away from onersquos family 200 days of the year wore on a Marine One pilot in 1974 after four years on the job the toll became too much and Adams stepped down
He would stay with the Marines for eight more years retiring in August 1982
By then he had received 44 Air Medals including the Joint Service Commendation and the Presidential Service Badge in his 20 years of service Adams flew seven different helicopters and five different fixed-wing planes
What makes an elite military pilot ldquoPilots who donrsquot have any misgivingsrdquo says Adams ldquoTheyrsquore totally prepared they know their aircraftrdquo
When talking about his colleagues on Marine One he adds ldquoNone were boasters They might brag about a great landing but they did not brag in spite of someone elserdquo
What did Adams love most about his flying days ldquoi enjoyed flying with the latest technology and the pristine quality of Marine One i loved the process of building my skills i could have flown another 40 years and i would still be learning thingsrdquo
is it any surprise his favorite hobby now is fly fishing

worked hard to start this event and to my great joy it has taken on an iden-tity of its own i hire the musicians and choose the music but the town its people and its environs make the festivalrdquo
The beauty of chamber music is its intimacy mdash smaller ensembles performing for smaller audiences it has been referred to as ldquothe music of friendsrdquo which seems so apt at this festival Free open rehearsals are held around town that provide not only a musical atmosphere in which to enjoy a latte or the ambiance of the kirkman House but which give a richer look into the machinations of a working ensemble
As one enthusiastic fan puts it ldquoi am not a musician and itrsquos fascinat-ing to watch these rehearsals to see the interactions of the musicians as they work out the snags make wry remarks and relate to each other in a whole different way than during a for-mal performance i get a glimpse into their personalities and what makes them tickrdquo
The festival supplies a generous of-fering of venues with free concerts for children and families relaxed evening programs at wineries and full concerts at the Foundry Chism Hall and Day-tonrsquos Liberty Theater
if you are lucky enough to live near the musiciansrsquo lodgings while they are in town you may also be treated to an ad hoc front-porch concert as the ensembles continue their rehearsals in more private settings The festival is about all of these ways mdash planned and accidental mdash to experience the enchantment of chamber music
it is also about historic continuity and the connection between past and present mdash relishing the existing canon while expanding the genre with con-temporary forms and voices
How is this accomplished in part by the annual commission of a new piece of music for the festival Chris-tie is committed to contributing to the broader chamber music repertoire and to providing the audience with the richest possible experience

ldquoFor classical music to be relevant there must be a conversation between the music of our time and the music of the pastrdquo he says
By commissioning a work for the festi-val each year Christie creates such a con-versation
This year the commission was given to John David Earnest Four festival commis-sions have preceded his and he is the sec-ond ldquolocalrdquo composer to be tapped add-ing another layer of relationship between community and event (in 2009 Whitman College professor David Glenn was given the nod)
As visiting adjunct professor of music at Whitman Earnest resides here for six weeks every semester His ldquoSecond Sym-phonyrdquo was written for and performed by the Walla Walla Symphony in October 2001
The challenge for the yearly commis-sionee is to compose a piece on demand within specific constraints of time place and instrumentation while expressing hisher own voice as an artist
Earnest has created ldquoCommedia Gal-leryrdquo a set of three movements for flute
viola and harp based on stock characters from the Commedia dellrsquoArte a popu-lar theatrical form that was influential in Europe for over 300 years Commedia characters improvised dialogue around set scenarios generally involving the struggles of young lovers to overcome hindrances to their romance and each character even-tually came to have a consistent set of at-tributes in speech mannerisms and cos-tume
Earnestrsquos ldquoGalleryrdquo gives us Arlecchi-no (Harlequin) an acrobatic and devious jester Pierrot the classic sad clown and finally Scaramouche a dandy and a brag-gart who is a coward at heart
in anticipation of this yearrsquos festival i am reminded of the scene in ldquoThe Music Manrdquo in which the town awaits the ar-rival of the Wells Fargo Wagon Potentially heaped with gifts and surprises it prom-ises connection to the larger world The WWCMF brings us all ldquosomethinrsquo specialrdquo mdash an enrichment of our community and our culture

Smith has gardened for years at his home at 38 Mulberry Court in College Place He used to grow vegetables and flowers now he is strictly focusing on flowers mdash with fabulous results roses delphiniums and lots of irises line the fence
ldquoirises mdash irsquove always enjoyed themrdquo he says ldquoThey take a little bit of weeding and watering but not much morerdquo itrsquos the gardenerrsquos dream mdash low maintenance with a big return
A retired orthopedic surgeon Smith has in the past gardened more extensively than he does now But he has enough plants to keep him busy His new project is planting more of the reblooming iris These are still hardy but you get twice the reward they bloom in the spring then again in the fall
ldquoTheyrsquore easy to grow and spectacular for a short time iris take less care than a lot of thingsrdquo Smith says
His secret for gardening is simple and therersquos no getting around it ldquoTime and workrdquo he laughs
Hersquos getting ready to start in the garden ldquoi need to clean out the leaves and the old foliage of the irisrdquo
in addition to the basic cleaning and maintenance Smith just decides how many plants to keep Bulb flowers are hardy and they multiply on their own
ldquoAfter five years you usually have to separate the bulbs when they get too thick i donrsquot have room to add more i put in the new re-blooming onesrdquo he explains ldquoi may add more and a few other thingsrdquo
But in a garden you can always try something new or rearrange existing plants often with a spectacular outcome

itrsquos an odd location since it can only be seen as yoursquore leaving town but it always makes me smile This valley my adopted home is indeed a great place to be
i recently finished reading the great Western writer Wallace Stegnerrsquos book ldquoThe Sound of Mountain Waterrdquo One of his essays traces his nomadic childhood which left him feeling rootless and without a place that he felt he could call home
i identify with his feeling of not belonging i was born to a single woman from Massachusetts in a New york City hospital i stayed a scant few days before being placed with an adoption agency Born in a place i had no familial connection to i was immediately deprived of my biological family Most of my childhood was spent in suburban Cleveland Ohio Moves to upstate New york New England and Pennsylvania brought me no closer to calling any place home i loved living in the western Massachusetts town of Stockbridge but the multigenerational denizens of the town left few openings for newcomers like me i lived in central Pennsylvania for several decades but felt detached from the deep roots that most people had in the area
When we came west (for my husband a homecoming to his Oregon roots for me a new experience) i noticed that even in long-established towns like Walla Walla there is ample room for newcomers who want to be
part of the community And most folks who choose to come here donrsquot seem to want to change the valley they prefer to embrace it
While the occasional newbie whines about the lack of Whole Foods or Nordstrom they soon discover our farmers markets the wide variety of local shops and boutiques and our world-class restaurants They fall in love with our charming downtowns the small-town friendliness of the people and our kid-friendly environment Then therersquos the holiday parade the fair the ever-present Blue Mountains the parks the museums the wineries mdash really whatrsquos not to like The communities of our valley represent America at its best
irsquom a newspaper junkie i love to read everything from news to sports to classifieds mdash even the obituaries The obits are a fascinating window on our valley Many of the people chronicled were born here some lived all their lives here inextricably bound to this place But a number of people came here from other places often far away and have made a mark on our area Which makes me wonder mdash is a place any less of a hometown because you choose it or is it based primarily on the happenstance of your birth it seems that therersquos room for both paths to calling this wonderful valley home
itrsquos also our strength because collectively as a community we bring both deep familial and cultural traditions as well as the fresh perspective of newcomers to our area irsquom glad mdash after decades of searching mdash that i finally found my hometown a place that feels just right

Play is important in Walla Walla the play will truly be the thing when Shakespeare Walla Walla presents ldquoThe Merry Wives of Windsorrdquo at the newly restored Power House Theatre this month Lifestyles is teaming up with SWW for an inaugural event that will offer guests food fashion and merriment in the Elizabethan manner May 18 Check out our cover spread for a preview of the event
Winston Churchill may have described golf best when he said it ldquois a game whose aim is to hit a very small ball into an even smaller hole with weapons singularly ill-designed for the purposerdquo
So if you are going to pursue the sport it makes sense to get the best coaching possible Al Mundle who spent 57 years helping others improve their games thought he had put tinkering with other peoplersquos grip stance and swing away for good But that was before Terri Hanson convinced him to offer some pointers to her son Jake who was heading into his final year on the links for the Walla Walla High School Blue Devils
Jim Buchan shows you how this relationship has worked
Work to a lot of people can be repetitious drudgery Larry Adams never had that problem Whether he was flying into enemy fire in vietnam or piloting a helicopter for the president each day challenged his skills and preparation Adams recounts some of those adventures for Lifestyles
Skill and preparation are necessary ingredients for cooking Gina Medica tells how she learned to make culinary creations from Cuba Her specialty is a flan dessert
Dr Donald Smithrsquos specialty is creating an eye-catching garden of colorful flowers The iris is a primary element of his palette Check out his creations in Secret Gardens
Columnist Catie Mcintyre Walker explains how the original palette for the LrsquoEcole No 41 wine labels came from a childrsquos watercolor As the winery has matured it has decided it was time to update the labels

Walla Walla LifestyLes 11
Born in Miami and then raised in Central Los Angeles by her Cuban-born parents Medica learned her craft by observing her mother work in the kitchen Of all Medicarsquos culinary creations it is her Cuban flan dessert that receives the most requests
ldquoEveryone in the family would always request it especially my nieces and nephewrdquo Medica says sitting at her dining room table the freshly presented flan resting in front of her ldquoMy bro can easily eat half of itrdquo
And the flan does not remain uneaten for long as i sit down with the Walla Walla businesswoman and her daughter Elizabeth to discuss and taste this delicacy Minutes after we begin our conversation nephew Nick arrives and quickly wolfs down two servings
irsquove already finished my first and am working on my second when we begin our conversation
LifEStyLES With both of your parents being Havana natives did you eat Cuban food exclusively
MEDiCa No but in the early days Thanksgiving was pretty different My mom would fix the turkey but shersquod serve it with black beans and white rice Wersquod be ldquoAh mom canrsquot we have regular Thanksgiving food like mashed potatoes and yamsrdquo Those came later as we lived in the States longer
LifEStyLES So the food changed as you kids grew older
MEDiCa Well my mom was always pretty good at American food but sometimes it wasnrsquot all the way like she made American spaghetti but she put chicken in it it was good but my brother would always complain that it didnrsquot have meatballs Now he misses the chicken
LifEStyLES How many kids do you have in the family
MEDiCa i have an older brother and a younger sister irsquom the middle one We didnrsquot have a normal childhood in the sense that my mom was a hairstylist at home and on Saturday mornings customers would start arriving at 8 And she had one of those big old hair dryers

that you put over someonersquos head mdash we called it ldquoFidel Castrordquo mdash and yoursquod have these customers yelling at the top of their voice while they were under it So i never got to sleep in
LifEStyLES it sounds like your mother was quite a lady
MEDiCa i recently found some of her original recipes you know in her own handwriting One of them is for croquetta which was really good you take chicken with corned beef and grind them up bread it and then fry it itrsquos really goodrdquo
LifEStyLES Why do you like the flan so much
MEDiCa Because everyone in the family always requested it i make it a little different The way i make it it is a little more creamy because i use cream cheese itrsquos more like a custard Many times in Mexican restaurants the flan will be more jello-y This is almost like cheesecake
LifEStyLES is it strictly for dessert
MEDiCa yes itrsquos for special occasions
LifEStyLES Like birthdays and parties
MEDiCa yes itrsquos not light you canrsquot have too much or your stomach will start to ache
LifEStyLES Does it take a long time to prepare
MEDiCa Not really Making the caramel sauce takes the most time and you canrsquot take your eyes off it or it might burn
LifEStyLES Tastes like it didnrsquot burn
MEDiCa No i had lots of help My daughter Elizabeth (and she glances over at her youngest child) helped me a lot

The old Frenchtown schoolhouse built in 1915 with the stately bell tower still stands it has been a historic fixture in the Walla Walla valley that many of us have grown up with even if we never attended classes there One can still stride up the long sidewalk to the large heavy carved doors with a feeling of reverence and trepidation mdash as if it were the first day of school mdash while imagining generations of children playing on the manicured grounds
in the 1970s the old schoolhouse classrooms found themselves empty of childrenrsquos laughter But in 1983 Jean and Baker Ferguson breathed new life into the old building founding what would become one of the premier wineries in Washington LrsquoEcole No 41
The name was historically im-portant in two ways ldquoLrsquoEcolerdquo French for ldquothe schoolrdquo recognized the French men and women who settled the area and ldquo41rdquo was the numerical designation of the school district
The Fergusonsrsquo first crush of 1983 was resting in the barrel when the following year they asked their elementary school-aged family members to draw an image that would best reflect the new project
The $100 prize went to an 8-year-old cousin whose watercolor interpretation of the old schoolhouse became the template for a wine label it became an iconic label known to wine lovers around the world
in 1989 the second generation of the family Jean and Bakerrsquos daughter and son-
in-law Megan and Martin (Marty) Clubb became the new proprietors of the winery Marty became the general manager and winemaker and would lead the small artisan winery to new heights mdash it would eventually produce more than 30000 cases annually
At the same time the Washington state wine industry was booming and would soon become the nationrsquos second-largest wine producer The area would become one of the premium wine-producing regions in the United States
Marty also became a pioneer in the

Washington state wine industry as he became a founder and activist in many of the wine industryrsquos foundations and alliances The family-owned winery also partnered with some of the most prestigious vineyards in the state LrsquoEcole No 41 has been honored nine consecutive years by Wine amp Spirits magazine as ldquoWinery of the yearrdquo becoming the second Washington winery inducted into the Hall of Fame
There is a third-generation that has grown up around the winery and will eventually become caretakers of this legacy Meganrsquos and Martyrsquos children Jeanrsquos and Bakerrsquos grandchildren rebecca and riley Clubb had their own meaningful influence on the label with their childhood drawings on the labelrsquos chalkboard image
riley is a 2009 graduate of Whitman College and is employed at the winery rebecca is enrolled in Washington State Universityrsquos wine management program and expected to graduate in 2012
The winery will soon celebrate its 30th birthday The wines produced at the old schoolhouse are refined with true varietal character and can stand up against many coveted wines from France mdash and they have Now that LrsquoEcole is a top player in the world of wine the whimsical label on its bottles is no longer truly indicative of the sophisticated gold and dark-red liquids behind the glass
ldquoLooking to the future we wanted our label to reflect the winery we have becomerdquo says Marty Clubb
This year the winery will unveil a new label it will still depict the iconic schoolhouse but with deeper colors and a new texture There will be a distinct difference among the labels depending on the vineyards used Wines produced from Columbia valley vineyards will have a soft charcoal-colored background label and the labels for the wines produced from Walla Walla vineyards will be more sepia-toned
Another distinctive change will be the de-emphasizing of the ldquoNo 41rdquo as generations of wine lovers have often referred to the winery as ldquoLrsquoEcolerdquo
The new label will be a timeless reminder of the past as well as a welcome to future generations

it was 1954 the year he graduated from the University of Oregon and two female students from the university were interested in learning some of the finer points of the game
ldquoit was probably the worst lesson anybody has ever givenrdquo Mundle exclaimed shaking his head in dismay ldquoThese two young ladies were looking for some help and i worked with them for an hour-and-a-half And at the end of that time i said lsquoi have done such a poor job i will pay you for the time i have put you through this torturersquordquo

Painful as it was the lesson learned proved to be a career-launching moment for Mundle who dedicated himself to his trade and spent a lifetime in the golf business successfully working up and down the i-5 corridor as course operator teacher and player
Fifty-seven years after that first teaching debacle Mundle now 79 years old is retired and living in Walla Walla He and his wife Ann relocated here last summer determined to give up teaching golf and spend more time playing the game they both love
ldquoAfter all of these years of teaching i feel that this is the time to lay it asiderdquo Mundle said ldquoi will still do a little studying of the golf swing and methods and i will be involved with some of the other local professionals in some cracker-barrel sessions when they get together to discuss teaching methods problems and how to solve them
ldquoBut i really came here not to teach but to play some golfrdquo
That was the plan anyway before he was introduced to Walla Walla High School senior Jake Hanson who was looking for a little extra help with his game heading into his final year on the links as a Blue Devil
Terri Hanson Jakersquos mother was aware of Mundlersquos reputation as a teaching professional and heard through the grapevine he was living in Walla Walla
ldquoBeing the mom i am i called him one dayrdquo Terri remembered ldquoi told him that Jakersquos golf game was at a standstill i asked him to take a look at Jake and he agreed to come and meet us and get a feel for where Jake was at
ldquoHe did and before you knew it they were putting on our hardwood floors The next day they agreed to get together at Wine valley mdash they were there for four hours and it has been an amazing connection right from the beginning
ldquoAl is an amazing Christian man who is so well-respected in his fieldrdquo Terri added ldquoAnd he just demands respect irsquom seeing my son of 17 all of a sudden growing uprdquo
Mundle concedes he is intrigued by Hansonrsquos character and potential And
Under the watchful eye of Al Mundle Jake Hanson hits an iron shot

Hanson holds his new mentor in high esteem
ldquoirsquove learned a tremendous amountrdquo Hanson said ldquoHe has a way of getting through to me in a positive way He got through to me that i am so much better than i thought i could be He has more confidence in me than i have in myself
ldquoHe has one of the best golf swings i have ever seen and he is still working on his own gamerdquo
Mundle said Hanson reminds him of former University of Oregon player Ben Crane who now plays on the PGA Tour Crane has been playing professionally since 2007 and earned nearly $3 million on the tour in 2010
ldquoi was Benrsquos swing coach at Oregon and Jake is somewhat similarrdquo Mundle said ldquoBen worked harder than anybody on the whole golf team He would put in as much
time as three or four others combined and Jake is very much the same way Hersquos very dedicatedrdquo
However Mundle insists that helping Hanson with his game is a one-time situation
After playing just six rounds of golf last year Mundle is determined that he and Ann will spend a lot more time on the golf course as they get acquainted with their new hometown
ldquoThatrsquos an all-time lowrdquo he said of the six rounds played in 2010 ldquoMostly it was the move and all mdash a new house putting in lawn fencing shelving in the garage mdash all the little things of getting settled
ldquoBut this was a good move for us We love it here We enjoy the weather and the people you can walk down the street and people look you in the eye and say lsquoHellorsquo i love that friendlinessrdquo
Mundle grew up in Eugene and graduated from University High School in 1950 He knew he said from the time he was in the seventh grade he wanted to make golf his lifersquos work
ldquoyou might say that i had a little parental directionrdquo Mundle said ldquoMy dad went to the University of St Andrews in Scotland and he played golf at the St Andrews Old Course And my mother also played golfrdquo
After high school Mundle enrolled at the University of Oregon and played three years of varsity golf during an era when there was no such thing as a golf scholarship
ldquoThe only thing we ever received was a half-a-dozen golf balls if we went into a tournamentrdquo Mundle recalled ldquoWhen i went to the NCAA Championships in Texas my senior year i was given a new

Walla Walla LifestyLes 19
pair of golf shoes but that was itldquoWe bought all of our own gear mdash
clubs bags rain gear everything itrsquos a whole different ball game today They have everythingrdquo
At the end of his sophomore year at Oregon Mundle had it in his mind to ldquotest my golf on the PGA Tourrdquo he said But his father an English professor at the university discouraged him
ldquoHe said lsquoGet your education first then you can do whatever you wantrsquordquo Mundle said ldquoit was just as well i saved a lot of wear and tear mdash and money i was an Ok player but not of that caliberrdquo
Mundle still has fond memories of his collegiate playing career however
ldquoi played three years for the university mdash you werenrsquot allowed to play as freshmen mdash and Oregon always had fine golf teamsrdquo Mundle said ldquoit was mostly match
play then and i was there during the time that the school went seven straight years without losing a (team) dual matchrdquo
During his senior year Mundle qualified for the NCAA Championships in Houston From a field of about 160 players Mundle made it as far as the quarterfinal round
He graduated in 1954 with a degree in history which he said he never really used
ldquoMy dad was in the top one percent of his class at St Andrewsrdquo Mundle said ldquoMy mother was also in the top part of her class and my older brother Pete was in the top of his class And then i came alongrdquo
His first golf job was as an assistant pro at his home course the Laurelwood Golf Course a position he accepted shortly after graduating from UO This was when and where the infamous first golf lesson
occurredA two-year stint in the US Army took
Mundle away from his profession in 1955-56 But he managed to keep his golf game sharp as a member of the Fort knox golf team and in 1956 he was the runner-up in the Second Army tournament and he placed 13th in the All-Army tournament
Then it was back to the Willamette valley where he came into his own in the Portland area under head professionals Eddie Hogan at riverside Country Club and Bunny Mason at Columbia Edgewater
ldquoThose two people were very influential in my professional liferdquo Mundle said
ldquoEddie was a very fine teacher of the total golf operation and service was No 1 i learned how to run the pro shop how
Jake Hanson takes a few pointers on chipping from his instructor and mentor Al Mundle
Continued on pg 20 gt
20 Walla Walla LifestyLes
people ltcontinued from pg 19
to market and merchandise mdash everything from how to run the club service program to the electric cart program to basically running the golf course
ldquoBunny was also a very fine operator of a golf shop and i also learned a lot about teaching from Bunny Sometimes you go along in life and there are certain mentors who help you along the way Anybody who says they made it by themselves is not being honest with themselves We have all had someone who has given us a little boost along the wayrdquo
Mundle took his first head professional job in 1965 at Overlake Golf and Country Club in Bellevue where he remained until 1981 At that point he returned to Eugene and was the head pro at the Eugene Country Club for three years followed by a six-year stint at the Bear Creek Country Club in Seattle
He also spent a short time at a golf course in Cottage Grove Ore before moving back to Eugene for a third time in 1993 to become the director of golf instruction at the river ridge Golf Course He remained at river ridge until his retirement last summer During his time there he helped out as the swing coach at UO under then-head coach Steve Nosler
Through it all Mundle served as president of the Washington PGA and the Pacific Northwest PGA and was a member of several National PGA committees As a player he participated in the Oregon Washington and Pacific Northwest opens as well as the Washington and Oregon PGA events One of his highlights was winning the Oregon Senior PGA Match-Play Championships in Bend in 1993
ldquoi felt i had an obligation to participaterdquo Mundle said ldquoi played a lot of golf including many many pro-ams and i won a couple of assistant championshipsrdquo
in addition to Crane Mundle also helped shape the careers of Jeff Quinney and Eric Johnson both of whom are from the Eugene area
Quinney won the United States Amateur championship in 2000 and represented the US in the Walker Cup in 2001 He has appeared in 128 PGA Tour events since 2007 placing second twice and third twice
Johnson played several years on the Asian Tour and one on the Nationwide Tour He is now a head professional at a

course in San rafael CalifldquoAnd there have been some others mdash
Brian Henninger Mike Gove a few others mdash who have called and wanted to discus their swingrdquo Mundle said ldquoNothing on a regular basis just one or two sessionsrdquo
is Hanson his next mdash and perhaps his last mdash prodigy
Thatrsquos a tricky question since Hanson came to golf late after a budding baseball career was derailed by a shoulder injury He was a first-team all-Big Nine Conference golf selection as a junior but has yet to qualify for state and his summer resume is thin because of his baseball background
Hansonrsquos original plan was to attend Walla Walla Community College and play golf for the Warriors with the hope of earning an NCAA Division i scholarship But he has since decided to enroll in Arizona State Universityrsquos Professional Golf Management program and try out for the ASU golf team as a walk on
ldquoMore than anything i think it came down to him evaluating his goalsrdquo said Jakersquos father Gary Hanson ldquoitrsquos everyonersquos dream to play on the PGA Tour but realistically he wants to be a golf pro and teach He loves
the gamerdquoAnd a degree in the PGM program
will provide Jake with the educational background he needs to be successful in any form of business his father added
Though his chances of making the ASU varsity team seem unlikely the PGM program provides a club golf team that participates in a series of tournaments throughout the year and gives Hanson a second playing option
And keeping your options open is optimum at this point Mundle said
ldquoi think his driving force at this time mdash and also his folks mdash is to get his education And then he can do whatever he wants if he doesnrsquot go into (the golfing business) immediately he will always have it as a backuprdquo
Sounds an awful lot like the advice Thomas Mundle offered his son back in the spring of 1952 when Al Mundle wanted to leave school after his sophomore year and test his wings on the PGA Tour And as we now know all these years later staying in school worked out pretty well for Al

T H E A T R EPOWER HOUSE
My director Terry Edward Moore told me his only direction from the artistic director was that it be ldquoperiodrdquo that is to say authentic to the time
ldquoMerry Wivesrdquo is the only one of Shakespearersquos plays that is set in his own time so it was decided to present it as if the actors were people of the time doing what would be a contemporary (to the late 16th century) play
i started to research the clothing of the time how it was constructed and what kinds of fabrics were available at the time mdash linens homespuns woolens for the common people and silks damasks velvets and furs for the upper classes i discovered that Elizabethan society was strictly regulated in terms of social classes and upward mobility was a little-known concept Once a yeoman always a yeoman i also discovered the set of rules and regulations called ldquosumptuary lawsrdquo which specifically dictated what types of fabrics trims furs and even what colors each class was allowed to wear
Since there are three distinct classes represented in ldquoMerry Wivesrdquo mdash merchant class soldiers and servants mdash i tried to give each class its own color palette based on these laws The overall palette of the show is based on colors actually in use at the time
The availability of dyes was limited (except for the nobility) so the palette consists of many shades of yellows and browns russets black some greens and blue-grays and of course wheat-colored unbleached linen i turned to the Dutch painter Brueghel for inspiration on how the common people looked and dressed
i also researched what kinds of dyes were used and where they came from Dyes were created from all sorts of different things such as walnut shell crushed beetles and all kinds of roots i found a website that sells these authentic dyestuffs so irsquom using the real thing to dye some of the linen pieces and will coordinate the contemporary fabrics to these authentic colors
Nearly every piece will need something done to it mdash altered in some way to fit the actor re-trimmed rigged invisibly for quick changes etc mdash so there is a lot of labor involved Also hats were a hugely important part of Elizabethan fashion all the way down to the poorest serf
Certain styles of hats were often associated with certain professions mdash eg doctors scholars mdash so there are a number of hats to build as well as headpieces for the women No self-respecting woman went about with her head uncovered
Putting together a show like this is like putting together a giant jigsaw puzzle and the pieces are the costumes that irsquove borrowed and rented from other theater companies in the Seattle area such as Seattle repertory Seattle Opera and the University of Washington as well as pieces from Oregon Shakespeare Festival i design the show and then go out into the world and try to find pieces that approximate my designs and palette as closely as possible (usually with some reworking first) The pieces that i cant find and dont want to compromise on i build from scratch

But thatrsquos exactly what longtime Walla Walla resident Larry Adams did for four years He was one of a select group of pilots for Marine One the helicopter counterpart of the presidential airplane Air Force One from 1970 to 1974

Long before Adams became the Walla Walla Airport manager he was transporting heads of state foreign dignitaries famous (and now infamous) Cabinet members the executive staff and President richard M Nixon during one of the nationrsquos most turbulent times the withdrawal from vietnam and the Watergate scandal
But to Adams a native of Northern idaho all that swirled around the Nixon presidency was the least of his concerns His job was to transport the president safely to Andrews Air Force Base or Camp David or fly any short flight required Safety always at a premium End of story
Many times Adams ferried President Nixon and his staff on short flights far away from home Air Force One might fly President Nixon to a summit or a meeting with a foreign head of state but Marine One and Adams were always nearby to shuttle the chief executive on short flights or to whisk him away from sudden danger
Pretty heady stuff for a fourth-grade teacher who had never thought about flying until a Marine recruiter offered him the opportunity Although Adams had watched planes take off and land at a nearby air base as a child he had never given serious thought to flying it was more a need for a bigger paycheck than passion that brought Adams to his destiny
He liked teaching but it just wasnrsquot paying the bills So Adams turned to the military and the Gi Bill After being unimpressed by other recruiters Adams took a liking to the fellow from the Marines for as Adams recalls the recruiter took an interest in him After about an hour of talking the recruiter suggested Adams might have the potential to be a pilot
Having easily passed some preliminary tests Adams was sent to flight school in Pensacola Fla and a stellar career was ready to take off He performed well in all the aircraft he piloted but he showed a special skill for helicopters
Up until 1965 fixed-wing airplanes were the staple of all military air combat But the military had been gearing up for a big change The helicopter was to become a major part of combat The Pentagon had been developing helicopters that would do much more than transport troops to bases Now they would assist in bombing
raids ground attacks and the evacuation of the injured from the point of combat This new breed of helicopters would also possess the ability to fight back and not be lame ducks as before the new H34 would tote machine guns on each side
These cutting-edge aircraft would travel at unprecedented speeds with newly discovered agility Gifted pilots were needed not those who merely possessed superior technical skills but those who also had the composure to fly straight into
enemy fire in the dead of night picking up injured soldiers or aiding air attacks
Adams was one of those pilots and he would be one of two squadron leaders for ldquoOperation Starliterdquo mdash the first major assault using helicopters The Marines were going straight into a North vietnamese regimental stronghold No one knew what to expect
ldquoWe lost a lot that first time inrdquo says Adams ldquoTwo crew chiefs were killed
Continued on pg 32 gt
In this newspaper clipping Larry Adams poses on the steps of the helicopter dubbed Marine One which he piloted for President Richard M Nixon

people ltcontinued from pg 31
four pilots were medevaced out because of their wounds i donrsquot think there was one helicopter that didnrsquot have a bunch of holes in it The one i flew in we got a lot of rounds in it Amazingly no one was hurt but when we got back the helicopter was so shot-up you couldnrsquot fly it anymore We lost 50 percent of our helicopters that dayrdquo
in the next 13 months Adams would fly many more missions often heading straight into anti-aircraft fire to pick up injured or killed soldiers He says he would see the flares signifying where the copter was supposed to land but frequently hersquod have to veer off because ground communication would say ldquoThe artillery is too hotrdquo Then there would be a window maybe two minutes maybe five when the helicopter could drop in and pick up the injured often being shot at as it waited for its passengers
Adams knew the best way to survive was to keep his focus ldquoin the daylight when you start your run in and yoursquore getting shot at Everything went to black and white for me i didnrsquot notice the green trees or the green rice paddies until we got out of there and then it would come back
to me i donrsquot know what that was i just didnrsquot see the colors irsquove talked to some other pilots and they described the same thingrdquo
in his two tours of duty in vietnam Adams would fly 880 combat missions in several types of helicopters and fixed-wing airplanes He received numerous medals including two Navy commendations for performance under combat conditions
Then the call came to fly for the president Before Adams could tote the commander in chief around in Marine One a thorough background check had to be done So thorough was the check that Adams said a friend from his hometown sent him a card that read ldquoAre you in some kind of trouble Jesus therersquos been a bunch of people around here with the dark grey suits and the skinny little ties Theyrsquore asking all these embarrassing questions about you like did you have drinking problem Did you have a gambling problem Do you know what Larryrsquos sexual preference wasrdquo
Adams chuckles ldquoit was pretty funnyrdquoAdams passed the grade and soon
he was flying President Nixon and his family to Camp David or picking up vice
President Spiro Agnew at the Pentagon or taking Secretary of State Henry kissinger or Secretary of Defense Alexander Haig to a classified meeting Although his flights varied from transporting foreign heads of state to flying members of the press the majority involved the president the vice president kissinger and Haig
The pilots did not speak to their travelers unless spoken to says Adams President Nixon usually looked in and asked them how they were kissinger never spoke Haig was good for a pat on the shoulder now and then but it was Agnew who conversed the most says Adams
Adams remembers ldquoOne time we picked him up at the Pentagon and we had taken off and had hit top altitude He usually would come up and look into the cockpit but this time he patted me on the shoulder and asked lsquoWell howrsquos it going today guysrsquordquo Adams replied ldquoNot bad sir and how about yourselfrdquo
Agnew answered ldquoMan they are really after my assrdquo He was talking about the press Adams says ldquoTwo weeks later he resignedrdquo
Adams recalls that his encounters with Agnew as defying the public perception
Adams far right gives instructions before a mission in Vietnam
Walla Walla LifestyLes 33
that Agnew was arrogant ldquoHe was always one of the nicest guys He was straightforward He looked like he had just stepped off the cover of Gentlemenrsquos Quarterly all the time He was very proper in the way he dressed but he had a sense of humor as wellrdquo
There were other humorous moments Adams recalls a certain reporter from CBS who had been a major thorn in President Nixonrsquos side was late for takeoff from the South Lawn of the White House one morning Just as Marine One was about to leave without him he came running across the lawn hollering and waving his arms The Secret Service agent supervising the flight told Adams to ldquojust gordquo The wind from the propellers whipped the reporterrsquos toupee right off his head and instead of continuing his run toward Marine One he reversed his field and tried feverishly to retrieve his toupee snagged in the hedges
ldquoEveryone got a pretty good chuckle out of thatrdquo
Of course there were somber times At one point Adams flew Cabinet members John Ehrlichman and Hr Haldeman to Camp David for a meeting with the president After only 15 minutes the two men returned and Marine One headed home Adams says it was a quiet flight He found out later the two men had been fired by President Nixon for their parts in the Watergate scandal
Whisking the president away from danger was a major part of being a pilot of Marine One Stationed across the river from the Capitol pilots awakened by an emergency alert had to be up in the air in five minutes This exercise was practiced often though never needed during Adamsrsquo tenure
One night however they thought it was The operator at the White House mistakenly hit the ldquoAlertrdquo button Marine One was in the air in five minutes
Although ground control had not spotted any enemy aircraft the operation was under way As Marine One closed in on the White House the operator at fault tried to alert everyone of his mistake but unfortunately used a poor choice of words to call off the operation
Adams chuckles as he says ldquoThe fella said lsquoThis is not an exercisersquo He was moved to another post i thinkrdquo
All levity aside the position required
the same kind of focus demanded of Adams in vietnam though it came in a different form
ldquoThere were three things the way you operated the aircraft and they were in this order safety comfort and speed Safety never gave in to comfort or speedrdquo says Adams ldquoOur job was just concentrating on doing our job it could have been anybody mdash we would do it the same way it could have been Fred Flintstone
ldquoThe difference between flying for the White House and in vietnam was we were flying a premier aircraft We had to keep it impeccably clean everything was scripted We had to have the lsquoopen-the-door timersquo down to two to four seconds in vietnam it was the stress of performing medevacs under fire or dropping troops under heavy artillery For Marine One it was the stress of doing the job rightrdquo
Also the stress of being away from onersquos family 200 days of the year wore on a Marine One pilot in 1974 after four years on the job the toll became too much and Adams stepped down
He would stay with the Marines for eight more years retiring in August 1982
By then he had received 44 Air Medals including the Joint Service Commendation and the Presidential Service Badge in his 20 years of service Adams flew seven different helicopters and five different fixed-wing planes
What makes an elite military pilot ldquoPilots who donrsquot have any misgivingsrdquo says Adams ldquoTheyrsquore totally prepared they know their aircraftrdquo
When talking about his colleagues on Marine One he adds ldquoNone were boasters They might brag about a great landing but they did not brag in spite of someone elserdquo
What did Adams love most about his flying days ldquoi enjoyed flying with the latest technology and the pristine quality of Marine One i loved the process of building my skills i could have flown another 40 years and i would still be learning thingsrdquo
is it any surprise his favorite hobby now is fly fishing

it is astonishing in many ways mdash that we are presented with two weeks of top-drawer music performed by top-drawer musi-cians that there are so many ways to encounter the music (many of them free) and that a rural community has provided the incu-
bator for such a cultural undertaking to name but a fewGranted we are not your average rural community having two
colleges a university a symphony a choral society a community band and music in the schools but letrsquos face it wersquore not exactly a cosmopolitan center of culture like New york either The Cham-ber Music Festival mdash and our continued support of it through some tough times mdash puts us in a category all our own

worked hard to start this event and to my great joy it has taken on an iden-tity of its own i hire the musicians and choose the music but the town its people and its environs make the festivalrdquo
The beauty of chamber music is its intimacy mdash smaller ensembles performing for smaller audiences it has been referred to as ldquothe music of friendsrdquo which seems so apt at this festival Free open rehearsals are held around town that provide not only a musical atmosphere in which to enjoy a latte or the ambiance of the kirkman House but which give a richer look into the machinations of a working ensemble
As one enthusiastic fan puts it ldquoi am not a musician and itrsquos fascinat-ing to watch these rehearsals to see the interactions of the musicians as they work out the snags make wry remarks and relate to each other in a whole different way than during a for-mal performance i get a glimpse into their personalities and what makes them tickrdquo
The festival supplies a generous of-fering of venues with free concerts for children and families relaxed evening programs at wineries and full concerts at the Foundry Chism Hall and Day-tonrsquos Liberty Theater
if you are lucky enough to live near the musiciansrsquo lodgings while they are in town you may also be treated to an ad hoc front-porch concert as the ensembles continue their rehearsals in more private settings The festival is about all of these ways mdash planned and accidental mdash to experience the enchantment of chamber music
it is also about historic continuity and the connection between past and present mdash relishing the existing canon while expanding the genre with con-temporary forms and voices
How is this accomplished in part by the annual commission of a new piece of music for the festival Chris-tie is committed to contributing to the broader chamber music repertoire and to providing the audience with the richest possible experience

ldquoFor classical music to be relevant there must be a conversation between the music of our time and the music of the pastrdquo he says
By commissioning a work for the festi-val each year Christie creates such a con-versation
This year the commission was given to John David Earnest Four festival commis-sions have preceded his and he is the sec-ond ldquolocalrdquo composer to be tapped add-ing another layer of relationship between community and event (in 2009 Whitman College professor David Glenn was given the nod)
As visiting adjunct professor of music at Whitman Earnest resides here for six weeks every semester His ldquoSecond Sym-phonyrdquo was written for and performed by the Walla Walla Symphony in October 2001
The challenge for the yearly commis-sionee is to compose a piece on demand within specific constraints of time place and instrumentation while expressing hisher own voice as an artist
Earnest has created ldquoCommedia Gal-leryrdquo a set of three movements for flute
viola and harp based on stock characters from the Commedia dellrsquoArte a popu-lar theatrical form that was influential in Europe for over 300 years Commedia characters improvised dialogue around set scenarios generally involving the struggles of young lovers to overcome hindrances to their romance and each character even-tually came to have a consistent set of at-tributes in speech mannerisms and cos-tume
Earnestrsquos ldquoGalleryrdquo gives us Arlecchi-no (Harlequin) an acrobatic and devious jester Pierrot the classic sad clown and finally Scaramouche a dandy and a brag-gart who is a coward at heart
in anticipation of this yearrsquos festival i am reminded of the scene in ldquoThe Music Manrdquo in which the town awaits the ar-rival of the Wells Fargo Wagon Potentially heaped with gifts and surprises it prom-ises connection to the larger world The WWCMF brings us all ldquosomethinrsquo specialrdquo mdash an enrichment of our community and our culture

Smith has gardened for years at his home at 38 Mulberry Court in College Place He used to grow vegetables and flowers now he is strictly focusing on flowers mdash with fabulous results roses delphiniums and lots of irises line the fence
ldquoirises mdash irsquove always enjoyed themrdquo he says ldquoThey take a little bit of weeding and watering but not much morerdquo itrsquos the gardenerrsquos dream mdash low maintenance with a big return
A retired orthopedic surgeon Smith has in the past gardened more extensively than he does now But he has enough plants to keep him busy His new project is planting more of the reblooming iris These are still hardy but you get twice the reward they bloom in the spring then again in the fall
ldquoTheyrsquore easy to grow and spectacular for a short time iris take less care than a lot of thingsrdquo Smith says
His secret for gardening is simple and therersquos no getting around it ldquoTime and workrdquo he laughs
Hersquos getting ready to start in the garden ldquoi need to clean out the leaves and the old foliage of the irisrdquo
in addition to the basic cleaning and maintenance Smith just decides how many plants to keep Bulb flowers are hardy and they multiply on their own
ldquoAfter five years you usually have to separate the bulbs when they get too thick i donrsquot have room to add more i put in the new re-blooming onesrdquo he explains ldquoi may add more and a few other thingsrdquo
But in a garden you can always try something new or rearrange existing plants often with a spectacular outcome

itrsquos an odd location since it can only be seen as yoursquore leaving town but it always makes me smile This valley my adopted home is indeed a great place to be
i recently finished reading the great Western writer Wallace Stegnerrsquos book ldquoThe Sound of Mountain Waterrdquo One of his essays traces his nomadic childhood which left him feeling rootless and without a place that he felt he could call home
i identify with his feeling of not belonging i was born to a single woman from Massachusetts in a New york City hospital i stayed a scant few days before being placed with an adoption agency Born in a place i had no familial connection to i was immediately deprived of my biological family Most of my childhood was spent in suburban Cleveland Ohio Moves to upstate New york New England and Pennsylvania brought me no closer to calling any place home i loved living in the western Massachusetts town of Stockbridge but the multigenerational denizens of the town left few openings for newcomers like me i lived in central Pennsylvania for several decades but felt detached from the deep roots that most people had in the area
When we came west (for my husband a homecoming to his Oregon roots for me a new experience) i noticed that even in long-established towns like Walla Walla there is ample room for newcomers who want to be
part of the community And most folks who choose to come here donrsquot seem to want to change the valley they prefer to embrace it
While the occasional newbie whines about the lack of Whole Foods or Nordstrom they soon discover our farmers markets the wide variety of local shops and boutiques and our world-class restaurants They fall in love with our charming downtowns the small-town friendliness of the people and our kid-friendly environment Then therersquos the holiday parade the fair the ever-present Blue Mountains the parks the museums the wineries mdash really whatrsquos not to like The communities of our valley represent America at its best
irsquom a newspaper junkie i love to read everything from news to sports to classifieds mdash even the obituaries The obits are a fascinating window on our valley Many of the people chronicled were born here some lived all their lives here inextricably bound to this place But a number of people came here from other places often far away and have made a mark on our area Which makes me wonder mdash is a place any less of a hometown because you choose it or is it based primarily on the happenstance of your birth it seems that therersquos room for both paths to calling this wonderful valley home
itrsquos also our strength because collectively as a community we bring both deep familial and cultural traditions as well as the fresh perspective of newcomers to our area irsquom glad mdash after decades of searching mdash that i finally found my hometown a place that feels just right

Play is important in Walla Walla the play will truly be the thing when Shakespeare Walla Walla presents ldquoThe Merry Wives of Windsorrdquo at the newly restored Power House Theatre this month Lifestyles is teaming up with SWW for an inaugural event that will offer guests food fashion and merriment in the Elizabethan manner May 18 Check out our cover spread for a preview of the event
Winston Churchill may have described golf best when he said it ldquois a game whose aim is to hit a very small ball into an even smaller hole with weapons singularly ill-designed for the purposerdquo
So if you are going to pursue the sport it makes sense to get the best coaching possible Al Mundle who spent 57 years helping others improve their games thought he had put tinkering with other peoplersquos grip stance and swing away for good But that was before Terri Hanson convinced him to offer some pointers to her son Jake who was heading into his final year on the links for the Walla Walla High School Blue Devils
Jim Buchan shows you how this relationship has worked
Work to a lot of people can be repetitious drudgery Larry Adams never had that problem Whether he was flying into enemy fire in vietnam or piloting a helicopter for the president each day challenged his skills and preparation Adams recounts some of those adventures for Lifestyles
Skill and preparation are necessary ingredients for cooking Gina Medica tells how she learned to make culinary creations from Cuba Her specialty is a flan dessert
Dr Donald Smithrsquos specialty is creating an eye-catching garden of colorful flowers The iris is a primary element of his palette Check out his creations in Secret Gardens
Columnist Catie Mcintyre Walker explains how the original palette for the LrsquoEcole No 41 wine labels came from a childrsquos watercolor As the winery has matured it has decided it was time to update the labels

Born in Miami and then raised in Central Los Angeles by her Cuban-born parents Medica learned her craft by observing her mother work in the kitchen Of all Medicarsquos culinary creations it is her Cuban flan dessert that receives the most requests
ldquoEveryone in the family would always request it especially my nieces and nephewrdquo Medica says sitting at her dining room table the freshly presented flan resting in front of her ldquoMy bro can easily eat half of itrdquo
And the flan does not remain uneaten for long as i sit down with the Walla Walla businesswoman and her daughter Elizabeth to discuss and taste this delicacy Minutes after we begin our conversation nephew Nick arrives and quickly wolfs down two servings
irsquove already finished my first and am working on my second when we begin our conversation
LifEStyLES With both of your parents being Havana natives did you eat Cuban food exclusively
MEDiCa No but in the early days Thanksgiving was pretty different My mom would fix the turkey but shersquod serve it with black beans and white rice Wersquod be ldquoAh mom canrsquot we have regular Thanksgiving food like mashed potatoes and yamsrdquo Those came later as we lived in the States longer
LifEStyLES So the food changed as you kids grew older
MEDiCa Well my mom was always pretty good at American food but sometimes it wasnrsquot all the way like she made American spaghetti but she put chicken in it it was good but my brother would always complain that it didnrsquot have meatballs Now he misses the chicken
LifEStyLES How many kids do you have in the family
MEDiCa i have an older brother and a younger sister irsquom the middle one We didnrsquot have a normal childhood in the sense that my mom was a hairstylist at home and on Saturday mornings customers would start arriving at 8 And she had one of those big old hair dryers

that you put over someonersquos head mdash we called it ldquoFidel Castrordquo mdash and yoursquod have these customers yelling at the top of their voice while they were under it So i never got to sleep in
LifEStyLES it sounds like your mother was quite a lady
MEDiCa i recently found some of her original recipes you know in her own handwriting One of them is for croquetta which was really good you take chicken with corned beef and grind them up bread it and then fry it itrsquos really goodrdquo
LifEStyLES Why do you like the flan so much
MEDiCa Because everyone in the family always requested it i make it a little different The way i make it it is a little more creamy because i use cream cheese itrsquos more like a custard Many times in Mexican restaurants the flan will be more jello-y This is almost like cheesecake
LifEStyLES is it strictly for dessert
MEDiCa yes itrsquos for special occasions
LifEStyLES Like birthdays and parties
MEDiCa yes itrsquos not light you canrsquot have too much or your stomach will start to ache
LifEStyLES Does it take a long time to prepare
MEDiCa Not really Making the caramel sauce takes the most time and you canrsquot take your eyes off it or it might burn
LifEStyLES Tastes like it didnrsquot burn
MEDiCa No i had lots of help My daughter Elizabeth (and she glances over at her youngest child) helped me a lot

The old Frenchtown schoolhouse built in 1915 with the stately bell tower still stands it has been a historic fixture in the Walla Walla valley that many of us have grown up with even if we never attended classes there One can still stride up the long sidewalk to the large heavy carved doors with a feeling of reverence and trepidation mdash as if it were the first day of school mdash while imagining generations of children playing on the manicured grounds
in the 1970s the old schoolhouse classrooms found themselves empty of childrenrsquos laughter But in 1983 Jean and Baker Ferguson breathed new life into the old building founding what would become one of the premier wineries in Washington LrsquoEcole No 41
The name was historically im-portant in two ways ldquoLrsquoEcolerdquo French for ldquothe schoolrdquo recognized the French men and women who settled the area and ldquo41rdquo was the numerical designation of the school district
The Fergusonsrsquo first crush of 1983 was resting in the barrel when the following year they asked their elementary school-aged family members to draw an image that would best reflect the new project
The $100 prize went to an 8-year-old cousin whose watercolor interpretation of the old schoolhouse became the template for a wine label it became an iconic label known to wine lovers around the world
in 1989 the second generation of the family Jean and Bakerrsquos daughter and son-
in-law Megan and Martin (Marty) Clubb became the new proprietors of the winery Marty became the general manager and winemaker and would lead the small artisan winery to new heights mdash it would eventually produce more than 30000 cases annually
At the same time the Washington state wine industry was booming and would soon become the nationrsquos second-largest wine producer The area would become one of the premium wine-producing regions in the United States
Marty also became a pioneer in the

Washington state wine industry as he became a founder and activist in many of the wine industryrsquos foundations and alliances The family-owned winery also partnered with some of the most prestigious vineyards in the state LrsquoEcole No 41 has been honored nine consecutive years by Wine amp Spirits magazine as ldquoWinery of the yearrdquo becoming the second Washington winery inducted into the Hall of Fame
There is a third-generation that has grown up around the winery and will eventually become caretakers of this legacy Meganrsquos and Martyrsquos children Jeanrsquos and Bakerrsquos grandchildren rebecca and riley Clubb had their own meaningful influence on the label with their childhood drawings on the labelrsquos chalkboard image
riley is a 2009 graduate of Whitman College and is employed at the winery rebecca is enrolled in Washington State Universityrsquos wine management program and expected to graduate in 2012
The winery will soon celebrate its 30th birthday The wines produced at the old schoolhouse are refined with true varietal character and can stand up against many coveted wines from France mdash and they have Now that LrsquoEcole is a top player in the world of wine the whimsical label on its bottles is no longer truly indicative of the sophisticated gold and dark-red liquids behind the glass
ldquoLooking to the future we wanted our label to reflect the winery we have becomerdquo says Marty Clubb
This year the winery will unveil a new label it will still depict the iconic schoolhouse but with deeper colors and a new texture There will be a distinct difference among the labels depending on the vineyards used Wines produced from Columbia valley vineyards will have a soft charcoal-colored background label and the labels for the wines produced from Walla Walla vineyards will be more sepia-toned
Another distinctive change will be the de-emphasizing of the ldquoNo 41rdquo as generations of wine lovers have often referred to the winery as ldquoLrsquoEcolerdquo
The new label will be a timeless reminder of the past as well as a welcome to future generations

it was 1954 the year he graduated from the University of Oregon and two female students from the university were interested in learning some of the finer points of the game
ldquoit was probably the worst lesson anybody has ever givenrdquo Mundle exclaimed shaking his head in dismay ldquoThese two young ladies were looking for some help and i worked with them for an hour-and-a-half And at the end of that time i said lsquoi have done such a poor job i will pay you for the time i have put you through this torturersquordquo

Painful as it was the lesson learned proved to be a career-launching moment for Mundle who dedicated himself to his trade and spent a lifetime in the golf business successfully working up and down the i-5 corridor as course operator teacher and player
Fifty-seven years after that first teaching debacle Mundle now 79 years old is retired and living in Walla Walla He and his wife Ann relocated here last summer determined to give up teaching golf and spend more time playing the game they both love
ldquoAfter all of these years of teaching i feel that this is the time to lay it asiderdquo Mundle said ldquoi will still do a little studying of the golf swing and methods and i will be involved with some of the other local professionals in some cracker-barrel sessions when they get together to discuss teaching methods problems and how to solve them
ldquoBut i really came here not to teach but to play some golfrdquo
That was the plan anyway before he was introduced to Walla Walla High School senior Jake Hanson who was looking for a little extra help with his game heading into his final year on the links as a Blue Devil
Terri Hanson Jakersquos mother was aware of Mundlersquos reputation as a teaching professional and heard through the grapevine he was living in Walla Walla
ldquoBeing the mom i am i called him one dayrdquo Terri remembered ldquoi told him that Jakersquos golf game was at a standstill i asked him to take a look at Jake and he agreed to come and meet us and get a feel for where Jake was at
ldquoHe did and before you knew it they were putting on our hardwood floors The next day they agreed to get together at Wine valley mdash they were there for four hours and it has been an amazing connection right from the beginning
ldquoAl is an amazing Christian man who is so well-respected in his fieldrdquo Terri added ldquoAnd he just demands respect irsquom seeing my son of 17 all of a sudden growing uprdquo
Mundle concedes he is intrigued by Hansonrsquos character and potential And

Hanson holds his new mentor in high esteem
ldquoirsquove learned a tremendous amountrdquo Hanson said ldquoHe has a way of getting through to me in a positive way He got through to me that i am so much better than i thought i could be He has more confidence in me than i have in myself
ldquoHe has one of the best golf swings i have ever seen and he is still working on his own gamerdquo
Mundle said Hanson reminds him of former University of Oregon player Ben Crane who now plays on the PGA Tour Crane has been playing professionally since 2007 and earned nearly $3 million on the tour in 2010
ldquoi was Benrsquos swing coach at Oregon and Jake is somewhat similarrdquo Mundle said ldquoBen worked harder than anybody on the whole golf team He would put in as much
time as three or four others combined and Jake is very much the same way Hersquos very dedicatedrdquo
However Mundle insists that helping Hanson with his game is a one-time situation
After playing just six rounds of golf last year Mundle is determined that he and Ann will spend a lot more time on the golf course as they get acquainted with their new hometown
ldquoThatrsquos an all-time lowrdquo he said of the six rounds played in 2010 ldquoMostly it was the move and all mdash a new house putting in lawn fencing shelving in the garage mdash all the little things of getting settled
ldquoBut this was a good move for us We love it here We enjoy the weather and the people you can walk down the street and people look you in the eye and say lsquoHellorsquo i love that friendlinessrdquo
Mundle grew up in Eugene and graduated from University High School in 1950 He knew he said from the time he was in the seventh grade he wanted to make golf his lifersquos work
ldquoyou might say that i had a little parental directionrdquo Mundle said ldquoMy dad went to the University of St Andrews in Scotland and he played golf at the St Andrews Old Course And my mother also played golfrdquo
After high school Mundle enrolled at the University of Oregon and played three years of varsity golf during an era when there was no such thing as a golf scholarship
ldquoThe only thing we ever received was a half-a-dozen golf balls if we went into a tournamentrdquo Mundle recalled ldquoWhen i went to the NCAA Championships in Texas my senior year i was given a new
people ltcontinued from pg 17
Walla Walla LifestyLes 19
pair of golf shoes but that was itldquoWe bought all of our own gear mdash
clubs bags rain gear everything itrsquos a whole different ball game today They have everythingrdquo
At the end of his sophomore year at Oregon Mundle had it in his mind to ldquotest my golf on the PGA Tourrdquo he said But his father an English professor at the university discouraged him
ldquoHe said lsquoGet your education first then you can do whatever you wantrsquordquo Mundle said ldquoit was just as well i saved a lot of wear and tear mdash and money i was an Ok player but not of that caliberrdquo
Mundle still has fond memories of his collegiate playing career however
ldquoi played three years for the university mdash you werenrsquot allowed to play as freshmen mdash and Oregon always had fine golf teamsrdquo Mundle said ldquoit was mostly match
play then and i was there during the time that the school went seven straight years without losing a (team) dual matchrdquo
During his senior year Mundle qualified for the NCAA Championships in Houston From a field of about 160 players Mundle made it as far as the quarterfinal round
He graduated in 1954 with a degree in history which he said he never really used
ldquoMy dad was in the top one percent of his class at St Andrewsrdquo Mundle said ldquoMy mother was also in the top part of her class and my older brother Pete was in the top of his class And then i came alongrdquo
His first golf job was as an assistant pro at his home course the Laurelwood Golf Course a position he accepted shortly after graduating from UO This was when and where the infamous first golf lesson
occurredA two-year stint in the US Army took
Mundle away from his profession in 1955-56 But he managed to keep his golf game sharp as a member of the Fort knox golf team and in 1956 he was the runner-up in the Second Army tournament and he placed 13th in the All-Army tournament
Then it was back to the Willamette valley where he came into his own in the Portland area under head professionals Eddie Hogan at riverside Country Club and Bunny Mason at Columbia Edgewater
ldquoThose two people were very influential in my professional liferdquo Mundle said
ldquoEddie was a very fine teacher of the total golf operation and service was No 1 i learned how to run the pro shop how
Jake Hanson takes a few pointers on chipping from his instructor and mentor Al Mundle

people ltcontinued from pg 19
to market and merchandise mdash everything from how to run the club service program to the electric cart program to basically running the golf course
ldquoBunny was also a very fine operator of a golf shop and i also learned a lot about teaching from Bunny Sometimes you go along in life and there are certain mentors who help you along the way Anybody who says they made it by themselves is not being honest with themselves We have all had someone who has given us a little boost along the wayrdquo
Mundle took his first head professional job in 1965 at Overlake Golf and Country Club in Bellevue where he remained until 1981 At that point he returned to Eugene and was the head pro at the Eugene Country Club for three years followed by a six-year stint at the Bear Creek Country Club in Seattle
He also spent a short time at a golf course in Cottage Grove Ore before moving back to Eugene for a third time in 1993 to become the director of golf instruction at the river ridge Golf Course He remained at river ridge until his retirement last summer During his time there he helped out as the swing coach at UO under then-head coach Steve Nosler
Through it all Mundle served as president of the Washington PGA and the Pacific Northwest PGA and was a member of several National PGA committees As a player he participated in the Oregon Washington and Pacific Northwest opens as well as the Washington and Oregon PGA events One of his highlights was winning the Oregon Senior PGA Match-Play Championships in Bend in 1993

course in San rafael CalifldquoAnd there have been some others mdash
Brian Henninger Mike Gove a few others mdash who have called and wanted to discus their swingrdquo Mundle said ldquoNothing on a regular basis just one or two sessionsrdquo
is Hanson his next mdash and perhaps his last mdash prodigy
Thatrsquos a tricky question since Hanson came to golf late after a budding baseball career was derailed by a shoulder injury He was a first-team all-Big Nine Conference golf selection as a junior but has yet to qualify for state and his summer resume is thin because of his baseball background
Hansonrsquos original plan was to attend Walla Walla Community College and play golf for the Warriors with the hope of earning an NCAA Division i scholarship But he has since decided to enroll in Arizona State Universityrsquos Professional Golf Management program and try out for the ASU golf team as a walk on
ldquoMore than anything i think it came down to him evaluating his goalsrdquo said Jakersquos father Gary Hanson ldquoitrsquos everyonersquos dream to play on the PGA Tour but realistically he wants to be a golf pro and teach He loves
the gamerdquoAnd a degree in the PGM program
will provide Jake with the educational background he needs to be successful in any form of business his father added
Though his chances of making the ASU varsity team seem unlikely the PGM program provides a club golf team that participates in a series of tournaments throughout the year and gives Hanson a second playing option
And keeping your options open is optimum at this point Mundle said
ldquoi think his driving force at this time mdash and also his folks mdash is to get his education And then he can do whatever he wants if he doesnrsquot go into (the golfing business) immediately he will always have it as a backuprdquo
Sounds an awful lot like the advice Thomas Mundle offered his son back in the spring of 1952 when Al Mundle wanted to leave school after his sophomore year and test his wings on the PGA Tour And as we now know all these years later staying in school worked out pretty well for Al

T H E A T R EPOWER HOUSE
My director Terry Edward Moore told me his only direction from the artistic director was that it be ldquoperiodrdquo that is to say authentic to the time
ldquoMerry Wivesrdquo is the only one of Shakespearersquos plays that is set in his own time so it was decided to present it as if the actors were people of the time doing what would be a contemporary (to the late 16th century) play
i started to research the clothing of the time how it was constructed and what kinds of fabrics were available at the time mdash linens homespuns woolens for the common people and silks damasks velvets and furs for the upper classes i discovered that Elizabethan society was strictly regulated in terms of social classes and upward mobility was a little-known concept Once a yeoman always a yeoman i also discovered the set of rules and regulations called ldquosumptuary lawsrdquo which specifically dictated what types of fabrics trims furs and even what colors each class was allowed to wear
Since there are three distinct classes represented in ldquoMerry Wivesrdquo mdash merchant class soldiers and servants mdash i tried to give each class its own color palette based on these laws The overall palette of the show is based on colors actually in use at the time
The availability of dyes was limited (except for the nobility) so the palette consists of many shades of yellows and browns russets black some greens and blue-grays and of course wheat-colored unbleached linen i turned to the Dutch painter Brueghel for inspiration on how the common people looked and dressed
i also researched what kinds of dyes were used and where they came from Dyes were created from all sorts of different things such as walnut shell crushed beetles and all kinds of roots i found a website that sells these authentic dyestuffs so irsquom using the real thing to dye some of the linen pieces and will coordinate the contemporary fabrics to these authentic colors
Nearly every piece will need something done to it mdash altered in some way to fit the actor re-trimmed rigged invisibly for quick changes etc mdash so there is a lot of labor involved Also hats were a hugely important part of Elizabethan fashion all the way down to the poorest serf
Certain styles of hats were often associated with certain professions mdash eg doctors scholars mdash so there are a number of hats to build as well as headpieces for the women No self-respecting woman went about with her head uncovered
Putting together a show like this is like putting together a giant jigsaw puzzle and the pieces are the costumes that irsquove borrowed and rented from other theater companies in the Seattle area such as Seattle repertory Seattle Opera and the University of Washington as well as pieces from Oregon Shakespeare Festival i design the show and then go out into the world and try to find pieces that approximate my designs and palette as closely as possible (usually with some reworking first) The pieces that i cant find and dont want to compromise on i build from scratch

But thatrsquos exactly what longtime Walla Walla resident Larry Adams did for four years He was one of a select group of pilots for Marine One the helicopter counterpart of the presidential airplane Air Force One from 1970 to 1974

Long before Adams became the Walla Walla Airport manager he was transporting heads of state foreign dignitaries famous (and now infamous) Cabinet members the executive staff and President richard M Nixon during one of the nationrsquos most turbulent times the withdrawal from vietnam and the Watergate scandal
But to Adams a native of Northern idaho all that swirled around the Nixon presidency was the least of his concerns His job was to transport the president safely to Andrews Air Force Base or Camp David or fly any short flight required Safety always at a premium End of story
Many times Adams ferried President Nixon and his staff on short flights far away from home Air Force One might fly President Nixon to a summit or a meeting with a foreign head of state but Marine One and Adams were always nearby to shuttle the chief executive on short flights or to whisk him away from sudden danger
Pretty heady stuff for a fourth-grade teacher who had never thought about flying until a Marine recruiter offered him the opportunity Although Adams had watched planes take off and land at a nearby air base as a child he had never given serious thought to flying it was more a need for a bigger paycheck than passion that brought Adams to his destiny
He liked teaching but it just wasnrsquot paying the bills So Adams turned to the military and the Gi Bill After being unimpressed by other recruiters Adams took a liking to the fellow from the Marines for as Adams recalls the recruiter took an interest in him After about an hour of talking the recruiter suggested Adams might have the potential to be a pilot
Having easily passed some preliminary tests Adams was sent to flight school in Pensacola Fla and a stellar career was ready to take off He performed well in all the aircraft he piloted but he showed a special skill for helicopters
Up until 1965 fixed-wing airplanes were the staple of all military air combat But the military had been gearing up for a big change The helicopter was to become a major part of combat The Pentagon had been developing helicopters that would do much more than transport troops to bases Now they would assist in bombing
raids ground attacks and the evacuation of the injured from the point of combat This new breed of helicopters would also possess the ability to fight back and not be lame ducks as before the new H34 would tote machine guns on each side
These cutting-edge aircraft would travel at unprecedented speeds with newly discovered agility Gifted pilots were needed not those who merely possessed superior technical skills but those who also had the composure to fly straight into
enemy fire in the dead of night picking up injured soldiers or aiding air attacks
Adams was one of those pilots and he would be one of two squadron leaders for ldquoOperation Starliterdquo mdash the first major assault using helicopters The Marines were going straight into a North vietnamese regimental stronghold No one knew what to expect
ldquoWe lost a lot that first time inrdquo says Adams ldquoTwo crew chiefs were killed
Continued on pg 32 gt
In this newspaper clipping Larry Adams poses on the steps of the helicopter dubbed Marine One which he piloted for President Richard M Nixon

people ltcontinued from pg 31
four pilots were medevaced out because of their wounds i donrsquot think there was one helicopter that didnrsquot have a bunch of holes in it The one i flew in we got a lot of rounds in it Amazingly no one was hurt but when we got back the helicopter was so shot-up you couldnrsquot fly it anymore We lost 50 percent of our helicopters that dayrdquo
in the next 13 months Adams would fly many more missions often heading straight into anti-aircraft fire to pick up injured or killed soldiers He says he would see the flares signifying where the copter was supposed to land but frequently hersquod have to veer off because ground communication would say ldquoThe artillery is too hotrdquo Then there would be a window maybe two minutes maybe five when the helicopter could drop in and pick up the injured often being shot at as it waited for its passengers
Adams knew the best way to survive was to keep his focus ldquoin the daylight when you start your run in and yoursquore getting shot at Everything went to black and white for me i didnrsquot notice the green trees or the green rice paddies until we got out of there and then it would come back
to me i donrsquot know what that was i just didnrsquot see the colors irsquove talked to some other pilots and they described the same thingrdquo
in his two tours of duty in vietnam Adams would fly 880 combat missions in several types of helicopters and fixed-wing airplanes He received numerous medals including two Navy commendations for performance under combat conditions
Then the call came to fly for the president Before Adams could tote the commander in chief around in Marine One a thorough background check had to be done So thorough was the check that Adams said a friend from his hometown sent him a card that read ldquoAre you in some kind of trouble Jesus therersquos been a bunch of people around here with the dark grey suits and the skinny little ties Theyrsquore asking all these embarrassing questions about you like did you have drinking problem Did you have a gambling problem Do you know what Larryrsquos sexual preference wasrdquo
Adams chuckles ldquoit was pretty funnyrdquoAdams passed the grade and soon
he was flying President Nixon and his family to Camp David or picking up vice
President Spiro Agnew at the Pentagon or taking Secretary of State Henry kissinger or Secretary of Defense Alexander Haig to a classified meeting Although his flights varied from transporting foreign heads of state to flying members of the press the majority involved the president the vice president kissinger and Haig
The pilots did not speak to their travelers unless spoken to says Adams President Nixon usually looked in and asked them how they were kissinger never spoke Haig was good for a pat on the shoulder now and then but it was Agnew who conversed the most says Adams
Adams remembers ldquoOne time we picked him up at the Pentagon and we had taken off and had hit top altitude He usually would come up and look into the cockpit but this time he patted me on the shoulder and asked lsquoWell howrsquos it going today guysrsquordquo Adams replied ldquoNot bad sir and how about yourselfrdquo
Agnew answered ldquoMan they are really after my assrdquo He was talking about the press Adams says ldquoTwo weeks later he resignedrdquo
Adams recalls that his encounters with Agnew as defying the public perception
Adams far right gives instructions before a mission in Vietnam
Walla Walla LifestyLes 33
that Agnew was arrogant ldquoHe was always one of the nicest guys He was straightforward He looked like he had just stepped off the cover of Gentlemenrsquos Quarterly all the time He was very proper in the way he dressed but he had a sense of humor as wellrdquo
There were other humorous moments Adams recalls a certain reporter from CBS who had been a major thorn in President Nixonrsquos side was late for takeoff from the South Lawn of the White House one morning Just as Marine One was about to leave without him he came running across the lawn hollering and waving his arms The Secret Service agent supervising the flight told Adams to ldquojust gordquo The wind from the propellers whipped the reporterrsquos toupee right off his head and instead of continuing his run toward Marine One he reversed his field and tried feverishly to retrieve his toupee snagged in the hedges
ldquoEveryone got a pretty good chuckle out of thatrdquo
Of course there were somber times At one point Adams flew Cabinet members John Ehrlichman and Hr Haldeman to Camp David for a meeting with the president After only 15 minutes the two men returned and Marine One headed home Adams says it was a quiet flight He found out later the two men had been fired by President Nixon for their parts in the Watergate scandal
Whisking the president away from danger was a major part of being a pilot of Marine One Stationed across the river from the Capitol pilots awakened by an emergency alert had to be up in the air in five minutes This exercise was practiced often though never needed during Adamsrsquo tenure
One night however they thought it was The operator at the White House mistakenly hit the ldquoAlertrdquo button Marine One was in the air in five minutes
Although ground control had not spotted any enemy aircraft the operation was under way As Marine One closed in on the White House the operator at fault tried to alert everyone of his mistake but unfortunately used a poor choice of words to call off the operation
Adams chuckles as he says ldquoThe fella said lsquoThis is not an exercisersquo He was moved to another post i thinkrdquo
All levity aside the position required
the same kind of focus demanded of Adams in vietnam though it came in a different form
ldquoThere were three things the way you operated the aircraft and they were in this order safety comfort and speed Safety never gave in to comfort or speedrdquo says Adams ldquoOur job was just concentrating on doing our job it could have been anybody mdash we would do it the same way it could have been Fred Flintstone
ldquoThe difference between flying for the White House and in vietnam was we were flying a premier aircraft We had to keep it impeccably clean everything was scripted We had to have the lsquoopen-the-door timersquo down to two to four seconds in vietnam it was the stress of performing medevacs under fire or dropping troops under heavy artillery For Marine One it was the stress of doing the job rightrdquo
Also the stress of being away from onersquos family 200 days of the year wore on a Marine One pilot in 1974 after four years on the job the toll became too much and Adams stepped down
He would stay with the Marines for eight more years retiring in August 1982
By then he had received 44 Air Medals including the Joint Service Commendation and the Presidential Service Badge in his 20 years of service Adams flew seven different helicopters and five different fixed-wing planes
What makes an elite military pilot ldquoPilots who donrsquot have any misgivingsrdquo says Adams ldquoTheyrsquore totally prepared they know their aircraftrdquo
When talking about his colleagues on Marine One he adds ldquoNone were boasters They might brag about a great landing but they did not brag in spite of someone elserdquo
What did Adams love most about his flying days ldquoi enjoyed flying with the latest technology and the pristine quality of Marine One i loved the process of building my skills i could have flown another 40 years and i would still be learning thingsrdquo
is it any surprise his favorite hobby now is fly fishing

it is astonishing in many ways mdash that we are presented with two weeks of top-drawer music performed by top-drawer musi-cians that there are so many ways to encounter the music (many of them free) and that a rural community has provided the incu-
bator for such a cultural undertaking to name but a fewGranted we are not your average rural community having two
colleges a university a symphony a choral society a community band and music in the schools but letrsquos face it wersquore not exactly a cosmopolitan center of culture like New york either The Cham-ber Music Festival mdash and our continued support of it through some tough times mdash puts us in a category all our own

worked hard to start this event and to my great joy it has taken on an iden-tity of its own i hire the musicians and choose the music but the town its people and its environs make the festivalrdquo
The beauty of chamber music is its intimacy mdash smaller ensembles performing for smaller audiences it has been referred to as ldquothe music of friendsrdquo which seems so apt at this festival Free open rehearsals are held around town that provide not only a musical atmosphere in which to enjoy a latte or the ambiance of the kirkman House but which give a richer look into the machinations of a working ensemble
As one enthusiastic fan puts it ldquoi am not a musician and itrsquos fascinat-ing to watch these rehearsals to see the interactions of the musicians as they work out the snags make wry remarks and relate to each other in a whole different way than during a for-mal performance i get a glimpse into their personalities and what makes them tickrdquo
The festival supplies a generous of-fering of venues with free concerts for children and families relaxed evening programs at wineries and full concerts at the Foundry Chism Hall and Day-tonrsquos Liberty Theater
if you are lucky enough to live near the musiciansrsquo lodgings while they are in town you may also be treated to an ad hoc front-porch concert as the ensembles continue their rehearsals in more private settings The festival is about all of these ways mdash planned and accidental mdash to experience the enchantment of chamber music
it is also about historic continuity and the connection between past and present mdash relishing the existing canon while expanding the genre with con-temporary forms and voices
How is this accomplished in part by the annual commission of a new piece of music for the festival Chris-tie is committed to contributing to the broader chamber music repertoire and to providing the audience with the richest possible experience

ldquoFor classical music to be relevant there must be a conversation between the music of our time and the music of the pastrdquo he says
By commissioning a work for the festi-val each year Christie creates such a con-versation
This year the commission was given to John David Earnest Four festival commis-sions have preceded his and he is the sec-ond ldquolocalrdquo composer to be tapped add-ing another layer of relationship between community and event (in 2009 Whitman College professor David Glenn was given the nod)
As visiting adjunct professor of music at Whitman Earnest resides here for six weeks every semester His ldquoSecond Sym-phonyrdquo was written for and performed by the Walla Walla Symphony in October 2001
The challenge for the yearly commis-sionee is to compose a piece on demand within specific constraints of time place and instrumentation while expressing hisher own voice as an artist
Earnest has created ldquoCommedia Gal-leryrdquo a set of three movements for flute
viola and harp based on stock characters from the Commedia dellrsquoArte a popu-lar theatrical form that was influential in Europe for over 300 years Commedia characters improvised dialogue around set scenarios generally involving the struggles of young lovers to overcome hindrances to their romance and each character even-tually came to have a consistent set of at-tributes in speech mannerisms and cos-tume
Earnestrsquos ldquoGalleryrdquo gives us Arlecchi-no (Harlequin) an acrobatic and devious jester Pierrot the classic sad clown and finally Scaramouche a dandy and a brag-gart who is a coward at heart
in anticipation of this yearrsquos festival i am reminded of the scene in ldquoThe Music Manrdquo in which the town awaits the ar-rival of the Wells Fargo Wagon Potentially heaped with gifts and surprises it prom-ises connection to the larger world The WWCMF brings us all ldquosomethinrsquo specialrdquo mdash an enrichment of our community and our culture

Smith has gardened for years at his home at 38 Mulberry Court in College Place He used to grow vegetables and flowers now he is strictly focusing on flowers mdash with fabulous results roses delphiniums and lots of irises line the fence
ldquoirises mdash irsquove always enjoyed themrdquo he says ldquoThey take a little bit of weeding and watering but not much morerdquo itrsquos the gardenerrsquos dream mdash low maintenance with a big return
A retired orthopedic surgeon Smith has in the past gardened more extensively than he does now But he has enough plants to keep him busy His new project is planting more of the reblooming iris These are still hardy but you get twice the reward they bloom in the spring then again in the fall
ldquoTheyrsquore easy to grow and spectacular for a short time iris take less care than a lot of thingsrdquo Smith says
His secret for gardening is simple and therersquos no getting around it ldquoTime and workrdquo he laughs
Hersquos getting ready to start in the garden ldquoi need to clean out the leaves and the old foliage of the irisrdquo
in addition to the basic cleaning and maintenance Smith just decides how many plants to keep Bulb flowers are hardy and they multiply on their own
ldquoAfter five years you usually have to separate the bulbs when they get too thick i donrsquot have room to add more i put in the new re-blooming onesrdquo he explains ldquoi may add more and a few other thingsrdquo
But in a garden you can always try something new or rearrange existing plants often with a spectacular outcome

itrsquos an odd location since it can only be seen as yoursquore leaving town but it always makes me smile This valley my adopted home is indeed a great place to be
i recently finished reading the great Western writer Wallace Stegnerrsquos book ldquoThe Sound of Mountain Waterrdquo One of his essays traces his nomadic childhood which left him feeling rootless and without a place that he felt he could call home
i identify with his feeling of not belonging i was born to a single woman from Massachusetts in a New york City hospital i stayed a scant few days before being placed with an adoption agency Born in a place i had no familial connection to i was immediately deprived of my biological family Most of my childhood was spent in suburban Cleveland Ohio Moves to upstate New york New England and Pennsylvania brought me no closer to calling any place home i loved living in the western Massachusetts town of Stockbridge but the multigenerational denizens of the town left few openings for newcomers like me i lived in central Pennsylvania for several decades but felt detached from the deep roots that most people had in the area
When we came west (for my husband a homecoming to his Oregon roots for me a new experience) i noticed that even in long-established towns like Walla Walla there is ample room for newcomers who want to be
part of the community And most folks who choose to come here donrsquot seem to want to change the valley they prefer to embrace it
While the occasional newbie whines about the lack of Whole Foods or Nordstrom they soon discover our farmers markets the wide variety of local shops and boutiques and our world-class restaurants They fall in love with our charming downtowns the small-town friendliness of the people and our kid-friendly environment Then therersquos the holiday parade the fair the ever-present Blue Mountains the parks the museums the wineries mdash really whatrsquos not to like The communities of our valley represent America at its best
irsquom a newspaper junkie i love to read everything from news to sports to classifieds mdash even the obituaries The obits are a fascinating window on our valley Many of the people chronicled were born here some lived all their lives here inextricably bound to this place But a number of people came here from other places often far away and have made a mark on our area Which makes me wonder mdash is a place any less of a hometown because you choose it or is it based primarily on the happenstance of your birth it seems that therersquos room for both paths to calling this wonderful valley home
itrsquos also our strength because collectively as a community we bring both deep familial and cultural traditions as well as the fresh perspective of newcomers to our area irsquom glad mdash after decades of searching mdash that i finally found my hometown a place that feels just right

Play is important in Walla Walla the play will truly be the thing when Shakespeare Walla Walla presents ldquoThe Merry Wives of Windsorrdquo at the newly restored Power House Theatre this month Lifestyles is teaming up with SWW for an inaugural event that will offer guests food fashion and merriment in the Elizabethan manner May 18 Check out our cover spread for a preview of the event
Winston Churchill may have described golf best when he said it ldquois a game whose aim is to hit a very small ball into an even smaller hole with weapons singularly ill-designed for the purposerdquo
So if you are going to pursue the sport it makes sense to get the best coaching possible Al Mundle who spent 57 years helping others improve their games thought he had put tinkering with other peoplersquos grip stance and swing away for good But that was before Terri Hanson convinced him to offer some pointers to her son Jake who was heading into his final year on the links for the Walla Walla High School Blue Devils
Jim Buchan shows you how this relationship has worked
Work to a lot of people can be repetitious drudgery Larry Adams never had that problem Whether he was flying into enemy fire in vietnam or piloting a helicopter for the president each day challenged his skills and preparation Adams recounts some of those adventures for Lifestyles
Skill and preparation are necessary ingredients for cooking Gina Medica tells how she learned to make culinary creations from Cuba Her specialty is a flan dessert

Born in Miami and then raised in Central Los Angeles by her Cuban-born parents Medica learned her craft by observing her mother work in the kitchen Of all Medicarsquos culinary creations it is her Cuban flan dessert that receives the most requests
ldquoEveryone in the family would always request it especially my nieces and nephewrdquo Medica says sitting at her dining room table the freshly presented flan resting in front of her ldquoMy bro can easily eat half of itrdquo
And the flan does not remain uneaten for long as i sit down with the Walla Walla businesswoman and her daughter Elizabeth to discuss and taste this delicacy Minutes after we begin our conversation nephew Nick arrives and quickly wolfs down two servings
irsquove already finished my first and am working on my second when we begin our conversation
LifEStyLES With both of your parents being Havana natives did you eat Cuban food exclusively
MEDiCa No but in the early days Thanksgiving was pretty different My mom would fix the turkey but shersquod serve it with black beans and white rice Wersquod be ldquoAh mom canrsquot we have regular Thanksgiving food like mashed potatoes and yamsrdquo Those came later as we lived in the States longer
LifEStyLES So the food changed as you kids grew older
MEDiCa Well my mom was always pretty good at American food but sometimes it wasnrsquot all the way like she made American spaghetti but she put chicken in it it was good but my brother would always complain that it didnrsquot have meatballs Now he misses the chicken
LifEStyLES How many kids do you have in the family
MEDiCa i have an older brother and a younger sister irsquom the middle one We didnrsquot have a normal childhood in the sense that my mom was a hairstylist at home and on Saturday mornings customers would start arriving at 8 And she had one of those big old hair dryers

that you put over someonersquos head mdash we called it ldquoFidel Castrordquo mdash and yoursquod have these customers yelling at the top of their voice while they were under it So i never got to sleep in
LifEStyLES it sounds like your mother was quite a lady
MEDiCa i recently found some of her original recipes you know in her own handwriting One of them is for croquetta which was really good you take chicken with corned beef and grind them up bread it and then fry it itrsquos really goodrdquo
LifEStyLES Why do you like the flan so much
MEDiCa Because everyone in the family always requested it i make it a little different The way i make it it is a little more creamy because i use cream cheese itrsquos more like a custard Many times in Mexican restaurants the flan will be more jello-y This is almost like cheesecake
LifEStyLES is it strictly for dessert
MEDiCa yes itrsquos for special occasions
LifEStyLES Like birthdays and parties
MEDiCa yes itrsquos not light you canrsquot have too much or your stomach will start to ache
LifEStyLES Does it take a long time to prepare
MEDiCa Not really Making the caramel sauce takes the most time and you canrsquot take your eyes off it or it might burn
LifEStyLES Tastes like it didnrsquot burn
MEDiCa No i had lots of help My daughter Elizabeth (and she glances over at her youngest child) helped me a lot

The old Frenchtown schoolhouse built in 1915 with the stately bell tower still stands it has been a historic fixture in the Walla Walla valley that many of us have grown up with even if we never attended classes there One can still stride up the long sidewalk to the large heavy carved doors with a feeling of reverence and trepidation mdash as if it were the first day of school mdash while imagining generations of children playing on the manicured grounds
in the 1970s the old schoolhouse classrooms found themselves empty of childrenrsquos laughter But in 1983 Jean and Baker Ferguson breathed new life into the old building founding what would become one of the premier wineries in Washington LrsquoEcole No 41
The name was historically im-portant in two ways ldquoLrsquoEcolerdquo French for ldquothe schoolrdquo recognized the French men and women who settled the area and ldquo41rdquo was the numerical designation of the school district
The Fergusonsrsquo first crush of 1983 was resting in the barrel when the following year they asked their elementary school-aged family members to draw an image that would best reflect the new project
The $100 prize went to an 8-year-old cousin whose watercolor interpretation of the old schoolhouse became the template for a wine label it became an iconic label known to wine lovers around the world
in 1989 the second generation of the family Jean and Bakerrsquos daughter and son-
in-law Megan and Martin (Marty) Clubb became the new proprietors of the winery Marty became the general manager and winemaker and would lead the small artisan winery to new heights mdash it would eventually produce more than 30000 cases annually
At the same time the Washington state wine industry was booming and would soon become the nationrsquos second-largest wine producer The area would become one of the premium wine-producing regions in the United States
Marty also became a pioneer in the

Washington state wine industry as he became a founder and activist in many of the wine industryrsquos foundations and alliances The family-owned winery also partnered with some of the most prestigious vineyards in the state LrsquoEcole No 41 has been honored nine consecutive years by Wine amp Spirits magazine as ldquoWinery of the yearrdquo becoming the second Washington winery inducted into the Hall of Fame
There is a third-generation that has grown up around the winery and will eventually become caretakers of this legacy Meganrsquos and Martyrsquos children Jeanrsquos and Bakerrsquos grandchildren rebecca and riley Clubb had their own meaningful influence on the label with their childhood drawings on the labelrsquos chalkboard image
riley is a 2009 graduate of Whitman College and is employed at the winery rebecca is enrolled in Washington State Universityrsquos wine management program and expected to graduate in 2012
The winery will soon celebrate its 30th birthday The wines produced at the old schoolhouse are refined with true varietal character and can stand up against many coveted wines from France mdash and they have Now that LrsquoEcole is a top player in the world of wine the whimsical label on its bottles is no longer truly indicative of the sophisticated gold and dark-red liquids behind the glass
ldquoLooking to the future we wanted our label to reflect the winery we have becomerdquo says Marty Clubb
This year the winery will unveil a new label it will still depict the iconic schoolhouse but with deeper colors and a new texture There will be a distinct difference among the labels depending on the vineyards used Wines produced from Columbia valley vineyards will have a soft charcoal-colored background label and the labels for the wines produced from Walla Walla vineyards will be more sepia-toned
Another distinctive change will be the de-emphasizing of the ldquoNo 41rdquo as generations of wine lovers have often referred to the winery as ldquoLrsquoEcolerdquo
The new label will be a timeless reminder of the past as well as a welcome to future generations

it was 1954 the year he graduated from the University of Oregon and two female students from the university were interested in learning some of the finer points of the game
ldquoit was probably the worst lesson anybody has ever givenrdquo Mundle exclaimed shaking his head in dismay ldquoThese two young ladies were looking for some help and i worked with them for an hour-and-a-half And at the end of that time i said lsquoi have done such a poor job i will pay you for the time i have put you through this torturersquordquo

Painful as it was the lesson learned proved to be a career-launching moment for Mundle who dedicated himself to his trade and spent a lifetime in the golf business successfully working up and down the i-5 corridor as course operator teacher and player
Fifty-seven years after that first teaching debacle Mundle now 79 years old is retired and living in Walla Walla He and his wife Ann relocated here last summer determined to give up teaching golf and spend more time playing the game they both love
ldquoAfter all of these years of teaching i feel that this is the time to lay it asiderdquo Mundle said ldquoi will still do a little studying of the golf swing and methods and i will be involved with some of the other local professionals in some cracker-barrel sessions when they get together to discuss teaching methods problems and how to solve them
ldquoBut i really came here not to teach but to play some golfrdquo
That was the plan anyway before he was introduced to Walla Walla High School senior Jake Hanson who was looking for a little extra help with his game heading into his final year on the links as a Blue Devil
Terri Hanson Jakersquos mother was aware of Mundlersquos reputation as a teaching professional and heard through the grapevine he was living in Walla Walla
ldquoBeing the mom i am i called him one dayrdquo Terri remembered ldquoi told him that Jakersquos golf game was at a standstill i asked him to take a look at Jake and he agreed to come and meet us and get a feel for where Jake was at
ldquoHe did and before you knew it they were putting on our hardwood floors The next day they agreed to get together at Wine valley mdash they were there for four hours and it has been an amazing connection right from the beginning
ldquoAl is an amazing Christian man who is so well-respected in his fieldrdquo Terri added ldquoAnd he just demands respect irsquom seeing my son of 17 all of a sudden growing uprdquo
Mundle concedes he is intrigued by Hansonrsquos character and potential And

Hanson holds his new mentor in high esteem
ldquoirsquove learned a tremendous amountrdquo Hanson said ldquoHe has a way of getting through to me in a positive way He got through to me that i am so much better than i thought i could be He has more confidence in me than i have in myself
ldquoHe has one of the best golf swings i have ever seen and he is still working on his own gamerdquo
Mundle said Hanson reminds him of former University of Oregon player Ben Crane who now plays on the PGA Tour Crane has been playing professionally since 2007 and earned nearly $3 million on the tour in 2010
ldquoi was Benrsquos swing coach at Oregon and Jake is somewhat similarrdquo Mundle said ldquoBen worked harder than anybody on the whole golf team He would put in as much
time as three or four others combined and Jake is very much the same way Hersquos very dedicatedrdquo
However Mundle insists that helping Hanson with his game is a one-time situation
After playing just six rounds of golf last year Mundle is determined that he and Ann will spend a lot more time on the golf course as they get acquainted with their new hometown
ldquoThatrsquos an all-time lowrdquo he said of the six rounds played in 2010 ldquoMostly it was the move and all mdash a new house putting in lawn fencing shelving in the garage mdash all the little things of getting settled
ldquoBut this was a good move for us We love it here We enjoy the weather and the people you can walk down the street and people look you in the eye and say lsquoHellorsquo i love that friendlinessrdquo
Mundle grew up in Eugene and graduated from University High School in 1950 He knew he said from the time he was in the seventh grade he wanted to make golf his lifersquos work
ldquoyou might say that i had a little parental directionrdquo Mundle said ldquoMy dad went to the University of St Andrews in Scotland and he played golf at the St Andrews Old Course And my mother also played golfrdquo
After high school Mundle enrolled at the University of Oregon and played three years of varsity golf during an era when there was no such thing as a golf scholarship
ldquoThe only thing we ever received was a half-a-dozen golf balls if we went into a tournamentrdquo Mundle recalled ldquoWhen i went to the NCAA Championships in Texas my senior year i was given a new
people ltcontinued from pg 17
Walla Walla LifestyLes 19
pair of golf shoes but that was itldquoWe bought all of our own gear mdash
clubs bags rain gear everything itrsquos a whole different ball game today They have everythingrdquo
At the end of his sophomore year at Oregon Mundle had it in his mind to ldquotest my golf on the PGA Tourrdquo he said But his father an English professor at the university discouraged him
ldquoHe said lsquoGet your education first then you can do whatever you wantrsquordquo Mundle said ldquoit was just as well i saved a lot of wear and tear mdash and money i was an Ok player but not of that caliberrdquo
Mundle still has fond memories of his collegiate playing career however
ldquoi played three years for the university mdash you werenrsquot allowed to play as freshmen mdash and Oregon always had fine golf teamsrdquo Mundle said ldquoit was mostly match
play then and i was there during the time that the school went seven straight years without losing a (team) dual matchrdquo
During his senior year Mundle qualified for the NCAA Championships in Houston From a field of about 160 players Mundle made it as far as the quarterfinal round
He graduated in 1954 with a degree in history which he said he never really used
ldquoMy dad was in the top one percent of his class at St Andrewsrdquo Mundle said ldquoMy mother was also in the top part of her class and my older brother Pete was in the top of his class And then i came alongrdquo
His first golf job was as an assistant pro at his home course the Laurelwood Golf Course a position he accepted shortly after graduating from UO This was when and where the infamous first golf lesson
occurredA two-year stint in the US Army took
Mundle away from his profession in 1955-56 But he managed to keep his golf game sharp as a member of the Fort knox golf team and in 1956 he was the runner-up in the Second Army tournament and he placed 13th in the All-Army tournament
Then it was back to the Willamette valley where he came into his own in the Portland area under head professionals Eddie Hogan at riverside Country Club and Bunny Mason at Columbia Edgewater
ldquoThose two people were very influential in my professional liferdquo Mundle said
ldquoEddie was a very fine teacher of the total golf operation and service was No 1 i learned how to run the pro shop how

people ltcontinued from pg 19
to market and merchandise mdash everything from how to run the club service program to the electric cart program to basically running the golf course
ldquoBunny was also a very fine operator of a golf shop and i also learned a lot about teaching from Bunny Sometimes you go along in life and there are certain mentors who help you along the way Anybody who says they made it by themselves is not being honest with themselves We have all had someone who has given us a little boost along the wayrdquo
Mundle took his first head professional job in 1965 at Overlake Golf and Country Club in Bellevue where he remained until 1981 At that point he returned to Eugene and was the head pro at the Eugene Country Club for three years followed by a six-year stint at the Bear Creek Country Club in Seattle
He also spent a short time at a golf course in Cottage Grove Ore before moving back to Eugene for a third time in 1993 to become the director of golf instruction at the river ridge Golf Course He remained at river ridge until his retirement last summer During his time there he helped out as the swing coach at UO under then-head coach Steve Nosler
Through it all Mundle served as president of the Washington PGA and the Pacific Northwest PGA and was a member of several National PGA committees As a player he participated in the Oregon Washington and Pacific Northwest opens as well as the Washington and Oregon PGA events One of his highlights was winning the Oregon Senior PGA Match-Play Championships in Bend in 1993
ldquoi felt i had an obligation to participaterdquo Mundle said ldquoi played a lot of golf including many many pro-ams and i won a couple of assistant championshipsrdquo
in addition to Crane Mundle also helped shape the careers of Jeff Quinney and Eric Johnson both of whom are from the Eugene area
Quinney won the United States Amateur championship in 2000 and represented the US in the Walker Cup in 2001 He has appeared in 128 PGA Tour events since 2007 placing second twice and third twice
Johnson played several years on the Asian Tour and one on the Nationwide Tour He is now a head professional at a

course in San rafael CalifldquoAnd there have been some others mdash
Brian Henninger Mike Gove a few others mdash who have called and wanted to discus their swingrdquo Mundle said ldquoNothing on a regular basis just one or two sessionsrdquo
is Hanson his next mdash and perhaps his last mdash prodigy
Thatrsquos a tricky question since Hanson came to golf late after a budding baseball career was derailed by a shoulder injury He was a first-team all-Big Nine Conference golf selection as a junior but has yet to qualify for state and his summer resume is thin because of his baseball background
Hansonrsquos original plan was to attend Walla Walla Community College and play golf for the Warriors with the hope of earning an NCAA Division i scholarship But he has since decided to enroll in Arizona State Universityrsquos Professional Golf Management program and try out for the ASU golf team as a walk on
ldquoMore than anything i think it came down to him evaluating his goalsrdquo said Jakersquos father Gary Hanson ldquoitrsquos everyonersquos dream to play on the PGA Tour but realistically he wants to be a golf pro and teach He loves
the gamerdquoAnd a degree in the PGM program
will provide Jake with the educational background he needs to be successful in any form of business his father added
Though his chances of making the ASU varsity team seem unlikely the PGM program provides a club golf team that participates in a series of tournaments throughout the year and gives Hanson a second playing option
And keeping your options open is optimum at this point Mundle said
ldquoi think his driving force at this time mdash and also his folks mdash is to get his education And then he can do whatever he wants if he doesnrsquot go into (the golfing business) immediately he will always have it as a backuprdquo
Sounds an awful lot like the advice Thomas Mundle offered his son back in the spring of 1952 when Al Mundle wanted to leave school after his sophomore year and test his wings on the PGA Tour And as we now know all these years later staying in school worked out pretty well for Al

T H E A T R EPOWER HOUSE
My director Terry Edward Moore told me his only direction from the artistic director was that it be ldquoperiodrdquo that is to say authentic to the time
ldquoMerry Wivesrdquo is the only one of Shakespearersquos plays that is set in his own time so it was decided to present it as if the actors were people of the time doing what would be a contemporary (to the late 16th century) play
i started to research the clothing of the time how it was constructed and what kinds of fabrics were available at the time mdash linens homespuns woolens for the common people and silks damasks velvets and furs for the upper classes i discovered that Elizabethan society was strictly regulated in terms of social classes and upward mobility was a little-known concept Once a yeoman always a yeoman i also discovered the set of rules and regulations called ldquosumptuary lawsrdquo which specifically dictated what types of fabrics trims furs and even what colors each class was allowed to wear
Since there are three distinct classes represented in ldquoMerry Wivesrdquo mdash merchant class soldiers and servants mdash i tried to give each class its own color palette based on these laws The overall palette of the show is based on colors actually in use at the time
The availability of dyes was limited (except for the nobility) so the palette consists of many shades of yellows and browns russets black some greens and blue-grays and of course wheat-colored unbleached linen i turned to the Dutch painter Brueghel for inspiration on how the common people looked and dressed
i also researched what kinds of dyes were used and where they came from Dyes were created from all sorts of different things such as walnut shell crushed beetles and all kinds of roots i found a website that sells these authentic dyestuffs so irsquom using the real thing to dye some of the linen pieces and will coordinate the contemporary fabrics to these authentic colors
Nearly every piece will need something done to it mdash altered in some way to fit the actor re-trimmed rigged invisibly for quick changes etc mdash so there is a lot of labor involved Also hats were a hugely important part of Elizabethan fashion all the way down to the poorest serf
Certain styles of hats were often associated with certain professions mdash eg doctors scholars mdash so there are a number of hats to build as well as headpieces for the women No self-respecting woman went about with her head uncovered
Putting together a show like this is like putting together a giant jigsaw puzzle and the pieces are the costumes that irsquove borrowed and rented from other theater companies in the Seattle area such as Seattle repertory Seattle Opera and the University of Washington as well as pieces from Oregon Shakespeare Festival i design the show and then go out into the world and try to find pieces that approximate my designs and palette as closely as possible (usually with some reworking first) The pieces that i cant find and dont want to compromise on i build from scratch

But thatrsquos exactly what longtime Walla Walla resident Larry Adams did for four years He was one of a select group of pilots for Marine One the helicopter counterpart of the presidential airplane Air Force One from 1970 to 1974

Long before Adams became the Walla Walla Airport manager he was transporting heads of state foreign dignitaries famous (and now infamous) Cabinet members the executive staff and President richard M Nixon during one of the nationrsquos most turbulent times the withdrawal from vietnam and the Watergate scandal
But to Adams a native of Northern idaho all that swirled around the Nixon presidency was the least of his concerns His job was to transport the president safely to Andrews Air Force Base or Camp David or fly any short flight required Safety always at a premium End of story
Many times Adams ferried President Nixon and his staff on short flights far away from home Air Force One might fly President Nixon to a summit or a meeting with a foreign head of state but Marine One and Adams were always nearby to shuttle the chief executive on short flights or to whisk him away from sudden danger
Pretty heady stuff for a fourth-grade teacher who had never thought about flying until a Marine recruiter offered him the opportunity Although Adams had watched planes take off and land at a nearby air base as a child he had never given serious thought to flying it was more a need for a bigger paycheck than passion that brought Adams to his destiny
He liked teaching but it just wasnrsquot paying the bills So Adams turned to the military and the Gi Bill After being unimpressed by other recruiters Adams took a liking to the fellow from the Marines for as Adams recalls the recruiter took an interest in him After about an hour of talking the recruiter suggested Adams might have the potential to be a pilot
Having easily passed some preliminary tests Adams was sent to flight school in Pensacola Fla and a stellar career was ready to take off He performed well in all the aircraft he piloted but he showed a special skill for helicopters
Up until 1965 fixed-wing airplanes were the staple of all military air combat But the military had been gearing up for a big change The helicopter was to become a major part of combat The Pentagon had been developing helicopters that would do much more than transport troops to bases Now they would assist in bombing
raids ground attacks and the evacuation of the injured from the point of combat This new breed of helicopters would also possess the ability to fight back and not be lame ducks as before the new H34 would tote machine guns on each side
These cutting-edge aircraft would travel at unprecedented speeds with newly discovered agility Gifted pilots were needed not those who merely possessed superior technical skills but those who also had the composure to fly straight into
enemy fire in the dead of night picking up injured soldiers or aiding air attacks
Adams was one of those pilots and he would be one of two squadron leaders for ldquoOperation Starliterdquo mdash the first major assault using helicopters The Marines were going straight into a North vietnamese regimental stronghold No one knew what to expect
ldquoWe lost a lot that first time inrdquo says Adams ldquoTwo crew chiefs were killed

people ltcontinued from pg 31
four pilots were medevaced out because of their wounds i donrsquot think there was one helicopter that didnrsquot have a bunch of holes in it The one i flew in we got a lot of rounds in it Amazingly no one was hurt but when we got back the helicopter was so shot-up you couldnrsquot fly it anymore We lost 50 percent of our helicopters that dayrdquo
in the next 13 months Adams would fly many more missions often heading straight into anti-aircraft fire to pick up injured or killed soldiers He says he would see the flares signifying where the copter was supposed to land but frequently hersquod have to veer off because ground communication would say ldquoThe artillery is too hotrdquo Then there would be a window maybe two minutes maybe five when the helicopter could drop in and pick up the injured often being shot at as it waited for its passengers
Adams knew the best way to survive was to keep his focus ldquoin the daylight when you start your run in and yoursquore getting shot at Everything went to black and white for me i didnrsquot notice the green trees or the green rice paddies until we got out of there and then it would come back
to me i donrsquot know what that was i just didnrsquot see the colors irsquove talked to some other pilots and they described the same thingrdquo
in his two tours of duty in vietnam Adams would fly 880 combat missions in several types of helicopters and fixed-wing airplanes He received numerous medals including two Navy commendations for performance under combat conditions
Then the call came to fly for the president Before Adams could tote the commander in chief around in Marine One a thorough background check had to be done So thorough was the check that Adams said a friend from his hometown sent him a card that read ldquoAre you in some kind of trouble Jesus therersquos been a bunch of people around here with the dark grey suits and the skinny little ties Theyrsquore asking all these embarrassing questions about you like did you have drinking problem Did you have a gambling problem Do you know what Larryrsquos sexual preference wasrdquo
Adams chuckles ldquoit was pretty funnyrdquoAdams passed the grade and soon
he was flying President Nixon and his family to Camp David or picking up vice
President Spiro Agnew at the Pentagon or taking Secretary of State Henry kissinger or Secretary of Defense Alexander Haig to a classified meeting Although his flights varied from transporting foreign heads of state to flying members of the press the majority involved the president the vice president kissinger and Haig
The pilots did not speak to their travelers unless spoken to says Adams President Nixon usually looked in and asked them how they were kissinger never spoke Haig was good for a pat on the shoulder now and then but it was Agnew who conversed the most says Adams
Adams remembers ldquoOne time we picked him up at the Pentagon and we had taken off and had hit top altitude He usually would come up and look into the cockpit but this time he patted me on the shoulder and asked lsquoWell howrsquos it going today guysrsquordquo Adams replied ldquoNot bad sir and how about yourselfrdquo
Agnew answered ldquoMan they are really after my assrdquo He was talking about the press Adams says ldquoTwo weeks later he resignedrdquo
Adams recalls that his encounters with Agnew as defying the public perception
Adams far right gives instructions before a mission in Vietnam
Walla Walla LifestyLes 33
that Agnew was arrogant ldquoHe was always one of the nicest guys He was straightforward He looked like he had just stepped off the cover of Gentlemenrsquos Quarterly all the time He was very proper in the way he dressed but he had a sense of humor as wellrdquo
There were other humorous moments Adams recalls a certain reporter from CBS who had been a major thorn in President Nixonrsquos side was late for takeoff from the South Lawn of the White House one morning Just as Marine One was about to leave without him he came running across the lawn hollering and waving his arms The Secret Service agent supervising the flight told Adams to ldquojust gordquo The wind from the propellers whipped the reporterrsquos toupee right off his head and instead of continuing his run toward Marine One he reversed his field and tried feverishly to retrieve his toupee snagged in the hedges
ldquoEveryone got a pretty good chuckle out of thatrdquo
Of course there were somber times At one point Adams flew Cabinet members John Ehrlichman and Hr Haldeman to Camp David for a meeting with the president After only 15 minutes the two men returned and Marine One headed home Adams says it was a quiet flight He found out later the two men had been fired by President Nixon for their parts in the Watergate scandal
Whisking the president away from danger was a major part of being a pilot of Marine One Stationed across the river from the Capitol pilots awakened by an emergency alert had to be up in the air in five minutes This exercise was practiced often though never needed during Adamsrsquo tenure
One night however they thought it was The operator at the White House mistakenly hit the ldquoAlertrdquo button Marine One was in the air in five minutes
Although ground control had not spotted any enemy aircraft the operation was under way As Marine One closed in on the White House the operator at fault tried to alert everyone of his mistake but unfortunately used a poor choice of words to call off the operation
Adams chuckles as he says ldquoThe fella said lsquoThis is not an exercisersquo He was moved to another post i thinkrdquo
All levity aside the position required
the same kind of focus demanded of Adams in vietnam though it came in a different form
ldquoThere were three things the way you operated the aircraft and they were in this order safety comfort and speed Safety never gave in to comfort or speedrdquo says Adams ldquoOur job was just concentrating on doing our job it could have been anybody mdash we would do it the same way it could have been Fred Flintstone
ldquoThe difference between flying for the White House and in vietnam was we were flying a premier aircraft We had to keep it impeccably clean everything was scripted We had to have the lsquoopen-the-door timersquo down to two to four seconds in vietnam it was the stress of performing medevacs under fire or dropping troops under heavy artillery For Marine One it was the stress of doing the job rightrdquo
Also the stress of being away from onersquos family 200 days of the year wore on a Marine One pilot in 1974 after four years on the job the toll became too much and Adams stepped down
He would stay with the Marines for eight more years retiring in August 1982
By then he had received 44 Air Medals including the Joint Service Commendation and the Presidential Service Badge in his 20 years of service Adams flew seven different helicopters and five different fixed-wing planes
What makes an elite military pilot ldquoPilots who donrsquot have any misgivingsrdquo says Adams ldquoTheyrsquore totally prepared they know their aircraftrdquo
When talking about his colleagues on Marine One he adds ldquoNone were boasters They might brag about a great landing but they did not brag in spite of someone elserdquo
What did Adams love most about his flying days ldquoi enjoyed flying with the latest technology and the pristine quality of Marine One i loved the process of building my skills i could have flown another 40 years and i would still be learning thingsrdquo
is it any surprise his favorite hobby now is fly fishing

it is astonishing in many ways mdash that we are presented with two weeks of top-drawer music performed by top-drawer musi-cians that there are so many ways to encounter the music (many of them free) and that a rural community has provided the incu-
bator for such a cultural undertaking to name but a fewGranted we are not your average rural community having two
colleges a university a symphony a choral society a community band and music in the schools but letrsquos face it wersquore not exactly a cosmopolitan center of culture like New york either The Cham-ber Music Festival mdash and our continued support of it through some tough times mdash puts us in a category all our own

worked hard to start this event and to my great joy it has taken on an iden-tity of its own i hire the musicians and choose the music but the town its people and its environs make the festivalrdquo
The beauty of chamber music is its intimacy mdash smaller ensembles performing for smaller audiences it has been referred to as ldquothe music of friendsrdquo which seems so apt at this festival Free open rehearsals are held around town that provide not only a musical atmosphere in which to enjoy a latte or the ambiance of the kirkman House but which give a richer look into the machinations of a working ensemble
As one enthusiastic fan puts it ldquoi am not a musician and itrsquos fascinat-ing to watch these rehearsals to see the interactions of the musicians as they work out the snags make wry remarks and relate to each other in a whole different way than during a for-mal performance i get a glimpse into their personalities and what makes them tickrdquo
The festival supplies a generous of-fering of venues with free concerts for children and families relaxed evening programs at wineries and full concerts at the Foundry Chism Hall and Day-tonrsquos Liberty Theater
if you are lucky enough to live near the musiciansrsquo lodgings while they are in town you may also be treated to an ad hoc front-porch concert as the ensembles continue their rehearsals in more private settings The festival is about all of these ways mdash planned and accidental mdash to experience the enchantment of chamber music
it is also about historic continuity and the connection between past and present mdash relishing the existing canon while expanding the genre with con-temporary forms and voices
How is this accomplished in part by the annual commission of a new piece of music for the festival Chris-tie is committed to contributing to the broader chamber music repertoire and to providing the audience with the richest possible experience

ldquoFor classical music to be relevant there must be a conversation between the music of our time and the music of the pastrdquo he says
By commissioning a work for the festi-val each year Christie creates such a con-versation
This year the commission was given to John David Earnest Four festival commis-sions have preceded his and he is the sec-ond ldquolocalrdquo composer to be tapped add-ing another layer of relationship between community and event (in 2009 Whitman College professor David Glenn was given the nod)
As visiting adjunct professor of music at Whitman Earnest resides here for six weeks every semester His ldquoSecond Sym-phonyrdquo was written for and performed by the Walla Walla Symphony in October 2001
The challenge for the yearly commis-sionee is to compose a piece on demand within specific constraints of time place and instrumentation while expressing hisher own voice as an artist
Earnest has created ldquoCommedia Gal-leryrdquo a set of three movements for flute
viola and harp based on stock characters from the Commedia dellrsquoArte a popu-lar theatrical form that was influential in Europe for over 300 years Commedia characters improvised dialogue around set scenarios generally involving the struggles of young lovers to overcome hindrances to their romance and each character even-tually came to have a consistent set of at-tributes in speech mannerisms and cos-tume
Earnestrsquos ldquoGalleryrdquo gives us Arlecchi-no (Harlequin) an acrobatic and devious jester Pierrot the classic sad clown and finally Scaramouche a dandy and a brag-gart who is a coward at heart
in anticipation of this yearrsquos festival i am reminded of the scene in ldquoThe Music Manrdquo in which the town awaits the ar-rival of the Wells Fargo Wagon Potentially heaped with gifts and surprises it prom-ises connection to the larger world The WWCMF brings us all ldquosomethinrsquo specialrdquo mdash an enrichment of our community and our culture

Smith has gardened for years at his home at 38 Mulberry Court in College Place He used to grow vegetables and flowers now he is strictly focusing on flowers mdash with fabulous results roses delphiniums and lots of irises line the fence
ldquoirises mdash irsquove always enjoyed themrdquo he says ldquoThey take a little bit of weeding and watering but not much morerdquo itrsquos the gardenerrsquos dream mdash low maintenance with a big return
A retired orthopedic surgeon Smith has in the past gardened more extensively than he does now But he has enough plants to keep him busy His new project is planting more of the reblooming iris These are still hardy but you get twice the reward they bloom in the spring then again in the fall
ldquoTheyrsquore easy to grow and spectacular for a short time iris take less care than a lot of thingsrdquo Smith says
His secret for gardening is simple and therersquos no getting around it ldquoTime and workrdquo he laughs
Hersquos getting ready to start in the garden ldquoi need to clean out the leaves and the old foliage of the irisrdquo
in addition to the basic cleaning and maintenance Smith just decides how many plants to keep Bulb flowers are hardy and they multiply on their own
ldquoAfter five years you usually have to separate the bulbs when they get too thick i donrsquot have room to add more i put in the new re-blooming onesrdquo he explains ldquoi may add more and a few other thingsrdquo
But in a garden you can always try something new or rearrange existing plants often with a spectacular outcome

itrsquos an odd location since it can only be seen as yoursquore leaving town but it always makes me smile This valley my adopted home is indeed a great place to be
i recently finished reading the great Western writer Wallace Stegnerrsquos book ldquoThe Sound of Mountain Waterrdquo One of his essays traces his nomadic childhood which left him feeling rootless and without a place that he felt he could call home
i identify with his feeling of not belonging i was born to a single woman from Massachusetts in a New york City hospital i stayed a scant few days before being placed with an adoption agency Born in a place i had no familial connection to i was immediately deprived of my biological family Most of my childhood was spent in suburban Cleveland Ohio Moves to upstate New york New England and Pennsylvania brought me no closer to calling any place home i loved living in the western Massachusetts town of Stockbridge but the multigenerational denizens of the town left few openings for newcomers like me i lived in central Pennsylvania for several decades but felt detached from the deep roots that most people had in the area
When we came west (for my husband a homecoming to his Oregon roots for me a new experience) i noticed that even in long-established towns like Walla Walla there is ample room for newcomers who want to be
part of the community And most folks who choose to come here donrsquot seem to want to change the valley they prefer to embrace it
While the occasional newbie whines about the lack of Whole Foods or Nordstrom they soon discover our farmers markets the wide variety of local shops and boutiques and our world-class restaurants They fall in love with our charming downtowns the small-town friendliness of the people and our kid-friendly environment Then therersquos the holiday parade the fair the ever-present Blue Mountains the parks the museums the wineries mdash really whatrsquos not to like The communities of our valley represent America at its best
irsquom a newspaper junkie i love to read everything from news to sports to classifieds mdash even the obituaries The obits are a fascinating window on our valley Many of the people chronicled were born here some lived all their lives here inextricably bound to this place But a number of people came here from other places often far away and have made a mark on our area Which makes me wonder mdash is a place any less of a hometown because you choose it or is it based primarily on the happenstance of your birth it seems that therersquos room for both paths to calling this wonderful valley home
itrsquos also our strength because collectively as a community we bring both deep familial and cultural traditions as well as the fresh perspective of newcomers to our area irsquom glad mdash after decades of searching mdash that i finally found my hometown a place that feels just right

Play is important in Walla Walla the play will truly be the thing when Shakespeare Walla Walla presents ldquoThe Merry Wives of Windsorrdquo at the newly restored Power House Theatre this month Lifestyles is teaming up with SWW for an inaugural event that will offer guests food fashion and merriment in the Elizabethan manner May 18 Check out our cover spread for a preview of the event
Winston Churchill may have described golf best when he said it ldquois a game whose aim is to hit a very small ball into an even smaller hole with weapons singularly ill-designed for the purposerdquo
So if you are going to pursue the sport it makes sense to get the best coaching possible Al Mundle who spent 57 years helping others improve their games thought he had put tinkering with other peoplersquos grip stance and swing away for good But that was before Terri Hanson convinced him to offer some pointers to her son Jake who was heading into his final year on the links for the Walla Walla High School Blue Devils
Jim Buchan shows you how this relationship has worked
Work to a lot of people can be repetitious drudgery Larry Adams never had that problem Whether he was flying into enemy fire in vietnam or piloting a helicopter for the president each day challenged his skills and preparation Adams recounts some of those adventures for Lifestyles
Skill and preparation are necessary ingredients for cooking Gina Medica tells how she learned to make culinary creations from Cuba Her specialty is a flan dessert
Dr Donald Smithrsquos specialty is creating an eye-catching garden of colorful flowers The iris is a primary element of his palette Check out his creations in Secret Gardens
Columnist Catie Mcintyre Walker explains how the original palette for the LrsquoEcole No 41 wine labels came from a childrsquos watercolor As the winery has matured it has decided it was time to update the labels

Walla Walla LifestyLes 11
Born in Miami and then raised in Central Los Angeles by her Cuban-born parents Medica learned her craft by observing her mother work in the kitchen Of all Medicarsquos culinary creations it is her Cuban flan dessert that receives the most requests
ldquoEveryone in the family would always request it especially my nieces and nephewrdquo Medica says sitting at her dining room table the freshly presented flan resting in front of her ldquoMy bro can easily eat half of itrdquo
And the flan does not remain uneaten for long as i sit down with the Walla Walla businesswoman and her daughter Elizabeth to discuss and taste this delicacy Minutes after we begin our conversation nephew Nick arrives and quickly wolfs down two servings
irsquove already finished my first and am working on my second when we begin our conversation
LifEStyLES With both of your parents being Havana natives did you eat Cuban food exclusively
MEDiCa No but in the early days Thanksgiving was pretty different My mom would fix the turkey but shersquod serve it with black beans and white rice Wersquod be ldquoAh mom canrsquot we have regular Thanksgiving food like mashed potatoes and yamsrdquo Those came later as we lived in the States longer
LifEStyLES So the food changed as you kids grew older
MEDiCa Well my mom was always pretty good at American food but sometimes it wasnrsquot all the way like she made American spaghetti but she put chicken in it it was good but my brother would always complain that it didnrsquot have meatballs Now he misses the chicken
LifEStyLES How many kids do you have in the family
MEDiCa i have an older brother and a younger sister irsquom the middle one We didnrsquot have a normal childhood in the sense that my mom was a hairstylist at home and on Saturday mornings customers would start arriving at 8 And she had one of those big old hair dryers

that you put over someonersquos head mdash we called it ldquoFidel Castrordquo mdash and yoursquod have these customers yelling at the top of their voice while they were under it So i never got to sleep in
LifEStyLES it sounds like your mother was quite a lady
MEDiCa i recently found some of her original recipes you know in her own handwriting One of them is for croquetta which was really good you take chicken with corned beef and grind them up bread it and then fry it itrsquos really goodrdquo
LifEStyLES Why do you like the flan so much
MEDiCa Because everyone in the family always requested it i make it a little different The way i make it it is a little more creamy because i use cream cheese itrsquos more like a custard Many times in Mexican restaurants the flan will be more jello-y This is almost like cheesecake
LifEStyLES is it strictly for dessert
MEDiCa yes itrsquos for special occasions
LifEStyLES Like birthdays and parties
MEDiCa yes itrsquos not light you canrsquot have too much or your stomach will start to ache
LifEStyLES Does it take a long time to prepare
MEDiCa Not really Making the caramel sauce takes the most time and you canrsquot take your eyes off it or it might burn
LifEStyLES Tastes like it didnrsquot burn
MEDiCa No i had lots of help My daughter Elizabeth (and she glances over at her youngest child) helped me a lot

Place the sugar in a saucepan on medium heat and stir until granules of sugar have liquified and the mixture takes on a caramel color
Pour the mixture into a mold coating the sides This must be done quickly because the mixture will harden also use oven mittens so you donrsquot burn your hands

Preheat oven to 350 degreesIn a blender mix the sweetened condensed

Pour out half the mixture into a bowl and pour in the remaining evaporated milk and blend
Pour contents of blender and bowl into mold and stir Cover with aluminum foil Crimp the edges of the foil around the mold to keep moisture out
Put the mold in a big cake pan and pour enough water around the mold for it to come part-way up the sides of the mold (we call that ldquobantildeo Mariacuteardquo) and bake for one hour plus 15 to 20 minutes
Use a knife to test done-ness mdash the knife should come out clean
When the flan is done baking let it rest and cool then place it in the refrigerator for 24 hours
The next day dip the mold in warm water before flipping the flan into a serving dish
Makes 12 servings

The old Frenchtown schoolhouse built in 1915 with the stately bell tower still stands it has been a historic fixture in the Walla Walla valley that many of us have grown up with even if we never attended classes there One can still stride up the long sidewalk to the large heavy carved doors with a feeling of reverence and trepidation mdash as if it were the first day of school mdash while imagining generations of children playing on the manicured grounds
in the 1970s the old schoolhouse classrooms found themselves empty of childrenrsquos laughter But in 1983 Jean and Baker Ferguson breathed new life into the old building founding what would become one of the premier wineries in Washington LrsquoEcole No 41
The name was historically im-portant in two ways ldquoLrsquoEcolerdquo French for ldquothe schoolrdquo recognized the French men and women who settled the area and ldquo41rdquo was the numerical designation of the school district
The Fergusonsrsquo first crush of 1983 was resting in the barrel when the following year they asked their elementary school-aged family members to draw an image that would best reflect the new project
The $100 prize went to an 8-year-old cousin whose watercolor interpretation of the old schoolhouse became the template for a wine label it became an iconic label known to wine lovers around the world
in 1989 the second generation of the family Jean and Bakerrsquos daughter and son-
in-law Megan and Martin (Marty) Clubb became the new proprietors of the winery Marty became the general manager and winemaker and would lead the small artisan winery to new heights mdash it would eventually produce more than 30000 cases annually
At the same time the Washington state wine industry was booming and would soon become the nationrsquos second-largest wine producer The area would become one of the premium wine-producing regions in the United States
Marty also became a pioneer in the

Washington state wine industry as he became a founder and activist in many of the wine industryrsquos foundations and alliances The family-owned winery also partnered with some of the most prestigious vineyards in the state LrsquoEcole No 41 has been honored nine consecutive years by Wine amp Spirits magazine as ldquoWinery of the yearrdquo becoming the second Washington winery inducted into the Hall of Fame
There is a third-generation that has grown up around the winery and will eventually become caretakers of this legacy Meganrsquos and Martyrsquos children Jeanrsquos and Bakerrsquos grandchildren rebecca and riley Clubb had their own meaningful influence on the label with their childhood drawings on the labelrsquos chalkboard image
riley is a 2009 graduate of Whitman College and is employed at the winery rebecca is enrolled in Washington State Universityrsquos wine management program and expected to graduate in 2012
The winery will soon celebrate its 30th birthday The wines produced at the old schoolhouse are refined with true varietal character and can stand up against many coveted wines from France mdash and they have Now that LrsquoEcole is a top player in the world of wine the whimsical label on its bottles is no longer truly indicative of the sophisticated gold and dark-red liquids behind the glass
ldquoLooking to the future we wanted our label to reflect the winery we have becomerdquo says Marty Clubb
This year the winery will unveil a new label it will still depict the iconic schoolhouse but with deeper colors and a new texture There will be a distinct difference among the labels depending on the vineyards used Wines produced from Columbia valley vineyards will have a soft charcoal-colored background label and the labels for the wines produced from Walla Walla vineyards will be more sepia-toned
Another distinctive change will be the de-emphasizing of the ldquoNo 41rdquo as generations of wine lovers have often referred to the winery as ldquoLrsquoEcolerdquo
The new label will be a timeless reminder of the past as well as a welcome to future generations

it was 1954 the year he graduated from the University of Oregon and two female students from the university were interested in learning some of the finer points of the game
ldquoit was probably the worst lesson anybody has ever givenrdquo Mundle exclaimed shaking his head in dismay ldquoThese two young ladies were looking for some help and i worked with them for an hour-and-a-half And at the end of that time i said lsquoi have done such a poor job i will pay you for the time i have put you through this torturersquordquo

Painful as it was the lesson learned proved to be a career-launching moment for Mundle who dedicated himself to his trade and spent a lifetime in the golf business successfully working up and down the i-5 corridor as course operator teacher and player
Fifty-seven years after that first teaching debacle Mundle now 79 years old is retired and living in Walla Walla He and his wife Ann relocated here last summer determined to give up teaching golf and spend more time playing the game they both love
ldquoAfter all of these years of teaching i feel that this is the time to lay it asiderdquo Mundle said ldquoi will still do a little studying of the golf swing and methods and i will be involved with some of the other local professionals in some cracker-barrel sessions when they get together to discuss teaching methods problems and how to solve them
ldquoBut i really came here not to teach but to play some golfrdquo
That was the plan anyway before he was introduced to Walla Walla High School senior Jake Hanson who was looking for a little extra help with his game heading into his final year on the links as a Blue Devil
Terri Hanson Jakersquos mother was aware of Mundlersquos reputation as a teaching professional and heard through the grapevine he was living in Walla Walla
ldquoBeing the mom i am i called him one dayrdquo Terri remembered ldquoi told him that Jakersquos golf game was at a standstill i asked him to take a look at Jake and he agreed to come and meet us and get a feel for where Jake was at
ldquoHe did and before you knew it they were putting on our hardwood floors The next day they agreed to get together at Wine valley mdash they were there for four hours and it has been an amazing connection right from the beginning
ldquoAl is an amazing Christian man who is so well-respected in his fieldrdquo Terri added ldquoAnd he just demands respect irsquom seeing my son of 17 all of a sudden growing uprdquo
Mundle concedes he is intrigued by Hansonrsquos character and potential And

Hanson holds his new mentor in high esteem
ldquoirsquove learned a tremendous amountrdquo Hanson said ldquoHe has a way of getting through to me in a positive way He got through to me that i am so much better than i thought i could be He has more confidence in me than i have in myself
ldquoHe has one of the best golf swings i have ever seen and he is still working on his own gamerdquo
Mundle said Hanson reminds him of former University of Oregon player Ben Crane who now plays on the PGA Tour Crane has been playing professionally since 2007 and earned nearly $3 million on the tour in 2010
ldquoi was Benrsquos swing coach at Oregon and Jake is somewhat similarrdquo Mundle said ldquoBen worked harder than anybody on the whole golf team He would put in as much
time as three or four others combined and Jake is very much the same way Hersquos very dedicatedrdquo
However Mundle insists that helping Hanson with his game is a one-time situation
After playing just six rounds of golf last year Mundle is determined that he and Ann will spend a lot more time on the golf course as they get acquainted with their new hometown
ldquoThatrsquos an all-time lowrdquo he said of the six rounds played in 2010 ldquoMostly it was the move and all mdash a new house putting in lawn fencing shelving in the garage mdash all the little things of getting settled
ldquoBut this was a good move for us We love it here We enjoy the weather and the people you can walk down the street and people look you in the eye and say lsquoHellorsquo i love that friendlinessrdquo
Mundle grew up in Eugene and graduated from University High School in 1950 He knew he said from the time he was in the seventh grade he wanted to make golf his lifersquos work
ldquoyou might say that i had a little parental directionrdquo Mundle said ldquoMy dad went to the University of St Andrews in Scotland and he played golf at the St Andrews Old Course And my mother also played golfrdquo
After high school Mundle enrolled at the University of Oregon and played three years of varsity golf during an era when there was no such thing as a golf scholarship
ldquoThe only thing we ever received was a half-a-dozen golf balls if we went into a tournamentrdquo Mundle recalled ldquoWhen i went to the NCAA Championships in Texas my senior year i was given a new
people ltcontinued from pg 17
Walla Walla LifestyLes 19
pair of golf shoes but that was itldquoWe bought all of our own gear mdash
clubs bags rain gear everything itrsquos a whole different ball game today They have everythingrdquo
At the end of his sophomore year at Oregon Mundle had it in his mind to ldquotest my golf on the PGA Tourrdquo he said But his father an English professor at the university discouraged him
ldquoHe said lsquoGet your education first then you can do whatever you wantrsquordquo Mundle said ldquoit was just as well i saved a lot of wear and tear mdash and money i was an Ok player but not of that caliberrdquo
Mundle still has fond memories of his collegiate playing career however
ldquoi played three years for the university mdash you werenrsquot allowed to play as freshmen mdash and Oregon always had fine golf teamsrdquo Mundle said ldquoit was mostly match
play then and i was there during the time that the school went seven straight years without losing a (team) dual matchrdquo
During his senior year Mundle qualified for the NCAA Championships in Houston From a field of about 160 players Mundle made it as far as the quarterfinal round
He graduated in 1954 with a degree in history which he said he never really used
ldquoMy dad was in the top one percent of his class at St Andrewsrdquo Mundle said ldquoMy mother was also in the top part of her class and my older brother Pete was in the top of his class And then i came alongrdquo
His first golf job was as an assistant pro at his home course the Laurelwood Golf Course a position he accepted shortly after graduating from UO This was when and where the infamous first golf lesson
occurredA two-year stint in the US Army took
Mundle away from his profession in 1955-56 But he managed to keep his golf game sharp as a member of the Fort knox golf team and in 1956 he was the runner-up in the Second Army tournament and he placed 13th in the All-Army tournament
Then it was back to the Willamette valley where he came into his own in the Portland area under head professionals Eddie Hogan at riverside Country Club and Bunny Mason at Columbia Edgewater
ldquoThose two people were very influential in my professional liferdquo Mundle said
ldquoEddie was a very fine teacher of the total golf operation and service was No 1 i learned how to run the pro shop how
Jake Hanson takes a few pointers on chipping from his instructor and mentor Al Mundle
Continued on pg 20 gt
20 Walla Walla LifestyLes
people ltcontinued from pg 19
to market and merchandise mdash everything from how to run the club service program to the electric cart program to basically running the golf course
ldquoBunny was also a very fine operator of a golf shop and i also learned a lot about teaching from Bunny Sometimes you go along in life and there are certain mentors who help you along the way Anybody who says they made it by themselves is not being honest with themselves We have all had someone who has given us a little boost along the wayrdquo
Mundle took his first head professional job in 1965 at Overlake Golf and Country Club in Bellevue where he remained until 1981 At that point he returned to Eugene and was the head pro at the Eugene Country Club for three years followed by a six-year stint at the Bear Creek Country Club in Seattle
He also spent a short time at a golf course in Cottage Grove Ore before moving back to Eugene for a third time in 1993 to become the director of golf instruction at the river ridge Golf Course He remained at river ridge until his retirement last summer During his time there he helped out as the swing coach at UO under then-head coach Steve Nosler
Through it all Mundle served as president of the Washington PGA and the Pacific Northwest PGA and was a member of several National PGA committees As a player he participated in the Oregon Washington and Pacific Northwest opens as well as the Washington and Oregon PGA events One of his highlights was winning the Oregon Senior PGA Match-Play Championships in Bend in 1993
ldquoi felt i had an obligation to participaterdquo Mundle said ldquoi played a lot of golf including many many pro-ams and i won a couple of assistant championshipsrdquo
in addition to Crane Mundle also helped shape the careers of Jeff Quinney and Eric Johnson both of whom are from the Eugene area
Quinney won the United States Amateur championship in 2000 and represented the US in the Walker Cup in 2001 He has appeared in 128 PGA Tour events since 2007 placing second twice and third twice
Johnson played several years on the Asian Tour and one on the Nationwide Tour He is now a head professional at a

course in San rafael CalifldquoAnd there have been some others mdash
Brian Henninger Mike Gove a few others mdash who have called and wanted to discus their swingrdquo Mundle said ldquoNothing on a regular basis just one or two sessionsrdquo
is Hanson his next mdash and perhaps his last mdash prodigy
Thatrsquos a tricky question since Hanson came to golf late after a budding baseball career was derailed by a shoulder injury He was a first-team all-Big Nine Conference golf selection as a junior but has yet to qualify for state and his summer resume is thin because of his baseball background
Hansonrsquos original plan was to attend Walla Walla Community College and play golf for the Warriors with the hope of earning an NCAA Division i scholarship But he has since decided to enroll in Arizona State Universityrsquos Professional Golf Management program and try out for the ASU golf team as a walk on
ldquoMore than anything i think it came down to him evaluating his goalsrdquo said Jakersquos father Gary Hanson ldquoitrsquos everyonersquos dream to play on the PGA Tour but realistically he wants to be a golf pro and teach He loves
the gamerdquoAnd a degree in the PGM program
will provide Jake with the educational background he needs to be successful in any form of business his father added
Though his chances of making the ASU varsity team seem unlikely the PGM program provides a club golf team that participates in a series of tournaments throughout the year and gives Hanson a second playing option
And keeping your options open is optimum at this point Mundle said
ldquoi think his driving force at this time mdash and also his folks mdash is to get his education And then he can do whatever he wants if he doesnrsquot go into (the golfing business) immediately he will always have it as a backuprdquo
Sounds an awful lot like the advice Thomas Mundle offered his son back in the spring of 1952 when Al Mundle wanted to leave school after his sophomore year and test his wings on the PGA Tour And as we now know all these years later staying in school worked out pretty well for Al

T H E A T R EPOWER HOUSE
My director Terry Edward Moore told me his only direction from the artistic director was that it be ldquoperiodrdquo that is to say authentic to the time
ldquoMerry Wivesrdquo is the only one of Shakespearersquos plays that is set in his own time so it was decided to present it as if the actors were people of the time doing what would be a contemporary (to the late 16th century) play
i started to research the clothing of the time how it was constructed and what kinds of fabrics were available at the time mdash linens homespuns woolens for the common people and silks damasks velvets and furs for the upper classes i discovered that Elizabethan society was strictly regulated in terms of social classes and upward mobility was a little-known concept Once a yeoman always a yeoman i also discovered the set of rules and regulations called ldquosumptuary lawsrdquo which specifically dictated what types of fabrics trims furs and even what colors each class was allowed to wear
Since there are three distinct classes represented in ldquoMerry Wivesrdquo mdash merchant class soldiers and servants mdash i tried to give each class its own color palette based on these laws The overall palette of the show is based on colors actually in use at the time
The availability of dyes was limited (except for the nobility) so the palette consists of many shades of yellows and browns russets black some greens and blue-grays and of course wheat-colored unbleached linen i turned to the Dutch painter Brueghel for inspiration on how the common people looked and dressed
i also researched what kinds of dyes were used and where they came from Dyes were created from all sorts of different things such as walnut shell crushed beetles and all kinds of roots i found a website that sells these authentic dyestuffs so irsquom using the real thing to dye some of the linen pieces and will coordinate the contemporary fabrics to these authentic colors
Nearly every piece will need something done to it mdash altered in some way to fit the actor re-trimmed rigged invisibly for quick changes etc mdash so there is a lot of labor involved Also hats were a hugely important part of Elizabethan fashion all the way down to the poorest serf
Certain styles of hats were often associated with certain professions mdash eg doctors scholars mdash so there are a number of hats to build as well as headpieces for the women No self-respecting woman went about with her head uncovered
Putting together a show like this is like putting together a giant jigsaw puzzle and the pieces are the costumes that irsquove borrowed and rented from other theater companies in the Seattle area such as Seattle repertory Seattle Opera and the University of Washington as well as pieces from Oregon Shakespeare Festival i design the show and then go out into the world and try to find pieces that approximate my designs and palette as closely as possible (usually with some reworking first) The pieces that i cant find and dont want to compromise on i build from scratch

But thatrsquos exactly what longtime Walla Walla resident Larry Adams did for four years He was one of a select group of pilots for Marine One the helicopter counterpart of the presidential airplane Air Force One from 1970 to 1974

Long before Adams became the Walla Walla Airport manager he was transporting heads of state foreign dignitaries famous (and now infamous) Cabinet members the executive staff and President richard M Nixon during one of the nationrsquos most turbulent times the withdrawal from vietnam and the Watergate scandal
But to Adams a native of Northern idaho all that swirled around the Nixon presidency was the least of his concerns His job was to transport the president safely to Andrews Air Force Base or Camp David or fly any short flight required Safety always at a premium End of story
Many times Adams ferried President Nixon and his staff on short flights far away from home Air Force One might fly President Nixon to a summit or a meeting with a foreign head of state but Marine One and Adams were always nearby to shuttle the chief executive on short flights or to whisk him away from sudden danger
Pretty heady stuff for a fourth-grade teacher who had never thought about flying until a Marine recruiter offered him the opportunity Although Adams had watched planes take off and land at a nearby air base as a child he had never given serious thought to flying it was more a need for a bigger paycheck than passion that brought Adams to his destiny
He liked teaching but it just wasnrsquot paying the bills So Adams turned to the military and the Gi Bill After being unimpressed by other recruiters Adams took a liking to the fellow from the Marines for as Adams recalls the recruiter took an interest in him After about an hour of talking the recruiter suggested Adams might have the potential to be a pilot
Having easily passed some preliminary tests Adams was sent to flight school in Pensacola Fla and a stellar career was ready to take off He performed well in all the aircraft he piloted but he showed a special skill for helicopters
Up until 1965 fixed-wing airplanes were the staple of all military air combat But the military had been gearing up for a big change The helicopter was to become a major part of combat The Pentagon had been developing helicopters that would do much more than transport troops to bases Now they would assist in bombing
raids ground attacks and the evacuation of the injured from the point of combat This new breed of helicopters would also possess the ability to fight back and not be lame ducks as before the new H34 would tote machine guns on each side
These cutting-edge aircraft would travel at unprecedented speeds with newly discovered agility Gifted pilots were needed not those who merely possessed superior technical skills but those who also had the composure to fly straight into
enemy fire in the dead of night picking up injured soldiers or aiding air attacks
Adams was one of those pilots and he would be one of two squadron leaders for ldquoOperation Starliterdquo mdash the first major assault using helicopters The Marines were going straight into a North vietnamese regimental stronghold No one knew what to expect
ldquoWe lost a lot that first time inrdquo says Adams ldquoTwo crew chiefs were killed

four pilots were medevaced out because of their wounds i donrsquot think there was one helicopter that didnrsquot have a bunch of holes in it The one i flew in we got a lot of rounds in it Amazingly no one was hurt but when we got back the helicopter was so shot-up you couldnrsquot fly it anymore We lost 50 percent of our helicopters that dayrdquo
in the next 13 months Adams would fly many more missions often heading straight into anti-aircraft fire to pick up injured or killed soldiers He says he would see the flares signifying where the copter was supposed to land but frequently hersquod have to veer off because ground communication would say ldquoThe artillery is too hotrdquo Then there would be a window maybe two minutes maybe five when the helicopter could drop in and pick up the injured often being shot at as it waited for its passengers
Adams knew the best way to survive was to keep his focus ldquoin the daylight when you start your run in and yoursquore getting shot at Everything went to black and white for me i didnrsquot notice the green trees or the green rice paddies until we got out of there and then it would come back
to me i donrsquot know what that was i just didnrsquot see the colors irsquove talked to some other pilots and they described the same thingrdquo
in his two tours of duty in vietnam Adams would fly 880 combat missions in several types of helicopters and fixed-wing airplanes He received numerous medals including two Navy commendations for performance under combat conditions
Then the call came to fly for the president Before Adams could tote the commander in chief around in Marine One a thorough background check had to be done So thorough was the check that Adams said a friend from his hometown sent him a card that read ldquoAre you in some kind of trouble Jesus therersquos been a bunch of people around here with the dark grey suits and the skinny little ties Theyrsquore asking all these embarrassing questions about you like did you have drinking problem Did you have a gambling problem Do you know what Larryrsquos sexual preference wasrdquo
Adams chuckles ldquoit was pretty funnyrdquoAdams passed the grade and soon
he was flying President Nixon and his family to Camp David or picking up vice
President Spiro Agnew at the Pentagon or taking Secretary of State Henry kissinger or Secretary of Defense Alexander Haig to a classified meeting Although his flights varied from transporting foreign heads of state to flying members of the press the majority involved the president the vice president kissinger and Haig
The pilots did not speak to their travelers unless spoken to says Adams President Nixon usually looked in and asked them how they were kissinger never spoke Haig was good for a pat on the shoulder now and then but it was Agnew who conversed the most says Adams
Adams remembers ldquoOne time we picked him up at the Pentagon and we had taken off and had hit top altitude He usually would come up and look into the cockpit but this time he patted me on the shoulder and asked lsquoWell howrsquos it going today guysrsquordquo Adams replied ldquoNot bad sir and how about yourselfrdquo
Agnew answered ldquoMan they are really after my assrdquo He was talking about the press Adams says ldquoTwo weeks later he resignedrdquo
Adams recalls that his encounters with Agnew as defying the public perception
Adams far right gives instructions before a mission in Vietnam
Walla Walla LifestyLes 33
that Agnew was arrogant ldquoHe was always one of the nicest guys He was straightforward He looked like he had just stepped off the cover of Gentlemenrsquos Quarterly all the time He was very proper in the way he dressed but he had a sense of humor as wellrdquo
There were other humorous moments Adams recalls a certain reporter from CBS who had been a major thorn in President Nixonrsquos side was late for takeoff from the South Lawn of the White House one morning Just as Marine One was about to leave without him he came running across the lawn hollering and waving his arms The Secret Service agent supervising the flight told Adams to ldquojust gordquo The wind from the propellers whipped the reporterrsquos toupee right off his head and instead of continuing his run toward Marine One he reversed his field and tried feverishly to retrieve his toupee snagged in the hedges
ldquoEveryone got a pretty good chuckle out of thatrdquo
Of course there were somber times At one point Adams flew Cabinet members John Ehrlichman and Hr Haldeman to Camp David for a meeting with the president After only 15 minutes the two men returned and Marine One headed home Adams says it was a quiet flight He found out later the two men had been fired by President Nixon for their parts in the Watergate scandal
Whisking the president away from danger was a major part of being a pilot of Marine One Stationed across the river from the Capitol pilots awakened by an emergency alert had to be up in the air in five minutes This exercise was practiced often though never needed during Adamsrsquo tenure
One night however they thought it was The operator at the White House mistakenly hit the ldquoAlertrdquo button Marine One was in the air in five minutes
Although ground control had not spotted any enemy aircraft the operation was under way As Marine One closed in on the White House the operator at fault tried to alert everyone of his mistake but unfortunately used a poor choice of words to call off the operation
Adams chuckles as he says ldquoThe fella said lsquoThis is not an exercisersquo He was moved to another post i thinkrdquo
All levity aside the position required
the same kind of focus demanded of Adams in vietnam though it came in a different form
ldquoThere were three things the way you operated the aircraft and they were in this order safety comfort and speed Safety never gave in to comfort or speedrdquo says Adams ldquoOur job was just concentrating on doing our job it could have been anybody mdash we would do it the same way it could have been Fred Flintstone
ldquoThe difference between flying for the White House and in vietnam was we were flying a premier aircraft We had to keep it impeccably clean everything was scripted We had to have the lsquoopen-the-door timersquo down to two to four seconds in vietnam it was the stress of performing medevacs under fire or dropping troops under heavy artillery For Marine One it was the stress of doing the job rightrdquo
Also the stress of being away from onersquos family 200 days of the year wore on a Marine One pilot in 1974 after four years on the job the toll became too much and Adams stepped down
He would stay with the Marines for eight more years retiring in August 1982
By then he had received 44 Air Medals including the Joint Service Commendation and the Presidential Service Badge in his 20 years of service Adams flew seven different helicopters and five different fixed-wing planes
What makes an elite military pilot ldquoPilots who donrsquot have any misgivingsrdquo says Adams ldquoTheyrsquore totally prepared they know their aircraftrdquo
When talking about his colleagues on Marine One he adds ldquoNone were boasters They might brag about a great landing but they did not brag in spite of someone elserdquo
What did Adams love most about his flying days ldquoi enjoyed flying with the latest technology and the pristine quality of Marine One i loved the process of building my skills i could have flown another 40 years and i would still be learning thingsrdquo
is it any surprise his favorite hobby now is fly fishing

it is astonishing in many ways mdash that we are presented with two weeks of top-drawer music performed by top-drawer musi-cians that there are so many ways to encounter the music (many of them free) and that a rural community has provided the incu-
bator for such a cultural undertaking to name but a fewGranted we are not your average rural community having two
colleges a university a symphony a choral society a community band and music in the schools but letrsquos face it wersquore not exactly a cosmopolitan center of culture like New york either The Cham-ber Music Festival mdash and our continued support of it through some tough times mdash puts us in a category all our own
ldquoi saw what was special about this community the first time i visited in 2007rdquo Artistic Director Timothy Christie says ldquoi have

worked hard to start this event and to my great joy it has taken on an iden-tity of its own i hire the musicians and choose the music but the town its people and its environs make the festivalrdquo
The beauty of chamber music is its intimacy mdash smaller ensembles performing for smaller audiences it has been referred to as ldquothe music of friendsrdquo which seems so apt at this festival Free open rehearsals are held around town that provide not only a musical atmosphere in which to enjoy a latte or the ambiance of the kirkman House but which give a richer look into the machinations of a working ensemble
As one enthusiastic fan puts it ldquoi am not a musician and itrsquos fascinat-ing to watch these rehearsals to see the interactions of the musicians as they work out the snags make wry remarks and relate to each other in a whole different way than during a for-mal performance i get a glimpse into their personalities and what makes them tickrdquo
The festival supplies a generous of-fering of venues with free concerts for children and families relaxed evening programs at wineries and full concerts at the Foundry Chism Hall and Day-tonrsquos Liberty Theater
if you are lucky enough to live near the musiciansrsquo lodgings while they are in town you may also be treated to an ad hoc front-porch concert as the ensembles continue their rehearsals in more private settings The festival is about all of these ways mdash planned and accidental mdash to experience the enchantment of chamber music
it is also about historic continuity and the connection between past and present mdash relishing the existing canon while expanding the genre with con-temporary forms and voices
How is this accomplished in part by the annual commission of a new piece of music for the festival Chris-tie is committed to contributing to the broader chamber music repertoire and to providing the audience with the richest possible experience

ldquoFor classical music to be relevant there must be a conversation between the music of our time and the music of the pastrdquo he says
By commissioning a work for the festi-val each year Christie creates such a con-versation
This year the commission was given to John David Earnest Four festival commis-sions have preceded his and he is the sec-ond ldquolocalrdquo composer to be tapped add-ing another layer of relationship between community and event (in 2009 Whitman College professor David Glenn was given the nod)
As visiting adjunct professor of music at Whitman Earnest resides here for six weeks every semester His ldquoSecond Sym-phonyrdquo was written for and performed by the Walla Walla Symphony in October 2001
The challenge for the yearly commis-sionee is to compose a piece on demand within specific constraints of time place and instrumentation while expressing hisher own voice as an artist
Earnest has created ldquoCommedia Gal-leryrdquo a set of three movements for flute
viola and harp based on stock characters from the Commedia dellrsquoArte a popu-lar theatrical form that was influential in Europe for over 300 years Commedia characters improvised dialogue around set scenarios generally involving the struggles of young lovers to overcome hindrances to their romance and each character even-tually came to have a consistent set of at-tributes in speech mannerisms and cos-tume
Earnestrsquos ldquoGalleryrdquo gives us Arlecchi-no (Harlequin) an acrobatic and devious jester Pierrot the classic sad clown and finally Scaramouche a dandy and a brag-gart who is a coward at heart
in anticipation of this yearrsquos festival i am reminded of the scene in ldquoThe Music Manrdquo in which the town awaits the ar-rival of the Wells Fargo Wagon Potentially heaped with gifts and surprises it prom-ises connection to the larger world The WWCMF brings us all ldquosomethinrsquo specialrdquo mdash an enrichment of our community and our culture

Smith has gardened for years at his home at 38 Mulberry Court in College Place He used to grow vegetables and flowers now he is strictly focusing on flowers mdash with fabulous results roses delphiniums and lots of irises line the fence
ldquoirises mdash irsquove always enjoyed themrdquo he says ldquoThey take a little bit of weeding and watering but not much morerdquo itrsquos the gardenerrsquos dream mdash low maintenance with a big return
A retired orthopedic surgeon Smith has in the past gardened more extensively than he does now But he has enough plants to keep him busy His new project is planting more of the reblooming iris These are still hardy but you get twice the reward they bloom in the spring then again in the fall
ldquoTheyrsquore easy to grow and spectacular for a short time iris take less care than a lot of thingsrdquo Smith says
His secret for gardening is simple and therersquos no getting around it ldquoTime and workrdquo he laughs
Hersquos getting ready to start in the garden ldquoi need to clean out the leaves and the old foliage of the irisrdquo
in addition to the basic cleaning and maintenance Smith just decides how many plants to keep Bulb flowers are hardy and they multiply on their own
ldquoAfter five years you usually have to separate the bulbs when they get too thick i donrsquot have room to add more i put in the new re-blooming onesrdquo he explains ldquoi may add more and a few other thingsrdquo
But in a garden you can always try something new or rearrange existing plants often with a spectacular outcome

itrsquos an odd location since it can only be seen as yoursquore leaving town but it always makes me smile This valley my adopted home is indeed a great place to be
i recently finished reading the great Western writer Wallace Stegnerrsquos book ldquoThe Sound of Mountain Waterrdquo One of his essays traces his nomadic childhood which left him feeling rootless and without a place that he felt he could call home
i identify with his feeling of not belonging i was born to a single woman from Massachusetts in a New york City hospital i stayed a scant few days before being placed with an adoption agency Born in a place i had no familial connection to i was immediately deprived of my biological family Most of my childhood was spent in suburban Cleveland Ohio Moves to upstate New york New England and Pennsylvania brought me no closer to calling any place home i loved living in the western Massachusetts town of Stockbridge but the multigenerational denizens of the town left few openings for newcomers like me i lived in central Pennsylvania for several decades but felt detached from the deep roots that most people had in the area
When we came west (for my husband a homecoming to his Oregon roots for me a new experience) i noticed that even in long-established towns like Walla Walla there is ample room for newcomers who want to be
part of the community And most folks who choose to come here donrsquot seem to want to change the valley they prefer to embrace it
While the occasional newbie whines about the lack of Whole Foods or Nordstrom they soon discover our farmers markets the wide variety of local shops and boutiques and our world-class restaurants They fall in love with our charming downtowns the small-town friendliness of the people and our kid-friendly environment Then therersquos the holiday parade the fair the ever-present Blue Mountains the parks the museums the wineries mdash really whatrsquos not to like The communities of our valley represent America at its best
irsquom a newspaper junkie i love to read everything from news to sports to classifieds mdash even the obituaries The obits are a fascinating window on our valley Many of the people chronicled were born here some lived all their lives here inextricably bound to this place But a number of people came here from other places often far away and have made a mark on our area Which makes me wonder mdash is a place any less of a hometown because you choose it or is it based primarily on the happenstance of your birth it seems that therersquos room for both paths to calling this wonderful valley home
itrsquos also our strength because collectively as a community we bring both deep familial and cultural traditions as well as the fresh perspective of newcomers to our area irsquom glad mdash after decades of searching mdash that i finally found my hometown a place that feels just right

Play is important in Walla Walla the play will truly be the thing when Shakespeare Walla Walla presents ldquoThe Merry Wives of Windsorrdquo at the newly restored Power House Theatre this month Lifestyles is teaming up with SWW for an inaugural event that will offer guests food fashion and merriment in the Elizabethan manner May 18 Check out our cover spread for a preview of the event
Winston Churchill may have described golf best when he said it ldquois a game whose aim is to hit a very small ball into an even smaller hole with weapons singularly ill-designed for the purposerdquo
So if you are going to pursue the sport it makes sense to get the best coaching possible Al Mundle who spent 57 years helping others improve their games thought he had put tinkering with other peoplersquos grip stance and swing away for good But that was before Terri Hanson convinced him to offer some pointers to her son Jake who was heading into his final year on the links for the Walla Walla High School Blue Devils
Jim Buchan shows you how this relationship has worked
Work to a lot of people can be repetitious drudgery Larry Adams never had that problem Whether he was flying into enemy fire in vietnam or piloting a helicopter for the president each day challenged his skills and preparation Adams recounts some of those adventures for Lifestyles
Skill and preparation are necessary ingredients for cooking Gina Medica tells how she learned to make culinary creations from Cuba Her specialty is a flan dessert
Dr Donald Smithrsquos specialty is creating an eye-catching garden of colorful flowers The iris is a primary element of his palette Check out his creations in Secret Gardens
Columnist Catie Mcintyre Walker explains how the original palette for the LrsquoEcole No 41 wine labels came from a childrsquos watercolor As the winery has matured it has decided it was time to update the labels

Born in Miami and then raised in Central Los Angeles by her Cuban-born parents Medica learned her craft by observing her mother work in the kitchen Of all Medicarsquos culinary creations it is her Cuban flan dessert that receives the most requests
ldquoEveryone in the family would always request it especially my nieces and nephewrdquo Medica says sitting at her dining room table the freshly presented flan resting in front of her ldquoMy bro can easily eat half of itrdquo
And the flan does not remain uneaten for long as i sit down with the Walla Walla businesswoman and her daughter Elizabeth to discuss and taste this delicacy Minutes after we begin our conversation nephew Nick arrives and quickly wolfs down two servings
irsquove already finished my first and am working on my second when we begin our conversation
LifEStyLES With both of your parents being Havana natives did you eat Cuban food exclusively
MEDiCa No but in the early days Thanksgiving was pretty different My mom would fix the turkey but shersquod serve it with black beans and white rice Wersquod be ldquoAh mom canrsquot we have regular Thanksgiving food like mashed potatoes and yamsrdquo Those came later as we lived in the States longer
LifEStyLES So the food changed as you kids grew older
MEDiCa Well my mom was always pretty good at American food but sometimes it wasnrsquot all the way like she made American spaghetti but she put chicken in it it was good but my brother would always complain that it didnrsquot have meatballs Now he misses the chicken
LifEStyLES How many kids do you have in the family
MEDiCa i have an older brother and a younger sister irsquom the middle one We didnrsquot have a normal childhood in the sense that my mom was a hairstylist at home and on Saturday mornings customers would start arriving at 8 And she had one of those big old hair dryers

that you put over someonersquos head mdash we called it ldquoFidel Castrordquo mdash and yoursquod have these customers yelling at the top of their voice while they were under it So i never got to sleep in
LifEStyLES it sounds like your mother was quite a lady
MEDiCa i recently found some of her original recipes you know in her own handwriting One of them is for croquetta which was really good you take chicken with corned beef and grind them up bread it and then fry it itrsquos really goodrdquo
LifEStyLES Why do you like the flan so much
MEDiCa Because everyone in the family always requested it i make it a little different The way i make it it is a little more creamy because i use cream cheese itrsquos more like a custard Many times in Mexican restaurants the flan will be more jello-y This is almost like cheesecake
LifEStyLES is it strictly for dessert
MEDiCa yes itrsquos for special occasions
LifEStyLES Like birthdays and parties
MEDiCa yes itrsquos not light you canrsquot have too much or your stomach will start to ache
LifEStyLES Does it take a long time to prepare
MEDiCa Not really Making the caramel sauce takes the most time and you canrsquot take your eyes off it or it might burn
LifEStyLES Tastes like it didnrsquot burn
MEDiCa No i had lots of help My daughter Elizabeth (and she glances over at her youngest child) helped me a lot

The old Frenchtown schoolhouse built in 1915 with the stately bell tower still stands it has been a historic fixture in the Walla Walla valley that many of us have grown up with even if we never attended classes there One can still stride up the long sidewalk to the large heavy carved doors with a feeling of reverence and trepidation mdash as if it were the first day of school mdash while imagining generations of children playing on the manicured grounds
in the 1970s the old schoolhouse classrooms found themselves empty of childrenrsquos laughter But in 1983 Jean and Baker Ferguson breathed new life into the old building founding what would become one of the premier wineries in Washington LrsquoEcole No 41
The name was historically im-portant in two ways ldquoLrsquoEcolerdquo French for ldquothe schoolrdquo recognized the French men and women who settled the area and ldquo41rdquo was the numerical designation of the school district
The Fergusonsrsquo first crush of 1983 was resting in the barrel when the following year they asked their elementary school-aged family members to draw an image that would best reflect the new project
The $100 prize went to an 8-year-old cousin whose watercolor interpretation of the old schoolhouse became the template for a wine label it became an iconic label known to wine lovers around the world
in 1989 the second generation of the family Jean and Bakerrsquos daughter and son-
in-law Megan and Martin (Marty) Clubb became the new proprietors of the winery Marty became the general manager and winemaker and would lead the small artisan winery to new heights mdash it would eventually produce more than 30000 cases annually
At the same time the Washington state wine industry was booming and would soon become the nationrsquos second-largest wine producer The area would become one of the premium wine-producing regions in the United States
Marty also became a pioneer in the

Washington state wine industry as he became a founder and activist in many of the wine industryrsquos foundations and alliances The family-owned winery also partnered with some of the most prestigious vineyards in the state LrsquoEcole No 41 has been honored nine consecutive years by Wine amp Spirits magazine as ldquoWinery of the yearrdquo becoming the second Washington winery inducted into the Hall of Fame
There is a third-generation that has grown up around the winery and will eventually become caretakers of this legacy Meganrsquos and Martyrsquos children Jeanrsquos and Bakerrsquos grandchildren rebecca and riley Clubb had their own meaningful influence on the label with their childhood drawings on the labelrsquos chalkboard image
riley is a 2009 graduate of Whitman College and is employed at the winery rebecca is enrolled in Washington State Universityrsquos wine management program and expected to graduate in 2012
The winery will soon celebrate its 30th birthday The wines produced at the old schoolhouse are refined with true varietal character and can stand up against many coveted wines from France mdash and they have Now that LrsquoEcole is a top player in the world of wine the whimsical label on its bottles is no longer truly indicative of the sophisticated gold and dark-red liquids behind the glass
ldquoLooking to the future we wanted our label to reflect the winery we have becomerdquo says Marty Clubb
This year the winery will unveil a new label it will still depict the iconic schoolhouse but with deeper colors and a new texture There will be a distinct difference among the labels depending on the vineyards used Wines produced from Columbia valley vineyards will have a soft charcoal-colored background label and the labels for the wines produced from Walla Walla vineyards will be more sepia-toned
Another distinctive change will be the de-emphasizing of the ldquoNo 41rdquo as generations of wine lovers have often referred to the winery as ldquoLrsquoEcolerdquo
The new label will be a timeless reminder of the past as well as a welcome to future generations

it was 1954 the year he graduated from the University of Oregon and two female students from the university were interested in learning some of the finer points of the game
ldquoit was probably the worst lesson anybody has ever givenrdquo Mundle exclaimed shaking his head in dismay ldquoThese two young ladies were looking for some help and i worked with them for an hour-and-a-half And at the end of that time i said lsquoi have done such a poor job i will pay you for the time i have put you through this torturersquordquo

Painful as it was the lesson learned proved to be a career-launching moment for Mundle who dedicated himself to his trade and spent a lifetime in the golf business successfully working up and down the i-5 corridor as course operator teacher and player
Fifty-seven years after that first teaching debacle Mundle now 79 years old is retired and living in Walla Walla He and his wife Ann relocated here last summer determined to give up teaching golf and spend more time playing the game they both love
ldquoAfter all of these years of teaching i feel that this is the time to lay it asiderdquo Mundle said ldquoi will still do a little studying of the golf swing and methods and i will be involved with some of the other local professionals in some cracker-barrel sessions when they get together to discuss teaching methods problems and how to solve them
ldquoBut i really came here not to teach but to play some golfrdquo
That was the plan anyway before he was introduced to Walla Walla High School senior Jake Hanson who was looking for a little extra help with his game heading into his final year on the links as a Blue Devil
Terri Hanson Jakersquos mother was aware of Mundlersquos reputation as a teaching professional and heard through the grapevine he was living in Walla Walla
ldquoBeing the mom i am i called him one dayrdquo Terri remembered ldquoi told him that Jakersquos golf game was at a standstill i asked him to take a look at Jake and he agreed to come and meet us and get a feel for where Jake was at
ldquoHe did and before you knew it they were putting on our hardwood floors The next day they agreed to get together at Wine valley mdash they were there for four hours and it has been an amazing connection right from the beginning
ldquoAl is an amazing Christian man who is so well-respected in his fieldrdquo Terri added ldquoAnd he just demands respect irsquom seeing my son of 17 all of a sudden growing uprdquo
Mundle concedes he is intrigued by Hansonrsquos character and potential And
Under the watchful eye of Al Mundle Jake Hanson hits an iron shot

Hanson holds his new mentor in high esteem
ldquoirsquove learned a tremendous amountrdquo Hanson said ldquoHe has a way of getting through to me in a positive way He got through to me that i am so much better than i thought i could be He has more confidence in me than i have in myself
ldquoHe has one of the best golf swings i have ever seen and he is still working on his own gamerdquo
Mundle said Hanson reminds him of former University of Oregon player Ben Crane who now plays on the PGA Tour Crane has been playing professionally since 2007 and earned nearly $3 million on the tour in 2010
ldquoi was Benrsquos swing coach at Oregon and Jake is somewhat similarrdquo Mundle said ldquoBen worked harder than anybody on the whole golf team He would put in as much
time as three or four others combined and Jake is very much the same way Hersquos very dedicatedrdquo
However Mundle insists that helping Hanson with his game is a one-time situation
After playing just six rounds of golf last year Mundle is determined that he and Ann will spend a lot more time on the golf course as they get acquainted with their new hometown
ldquoThatrsquos an all-time lowrdquo he said of the six rounds played in 2010 ldquoMostly it was the move and all mdash a new house putting in lawn fencing shelving in the garage mdash all the little things of getting settled
ldquoBut this was a good move for us We love it here We enjoy the weather and the people you can walk down the street and people look you in the eye and say lsquoHellorsquo i love that friendlinessrdquo
Mundle grew up in Eugene and graduated from University High School in 1950 He knew he said from the time he was in the seventh grade he wanted to make golf his lifersquos work
ldquoyou might say that i had a little parental directionrdquo Mundle said ldquoMy dad went to the University of St Andrews in Scotland and he played golf at the St Andrews Old Course And my mother also played golfrdquo
After high school Mundle enrolled at the University of Oregon and played three years of varsity golf during an era when there was no such thing as a golf scholarship
ldquoThe only thing we ever received was a half-a-dozen golf balls if we went into a tournamentrdquo Mundle recalled ldquoWhen i went to the NCAA Championships in Texas my senior year i was given a new

pair of golf shoes but that was itldquoWe bought all of our own gear mdash
clubs bags rain gear everything itrsquos a whole different ball game today They have everythingrdquo
At the end of his sophomore year at Oregon Mundle had it in his mind to ldquotest my golf on the PGA Tourrdquo he said But his father an English professor at the university discouraged him
ldquoHe said lsquoGet your education first then you can do whatever you wantrsquordquo Mundle said ldquoit was just as well i saved a lot of wear and tear mdash and money i was an Ok player but not of that caliberrdquo
Mundle still has fond memories of his collegiate playing career however
ldquoi played three years for the university mdash you werenrsquot allowed to play as freshmen mdash and Oregon always had fine golf teamsrdquo Mundle said ldquoit was mostly match
play then and i was there during the time that the school went seven straight years without losing a (team) dual matchrdquo
During his senior year Mundle qualified for the NCAA Championships in Houston From a field of about 160 players Mundle made it as far as the quarterfinal round
He graduated in 1954 with a degree in history which he said he never really used
ldquoMy dad was in the top one percent of his class at St Andrewsrdquo Mundle said ldquoMy mother was also in the top part of her class and my older brother Pete was in the top of his class And then i came alongrdquo
His first golf job was as an assistant pro at his home course the Laurelwood Golf Course a position he accepted shortly after graduating from UO This was when and where the infamous first golf lesson
occurredA two-year stint in the US Army took
Mundle away from his profession in 1955-56 But he managed to keep his golf game sharp as a member of the Fort knox golf team and in 1956 he was the runner-up in the Second Army tournament and he placed 13th in the All-Army tournament
Then it was back to the Willamette valley where he came into his own in the Portland area under head professionals Eddie Hogan at riverside Country Club and Bunny Mason at Columbia Edgewater
ldquoThose two people were very influential in my professional liferdquo Mundle said
ldquoEddie was a very fine teacher of the total golf operation and service was No 1 i learned how to run the pro shop how
Jake Hanson takes a few pointers on chipping from his instructor and mentor Al Mundle
Continued on pg 20 gt
20 Walla Walla LifestyLes
people ltcontinued from pg 19
to market and merchandise mdash everything from how to run the club service program to the electric cart program to basically running the golf course
ldquoBunny was also a very fine operator of a golf shop and i also learned a lot about teaching from Bunny Sometimes you go along in life and there are certain mentors who help you along the way Anybody who says they made it by themselves is not being honest with themselves We have all had someone who has given us a little boost along the wayrdquo
Mundle took his first head professional job in 1965 at Overlake Golf and Country Club in Bellevue where he remained until 1981 At that point he returned to Eugene and was the head pro at the Eugene Country Club for three years followed by a six-year stint at the Bear Creek Country Club in Seattle
He also spent a short time at a golf course in Cottage Grove Ore before moving back to Eugene for a third time in 1993 to become the director of golf instruction at the river ridge Golf Course He remained at river ridge until his retirement last summer During his time there he helped out as the swing coach at UO under then-head coach Steve Nosler
Through it all Mundle served as president of the Washington PGA and the Pacific Northwest PGA and was a member of several National PGA committees As a player he participated in the Oregon Washington and Pacific Northwest opens as well as the Washington and Oregon PGA events One of his highlights was winning the Oregon Senior PGA Match-Play Championships in Bend in 1993
ldquoi felt i had an obligation to participaterdquo Mundle said ldquoi played a lot of golf including many many pro-ams and i won a couple of assistant championshipsrdquo
in addition to Crane Mundle also helped shape the careers of Jeff Quinney and Eric Johnson both of whom are from the Eugene area
Quinney won the United States Amateur championship in 2000 and represented the US in the Walker Cup in 2001 He has appeared in 128 PGA Tour events since 2007 placing second twice and third twice
Johnson played several years on the Asian Tour and one on the Nationwide Tour He is now a head professional at a

course in San rafael CalifldquoAnd there have been some others mdash
Brian Henninger Mike Gove a few others mdash who have called and wanted to discus their swingrdquo Mundle said ldquoNothing on a regular basis just one or two sessionsrdquo
is Hanson his next mdash and perhaps his last mdash prodigy
Thatrsquos a tricky question since Hanson came to golf late after a budding baseball career was derailed by a shoulder injury He was a first-team all-Big Nine Conference golf selection as a junior but has yet to qualify for state and his summer resume is thin because of his baseball background
Hansonrsquos original plan was to attend Walla Walla Community College and play golf for the Warriors with the hope of earning an NCAA Division i scholarship But he has since decided to enroll in Arizona State Universityrsquos Professional Golf Management program and try out for the ASU golf team as a walk on
ldquoMore than anything i think it came down to him evaluating his goalsrdquo said Jakersquos father Gary Hanson ldquoitrsquos everyonersquos dream to play on the PGA Tour but realistically he wants to be a golf pro and teach He loves
the gamerdquoAnd a degree in the PGM program
will provide Jake with the educational background he needs to be successful in any form of business his father added
Though his chances of making the ASU varsity team seem unlikely the PGM program provides a club golf team that participates in a series of tournaments throughout the year and gives Hanson a second playing option
And keeping your options open is optimum at this point Mundle said
ldquoi think his driving force at this time mdash and also his folks mdash is to get his education And then he can do whatever he wants if he doesnrsquot go into (the golfing business) immediately he will always have it as a backuprdquo
Sounds an awful lot like the advice Thomas Mundle offered his son back in the spring of 1952 when Al Mundle wanted to leave school after his sophomore year and test his wings on the PGA Tour And as we now know all these years later staying in school worked out pretty well for Al

T H E A T R EPOWER HOUSE
My director Terry Edward Moore told me his only direction from the artistic director was that it be ldquoperiodrdquo that is to say authentic to the time
ldquoMerry Wivesrdquo is the only one of Shakespearersquos plays that is set in his own time so it was decided to present it as if the actors were people of the time doing what would be a contemporary (to the late 16th century) play
i started to research the clothing of the time how it was constructed and what kinds of fabrics were available at the time mdash linens homespuns woolens for the common people and silks damasks velvets and furs for the upper classes i discovered that Elizabethan society was strictly regulated in terms of social classes and upward mobility was a little-known concept Once a yeoman always a yeoman i also discovered the set of rules and regulations called ldquosumptuary lawsrdquo which specifically dictated what types of fabrics trims furs and even what colors each class was allowed to wear
Since there are three distinct classes represented in ldquoMerry Wivesrdquo mdash merchant class soldiers and servants mdash i tried to give each class its own color palette based on these laws The overall palette of the show is based on colors actually in use at the time
The availability of dyes was limited (except for the nobility) so the palette consists of many shades of yellows and browns russets black some greens and blue-grays and of course wheat-colored unbleached linen i turned to the Dutch painter Brueghel for inspiration on how the common people looked and dressed
i also researched what kinds of dyes were used and where they came from Dyes were created from all sorts of different things such as walnut shell crushed beetles and all kinds of roots i found a website that sells these authentic dyestuffs so irsquom using the real thing to dye some of the linen pieces and will coordinate the contemporary fabrics to these authentic colors
Nearly every piece will need something done to it mdash altered in some way to fit the actor re-trimmed rigged invisibly for quick changes etc mdash so there is a lot of labor involved Also hats were a hugely important part of Elizabethan fashion all the way down to the poorest serf
Certain styles of hats were often associated with certain professions mdash eg doctors scholars mdash so there are a number of hats to build as well as headpieces for the women No self-respecting woman went about with her head uncovered
Putting together a show like this is like putting together a giant jigsaw puzzle and the pieces are the costumes that irsquove borrowed and rented from other theater companies in the Seattle area such as Seattle repertory Seattle Opera and the University of Washington as well as pieces from Oregon Shakespeare Festival i design the show and then go out into the world and try to find pieces that approximate my designs and palette as closely as possible (usually with some reworking first) The pieces that i cant find and dont want to compromise on i build from scratch

But thatrsquos exactly what longtime Walla Walla resident Larry Adams did for four years He was one of a select group of pilots for Marine One the helicopter counterpart of the presidential airplane Air Force One from 1970 to 1974

Long before Adams became the Walla Walla Airport manager he was transporting heads of state foreign dignitaries famous (and now infamous) Cabinet members the executive staff and President richard M Nixon during one of the nationrsquos most turbulent times the withdrawal from vietnam and the Watergate scandal
But to Adams a native of Northern idaho all that swirled around the Nixon presidency was the least of his concerns His job was to transport the president safely to Andrews Air Force Base or Camp David or fly any short flight required Safety always at a premium End of story
Many times Adams ferried President Nixon and his staff on short flights far away from home Air Force One might fly President Nixon to a summit or a meeting with a foreign head of state but Marine One and Adams were always nearby to shuttle the chief executive on short flights or to whisk him away from sudden danger
Pretty heady stuff for a fourth-grade teacher who had never thought about flying until a Marine recruiter offered him the opportunity Although Adams had watched planes take off and land at a nearby air base as a child he had never given serious thought to flying it was more a need for a bigger paycheck than passion that brought Adams to his destiny
He liked teaching but it just wasnrsquot paying the bills So Adams turned to the military and the Gi Bill After being unimpressed by other recruiters Adams took a liking to the fellow from the Marines for as Adams recalls the recruiter took an interest in him After about an hour of talking the recruiter suggested Adams might have the potential to be a pilot
Having easily passed some preliminary tests Adams was sent to flight school in Pensacola Fla and a stellar career was ready to take off He performed well in all the aircraft he piloted but he showed a special skill for helicopters
Up until 1965 fixed-wing airplanes were the staple of all military air combat But the military had been gearing up for a big change The helicopter was to become a major part of combat The Pentagon had been developing helicopters that would do much more than transport troops to bases Now they would assist in bombing
raids ground attacks and the evacuation of the injured from the point of combat This new breed of helicopters would also possess the ability to fight back and not be lame ducks as before the new H34 would tote machine guns on each side
These cutting-edge aircraft would travel at unprecedented speeds with newly discovered agility Gifted pilots were needed not those who merely possessed superior technical skills but those who also had the composure to fly straight into
enemy fire in the dead of night picking up injured soldiers or aiding air attacks
Adams was one of those pilots and he would be one of two squadron leaders for ldquoOperation Starliterdquo mdash the first major assault using helicopters The Marines were going straight into a North vietnamese regimental stronghold No one knew what to expect
ldquoWe lost a lot that first time inrdquo says Adams ldquoTwo crew chiefs were killed
Continued on pg 32 gt
In this newspaper clipping Larry Adams poses on the steps of the helicopter dubbed Marine One which he piloted for President Richard M Nixon

people ltcontinued from pg 31
four pilots were medevaced out because of their wounds i donrsquot think there was one helicopter that didnrsquot have a bunch of holes in it The one i flew in we got a lot of rounds in it Amazingly no one was hurt but when we got back the helicopter was so shot-up you couldnrsquot fly it anymore We lost 50 percent of our helicopters that dayrdquo
in the next 13 months Adams would fly many more missions often heading straight into anti-aircraft fire to pick up injured or killed soldiers He says he would see the flares signifying where the copter was supposed to land but frequently hersquod have to veer off because ground communication would say ldquoThe artillery is too hotrdquo Then there would be a window maybe two minutes maybe five when the helicopter could drop in and pick up the injured often being shot at as it waited for its passengers
Adams knew the best way to survive was to keep his focus ldquoin the daylight when you start your run in and yoursquore getting shot at Everything went to black and white for me i didnrsquot notice the green trees or the green rice paddies until we got out of there and then it would come back
to me i donrsquot know what that was i just didnrsquot see the colors irsquove talked to some other pilots and they described the same thingrdquo
in his two tours of duty in vietnam Adams would fly 880 combat missions in several types of helicopters and fixed-wing airplanes He received numerous medals including two Navy commendations for performance under combat conditions
Then the call came to fly for the president Before Adams could tote the commander in chief around in Marine One a thorough background check had to be done So thorough was the check that Adams said a friend from his hometown sent him a card that read ldquoAre you in some kind of trouble Jesus therersquos been a bunch of people around here with the dark grey suits and the skinny little ties Theyrsquore asking all these embarrassing questions about you like did you have drinking problem Did you have a gambling problem Do you know what Larryrsquos sexual preference wasrdquo
Adams chuckles ldquoit was pretty funnyrdquoAdams passed the grade and soon
he was flying President Nixon and his family to Camp David or picking up vice
President Spiro Agnew at the Pentagon or taking Secretary of State Henry kissinger or Secretary of Defense Alexander Haig to a classified meeting Although his flights varied from transporting foreign heads of state to flying members of the press the majority involved the president the vice president kissinger and Haig
The pilots did not speak to their travelers unless spoken to says Adams President Nixon usually looked in and asked them how they were kissinger never spoke Haig was good for a pat on the shoulder now and then but it was Agnew who conversed the most says Adams
Adams remembers ldquoOne time we picked him up at the Pentagon and we had taken off and had hit top altitude He usually would come up and look into the cockpit but this time he patted me on the shoulder and asked lsquoWell howrsquos it going today guysrsquordquo Adams replied ldquoNot bad sir and how about yourselfrdquo
Agnew answered ldquoMan they are really after my assrdquo He was talking about the press Adams says ldquoTwo weeks later he resignedrdquo
Adams recalls that his encounters with Agnew as defying the public perception
Adams far right gives instructions before a mission in Vietnam
Walla Walla LifestyLes 33
that Agnew was arrogant ldquoHe was always one of the nicest guys He was straightforward He looked like he had just stepped off the cover of Gentlemenrsquos Quarterly all the time He was very proper in the way he dressed but he had a sense of humor as wellrdquo
There were other humorous moments Adams recalls a certain reporter from CBS who had been a major thorn in President Nixonrsquos side was late for takeoff from the South Lawn of the White House one morning Just as Marine One was about to leave without him he came running across the lawn hollering and waving his arms The Secret Service agent supervising the flight told Adams to ldquojust gordquo The wind from the propellers whipped the reporterrsquos toupee right off his head and instead of continuing his run toward Marine One he reversed his field and tried feverishly to retrieve his toupee snagged in the hedges
ldquoEveryone got a pretty good chuckle out of thatrdquo
Of course there were somber times At one point Adams flew Cabinet members John Ehrlichman and Hr Haldeman to Camp David for a meeting with the president After only 15 minutes the two men returned and Marine One headed home Adams says it was a quiet flight He found out later the two men had been fired by President Nixon for their parts in the Watergate scandal
Whisking the president away from danger was a major part of being a pilot of Marine One Stationed across the river from the Capitol pilots awakened by an emergency alert had to be up in the air in five minutes This exercise was practiced often though never needed during Adamsrsquo tenure
One night however they thought it was The operator at the White House mistakenly hit the ldquoAlertrdquo button Marine One was in the air in five minutes
Although ground control had not spotted any enemy aircraft the operation was under way As Marine One closed in on the White House the operator at fault tried to alert everyone of his mistake but unfortunately used a poor choice of words to call off the operation
Adams chuckles as he says ldquoThe fella said lsquoThis is not an exercisersquo He was moved to another post i thinkrdquo
All levity aside the position required
the same kind of focus demanded of Adams in vietnam though it came in a different form
ldquoThere were three things the way you operated the aircraft and they were in this order safety comfort and speed Safety never gave in to comfort or speedrdquo says Adams ldquoOur job was just concentrating on doing our job it could have been anybody mdash we would do it the same way it could have been Fred Flintstone
ldquoThe difference between flying for the White House and in vietnam was we were flying a premier aircraft We had to keep it impeccably clean everything was scripted We had to have the lsquoopen-the-door timersquo down to two to four seconds in vietnam it was the stress of performing medevacs under fire or dropping troops under heavy artillery For Marine One it was the stress of doing the job rightrdquo
Also the stress of being away from onersquos family 200 days of the year wore on a Marine One pilot in 1974 after four years on the job the toll became too much and Adams stepped down
He would stay with the Marines for eight more years retiring in August 1982
By then he had received 44 Air Medals including the Joint Service Commendation and the Presidential Service Badge in his 20 years of service Adams flew seven different helicopters and five different fixed-wing planes
What makes an elite military pilot ldquoPilots who donrsquot have any misgivingsrdquo says Adams ldquoTheyrsquore totally prepared they know their aircraftrdquo
When talking about his colleagues on Marine One he adds ldquoNone were boasters They might brag about a great landing but they did not brag in spite of someone elserdquo
What did Adams love most about his flying days ldquoi enjoyed flying with the latest technology and the pristine quality of Marine One i loved the process of building my skills i could have flown another 40 years and i would still be learning thingsrdquo
is it any surprise his favorite hobby now is fly fishing

it is astonishing in many ways mdash that we are presented with two weeks of top-drawer music performed by top-drawer musi-cians that there are so many ways to encounter the music (many of them free) and that a rural community has provided the incu-
bator for such a cultural undertaking to name but a fewGranted we are not your average rural community having two
colleges a university a symphony a choral society a community band and music in the schools but letrsquos face it wersquore not exactly a cosmopolitan center of culture like New york either The Cham-ber Music Festival mdash and our continued support of it through some tough times mdash puts us in a category all our own

worked hard to start this event and to my great joy it has taken on an iden-tity of its own i hire the musicians and choose the music but the town its people and its environs make the festivalrdquo
The beauty of chamber music is its intimacy mdash smaller ensembles performing for smaller audiences it has been referred to as ldquothe music of friendsrdquo which seems so apt at this festival Free open rehearsals are held around town that provide not only a musical atmosphere in which to enjoy a latte or the ambiance of the kirkman House but which give a richer look into the machinations of a working ensemble
As one enthusiastic fan puts it ldquoi am not a musician and itrsquos fascinat-ing to watch these rehearsals to see the interactions of the musicians as they work out the snags make wry remarks and relate to each other in a whole different way than during a for-mal performance i get a glimpse into their personalities and what makes them tickrdquo
The festival supplies a generous of-fering of venues with free concerts for children and families relaxed evening programs at wineries and full concerts at the Foundry Chism Hall and Day-tonrsquos Liberty Theater
if you are lucky enough to live near the musiciansrsquo lodgings while they are in town you may also be treated to an ad hoc front-porch concert as the ensembles continue their rehearsals in more private settings The festival is about all of these ways mdash planned and accidental mdash to experience the enchantment of chamber music
it is also about historic continuity and the connection between past and present mdash relishing the existing canon while expanding the genre with con-temporary forms and voices
How is this accomplished in part by the annual commission of a new piece of music for the festival Chris-tie is committed to contributing to the broader chamber music repertoire and to providing the audience with the richest possible experience

ldquoFor classical music to be relevant there must be a conversation between the music of our time and the music of the pastrdquo he says
By commissioning a work for the festi-val each year Christie creates such a con-versation
This year the commission was given to John David Earnest Four festival commis-sions have preceded his and he is the sec-ond ldquolocalrdquo composer to be tapped add-ing another layer of relationship between community and event (in 2009 Whitman College professor David Glenn was given the nod)
As visiting adjunct professor of music at Whitman Earnest resides here for six weeks every semester His ldquoSecond Sym-phonyrdquo was written for and performed by the Walla Walla Symphony in October 2001
The challenge for the yearly commis-sionee is to compose a piece on demand within specific constraints of time place and instrumentation while expressing hisher own voice as an artist
Earnest has created ldquoCommedia Gal-leryrdquo a set of three movements for flute
viola and harp based on stock characters from the Commedia dellrsquoArte a popu-lar theatrical form that was influential in Europe for over 300 years Commedia characters improvised dialogue around set scenarios generally involving the struggles of young lovers to overcome hindrances to their romance and each character even-tually came to have a consistent set of at-tributes in speech mannerisms and cos-tume
Earnestrsquos ldquoGalleryrdquo gives us Arlecchi-no (Harlequin) an acrobatic and devious jester Pierrot the classic sad clown and finally Scaramouche a dandy and a brag-gart who is a coward at heart
in anticipation of this yearrsquos festival i am reminded of the scene in ldquoThe Music Manrdquo in which the town awaits the ar-rival of the Wells Fargo Wagon Potentially heaped with gifts and surprises it prom-ises connection to the larger world The WWCMF brings us all ldquosomethinrsquo specialrdquo mdash an enrichment of our community and our culture

Smith has gardened for years at his home at 38 Mulberry Court in College Place He used to grow vegetables and flowers now he is strictly focusing on flowers mdash with fabulous results roses delphiniums and lots of irises line the fence
ldquoirises mdash irsquove always enjoyed themrdquo he says ldquoThey take a little bit of weeding and watering but not much morerdquo itrsquos the gardenerrsquos dream mdash low maintenance with a big return
A retired orthopedic surgeon Smith has in the past gardened more extensively than he does now But he has enough plants to keep him busy His new project is planting more of the reblooming iris These are still hardy but you get twice the reward they bloom in the spring then again in the fall
ldquoTheyrsquore easy to grow and spectacular for a short time iris take less care than a lot of thingsrdquo Smith says
His secret for gardening is simple and therersquos no getting around it ldquoTime and workrdquo he laughs
Hersquos getting ready to start in the garden ldquoi need to clean out the leaves and the old foliage of the irisrdquo
in addition to the basic cleaning and maintenance Smith just decides how many plants to keep Bulb flowers are hardy and they multiply on their own
ldquoAfter five years you usually have to separate the bulbs when they get too thick i donrsquot have room to add more i put in the new re-blooming onesrdquo he explains ldquoi may add more and a few other thingsrdquo
But in a garden you can always try something new or rearrange existing plants often with a spectacular outcome

itrsquos an odd location since it can only be seen as yoursquore leaving town but it always makes me smile This valley my adopted home is indeed a great place to be
i recently finished reading the great Western writer Wallace Stegnerrsquos book ldquoThe Sound of Mountain Waterrdquo One of his essays traces his nomadic childhood which left him feeling rootless and without a place that he felt he could call home
i identify with his feeling of not belonging i was born to a single woman from Massachusetts in a New york City hospital i stayed a scant few days before being placed with an adoption agency Born in a place i had no familial connection to i was immediately deprived of my biological family Most of my childhood was spent in suburban Cleveland Ohio Moves to upstate New york New England and Pennsylvania brought me no closer to calling any place home i loved living in the western Massachusetts town of Stockbridge but the multigenerational denizens of the town left few openings for newcomers like me i lived in central Pennsylvania for several decades but felt detached from the deep roots that most people had in the area
When we came west (for my husband a homecoming to his Oregon roots for me a new experience) i noticed that even in long-established towns like Walla Walla there is ample room for newcomers who want to be
part of the community And most folks who choose to come here donrsquot seem to want to change the valley they prefer to embrace it
While the occasional newbie whines about the lack of Whole Foods or Nordstrom they soon discover our farmers markets the wide variety of local shops and boutiques and our world-class restaurants They fall in love with our charming downtowns the small-town friendliness of the people and our kid-friendly environment Then therersquos the holiday parade the fair the ever-present Blue Mountains the parks the museums the wineries mdash really whatrsquos not to like The communities of our valley represent America at its best
irsquom a newspaper junkie i love to read everything from news to sports to classifieds mdash even the obituaries The obits are a fascinating window on our valley Many of the people chronicled were born here some lived all their lives here inextricably bound to this place But a number of people came here from other places often far away and have made a mark on our area Which makes me wonder mdash is a place any less of a hometown because you choose it or is it based primarily on the happenstance of your birth it seems that therersquos room for both paths to calling this wonderful valley home
itrsquos also our strength because collectively as a community we bring both deep familial and cultural traditions as well as the fresh perspective of newcomers to our area irsquom glad mdash after decades of searching mdash that i finally found my hometown a place that feels just right

Born in Miami and then raised in Central Los Angeles by her Cuban-born parents Medica learned her craft by observing her mother work in the kitchen Of all Medicarsquos culinary creations it is her Cuban flan dessert that receives the most requests
ldquoEveryone in the family would always request it especially my nieces and nephewrdquo Medica says sitting at her dining room table the freshly presented flan resting in front of her ldquoMy bro can easily eat half of itrdquo
And the flan does not remain uneaten for long as i sit down with the Walla Walla businesswoman and her daughter Elizabeth to discuss and taste this delicacy Minutes after we begin our conversation nephew Nick arrives and quickly wolfs down two servings
irsquove already finished my first and am working on my second when we begin our conversation
LifEStyLES With both of your parents being Havana natives did you eat Cuban food exclusively
MEDiCa No but in the early days Thanksgiving was pretty different My mom would fix the turkey but shersquod serve it with black beans and white rice Wersquod be ldquoAh mom canrsquot we have regular Thanksgiving food like mashed potatoes and yamsrdquo Those came later as we lived in the States longer
LifEStyLES So the food changed as you kids grew older
MEDiCa Well my mom was always pretty good at American food but sometimes it wasnrsquot all the way like she made American spaghetti but she put chicken in it it was good but my brother would always complain that it didnrsquot have meatballs Now he misses the chicken
LifEStyLES How many kids do you have in the family
MEDiCa i have an older brother and a younger sister irsquom the middle one We didnrsquot have a normal childhood in the sense that my mom was a hairstylist at home and on Saturday mornings customers would start arriving at 8 And she had one of those big old hair dryers

that you put over someonersquos head mdash we called it ldquoFidel Castrordquo mdash and yoursquod have these customers yelling at the top of their voice while they were under it So i never got to sleep in
LifEStyLES it sounds like your mother was quite a lady
MEDiCa i recently found some of her original recipes you know in her own handwriting One of them is for croquetta which was really good you take chicken with corned beef and grind them up bread it and then fry it itrsquos really goodrdquo
LifEStyLES Why do you like the flan so much
MEDiCa Because everyone in the family always requested it i make it a little different The way i make it it is a little more creamy because i use cream cheese itrsquos more like a custard Many times in Mexican restaurants the flan will be more jello-y This is almost like cheesecake
LifEStyLES is it strictly for dessert
MEDiCa yes itrsquos for special occasions
LifEStyLES Like birthdays and parties
MEDiCa yes itrsquos not light you canrsquot have too much or your stomach will start to ache
LifEStyLES Does it take a long time to prepare
MEDiCa Not really Making the caramel sauce takes the most time and you canrsquot take your eyes off it or it might burn
LifEStyLES Tastes like it didnrsquot burn
MEDiCa No i had lots of help My daughter Elizabeth (and she glances over at her youngest child) helped me a lot

The old Frenchtown schoolhouse built in 1915 with the stately bell tower still stands it has been a historic fixture in the Walla Walla valley that many of us have grown up with even if we never attended classes there One can still stride up the long sidewalk to the large heavy carved doors with a feeling of reverence and trepidation mdash as if it were the first day of school mdash while imagining generations of children playing on the manicured grounds
in the 1970s the old schoolhouse classrooms found themselves empty of childrenrsquos laughter But in 1983 Jean and Baker Ferguson breathed new life into the old building founding what would become one of the premier wineries in Washington LrsquoEcole No 41
The name was historically im-portant in two ways ldquoLrsquoEcolerdquo French for ldquothe schoolrdquo recognized the French men and women who settled the area and ldquo41rdquo was the numerical designation of the school district
The Fergusonsrsquo first crush of 1983 was resting in the barrel when the following year they asked their elementary school-aged family members to draw an image that would best reflect the new project
The $100 prize went to an 8-year-old cousin whose watercolor interpretation of the old schoolhouse became the template for a wine label it became an iconic label known to wine lovers around the world
in 1989 the second generation of the family Jean and Bakerrsquos daughter and son-
in-law Megan and Martin (Marty) Clubb became the new proprietors of the winery Marty became the general manager and winemaker and would lead the small artisan winery to new heights mdash it would eventually produce more than 30000 cases annually
At the same time the Washington state wine industry was booming and would soon become the nationrsquos second-largest wine producer The area would become one of the premium wine-producing regions in the United States
Marty also became a pioneer in the

Washington state wine industry as he became a founder and activist in many of the wine industryrsquos foundations and alliances The family-owned winery also partnered with some of the most prestigious vineyards in the state LrsquoEcole No 41 has been honored nine consecutive years by Wine amp Spirits magazine as ldquoWinery of the yearrdquo becoming the second Washington winery inducted into the Hall of Fame
There is a third-generation that has grown up around the winery and will eventually become caretakers of this legacy Meganrsquos and Martyrsquos children Jeanrsquos and Bakerrsquos grandchildren rebecca and riley Clubb had their own meaningful influence on the label with their childhood drawings on the labelrsquos chalkboard image
riley is a 2009 graduate of Whitman College and is employed at the winery rebecca is enrolled in Washington State Universityrsquos wine management program and expected to graduate in 2012
The winery will soon celebrate its 30th birthday The wines produced at the old schoolhouse are refined with true varietal character and can stand up against many coveted wines from France mdash and they have Now that LrsquoEcole is a top player in the world of wine the whimsical label on its bottles is no longer truly indicative of the sophisticated gold and dark-red liquids behind the glass
ldquoLooking to the future we wanted our label to reflect the winery we have becomerdquo says Marty Clubb
This year the winery will unveil a new label it will still depict the iconic schoolhouse but with deeper colors and a new texture There will be a distinct difference among the labels depending on the vineyards used Wines produced from Columbia valley vineyards will have a soft charcoal-colored background label and the labels for the wines produced from Walla Walla vineyards will be more sepia-toned
Another distinctive change will be the de-emphasizing of the ldquoNo 41rdquo as generations of wine lovers have often referred to the winery as ldquoLrsquoEcolerdquo
The new label will be a timeless reminder of the past as well as a welcome to future generations

it was 1954 the year he graduated from the University of Oregon and two female students from the university were interested in learning some of the finer points of the game
ldquoit was probably the worst lesson anybody has ever givenrdquo Mundle exclaimed shaking his head in dismay ldquoThese two young ladies were looking for some help and i worked with them for an hour-and-a-half And at the end of that time i said lsquoi have done such a poor job i will pay you for the time i have put you through this torturersquordquo

Painful as it was the lesson learned proved to be a career-launching moment for Mundle who dedicated himself to his trade and spent a lifetime in the golf business successfully working up and down the i-5 corridor as course operator teacher and player
Fifty-seven years after that first teaching debacle Mundle now 79 years old is retired and living in Walla Walla He and his wife Ann relocated here last summer determined to give up teaching golf and spend more time playing the game they both love
ldquoAfter all of these years of teaching i feel that this is the time to lay it asiderdquo Mundle said ldquoi will still do a little studying of the golf swing and methods and i will be involved with some of the other local professionals in some cracker-barrel sessions when they get together to discuss teaching methods problems and how to solve them
ldquoBut i really came here not to teach but to play some golfrdquo
That was the plan anyway before he was introduced to Walla Walla High School senior Jake Hanson who was looking for a little extra help with his game heading into his final year on the links as a Blue Devil
Terri Hanson Jakersquos mother was aware of Mundlersquos reputation as a teaching professional and heard through the grapevine he was living in Walla Walla
ldquoBeing the mom i am i called him one dayrdquo Terri remembered ldquoi told him that Jakersquos golf game was at a standstill i asked him to take a look at Jake and he agreed to come and meet us and get a feel for where Jake was at
ldquoHe did and before you knew it they were putting on our hardwood floors The next day they agreed to get together at Wine valley mdash they were there for four hours and it has been an amazing connection right from the beginning
ldquoAl is an amazing Christian man who is so well-respected in his fieldrdquo Terri added ldquoAnd he just demands respect irsquom seeing my son of 17 all of a sudden growing uprdquo
Mundle concedes he is intrigued by Hansonrsquos character and potential And

Hanson holds his new mentor in high esteem
ldquoirsquove learned a tremendous amountrdquo Hanson said ldquoHe has a way of getting through to me in a positive way He got through to me that i am so much better than i thought i could be He has more confidence in me than i have in myself
ldquoHe has one of the best golf swings i have ever seen and he is still working on his own gamerdquo
Mundle said Hanson reminds him of former University of Oregon player Ben Crane who now plays on the PGA Tour Crane has been playing professionally since 2007 and earned nearly $3 million on the tour in 2010
ldquoi was Benrsquos swing coach at Oregon and Jake is somewhat similarrdquo Mundle said ldquoBen worked harder than anybody on the whole golf team He would put in as much
time as three or four others combined and Jake is very much the same way Hersquos very dedicatedrdquo
However Mundle insists that helping Hanson with his game is a one-time situation
After playing just six rounds of golf last year Mundle is determined that he and Ann will spend a lot more time on the golf course as they get acquainted with their new hometown
ldquoThatrsquos an all-time lowrdquo he said of the six rounds played in 2010 ldquoMostly it was the move and all mdash a new house putting in lawn fencing shelving in the garage mdash all the little things of getting settled
ldquoBut this was a good move for us We love it here We enjoy the weather and the people you can walk down the street and people look you in the eye and say lsquoHellorsquo i love that friendlinessrdquo
Mundle grew up in Eugene and graduated from University High School in 1950 He knew he said from the time he was in the seventh grade he wanted to make golf his lifersquos work
ldquoyou might say that i had a little parental directionrdquo Mundle said ldquoMy dad went to the University of St Andrews in Scotland and he played golf at the St Andrews Old Course And my mother also played golfrdquo
After high school Mundle enrolled at the University of Oregon and played three years of varsity golf during an era when there was no such thing as a golf scholarship
ldquoThe only thing we ever received was a half-a-dozen golf balls if we went into a tournamentrdquo Mundle recalled ldquoWhen i went to the NCAA Championships in Texas my senior year i was given a new
people ltcontinued from pg 17
Walla Walla LifestyLes 19
pair of golf shoes but that was itldquoWe bought all of our own gear mdash
clubs bags rain gear everything itrsquos a whole different ball game today They have everythingrdquo
At the end of his sophomore year at Oregon Mundle had it in his mind to ldquotest my golf on the PGA Tourrdquo he said But his father an English professor at the university discouraged him
ldquoHe said lsquoGet your education first then you can do whatever you wantrsquordquo Mundle said ldquoit was just as well i saved a lot of wear and tear mdash and money i was an Ok player but not of that caliberrdquo
Mundle still has fond memories of his collegiate playing career however
ldquoi played three years for the university mdash you werenrsquot allowed to play as freshmen mdash and Oregon always had fine golf teamsrdquo Mundle said ldquoit was mostly match
play then and i was there during the time that the school went seven straight years without losing a (team) dual matchrdquo
During his senior year Mundle qualified for the NCAA Championships in Houston From a field of about 160 players Mundle made it as far as the quarterfinal round
He graduated in 1954 with a degree in history which he said he never really used
ldquoMy dad was in the top one percent of his class at St Andrewsrdquo Mundle said ldquoMy mother was also in the top part of her class and my older brother Pete was in the top of his class And then i came alongrdquo
His first golf job was as an assistant pro at his home course the Laurelwood Golf Course a position he accepted shortly after graduating from UO This was when and where the infamous first golf lesson
occurredA two-year stint in the US Army took
Mundle away from his profession in 1955-56 But he managed to keep his golf game sharp as a member of the Fort knox golf team and in 1956 he was the runner-up in the Second Army tournament and he placed 13th in the All-Army tournament
Then it was back to the Willamette valley where he came into his own in the Portland area under head professionals Eddie Hogan at riverside Country Club and Bunny Mason at Columbia Edgewater
ldquoThose two people were very influential in my professional liferdquo Mundle said
ldquoEddie was a very fine teacher of the total golf operation and service was No 1 i learned how to run the pro shop how

people ltcontinued from pg 19
to market and merchandise mdash everything from how to run the club service program to the electric cart program to basically running the golf course
ldquoBunny was also a very fine operator of a golf shop and i also learned a lot about teaching from Bunny Sometimes you go along in life and there are certain mentors who help you along the way Anybody who says they made it by themselves is not being honest with themselves We have all had someone who has given us a little boost along the wayrdquo
Mundle took his first head professional job in 1965 at Overlake Golf and Country Club in Bellevue where he remained until 1981 At that point he returned to Eugene and was the head pro at the Eugene Country Club for three years followed by a six-year stint at the Bear Creek Country Club in Seattle
He also spent a short time at a golf course in Cottage Grove Ore before moving back to Eugene for a third time in 1993 to become the director of golf instruction at the river ridge Golf Course He remained at river ridge until his retirement last summer During his time there he helped out as the swing coach at UO under then-head coach Steve Nosler
Through it all Mundle served as president of the Washington PGA and the Pacific Northwest PGA and was a member of several National PGA committees As a player he participated in the Oregon Washington and Pacific Northwest opens as well as the Washington and Oregon PGA events One of his highlights was winning the Oregon Senior PGA Match-Play Championships in Bend in 1993
ldquoi felt i had an obligation to participaterdquo Mundle said ldquoi played a lot of golf including many many pro-ams and i won a couple of assistant championshipsrdquo
in addition to Crane Mundle also helped shape the careers of Jeff Quinney and Eric Johnson both of whom are from the Eugene area
Quinney won the United States Amateur championship in 2000 and represented the US in the Walker Cup in 2001 He has appeared in 128 PGA Tour events since 2007 placing second twice and third twice
Johnson played several years on the Asian Tour and one on the Nationwide Tour He is now a head professional at a

course in San rafael CalifldquoAnd there have been some others mdash
Brian Henninger Mike Gove a few others mdash who have called and wanted to discus their swingrdquo Mundle said ldquoNothing on a regular basis just one or two sessionsrdquo
is Hanson his next mdash and perhaps his last mdash prodigy
Thatrsquos a tricky question since Hanson came to golf late after a budding baseball career was derailed by a shoulder injury He was a first-team all-Big Nine Conference golf selection as a junior but has yet to qualify for state and his summer resume is thin because of his baseball background
Hansonrsquos original plan was to attend Walla Walla Community College and play golf for the Warriors with the hope of earning an NCAA Division i scholarship But he has since decided to enroll in Arizona State Universityrsquos Professional Golf Management program and try out for the ASU golf team as a walk on
ldquoMore than anything i think it came down to him evaluating his goalsrdquo said Jakersquos father Gary Hanson ldquoitrsquos everyonersquos dream to play on the PGA Tour but realistically he wants to be a golf pro and teach He loves
the gamerdquoAnd a degree in the PGM program
will provide Jake with the educational background he needs to be successful in any form of business his father added
Though his chances of making the ASU varsity team seem unlikely the PGM program provides a club golf team that participates in a series of tournaments throughout the year and gives Hanson a second playing option
And keeping your options open is optimum at this point Mundle said
ldquoi think his driving force at this time mdash and also his folks mdash is to get his education And then he can do whatever he wants if he doesnrsquot go into (the golfing business) immediately he will always have it as a backuprdquo
Sounds an awful lot like the advice Thomas Mundle offered his son back in the spring of 1952 when Al Mundle wanted to leave school after his sophomore year and test his wings on the PGA Tour And as we now know all these years later staying in school worked out pretty well for Al

T H E A T R EPOWER HOUSE
My director Terry Edward Moore told me his only direction from the artistic director was that it be ldquoperiodrdquo that is to say authentic to the time
ldquoMerry Wivesrdquo is the only one of Shakespearersquos plays that is set in his own time so it was decided to present it as if the actors were people of the time doing what would be a contemporary (to the late 16th century) play
i started to research the clothing of the time how it was constructed and what kinds of fabrics were available at the time mdash linens homespuns woolens for the common people and silks damasks velvets and furs for the upper classes i discovered that Elizabethan society was strictly regulated in terms of social classes and upward mobility was a little-known concept Once a yeoman always a yeoman i also discovered the set of rules and regulations called ldquosumptuary lawsrdquo which specifically dictated what types of fabrics trims furs and even what colors each class was allowed to wear
Since there are three distinct classes represented in ldquoMerry Wivesrdquo mdash merchant class soldiers and servants mdash i tried to give each class its own color palette based on these laws The overall palette of the show is based on colors actually in use at the time
The availability of dyes was limited (except for the nobility) so the palette consists of many shades of yellows and browns russets black some greens and blue-grays and of course wheat-colored unbleached linen i turned to the Dutch painter Brueghel for inspiration on how the common people looked and dressed
i also researched what kinds of dyes were used and where they came from Dyes were created from all sorts of different things such as walnut shell crushed beetles and all kinds of roots i found a website that sells these authentic dyestuffs so irsquom using the real thing to dye some of the linen pieces and will coordinate the contemporary fabrics to these authentic colors
Nearly every piece will need something done to it mdash altered in some way to fit the actor re-trimmed rigged invisibly for quick changes etc mdash so there is a lot of labor involved Also hats were a hugely important part of Elizabethan fashion all the way down to the poorest serf
Certain styles of hats were often associated with certain professions mdash eg doctors scholars mdash so there are a number of hats to build as well as headpieces for the women No self-respecting woman went about with her head uncovered
Putting together a show like this is like putting together a giant jigsaw puzzle and the pieces are the costumes that irsquove borrowed and rented from other theater companies in the Seattle area such as Seattle repertory Seattle Opera and the University of Washington as well as pieces from Oregon Shakespeare Festival i design the show and then go out into the world and try to find pieces that approximate my designs and palette as closely as possible (usually with some reworking first) The pieces that i cant find and dont want to compromise on i build from scratch

But thatrsquos exactly what longtime Walla Walla resident Larry Adams did for four years He was one of a select group of pilots for Marine One the helicopter counterpart of the presidential airplane Air Force One from 1970 to 1974

Long before Adams became the Walla Walla Airport manager he was transporting heads of state foreign dignitaries famous (and now infamous) Cabinet members the executive staff and President richard M Nixon during one of the nationrsquos most turbulent times the withdrawal from vietnam and the Watergate scandal
But to Adams a native of Northern idaho all that swirled around the Nixon presidency was the least of his concerns His job was to transport the president safely to Andrews Air Force Base or Camp David or fly any short flight required Safety always at a premium End of story
Many times Adams ferried President Nixon and his staff on short flights far away from home Air Force One might fly President Nixon to a summit or a meeting with a foreign head of state but Marine One and Adams were always nearby to shuttle the chief executive on short flights or to whisk him away from sudden danger
Pretty heady stuff for a fourth-grade teacher who had never thought about flying until a Marine recruiter offered him the opportunity Although Adams had watched planes take off and land at a nearby air base as a child he had never given serious thought to flying it was more a need for a bigger paycheck than passion that brought Adams to his destiny
He liked teaching but it just wasnrsquot paying the bills So Adams turned to the military and the Gi Bill After being unimpressed by other recruiters Adams took a liking to the fellow from the Marines for as Adams recalls the recruiter took an interest in him After about an hour of talking the recruiter suggested Adams might have the potential to be a pilot
Having easily passed some preliminary tests Adams was sent to flight school in Pensacola Fla and a stellar career was ready to take off He performed well in all the aircraft he piloted but he showed a special skill for helicopters
Up until 1965 fixed-wing airplanes were the staple of all military air combat But the military had been gearing up for a big change The helicopter was to become a major part of combat The Pentagon had been developing helicopters that would do much more than transport troops to bases Now they would assist in bombing
raids ground attacks and the evacuation of the injured from the point of combat This new breed of helicopters would also possess the ability to fight back and not be lame ducks as before the new H34 would tote machine guns on each side
These cutting-edge aircraft would travel at unprecedented speeds with newly discovered agility Gifted pilots were needed not those who merely possessed superior technical skills but those who also had the composure to fly straight into
enemy fire in the dead of night picking up injured soldiers or aiding air attacks
Adams was one of those pilots and he would be one of two squadron leaders for ldquoOperation Starliterdquo mdash the first major assault using helicopters The Marines were going straight into a North vietnamese regimental stronghold No one knew what to expect
ldquoWe lost a lot that first time inrdquo says Adams ldquoTwo crew chiefs were killed

people ltcontinued from pg 31
four pilots were medevaced out because of their wounds i donrsquot think there was one helicopter that didnrsquot have a bunch of holes in it The one i flew in we got a lot of rounds in it Amazingly no one was hurt but when we got back the helicopter was so shot-up you couldnrsquot fly it anymore We lost 50 percent of our helicopters that dayrdquo
in the next 13 months Adams would fly many more missions often heading straight into anti-aircraft fire to pick up injured or killed soldiers He says he would see the flares signifying where the copter was supposed to land but frequently hersquod have to veer off because ground communication would say ldquoThe artillery is too hotrdquo Then there would be a window maybe two minutes maybe five when the helicopter could drop in and pick up the injured often being shot at as it waited for its passengers
Adams knew the best way to survive was to keep his focus ldquoin the daylight when you start your run in and yoursquore getting shot at Everything went to black and white for me i didnrsquot notice the green trees or the green rice paddies until we got out of there and then it would come back
to me i donrsquot know what that was i just didnrsquot see the colors irsquove talked to some other pilots and they described the same thingrdquo
in his two tours of duty in vietnam Adams would fly 880 combat missions in several types of helicopters and fixed-wing airplanes He received numerous medals including two Navy commendations for performance under combat conditions
Then the call came to fly for the president Before Adams could tote the commander in chief around in Marine One a thorough background check had to be done So thorough was the check that Adams said a friend from his hometown sent him a card that read ldquoAre you in some kind of trouble Jesus therersquos been a bunch of people around here with the dark grey suits and the skinny little ties Theyrsquore asking all these embarrassing questions about you like did you have drinking problem Did you have a gambling problem Do you know what Larryrsquos sexual preference wasrdquo
Adams chuckles ldquoit was pretty funnyrdquoAdams passed the grade and soon
he was flying President Nixon and his family to Camp David or picking up vice
President Spiro Agnew at the Pentagon or taking Secretary of State Henry kissinger or Secretary of Defense Alexander Haig to a classified meeting Although his flights varied from transporting foreign heads of state to flying members of the press the majority involved the president the vice president kissinger and Haig
The pilots did not speak to their travelers unless spoken to says Adams President Nixon usually looked in and asked them how they were kissinger never spoke Haig was good for a pat on the shoulder now and then but it was Agnew who conversed the most says Adams
Adams remembers ldquoOne time we picked him up at the Pentagon and we had taken off and had hit top altitude He usually would come up and look into the cockpit but this time he patted me on the shoulder and asked lsquoWell howrsquos it going today guysrsquordquo Adams replied ldquoNot bad sir and how about yourselfrdquo
Agnew answered ldquoMan they are really after my assrdquo He was talking about the press Adams says ldquoTwo weeks later he resignedrdquo
Adams recalls that his encounters with Agnew as defying the public perception
Adams far right gives instructions before a mission in Vietnam
Walla Walla LifestyLes 33
that Agnew was arrogant ldquoHe was always one of the nicest guys He was straightforward He looked like he had just stepped off the cover of Gentlemenrsquos Quarterly all the time He was very proper in the way he dressed but he had a sense of humor as wellrdquo
There were other humorous moments Adams recalls a certain reporter from CBS who had been a major thorn in President Nixonrsquos side was late for takeoff from the South Lawn of the White House one morning Just as Marine One was about to leave without him he came running across the lawn hollering and waving his arms The Secret Service agent supervising the flight told Adams to ldquojust gordquo The wind from the propellers whipped the reporterrsquos toupee right off his head and instead of continuing his run toward Marine One he reversed his field and tried feverishly to retrieve his toupee snagged in the hedges
ldquoEveryone got a pretty good chuckle out of thatrdquo
Of course there were somber times At one point Adams flew Cabinet members John Ehrlichman and Hr Haldeman to Camp David for a meeting with the president After only 15 minutes the two men returned and Marine One headed home Adams says it was a quiet flight He found out later the two men had been fired by President Nixon for their parts in the Watergate scandal
Whisking the president away from danger was a major part of being a pilot of Marine One Stationed across the river from the Capitol pilots awakened by an emergency alert had to be up in the air in five minutes This exercise was practiced often though never needed during Adamsrsquo tenure
One night however they thought it was The operator at the White House mistakenly hit the ldquoAlertrdquo button Marine One was in the air in five minutes
Although ground control had not spotted any enemy aircraft the operation was under way As Marine One closed in on the White House the operator at fault tried to alert everyone of his mistake but unfortunately used a poor choice of words to call off the operation
Adams chuckles as he says ldquoThe fella said lsquoThis is not an exercisersquo He was moved to another post i thinkrdquo
All levity aside the position required
the same kind of focus demanded of Adams in vietnam though it came in a different form
ldquoThere were three things the way you operated the aircraft and they were in this order safety comfort and speed Safety never gave in to comfort or speedrdquo says Adams ldquoOur job was just concentrating on doing our job it could have been anybody mdash we would do it the same way it could have been Fred Flintstone
ldquoThe difference between flying for the White House and in vietnam was we were flying a premier aircraft We had to keep it impeccably clean everything was scripted We had to have the lsquoopen-the-door timersquo down to two to four seconds in vietnam it was the stress of performing medevacs under fire or dropping troops under heavy artillery For Marine One it was the stress of doing the job rightrdquo
Also the stress of being away from onersquos family 200 days of the year wore on a Marine One pilot in 1974 after four years on the job the toll became too much and Adams stepped down
He would stay with the Marines for eight more years retiring in August 1982
By then he had received 44 Air Medals including the Joint Service Commendation and the Presidential Service Badge in his 20 years of service Adams flew seven different helicopters and five different fixed-wing planes
What makes an elite military pilot ldquoPilots who donrsquot have any misgivingsrdquo says Adams ldquoTheyrsquore totally prepared they know their aircraftrdquo
When talking about his colleagues on Marine One he adds ldquoNone were boasters They might brag about a great landing but they did not brag in spite of someone elserdquo
What did Adams love most about his flying days ldquoi enjoyed flying with the latest technology and the pristine quality of Marine One i loved the process of building my skills i could have flown another 40 years and i would still be learning thingsrdquo
is it any surprise his favorite hobby now is fly fishing

it is astonishing in many ways mdash that we are presented with two weeks of top-drawer music performed by top-drawer musi-cians that there are so many ways to encounter the music (many of them free) and that a rural community has provided the incu-
bator for such a cultural undertaking to name but a fewGranted we are not your average rural community having two
colleges a university a symphony a choral society a community band and music in the schools but letrsquos face it wersquore not exactly a cosmopolitan center of culture like New york either The Cham-ber Music Festival mdash and our continued support of it through some tough times mdash puts us in a category all our own

worked hard to start this event and to my great joy it has taken on an iden-tity of its own i hire the musicians and choose the music but the town its people and its environs make the festivalrdquo
The beauty of chamber music is its intimacy mdash smaller ensembles performing for smaller audiences it has been referred to as ldquothe music of friendsrdquo which seems so apt at this festival Free open rehearsals are held around town that provide not only a musical atmosphere in which to enjoy a latte or the ambiance of the kirkman House but which give a richer look into the machinations of a working ensemble
As one enthusiastic fan puts it ldquoi am not a musician and itrsquos fascinat-ing to watch these rehearsals to see the interactions of the musicians as they work out the snags make wry remarks and relate to each other in a whole different way than during a for-mal performance i get a glimpse into their personalities and what makes them tickrdquo
The festival supplies a generous of-fering of venues with free concerts for children and families relaxed evening programs at wineries and full concerts at the Foundry Chism Hall and Day-tonrsquos Liberty Theater
if you are lucky enough to live near the musiciansrsquo lodgings while they are in town you may also be treated to an ad hoc front-porch concert as the ensembles continue their rehearsals in more private settings The festival is about all of these ways mdash planned and accidental mdash to experience the enchantment of chamber music
it is also about historic continuity and the connection between past and present mdash relishing the existing canon while expanding the genre with con-temporary forms and voices
How is this accomplished in part by the annual commission of a new piece of music for the festival Chris-tie is committed to contributing to the broader chamber music repertoire and to providing the audience with the richest possible experience

ldquoFor classical music to be relevant there must be a conversation between the music of our time and the music of the pastrdquo he says
By commissioning a work for the festi-val each year Christie creates such a con-versation
This year the commission was given to John David Earnest Four festival commis-sions have preceded his and he is the sec-ond ldquolocalrdquo composer to be tapped add-ing another layer of relationship between community and event (in 2009 Whitman College professor David Glenn was given the nod)
As visiting adjunct professor of music at Whitman Earnest resides here for six weeks every semester His ldquoSecond Sym-phonyrdquo was written for and performed by the Walla Walla Symphony in October 2001
The challenge for the yearly commis-sionee is to compose a piece on demand within specific constraints of time place and instrumentation while expressing hisher own voice as an artist
Earnest has created ldquoCommedia Gal-leryrdquo a set of three movements for flute
viola and harp based on stock characters from the Commedia dellrsquoArte a popu-lar theatrical form that was influential in Europe for over 300 years Commedia characters improvised dialogue around set scenarios generally involving the struggles of young lovers to overcome hindrances to their romance and each character even-tually came to have a consistent set of at-tributes in speech mannerisms and cos-tume
Earnestrsquos ldquoGalleryrdquo gives us Arlecchi-no (Harlequin) an acrobatic and devious jester Pierrot the classic sad clown and finally Scaramouche a dandy and a brag-gart who is a coward at heart
in anticipation of this yearrsquos festival i am reminded of the scene in ldquoThe Music Manrdquo in which the town awaits the ar-rival of the Wells Fargo Wagon Potentially heaped with gifts and surprises it prom-ises connection to the larger world The WWCMF brings us all ldquosomethinrsquo specialrdquo mdash an enrichment of our community and our culture

Smith has gardened for years at his home at 38 Mulberry Court in College Place He used to grow vegetables and flowers now he is strictly focusing on flowers mdash with fabulous results roses delphiniums and lots of irises line the fence
ldquoirises mdash irsquove always enjoyed themrdquo he says ldquoThey take a little bit of weeding and watering but not much morerdquo itrsquos the gardenerrsquos dream mdash low maintenance with a big return
A retired orthopedic surgeon Smith has in the past gardened more extensively than he does now But he has enough plants to keep him busy His new project is planting more of the reblooming iris These are still hardy but you get twice the reward they bloom in the spring then again in the fall
ldquoTheyrsquore easy to grow and spectacular for a short time iris take less care than a lot of thingsrdquo Smith says
His secret for gardening is simple and therersquos no getting around it ldquoTime and workrdquo he laughs
Hersquos getting ready to start in the garden ldquoi need to clean out the leaves and the old foliage of the irisrdquo
in addition to the basic cleaning and maintenance Smith just decides how many plants to keep Bulb flowers are hardy and they multiply on their own
ldquoAfter five years you usually have to separate the bulbs when they get too thick i donrsquot have room to add more i put in the new re-blooming onesrdquo he explains ldquoi may add more and a few other thingsrdquo
But in a garden you can always try something new or rearrange existing plants often with a spectacular outcome

itrsquos an odd location since it can only be seen as yoursquore leaving town but it always makes me smile This valley my adopted home is indeed a great place to be
i recently finished reading the great Western writer Wallace Stegnerrsquos book ldquoThe Sound of Mountain Waterrdquo One of his essays traces his nomadic childhood which left him feeling rootless and without a place that he felt he could call home
i identify with his feeling of not belonging i was born to a single woman from Massachusetts in a New york City hospital i stayed a scant few days before being placed with an adoption agency Born in a place i had no familial connection to i was immediately deprived of my biological family Most of my childhood was spent in suburban Cleveland Ohio Moves to upstate New york New England and Pennsylvania brought me no closer to calling any place home i loved living in the western Massachusetts town of Stockbridge but the multigenerational denizens of the town left few openings for newcomers like me i lived in central Pennsylvania for several decades but felt detached from the deep roots that most people had in the area
When we came west (for my husband a homecoming to his Oregon roots for me a new experience) i noticed that even in long-established towns like Walla Walla there is ample room for newcomers who want to be
part of the community And most folks who choose to come here donrsquot seem to want to change the valley they prefer to embrace it
While the occasional newbie whines about the lack of Whole Foods or Nordstrom they soon discover our farmers markets the wide variety of local shops and boutiques and our world-class restaurants They fall in love with our charming downtowns the small-town friendliness of the people and our kid-friendly environment Then therersquos the holiday parade the fair the ever-present Blue Mountains the parks the museums the wineries mdash really whatrsquos not to like The communities of our valley represent America at its best
irsquom a newspaper junkie i love to read everything from news to sports to classifieds mdash even the obituaries The obits are a fascinating window on our valley Many of the people chronicled were born here some lived all their lives here inextricably bound to this place But a number of people came here from other places often far away and have made a mark on our area Which makes me wonder mdash is a place any less of a hometown because you choose it or is it based primarily on the happenstance of your birth it seems that therersquos room for both paths to calling this wonderful valley home
itrsquos also our strength because collectively as a community we bring both deep familial and cultural traditions as well as the fresh perspective of newcomers to our area irsquom glad mdash after decades of searching mdash that i finally found my hometown a place that feels just right

Born in Miami and then raised in Central Los Angeles by her Cuban-born parents Medica learned her craft by observing her mother work in the kitchen Of all Medicarsquos culinary creations it is her Cuban flan dessert that receives the most requests
ldquoEveryone in the family would always request it especially my nieces and nephewrdquo Medica says sitting at her dining room table the freshly presented flan resting in front of her ldquoMy bro can easily eat half of itrdquo
And the flan does not remain uneaten for long as i sit down with the Walla Walla businesswoman and her daughter Elizabeth to discuss and taste this delicacy Minutes after we begin our conversation nephew Nick arrives and quickly wolfs down two servings
irsquove already finished my first and am working on my second when we begin our conversation
LifEStyLES With both of your parents being Havana natives did you eat Cuban food exclusively
MEDiCa No but in the early days Thanksgiving was pretty different My mom would fix the turkey but shersquod serve it with black beans and white rice Wersquod be ldquoAh mom canrsquot we have regular Thanksgiving food like mashed potatoes and yamsrdquo Those came later as we lived in the States longer
LifEStyLES So the food changed as you kids grew older
MEDiCa Well my mom was always pretty good at American food but sometimes it wasnrsquot all the way like she made American spaghetti but she put chicken in it it was good but my brother would always complain that it didnrsquot have meatballs Now he misses the chicken
LifEStyLES How many kids do you have in the family
MEDiCa i have an older brother and a younger sister irsquom the middle one We didnrsquot have a normal childhood in the sense that my mom was a hairstylist at home and on Saturday mornings customers would start arriving at 8 And she had one of those big old hair dryers

that you put over someonersquos head mdash we called it ldquoFidel Castrordquo mdash and yoursquod have these customers yelling at the top of their voice while they were under it So i never got to sleep in
LifEStyLES it sounds like your mother was quite a lady
MEDiCa i recently found some of her original recipes you know in her own handwriting One of them is for croquetta which was really good you take chicken with corned beef and grind them up bread it and then fry it itrsquos really goodrdquo
LifEStyLES Why do you like the flan so much
MEDiCa Because everyone in the family always requested it i make it a little different The way i make it it is a little more creamy because i use cream cheese itrsquos more like a custard Many times in Mexican restaurants the flan will be more jello-y This is almost like cheesecake
LifEStyLES is it strictly for dessert
MEDiCa yes itrsquos for special occasions
LifEStyLES Like birthdays and parties
MEDiCa yes itrsquos not light you canrsquot have too much or your stomach will start to ache
LifEStyLES Does it take a long time to prepare
MEDiCa Not really Making the caramel sauce takes the most time and you canrsquot take your eyes off it or it might burn
LifEStyLES Tastes like it didnrsquot burn
MEDiCa No i had lots of help My daughter Elizabeth (and she glances over at her youngest child) helped me a lot

The old Frenchtown schoolhouse built in 1915 with the stately bell tower still stands it has been a historic fixture in the Walla Walla valley that many of us have grown up with even if we never attended classes there One can still stride up the long sidewalk to the large heavy carved doors with a feeling of reverence and trepidation mdash as if it were the first day of school mdash while imagining generations of children playing on the manicured grounds
in the 1970s the old schoolhouse classrooms found themselves empty of childrenrsquos laughter But in 1983 Jean and Baker Ferguson breathed new life into the old building founding what would become one of the premier wineries in Washington LrsquoEcole No 41
The name was historically im-portant in two ways ldquoLrsquoEcolerdquo French for ldquothe schoolrdquo recognized the French men and women who settled the area and ldquo41rdquo was the numerical designation of the school district
The Fergusonsrsquo first crush of 1983 was resting in the barrel when the following year they asked their elementary school-aged family members to draw an image that would best reflect the new project
The $100 prize went to an 8-year-old cousin whose watercolor interpretation of the old schoolhouse became the template for a wine label it became an iconic label known to wine lovers around the world
in 1989 the second generation of the family Jean and Bakerrsquos daughter and son-
in-law Megan and Martin (Marty) Clubb became the new proprietors of the winery Marty became the general manager and winemaker and would lead the small artisan winery to new heights mdash it would eventually produce more than 30000 cases annually
At the same time the Washington state wine industry was booming and would soon become the nationrsquos second-largest wine producer The area would become one of the premium wine-producing regions in the United States
Marty also became a pioneer in the

Washington state wine industry as he became a founder and activist in many of the wine industryrsquos foundations and alliances The family-owned winery also partnered with some of the most prestigious vineyards in the state LrsquoEcole No 41 has been honored nine consecutive years by Wine amp Spirits magazine as ldquoWinery of the yearrdquo becoming the second Washington winery inducted into the Hall of Fame
There is a third-generation that has grown up around the winery and will eventually become caretakers of this legacy Meganrsquos and Martyrsquos children Jeanrsquos and Bakerrsquos grandchildren rebecca and riley Clubb had their own meaningful influence on the label with their childhood drawings on the labelrsquos chalkboard image
riley is a 2009 graduate of Whitman College and is employed at the winery rebecca is enrolled in Washington State Universityrsquos wine management program and expected to graduate in 2012
The winery will soon celebrate its 30th birthday The wines produced at the old schoolhouse are refined with true varietal character and can stand up against many coveted wines from France mdash and they have Now that LrsquoEcole is a top player in the world of wine the whimsical label on its bottles is no longer truly indicative of the sophisticated gold and dark-red liquids behind the glass
ldquoLooking to the future we wanted our label to reflect the winery we have becomerdquo says Marty Clubb
This year the winery will unveil a new label it will still depict the iconic schoolhouse but with deeper colors and a new texture There will be a distinct difference among the labels depending on the vineyards used Wines produced from Columbia valley vineyards will have a soft charcoal-colored background label and the labels for the wines produced from Walla Walla vineyards will be more sepia-toned

it was 1954 the year he graduated from the University of Oregon and two female students from the university were interested in learning some of the finer points of the game
ldquoit was probably the worst lesson anybody has ever givenrdquo Mundle exclaimed shaking his head in dismay ldquoThese two young ladies were looking for some help and i worked with them for an hour-and-a-half And at the end of that time i said lsquoi have done such a poor job i will pay you for the time i have put you through this torturersquordquo

Painful as it was the lesson learned proved to be a career-launching moment for Mundle who dedicated himself to his trade and spent a lifetime in the golf business successfully working up and down the i-5 corridor as course operator teacher and player
Fifty-seven years after that first teaching debacle Mundle now 79 years old is retired and living in Walla Walla He and his wife Ann relocated here last summer determined to give up teaching golf and spend more time playing the game they both love
ldquoAfter all of these years of teaching i feel that this is the time to lay it asiderdquo Mundle said ldquoi will still do a little studying of the golf swing and methods and i will be involved with some of the other local professionals in some cracker-barrel sessions when they get together to discuss teaching methods problems and how to solve them
ldquoBut i really came here not to teach but to play some golfrdquo
That was the plan anyway before he was introduced to Walla Walla High School senior Jake Hanson who was looking for a little extra help with his game heading into his final year on the links as a Blue Devil
Terri Hanson Jakersquos mother was aware of Mundlersquos reputation as a teaching professional and heard through the grapevine he was living in Walla Walla
ldquoBeing the mom i am i called him one dayrdquo Terri remembered ldquoi told him that Jakersquos golf game was at a standstill i asked him to take a look at Jake and he agreed to come and meet us and get a feel for where Jake was at
ldquoHe did and before you knew it they were putting on our hardwood floors The next day they agreed to get together at Wine valley mdash they were there for four hours and it has been an amazing connection right from the beginning
ldquoAl is an amazing Christian man who is so well-respected in his fieldrdquo Terri added ldquoAnd he just demands respect irsquom seeing my son of 17 all of a sudden growing uprdquo
Mundle concedes he is intrigued by Hansonrsquos character and potential And
Under the watchful eye of Al Mundle Jake Hanson hits an iron shot

Hanson holds his new mentor in high esteem
ldquoirsquove learned a tremendous amountrdquo Hanson said ldquoHe has a way of getting through to me in a positive way He got through to me that i am so much better than i thought i could be He has more confidence in me than i have in myself
ldquoHe has one of the best golf swings i have ever seen and he is still working on his own gamerdquo
Mundle said Hanson reminds him of former University of Oregon player Ben Crane who now plays on the PGA Tour Crane has been playing professionally since 2007 and earned nearly $3 million on the tour in 2010
ldquoi was Benrsquos swing coach at Oregon and Jake is somewhat similarrdquo Mundle said ldquoBen worked harder than anybody on the whole golf team He would put in as much
time as three or four others combined and Jake is very much the same way Hersquos very dedicatedrdquo
However Mundle insists that helping Hanson with his game is a one-time situation
After playing just six rounds of golf last year Mundle is determined that he and Ann will spend a lot more time on the golf course as they get acquainted with their new hometown
ldquoThatrsquos an all-time lowrdquo he said of the six rounds played in 2010 ldquoMostly it was the move and all mdash a new house putting in lawn fencing shelving in the garage mdash all the little things of getting settled
ldquoBut this was a good move for us We love it here We enjoy the weather and the people you can walk down the street and people look you in the eye and say lsquoHellorsquo i love that friendlinessrdquo
Mundle grew up in Eugene and graduated from University High School in 1950 He knew he said from the time he was in the seventh grade he wanted to make golf his lifersquos work
ldquoyou might say that i had a little parental directionrdquo Mundle said ldquoMy dad went to the University of St Andrews in Scotland and he played golf at the St Andrews Old Course And my mother also played golfrdquo
After high school Mundle enrolled at the University of Oregon and played three years of varsity golf during an era when there was no such thing as a golf scholarship
ldquoThe only thing we ever received was a half-a-dozen golf balls if we went into a tournamentrdquo Mundle recalled ldquoWhen i went to the NCAA Championships in Texas my senior year i was given a new
people ltcontinued from pg 17
Walla Walla LifestyLes 19
pair of golf shoes but that was itldquoWe bought all of our own gear mdash
clubs bags rain gear everything itrsquos a whole different ball game today They have everythingrdquo
At the end of his sophomore year at Oregon Mundle had it in his mind to ldquotest my golf on the PGA Tourrdquo he said But his father an English professor at the university discouraged him
ldquoHe said lsquoGet your education first then you can do whatever you wantrsquordquo Mundle said ldquoit was just as well i saved a lot of wear and tear mdash and money i was an Ok player but not of that caliberrdquo
Mundle still has fond memories of his collegiate playing career however
ldquoi played three years for the university mdash you werenrsquot allowed to play as freshmen mdash and Oregon always had fine golf teamsrdquo Mundle said ldquoit was mostly match
play then and i was there during the time that the school went seven straight years without losing a (team) dual matchrdquo
During his senior year Mundle qualified for the NCAA Championships in Houston From a field of about 160 players Mundle made it as far as the quarterfinal round
He graduated in 1954 with a degree in history which he said he never really used
ldquoMy dad was in the top one percent of his class at St Andrewsrdquo Mundle said ldquoMy mother was also in the top part of her class and my older brother Pete was in the top of his class And then i came alongrdquo
His first golf job was as an assistant pro at his home course the Laurelwood Golf Course a position he accepted shortly after graduating from UO This was when and where the infamous first golf lesson
occurredA two-year stint in the US Army took
Mundle away from his profession in 1955-56 But he managed to keep his golf game sharp as a member of the Fort knox golf team and in 1956 he was the runner-up in the Second Army tournament and he placed 13th in the All-Army tournament
Then it was back to the Willamette valley where he came into his own in the Portland area under head professionals Eddie Hogan at riverside Country Club and Bunny Mason at Columbia Edgewater
ldquoThose two people were very influential in my professional liferdquo Mundle said
ldquoEddie was a very fine teacher of the total golf operation and service was No 1 i learned how to run the pro shop how
Jake Hanson takes a few pointers on chipping from his instructor and mentor Al Mundle

20 Walla Walla LifestyLes
people ltcontinued from pg 19
to market and merchandise mdash everything from how to run the club service program to the electric cart program to basically running the golf course
ldquoBunny was also a very fine operator of a golf shop and i also learned a lot about teaching from Bunny Sometimes you go along in life and there are certain mentors who help you along the way Anybody who says they made it by themselves is not being honest with themselves We have all had someone who has given us a little boost along the wayrdquo
Mundle took his first head professional job in 1965 at Overlake Golf and Country Club in Bellevue where he remained until 1981 At that point he returned to Eugene and was the head pro at the Eugene Country Club for three years followed by a six-year stint at the Bear Creek Country Club in Seattle
He also spent a short time at a golf course in Cottage Grove Ore before moving back to Eugene for a third time in 1993 to become the director of golf instruction at the river ridge Golf Course He remained at river ridge until his retirement last summer During his time there he helped out as the swing coach at UO under then-head coach Steve Nosler
Through it all Mundle served as president of the Washington PGA and the Pacific Northwest PGA and was a member of several National PGA committees As a player he participated in the Oregon Washington and Pacific Northwest opens as well as the Washington and Oregon PGA events One of his highlights was winning the Oregon Senior PGA Match-Play Championships in Bend in 1993
ldquoi felt i had an obligation to participaterdquo Mundle said ldquoi played a lot of golf including many many pro-ams and i won a couple of assistant championshipsrdquo
in addition to Crane Mundle also helped shape the careers of Jeff Quinney and Eric Johnson both of whom are from the Eugene area
Quinney won the United States Amateur championship in 2000 and represented the US in the Walker Cup in 2001 He has appeared in 128 PGA Tour events since 2007 placing second twice and third twice
Johnson played several years on the Asian Tour and one on the Nationwide Tour He is now a head professional at a

course in San rafael CalifldquoAnd there have been some others mdash
Brian Henninger Mike Gove a few others mdash who have called and wanted to discus their swingrdquo Mundle said ldquoNothing on a regular basis just one or two sessionsrdquo
is Hanson his next mdash and perhaps his last mdash prodigy
Thatrsquos a tricky question since Hanson came to golf late after a budding baseball career was derailed by a shoulder injury He was a first-team all-Big Nine Conference golf selection as a junior but has yet to qualify for state and his summer resume is thin because of his baseball background
Hansonrsquos original plan was to attend Walla Walla Community College and play golf for the Warriors with the hope of earning an NCAA Division i scholarship But he has since decided to enroll in Arizona State Universityrsquos Professional Golf Management program and try out for the ASU golf team as a walk on
ldquoMore than anything i think it came down to him evaluating his goalsrdquo said Jakersquos father Gary Hanson ldquoitrsquos everyonersquos dream to play on the PGA Tour but realistically he wants to be a golf pro and teach He loves
the gamerdquoAnd a degree in the PGM program
will provide Jake with the educational background he needs to be successful in any form of business his father added
Though his chances of making the ASU varsity team seem unlikely the PGM program provides a club golf team that participates in a series of tournaments throughout the year and gives Hanson a second playing option
And keeping your options open is optimum at this point Mundle said
ldquoi think his driving force at this time mdash and also his folks mdash is to get his education And then he can do whatever he wants if he doesnrsquot go into (the golfing business) immediately he will always have it as a backuprdquo
Sounds an awful lot like the advice Thomas Mundle offered his son back in the spring of 1952 when Al Mundle wanted to leave school after his sophomore year and test his wings on the PGA Tour And as we now know all these years later staying in school worked out pretty well for Al

T H E A T R EPOWER HOUSE
My director Terry Edward Moore told me his only direction from the artistic director was that it be ldquoperiodrdquo that is to say authentic to the time
ldquoMerry Wivesrdquo is the only one of Shakespearersquos plays that is set in his own time so it was decided to present it as if the actors were people of the time doing what would be a contemporary (to the late 16th century) play
i started to research the clothing of the time how it was constructed and what kinds of fabrics were available at the time mdash linens homespuns woolens for the common people and silks damasks velvets and furs for the upper classes i discovered that Elizabethan society was strictly regulated in terms of social classes and upward mobility was a little-known concept Once a yeoman always a yeoman i also discovered the set of rules and regulations called ldquosumptuary lawsrdquo which specifically dictated what types of fabrics trims furs and even what colors each class was allowed to wear
Since there are three distinct classes represented in ldquoMerry Wivesrdquo mdash merchant class soldiers and servants mdash i tried to give each class its own color palette based on these laws The overall palette of the show is based on colors actually in use at the time
The availability of dyes was limited (except for the nobility) so the palette consists of many shades of yellows and browns russets black some greens and blue-grays and of course wheat-colored unbleached linen i turned to the Dutch painter Brueghel for inspiration on how the common people looked and dressed
i also researched what kinds of dyes were used and where they came from Dyes were created from all sorts of different things such as walnut shell crushed beetles and all kinds of roots i found a website that sells these authentic dyestuffs so irsquom using the real thing to dye some of the linen pieces and will coordinate the contemporary fabrics to these authentic colors
Nearly every piece will need something done to it mdash altered in some way to fit the actor re-trimmed rigged invisibly for quick changes etc mdash so there is a lot of labor involved Also hats were a hugely important part of Elizabethan fashion all the way down to the poorest serf
Certain styles of hats were often associated with certain professions mdash eg doctors scholars mdash so there are a number of hats to build as well as headpieces for the women No self-respecting woman went about with her head uncovered
Putting together a show like this is like putting together a giant jigsaw puzzle and the pieces are the costumes that irsquove borrowed and rented from other theater companies in the Seattle area such as Seattle repertory Seattle Opera and the University of Washington as well as pieces from Oregon Shakespeare Festival i design the show and then go out into the world and try to find pieces that approximate my designs and palette as closely as possible (usually with some reworking first) The pieces that i cant find and dont want to compromise on i build from scratch

But thatrsquos exactly what longtime Walla Walla resident Larry Adams did for four years He was one of a select group of pilots for Marine One the helicopter counterpart of the presidential airplane Air Force One from 1970 to 1974

Long before Adams became the Walla Walla Airport manager he was transporting heads of state foreign dignitaries famous (and now infamous) Cabinet members the executive staff and President richard M Nixon during one of the nationrsquos most turbulent times the withdrawal from vietnam and the Watergate scandal
But to Adams a native of Northern idaho all that swirled around the Nixon presidency was the least of his concerns His job was to transport the president safely to Andrews Air Force Base or Camp David or fly any short flight required Safety always at a premium End of story
Many times Adams ferried President Nixon and his staff on short flights far away from home Air Force One might fly President Nixon to a summit or a meeting with a foreign head of state but Marine One and Adams were always nearby to shuttle the chief executive on short flights or to whisk him away from sudden danger
Pretty heady stuff for a fourth-grade teacher who had never thought about flying until a Marine recruiter offered him the opportunity Although Adams had watched planes take off and land at a nearby air base as a child he had never given serious thought to flying it was more a need for a bigger paycheck than passion that brought Adams to his destiny
He liked teaching but it just wasnrsquot paying the bills So Adams turned to the military and the Gi Bill After being unimpressed by other recruiters Adams took a liking to the fellow from the Marines for as Adams recalls the recruiter took an interest in him After about an hour of talking the recruiter suggested Adams might have the potential to be a pilot
Having easily passed some preliminary tests Adams was sent to flight school in Pensacola Fla and a stellar career was ready to take off He performed well in all the aircraft he piloted but he showed a special skill for helicopters
Up until 1965 fixed-wing airplanes were the staple of all military air combat But the military had been gearing up for a big change The helicopter was to become a major part of combat The Pentagon had been developing helicopters that would do much more than transport troops to bases Now they would assist in bombing
raids ground attacks and the evacuation of the injured from the point of combat This new breed of helicopters would also possess the ability to fight back and not be lame ducks as before the new H34 would tote machine guns on each side
These cutting-edge aircraft would travel at unprecedented speeds with newly discovered agility Gifted pilots were needed not those who merely possessed superior technical skills but those who also had the composure to fly straight into
enemy fire in the dead of night picking up injured soldiers or aiding air attacks
Adams was one of those pilots and he would be one of two squadron leaders for ldquoOperation Starliterdquo mdash the first major assault using helicopters The Marines were going straight into a North vietnamese regimental stronghold No one knew what to expect
ldquoWe lost a lot that first time inrdquo says Adams ldquoTwo crew chiefs were killed
Continued on pg 32 gt
In this newspaper clipping Larry Adams poses on the steps of the helicopter dubbed Marine One which he piloted for President Richard M Nixon

people ltcontinued from pg 31
four pilots were medevaced out because of their wounds i donrsquot think there was one helicopter that didnrsquot have a bunch of holes in it The one i flew in we got a lot of rounds in it Amazingly no one was hurt but when we got back the helicopter was so shot-up you couldnrsquot fly it anymore We lost 50 percent of our helicopters that dayrdquo
in the next 13 months Adams would fly many more missions often heading straight into anti-aircraft fire to pick up injured or killed soldiers He says he would see the flares signifying where the copter was supposed to land but frequently hersquod have to veer off because ground communication would say ldquoThe artillery is too hotrdquo Then there would be a window maybe two minutes maybe five when the helicopter could drop in and pick up the injured often being shot at as it waited for its passengers
Adams knew the best way to survive was to keep his focus ldquoin the daylight when you start your run in and yoursquore getting shot at Everything went to black and white for me i didnrsquot notice the green trees or the green rice paddies until we got out of there and then it would come back
to me i donrsquot know what that was i just didnrsquot see the colors irsquove talked to some other pilots and they described the same thingrdquo
in his two tours of duty in vietnam Adams would fly 880 combat missions in several types of helicopters and fixed-wing airplanes He received numerous medals including two Navy commendations for performance under combat conditions
Then the call came to fly for the president Before Adams could tote the commander in chief around in Marine One a thorough background check had to be done So thorough was the check that Adams said a friend from his hometown sent him a card that read ldquoAre you in some kind of trouble Jesus therersquos been a bunch of people around here with the dark grey suits and the skinny little ties Theyrsquore asking all these embarrassing questions about you like did you have drinking problem Did you have a gambling problem Do you know what Larryrsquos sexual preference wasrdquo
Adams chuckles ldquoit was pretty funnyrdquoAdams passed the grade and soon
he was flying President Nixon and his family to Camp David or picking up vice
President Spiro Agnew at the Pentagon or taking Secretary of State Henry kissinger or Secretary of Defense Alexander Haig to a classified meeting Although his flights varied from transporting foreign heads of state to flying members of the press the majority involved the president the vice president kissinger and Haig
The pilots did not speak to their travelers unless spoken to says Adams President Nixon usually looked in and asked them how they were kissinger never spoke Haig was good for a pat on the shoulder now and then but it was Agnew who conversed the most says Adams
Adams remembers ldquoOne time we picked him up at the Pentagon and we had taken off and had hit top altitude He usually would come up and look into the cockpit but this time he patted me on the shoulder and asked lsquoWell howrsquos it going today guysrsquordquo Adams replied ldquoNot bad sir and how about yourselfrdquo
Agnew answered ldquoMan they are really after my assrdquo He was talking about the press Adams says ldquoTwo weeks later he resignedrdquo
Adams recalls that his encounters with Agnew as defying the public perception
Adams far right gives instructions before a mission in Vietnam
Walla Walla LifestyLes 33
that Agnew was arrogant ldquoHe was always one of the nicest guys He was straightforward He looked like he had just stepped off the cover of Gentlemenrsquos Quarterly all the time He was very proper in the way he dressed but he had a sense of humor as wellrdquo
There were other humorous moments Adams recalls a certain reporter from CBS who had been a major thorn in President Nixonrsquos side was late for takeoff from the South Lawn of the White House one morning Just as Marine One was about to leave without him he came running across the lawn hollering and waving his arms The Secret Service agent supervising the flight told Adams to ldquojust gordquo The wind from the propellers whipped the reporterrsquos toupee right off his head and instead of continuing his run toward Marine One he reversed his field and tried feverishly to retrieve his toupee snagged in the hedges
ldquoEveryone got a pretty good chuckle out of thatrdquo
Of course there were somber times At one point Adams flew Cabinet members John Ehrlichman and Hr Haldeman to Camp David for a meeting with the president After only 15 minutes the two men returned and Marine One headed home Adams says it was a quiet flight He found out later the two men had been fired by President Nixon for their parts in the Watergate scandal
Whisking the president away from danger was a major part of being a pilot of Marine One Stationed across the river from the Capitol pilots awakened by an emergency alert had to be up in the air in five minutes This exercise was practiced often though never needed during Adamsrsquo tenure
One night however they thought it was The operator at the White House mistakenly hit the ldquoAlertrdquo button Marine One was in the air in five minutes
Although ground control had not spotted any enemy aircraft the operation was under way As Marine One closed in on the White House the operator at fault tried to alert everyone of his mistake but unfortunately used a poor choice of words to call off the operation
Adams chuckles as he says ldquoThe fella said lsquoThis is not an exercisersquo He was moved to another post i thinkrdquo
All levity aside the position required
the same kind of focus demanded of Adams in vietnam though it came in a different form
ldquoThere were three things the way you operated the aircraft and they were in this order safety comfort and speed Safety never gave in to comfort or speedrdquo says Adams ldquoOur job was just concentrating on doing our job it could have been anybody mdash we would do it the same way it could have been Fred Flintstone
ldquoThe difference between flying for the White House and in vietnam was we were flying a premier aircraft We had to keep it impeccably clean everything was scripted We had to have the lsquoopen-the-door timersquo down to two to four seconds in vietnam it was the stress of performing medevacs under fire or dropping troops under heavy artillery For Marine One it was the stress of doing the job rightrdquo
Also the stress of being away from onersquos family 200 days of the year wore on a Marine One pilot in 1974 after four years on the job the toll became too much and Adams stepped down
He would stay with the Marines for eight more years retiring in August 1982
By then he had received 44 Air Medals including the Joint Service Commendation and the Presidential Service Badge in his 20 years of service Adams flew seven different helicopters and five different fixed-wing planes
What makes an elite military pilot ldquoPilots who donrsquot have any misgivingsrdquo says Adams ldquoTheyrsquore totally prepared they know their aircraftrdquo
When talking about his colleagues on Marine One he adds ldquoNone were boasters They might brag about a great landing but they did not brag in spite of someone elserdquo
What did Adams love most about his flying days ldquoi enjoyed flying with the latest technology and the pristine quality of Marine One i loved the process of building my skills i could have flown another 40 years and i would still be learning thingsrdquo
is it any surprise his favorite hobby now is fly fishing

it is astonishing in many ways mdash that we are presented with two weeks of top-drawer music performed by top-drawer musi-cians that there are so many ways to encounter the music (many of them free) and that a rural community has provided the incu-
bator for such a cultural undertaking to name but a fewGranted we are not your average rural community having two
colleges a university a symphony a choral society a community band and music in the schools but letrsquos face it wersquore not exactly a cosmopolitan center of culture like New york either The Cham-ber Music Festival mdash and our continued support of it through some tough times mdash puts us in a category all our own
ldquoi saw what was special about this community the first time i visited in 2007rdquo Artistic Director Timothy Christie says ldquoi have

worked hard to start this event and to my great joy it has taken on an iden-tity of its own i hire the musicians and choose the music but the town its people and its environs make the festivalrdquo
The beauty of chamber music is its intimacy mdash smaller ensembles performing for smaller audiences it has been referred to as ldquothe music of friendsrdquo which seems so apt at this festival Free open rehearsals are held around town that provide not only a musical atmosphere in which to enjoy a latte or the ambiance of the kirkman House but which give a richer look into the machinations of a working ensemble
As one enthusiastic fan puts it ldquoi am not a musician and itrsquos fascinat-ing to watch these rehearsals to see the interactions of the musicians as they work out the snags make wry remarks and relate to each other in a whole different way than during a for-mal performance i get a glimpse into their personalities and what makes them tickrdquo
The festival supplies a generous of-fering of venues with free concerts for children and families relaxed evening programs at wineries and full concerts at the Foundry Chism Hall and Day-tonrsquos Liberty Theater
if you are lucky enough to live near the musiciansrsquo lodgings while they are in town you may also be treated to an ad hoc front-porch concert as the ensembles continue their rehearsals in more private settings The festival is about all of these ways mdash planned and accidental mdash to experience the enchantment of chamber music
it is also about historic continuity and the connection between past and present mdash relishing the existing canon while expanding the genre with con-temporary forms and voices
How is this accomplished in part by the annual commission of a new piece of music for the festival Chris-tie is committed to contributing to the broader chamber music repertoire and to providing the audience with the richest possible experience

ldquoFor classical music to be relevant there must be a conversation between the music of our time and the music of the pastrdquo he says
By commissioning a work for the festi-val each year Christie creates such a con-versation
This year the commission was given to John David Earnest Four festival commis-sions have preceded his and he is the sec-ond ldquolocalrdquo composer to be tapped add-ing another layer of relationship between community and event (in 2009 Whitman College professor David Glenn was given the nod)
As visiting adjunct professor of music at Whitman Earnest resides here for six weeks every semester His ldquoSecond Sym-phonyrdquo was written for and performed by the Walla Walla Symphony in October 2001
The challenge for the yearly commis-sionee is to compose a piece on demand within specific constraints of time place and instrumentation while expressing hisher own voice as an artist
Earnest has created ldquoCommedia Gal-leryrdquo a set of three movements for flute
viola and harp based on stock characters from the Commedia dellrsquoArte a popu-lar theatrical form that was influential in Europe for over 300 years Commedia characters improvised dialogue around set scenarios generally involving the struggles of young lovers to overcome hindrances to their romance and each character even-tually came to have a consistent set of at-tributes in speech mannerisms and cos-tume
Earnestrsquos ldquoGalleryrdquo gives us Arlecchi-no (Harlequin) an acrobatic and devious jester Pierrot the classic sad clown and finally Scaramouche a dandy and a brag-gart who is a coward at heart
in anticipation of this yearrsquos festival i am reminded of the scene in ldquoThe Music Manrdquo in which the town awaits the ar-rival of the Wells Fargo Wagon Potentially heaped with gifts and surprises it prom-ises connection to the larger world The WWCMF brings us all ldquosomethinrsquo specialrdquo mdash an enrichment of our community and our culture

Smith has gardened for years at his home at 38 Mulberry Court in College Place He used to grow vegetables and flowers now he is strictly focusing on flowers mdash with fabulous results roses delphiniums and lots of irises line the fence
ldquoirises mdash irsquove always enjoyed themrdquo he says ldquoThey take a little bit of weeding and watering but not much morerdquo itrsquos the gardenerrsquos dream mdash low maintenance with a big return
A retired orthopedic surgeon Smith has in the past gardened more extensively than he does now But he has enough plants to keep him busy His new project is planting more of the reblooming iris These are still hardy but you get twice the reward they bloom in the spring then again in the fall
ldquoTheyrsquore easy to grow and spectacular for a short time iris take less care than a lot of thingsrdquo Smith says
His secret for gardening is simple and therersquos no getting around it ldquoTime and workrdquo he laughs
Hersquos getting ready to start in the garden ldquoi need to clean out the leaves and the old foliage of the irisrdquo
in addition to the basic cleaning and maintenance Smith just decides how many plants to keep Bulb flowers are hardy and they multiply on their own
ldquoAfter five years you usually have to separate the bulbs when they get too thick i donrsquot have room to add more i put in the new re-blooming onesrdquo he explains ldquoi may add more and a few other thingsrdquo
But in a garden you can always try something new or rearrange existing plants often with a spectacular outcome

itrsquos an odd location since it can only be seen as yoursquore leaving town but it always makes me smile This valley my adopted home is indeed a great place to be
i recently finished reading the great Western writer Wallace Stegnerrsquos book ldquoThe Sound of Mountain Waterrdquo One of his essays traces his nomadic childhood which left him feeling rootless and without a place that he felt he could call home
i identify with his feeling of not belonging i was born to a single woman from Massachusetts in a New york City hospital i stayed a scant few days before being placed with an adoption agency Born in a place i had no familial connection to i was immediately deprived of my biological family Most of my childhood was spent in suburban Cleveland Ohio Moves to upstate New york New England and Pennsylvania brought me no closer to calling any place home i loved living in the western Massachusetts town of Stockbridge but the multigenerational denizens of the town left few openings for newcomers like me i lived in central Pennsylvania for several decades but felt detached from the deep roots that most people had in the area
When we came west (for my husband a homecoming to his Oregon roots for me a new experience) i noticed that even in long-established towns like Walla Walla there is ample room for newcomers who want to be
part of the community And most folks who choose to come here donrsquot seem to want to change the valley they prefer to embrace it
While the occasional newbie whines about the lack of Whole Foods or Nordstrom they soon discover our farmers markets the wide variety of local shops and boutiques and our world-class restaurants They fall in love with our charming downtowns the small-town friendliness of the people and our kid-friendly environment Then therersquos the holiday parade the fair the ever-present Blue Mountains the parks the museums the wineries mdash really whatrsquos not to like The communities of our valley represent America at its best
irsquom a newspaper junkie i love to read everything from news to sports to classifieds mdash even the obituaries The obits are a fascinating window on our valley Many of the people chronicled were born here some lived all their lives here inextricably bound to this place But a number of people came here from other places often far away and have made a mark on our area Which makes me wonder mdash is a place any less of a hometown because you choose it or is it based primarily on the happenstance of your birth it seems that therersquos room for both paths to calling this wonderful valley home
itrsquos also our strength because collectively as a community we bring both deep familial and cultural traditions as well as the fresh perspective of newcomers to our area irsquom glad mdash after decades of searching mdash that i finally found my hometown a place that feels just right

that you put over someonersquos head mdash we called it ldquoFidel Castrordquo mdash and yoursquod have these customers yelling at the top of their voice while they were under it So i never got to sleep in
LifEStyLES it sounds like your mother was quite a lady
MEDiCa i recently found some of her original recipes you know in her own handwriting One of them is for croquetta which was really good you take chicken with corned beef and grind them up bread it and then fry it itrsquos really goodrdquo
LifEStyLES Why do you like the flan so much
MEDiCa Because everyone in the family always requested it i make it a little different The way i make it it is a little more creamy because i use cream cheese itrsquos more like a custard Many times in Mexican restaurants the flan will be more jello-y This is almost like cheesecake
LifEStyLES is it strictly for dessert
MEDiCa yes itrsquos for special occasions
LifEStyLES Like birthdays and parties
MEDiCa yes itrsquos not light you canrsquot have too much or your stomach will start to ache
LifEStyLES Does it take a long time to prepare
MEDiCa Not really Making the caramel sauce takes the most time and you canrsquot take your eyes off it or it might burn
LifEStyLES Tastes like it didnrsquot burn
MEDiCa No i had lots of help My daughter Elizabeth (and she glances over at her youngest child) helped me a lot

The old Frenchtown schoolhouse built in 1915 with the stately bell tower still stands it has been a historic fixture in the Walla Walla valley that many of us have grown up with even if we never attended classes there One can still stride up the long sidewalk to the large heavy carved doors with a feeling of reverence and trepidation mdash as if it were the first day of school mdash while imagining generations of children playing on the manicured grounds
in the 1970s the old schoolhouse classrooms found themselves empty of childrenrsquos laughter But in 1983 Jean and Baker Ferguson breathed new life into the old building founding what would become one of the premier wineries in Washington LrsquoEcole No 41
The name was historically im-portant in two ways ldquoLrsquoEcolerdquo French for ldquothe schoolrdquo recognized the French men and women who settled the area and ldquo41rdquo was the numerical designation of the school district
The Fergusonsrsquo first crush of 1983 was resting in the barrel when the following year they asked their elementary school-aged family members to draw an image that would best reflect the new project
The $100 prize went to an 8-year-old cousin whose watercolor interpretation of the old schoolhouse became the template for a wine label it became an iconic label known to wine lovers around the world
in 1989 the second generation of the family Jean and Bakerrsquos daughter and son-
in-law Megan and Martin (Marty) Clubb became the new proprietors of the winery Marty became the general manager and winemaker and would lead the small artisan winery to new heights mdash it would eventually produce more than 30000 cases annually
At the same time the Washington state wine industry was booming and would soon become the nationrsquos second-largest wine producer The area would become one of the premium wine-producing regions in the United States
Marty also became a pioneer in the

Washington state wine industry as he became a founder and activist in many of the wine industryrsquos foundations and alliances The family-owned winery also partnered with some of the most prestigious vineyards in the state LrsquoEcole No 41 has been honored nine consecutive years by Wine amp Spirits magazine as ldquoWinery of the yearrdquo becoming the second Washington winery inducted into the Hall of Fame
There is a third-generation that has grown up around the winery and will eventually become caretakers of this legacy Meganrsquos and Martyrsquos children Jeanrsquos and Bakerrsquos grandchildren rebecca and riley Clubb had their own meaningful influence on the label with their childhood drawings on the labelrsquos chalkboard image
riley is a 2009 graduate of Whitman College and is employed at the winery rebecca is enrolled in Washington State Universityrsquos wine management program and expected to graduate in 2012
The winery will soon celebrate its 30th birthday The wines produced at the old schoolhouse are refined with true varietal character and can stand up against many coveted wines from France mdash and they have Now that LrsquoEcole is a top player in the world of wine the whimsical label on its bottles is no longer truly indicative of the sophisticated gold and dark-red liquids behind the glass
ldquoLooking to the future we wanted our label to reflect the winery we have becomerdquo says Marty Clubb
This year the winery will unveil a new label it will still depict the iconic schoolhouse but with deeper colors and a new texture There will be a distinct difference among the labels depending on the vineyards used Wines produced from Columbia valley vineyards will have a soft charcoal-colored background label and the labels for the wines produced from Walla Walla vineyards will be more sepia-toned
Another distinctive change will be the de-emphasizing of the ldquoNo 41rdquo as generations of wine lovers have often referred to the winery as ldquoLrsquoEcolerdquo
The new label will be a timeless reminder of the past as well as a welcome to future generations

it was 1954 the year he graduated from the University of Oregon and two female students from the university were interested in learning some of the finer points of the game
ldquoit was probably the worst lesson anybody has ever givenrdquo Mundle exclaimed shaking his head in dismay ldquoThese two young ladies were looking for some help and i worked with them for an hour-and-a-half And at the end of that time i said lsquoi have done such a poor job i will pay you for the time i have put you through this torturersquordquo

Painful as it was the lesson learned proved to be a career-launching moment for Mundle who dedicated himself to his trade and spent a lifetime in the golf business successfully working up and down the i-5 corridor as course operator teacher and player
Fifty-seven years after that first teaching debacle Mundle now 79 years old is retired and living in Walla Walla He and his wife Ann relocated here last summer determined to give up teaching golf and spend more time playing the game they both love
ldquoAfter all of these years of teaching i feel that this is the time to lay it asiderdquo Mundle said ldquoi will still do a little studying of the golf swing and methods and i will be involved with some of the other local professionals in some cracker-barrel sessions when they get together to discuss teaching methods problems and how to solve them
ldquoBut i really came here not to teach but to play some golfrdquo
That was the plan anyway before he was introduced to Walla Walla High School senior Jake Hanson who was looking for a little extra help with his game heading into his final year on the links as a Blue Devil
Terri Hanson Jakersquos mother was aware of Mundlersquos reputation as a teaching professional and heard through the grapevine he was living in Walla Walla
ldquoBeing the mom i am i called him one dayrdquo Terri remembered ldquoi told him that Jakersquos golf game was at a standstill i asked him to take a look at Jake and he agreed to come and meet us and get a feel for where Jake was at
ldquoHe did and before you knew it they were putting on our hardwood floors The next day they agreed to get together at Wine valley mdash they were there for four hours and it has been an amazing connection right from the beginning
ldquoAl is an amazing Christian man who is so well-respected in his fieldrdquo Terri added ldquoAnd he just demands respect irsquom seeing my son of 17 all of a sudden growing uprdquo
Mundle concedes he is intrigued by Hansonrsquos character and potential And

Hanson holds his new mentor in high esteem
ldquoirsquove learned a tremendous amountrdquo Hanson said ldquoHe has a way of getting through to me in a positive way He got through to me that i am so much better than i thought i could be He has more confidence in me than i have in myself
ldquoHe has one of the best golf swings i have ever seen and he is still working on his own gamerdquo
Mundle said Hanson reminds him of former University of Oregon player Ben Crane who now plays on the PGA Tour Crane has been playing professionally since 2007 and earned nearly $3 million on the tour in 2010
ldquoi was Benrsquos swing coach at Oregon and Jake is somewhat similarrdquo Mundle said ldquoBen worked harder than anybody on the whole golf team He would put in as much
time as three or four others combined and Jake is very much the same way Hersquos very dedicatedrdquo
However Mundle insists that helping Hanson with his game is a one-time situation
After playing just six rounds of golf last year Mundle is determined that he and Ann will spend a lot more time on the golf course as they get acquainted with their new hometown
ldquoThatrsquos an all-time lowrdquo he said of the six rounds played in 2010 ldquoMostly it was the move and all mdash a new house putting in lawn fencing shelving in the garage mdash all the little things of getting settled
ldquoBut this was a good move for us We love it here We enjoy the weather and the people you can walk down the street and people look you in the eye and say lsquoHellorsquo i love that friendlinessrdquo
Mundle grew up in Eugene and graduated from University High School in 1950 He knew he said from the time he was in the seventh grade he wanted to make golf his lifersquos work
ldquoyou might say that i had a little parental directionrdquo Mundle said ldquoMy dad went to the University of St Andrews in Scotland and he played golf at the St Andrews Old Course And my mother also played golfrdquo
After high school Mundle enrolled at the University of Oregon and played three years of varsity golf during an era when there was no such thing as a golf scholarship
ldquoThe only thing we ever received was a half-a-dozen golf balls if we went into a tournamentrdquo Mundle recalled ldquoWhen i went to the NCAA Championships in Texas my senior year i was given a new
people ltcontinued from pg 17
Walla Walla LifestyLes 19
pair of golf shoes but that was itldquoWe bought all of our own gear mdash
clubs bags rain gear everything itrsquos a whole different ball game today They have everythingrdquo
At the end of his sophomore year at Oregon Mundle had it in his mind to ldquotest my golf on the PGA Tourrdquo he said But his father an English professor at the university discouraged him
ldquoHe said lsquoGet your education first then you can do whatever you wantrsquordquo Mundle said ldquoit was just as well i saved a lot of wear and tear mdash and money i was an Ok player but not of that caliberrdquo
Mundle still has fond memories of his collegiate playing career however
ldquoi played three years for the university mdash you werenrsquot allowed to play as freshmen mdash and Oregon always had fine golf teamsrdquo Mundle said ldquoit was mostly match
play then and i was there during the time that the school went seven straight years without losing a (team) dual matchrdquo
During his senior year Mundle qualified for the NCAA Championships in Houston From a field of about 160 players Mundle made it as far as the quarterfinal round
He graduated in 1954 with a degree in history which he said he never really used
ldquoMy dad was in the top one percent of his class at St Andrewsrdquo Mundle said ldquoMy mother was also in the top part of her class and my older brother Pete was in the top of his class And then i came alongrdquo
His first golf job was as an assistant pro at his home course the Laurelwood Golf Course a position he accepted shortly after graduating from UO This was when and where the infamous first golf lesson
occurredA two-year stint in the US Army took
Mundle away from his profession in 1955-56 But he managed to keep his golf game sharp as a member of the Fort knox golf team and in 1956 he was the runner-up in the Second Army tournament and he placed 13th in the All-Army tournament
Then it was back to the Willamette valley where he came into his own in the Portland area under head professionals Eddie Hogan at riverside Country Club and Bunny Mason at Columbia Edgewater
ldquoThose two people were very influential in my professional liferdquo Mundle said
ldquoEddie was a very fine teacher of the total golf operation and service was No 1 i learned how to run the pro shop how
Jake Hanson takes a few pointers on chipping from his instructor and mentor Al Mundle

people ltcontinued from pg 19
to market and merchandise mdash everything from how to run the club service program to the electric cart program to basically running the golf course
ldquoBunny was also a very fine operator of a golf shop and i also learned a lot about teaching from Bunny Sometimes you go along in life and there are certain mentors who help you along the way Anybody who says they made it by themselves is not being honest with themselves We have all had someone who has given us a little boost along the wayrdquo
Mundle took his first head professional job in 1965 at Overlake Golf and Country Club in Bellevue where he remained until 1981 At that point he returned to Eugene and was the head pro at the Eugene Country Club for three years followed by a six-year stint at the Bear Creek Country Club in Seattle
He also spent a short time at a golf course in Cottage Grove Ore before moving back to Eugene for a third time in 1993 to become the director of golf instruction at the river ridge Golf Course He remained at river ridge until his retirement last summer During his time there he helped out as the swing coach at UO under then-head coach Steve Nosler
Through it all Mundle served as president of the Washington PGA and the Pacific Northwest PGA and was a member of several National PGA committees As a player he participated in the Oregon Washington and Pacific Northwest opens as well as the Washington and Oregon PGA events One of his highlights was winning the Oregon Senior PGA Match-Play Championships in Bend in 1993
ldquoi felt i had an obligation to participaterdquo Mundle said ldquoi played a lot of golf including many many pro-ams and i won a couple of assistant championshipsrdquo
in addition to Crane Mundle also helped shape the careers of Jeff Quinney and Eric Johnson both of whom are from the Eugene area
Quinney won the United States Amateur championship in 2000 and represented the US in the Walker Cup in 2001 He has appeared in 128 PGA Tour events since 2007 placing second twice and third twice
Johnson played several years on the Asian Tour and one on the Nationwide Tour He is now a head professional at a

course in San rafael CalifldquoAnd there have been some others mdash
Brian Henninger Mike Gove a few others mdash who have called and wanted to discus their swingrdquo Mundle said ldquoNothing on a regular basis just one or two sessionsrdquo
is Hanson his next mdash and perhaps his last mdash prodigy
Thatrsquos a tricky question since Hanson came to golf late after a budding baseball career was derailed by a shoulder injury He was a first-team all-Big Nine Conference golf selection as a junior but has yet to qualify for state and his summer resume is thin because of his baseball background
Hansonrsquos original plan was to attend Walla Walla Community College and play golf for the Warriors with the hope of earning an NCAA Division i scholarship But he has since decided to enroll in Arizona State Universityrsquos Professional Golf Management program and try out for the ASU golf team as a walk on
ldquoMore than anything i think it came down to him evaluating his goalsrdquo said Jakersquos father Gary Hanson ldquoitrsquos everyonersquos dream to play on the PGA Tour but realistically he wants to be a golf pro and teach He loves
the gamerdquoAnd a degree in the PGM program
will provide Jake with the educational background he needs to be successful in any form of business his father added
Though his chances of making the ASU varsity team seem unlikely the PGM program provides a club golf team that participates in a series of tournaments throughout the year and gives Hanson a second playing option
And keeping your options open is optimum at this point Mundle said
ldquoi think his driving force at this time mdash and also his folks mdash is to get his education And then he can do whatever he wants if he doesnrsquot go into (the golfing business) immediately he will always have it as a backuprdquo
Sounds an awful lot like the advice Thomas Mundle offered his son back in the spring of 1952 when Al Mundle wanted to leave school after his sophomore year and test his wings on the PGA Tour And as we now know all these years later staying in school worked out pretty well for Al

T H E A T R EPOWER HOUSE
My director Terry Edward Moore told me his only direction from the artistic director was that it be ldquoperiodrdquo that is to say authentic to the time
ldquoMerry Wivesrdquo is the only one of Shakespearersquos plays that is set in his own time so it was decided to present it as if the actors were people of the time doing what would be a contemporary (to the late 16th century) play
i started to research the clothing of the time how it was constructed and what kinds of fabrics were available at the time mdash linens homespuns woolens for the common people and silks damasks velvets and furs for the upper classes i discovered that Elizabethan society was strictly regulated in terms of social classes and upward mobility was a little-known concept Once a yeoman always a yeoman i also discovered the set of rules and regulations called ldquosumptuary lawsrdquo which specifically dictated what types of fabrics trims furs and even what colors each class was allowed to wear
Since there are three distinct classes represented in ldquoMerry Wivesrdquo mdash merchant class soldiers and servants mdash i tried to give each class its own color palette based on these laws The overall palette of the show is based on colors actually in use at the time
The availability of dyes was limited (except for the nobility) so the palette consists of many shades of yellows and browns russets black some greens and blue-grays and of course wheat-colored unbleached linen i turned to the Dutch painter Brueghel for inspiration on how the common people looked and dressed
i also researched what kinds of dyes were used and where they came from Dyes were created from all sorts of different things such as walnut shell crushed beetles and all kinds of roots i found a website that sells these authentic dyestuffs so irsquom using the real thing to dye some of the linen pieces and will coordinate the contemporary fabrics to these authentic colors
Nearly every piece will need something done to it mdash altered in some way to fit the actor re-trimmed rigged invisibly for quick changes etc mdash so there is a lot of labor involved Also hats were a hugely important part of Elizabethan fashion all the way down to the poorest serf
Certain styles of hats were often associated with certain professions mdash eg doctors scholars mdash so there are a number of hats to build as well as headpieces for the women No self-respecting woman went about with her head uncovered
Putting together a show like this is like putting together a giant jigsaw puzzle and the pieces are the costumes that irsquove borrowed and rented from other theater companies in the Seattle area such as Seattle repertory Seattle Opera and the University of Washington as well as pieces from Oregon Shakespeare Festival i design the show and then go out into the world and try to find pieces that approximate my designs and palette as closely as possible (usually with some reworking first) The pieces that i cant find and dont want to compromise on i build from scratch

But thatrsquos exactly what longtime Walla Walla resident Larry Adams did for four years He was one of a select group of pilots for Marine One the helicopter counterpart of the presidential airplane Air Force One from 1970 to 1974

Long before Adams became the Walla Walla Airport manager he was transporting heads of state foreign dignitaries famous (and now infamous) Cabinet members the executive staff and President richard M Nixon during one of the nationrsquos most turbulent times the withdrawal from vietnam and the Watergate scandal
But to Adams a native of Northern idaho all that swirled around the Nixon presidency was the least of his concerns His job was to transport the president safely to Andrews Air Force Base or Camp David or fly any short flight required Safety always at a premium End of story
Many times Adams ferried President Nixon and his staff on short flights far away from home Air Force One might fly President Nixon to a summit or a meeting with a foreign head of state but Marine One and Adams were always nearby to shuttle the chief executive on short flights or to whisk him away from sudden danger
Pretty heady stuff for a fourth-grade teacher who had never thought about flying until a Marine recruiter offered him the opportunity Although Adams had watched planes take off and land at a nearby air base as a child he had never given serious thought to flying it was more a need for a bigger paycheck than passion that brought Adams to his destiny
He liked teaching but it just wasnrsquot paying the bills So Adams turned to the military and the Gi Bill After being unimpressed by other recruiters Adams took a liking to the fellow from the Marines for as Adams recalls the recruiter took an interest in him After about an hour of talking the recruiter suggested Adams might have the potential to be a pilot
Having easily passed some preliminary tests Adams was sent to flight school in Pensacola Fla and a stellar career was ready to take off He performed well in all the aircraft he piloted but he showed a special skill for helicopters
Up until 1965 fixed-wing airplanes were the staple of all military air combat But the military had been gearing up for a big change The helicopter was to become a major part of combat The Pentagon had been developing helicopters that would do much more than transport troops to bases Now they would assist in bombing
raids ground attacks and the evacuation of the injured from the point of combat This new breed of helicopters would also possess the ability to fight back and not be lame ducks as before the new H34 would tote machine guns on each side
These cutting-edge aircraft would travel at unprecedented speeds with newly discovered agility Gifted pilots were needed not those who merely possessed superior technical skills but those who also had the composure to fly straight into
enemy fire in the dead of night picking up injured soldiers or aiding air attacks
Adams was one of those pilots and he would be one of two squadron leaders for ldquoOperation Starliterdquo mdash the first major assault using helicopters The Marines were going straight into a North vietnamese regimental stronghold No one knew what to expect
ldquoWe lost a lot that first time inrdquo says Adams ldquoTwo crew chiefs were killed

people ltcontinued from pg 31
four pilots were medevaced out because of their wounds i donrsquot think there was one helicopter that didnrsquot have a bunch of holes in it The one i flew in we got a lot of rounds in it Amazingly no one was hurt but when we got back the helicopter was so shot-up you couldnrsquot fly it anymore We lost 50 percent of our helicopters that dayrdquo
in the next 13 months Adams would fly many more missions often heading straight into anti-aircraft fire to pick up injured or killed soldiers He says he would see the flares signifying where the copter was supposed to land but frequently hersquod have to veer off because ground communication would say ldquoThe artillery is too hotrdquo Then there would be a window maybe two minutes maybe five when the helicopter could drop in and pick up the injured often being shot at as it waited for its passengers
Adams knew the best way to survive was to keep his focus ldquoin the daylight when you start your run in and yoursquore getting shot at Everything went to black and white for me i didnrsquot notice the green trees or the green rice paddies until we got out of there and then it would come back
to me i donrsquot know what that was i just didnrsquot see the colors irsquove talked to some other pilots and they described the same thingrdquo
in his two tours of duty in vietnam Adams would fly 880 combat missions in several types of helicopters and fixed-wing airplanes He received numerous medals including two Navy commendations for performance under combat conditions
Then the call came to fly for the president Before Adams could tote the commander in chief around in Marine One a thorough background check had to be done So thorough was the check that Adams said a friend from his hometown sent him a card that read ldquoAre you in some kind of trouble Jesus therersquos been a bunch of people around here with the dark grey suits and the skinny little ties Theyrsquore asking all these embarrassing questions about you like did you have drinking problem Did you have a gambling problem Do you know what Larryrsquos sexual preference wasrdquo
Adams chuckles ldquoit was pretty funnyrdquoAdams passed the grade and soon
he was flying President Nixon and his family to Camp David or picking up vice
President Spiro Agnew at the Pentagon or taking Secretary of State Henry kissinger or Secretary of Defense Alexander Haig to a classified meeting Although his flights varied from transporting foreign heads of state to flying members of the press the majority involved the president the vice president kissinger and Haig
The pilots did not speak to their travelers unless spoken to says Adams President Nixon usually looked in and asked them how they were kissinger never spoke Haig was good for a pat on the shoulder now and then but it was Agnew who conversed the most says Adams
Adams remembers ldquoOne time we picked him up at the Pentagon and we had taken off and had hit top altitude He usually would come up and look into the cockpit but this time he patted me on the shoulder and asked lsquoWell howrsquos it going today guysrsquordquo Adams replied ldquoNot bad sir and how about yourselfrdquo
Agnew answered ldquoMan they are really after my assrdquo He was talking about the press Adams says ldquoTwo weeks later he resignedrdquo
Adams recalls that his encounters with Agnew as defying the public perception
Adams far right gives instructions before a mission in Vietnam
Walla Walla LifestyLes 33
that Agnew was arrogant ldquoHe was always one of the nicest guys He was straightforward He looked like he had just stepped off the cover of Gentlemenrsquos Quarterly all the time He was very proper in the way he dressed but he had a sense of humor as wellrdquo
There were other humorous moments Adams recalls a certain reporter from CBS who had been a major thorn in President Nixonrsquos side was late for takeoff from the South Lawn of the White House one morning Just as Marine One was about to leave without him he came running across the lawn hollering and waving his arms The Secret Service agent supervising the flight told Adams to ldquojust gordquo The wind from the propellers whipped the reporterrsquos toupee right off his head and instead of continuing his run toward Marine One he reversed his field and tried feverishly to retrieve his toupee snagged in the hedges
ldquoEveryone got a pretty good chuckle out of thatrdquo
Of course there were somber times At one point Adams flew Cabinet members John Ehrlichman and Hr Haldeman to Camp David for a meeting with the president After only 15 minutes the two men returned and Marine One headed home Adams says it was a quiet flight He found out later the two men had been fired by President Nixon for their parts in the Watergate scandal
Whisking the president away from danger was a major part of being a pilot of Marine One Stationed across the river from the Capitol pilots awakened by an emergency alert had to be up in the air in five minutes This exercise was practiced often though never needed during Adamsrsquo tenure
One night however they thought it was The operator at the White House mistakenly hit the ldquoAlertrdquo button Marine One was in the air in five minutes
Although ground control had not spotted any enemy aircraft the operation was under way As Marine One closed in on the White House the operator at fault tried to alert everyone of his mistake but unfortunately used a poor choice of words to call off the operation
Adams chuckles as he says ldquoThe fella said lsquoThis is not an exercisersquo He was moved to another post i thinkrdquo
All levity aside the position required
the same kind of focus demanded of Adams in vietnam though it came in a different form
ldquoThere were three things the way you operated the aircraft and they were in this order safety comfort and speed Safety never gave in to comfort or speedrdquo says Adams ldquoOur job was just concentrating on doing our job it could have been anybody mdash we would do it the same way it could have been Fred Flintstone
ldquoThe difference between flying for the White House and in vietnam was we were flying a premier aircraft We had to keep it impeccably clean everything was scripted We had to have the lsquoopen-the-door timersquo down to two to four seconds in vietnam it was the stress of performing medevacs under fire or dropping troops under heavy artillery For Marine One it was the stress of doing the job rightrdquo
Also the stress of being away from onersquos family 200 days of the year wore on a Marine One pilot in 1974 after four years on the job the toll became too much and Adams stepped down
He would stay with the Marines for eight more years retiring in August 1982
By then he had received 44 Air Medals including the Joint Service Commendation and the Presidential Service Badge in his 20 years of service Adams flew seven different helicopters and five different fixed-wing planes
What makes an elite military pilot ldquoPilots who donrsquot have any misgivingsrdquo says Adams ldquoTheyrsquore totally prepared they know their aircraftrdquo
When talking about his colleagues on Marine One he adds ldquoNone were boasters They might brag about a great landing but they did not brag in spite of someone elserdquo
What did Adams love most about his flying days ldquoi enjoyed flying with the latest technology and the pristine quality of Marine One i loved the process of building my skills i could have flown another 40 years and i would still be learning thingsrdquo
is it any surprise his favorite hobby now is fly fishing

it is astonishing in many ways mdash that we are presented with two weeks of top-drawer music performed by top-drawer musi-cians that there are so many ways to encounter the music (many of them free) and that a rural community has provided the incu-
bator for such a cultural undertaking to name but a fewGranted we are not your average rural community having two
colleges a university a symphony a choral society a community band and music in the schools but letrsquos face it wersquore not exactly a cosmopolitan center of culture like New york either The Cham-ber Music Festival mdash and our continued support of it through some tough times mdash puts us in a category all our own

worked hard to start this event and to my great joy it has taken on an iden-tity of its own i hire the musicians and choose the music but the town its people and its environs make the festivalrdquo
The beauty of chamber music is its intimacy mdash smaller ensembles performing for smaller audiences it has been referred to as ldquothe music of friendsrdquo which seems so apt at this festival Free open rehearsals are held around town that provide not only a musical atmosphere in which to enjoy a latte or the ambiance of the kirkman House but which give a richer look into the machinations of a working ensemble
As one enthusiastic fan puts it ldquoi am not a musician and itrsquos fascinat-ing to watch these rehearsals to see the interactions of the musicians as they work out the snags make wry remarks and relate to each other in a whole different way than during a for-mal performance i get a glimpse into their personalities and what makes them tickrdquo
The festival supplies a generous of-fering of venues with free concerts for children and families relaxed evening programs at wineries and full concerts at the Foundry Chism Hall and Day-tonrsquos Liberty Theater
if you are lucky enough to live near the musiciansrsquo lodgings while they are in town you may also be treated to an ad hoc front-porch concert as the ensembles continue their rehearsals in more private settings The festival is about all of these ways mdash planned and accidental mdash to experience the enchantment of chamber music
it is also about historic continuity and the connection between past and present mdash relishing the existing canon while expanding the genre with con-temporary forms and voices
How is this accomplished in part by the annual commission of a new piece of music for the festival Chris-tie is committed to contributing to the broader chamber music repertoire and to providing the audience with the richest possible experience

ldquoFor classical music to be relevant there must be a conversation between the music of our time and the music of the pastrdquo he says
By commissioning a work for the festi-val each year Christie creates such a con-versation
This year the commission was given to John David Earnest Four festival commis-sions have preceded his and he is the sec-ond ldquolocalrdquo composer to be tapped add-ing another layer of relationship between community and event (in 2009 Whitman College professor David Glenn was given the nod)
As visiting adjunct professor of music at Whitman Earnest resides here for six weeks every semester His ldquoSecond Sym-phonyrdquo was written for and performed by the Walla Walla Symphony in October 2001
The challenge for the yearly commis-sionee is to compose a piece on demand within specific constraints of time place and instrumentation while expressing hisher own voice as an artist
Earnest has created ldquoCommedia Gal-leryrdquo a set of three movements for flute
viola and harp based on stock characters from the Commedia dellrsquoArte a popu-lar theatrical form that was influential in Europe for over 300 years Commedia characters improvised dialogue around set scenarios generally involving the struggles of young lovers to overcome hindrances to their romance and each character even-tually came to have a consistent set of at-tributes in speech mannerisms and cos-tume
Earnestrsquos ldquoGalleryrdquo gives us Arlecchi-no (Harlequin) an acrobatic and devious jester Pierrot the classic sad clown and finally Scaramouche a dandy and a brag-gart who is a coward at heart
in anticipation of this yearrsquos festival i am reminded of the scene in ldquoThe Music Manrdquo in which the town awaits the ar-rival of the Wells Fargo Wagon Potentially heaped with gifts and surprises it prom-ises connection to the larger world The WWCMF brings us all ldquosomethinrsquo specialrdquo mdash an enrichment of our community and our culture

Smith has gardened for years at his home at 38 Mulberry Court in College Place He used to grow vegetables and flowers now he is strictly focusing on flowers mdash with fabulous results roses delphiniums and lots of irises line the fence
ldquoirises mdash irsquove always enjoyed themrdquo he says ldquoThey take a little bit of weeding and watering but not much morerdquo itrsquos the gardenerrsquos dream mdash low maintenance with a big return
A retired orthopedic surgeon Smith has in the past gardened more extensively than he does now But he has enough plants to keep him busy His new project is planting more of the reblooming iris These are still hardy but you get twice the reward they bloom in the spring then again in the fall
ldquoTheyrsquore easy to grow and spectacular for a short time iris take less care than a lot of thingsrdquo Smith says
His secret for gardening is simple and therersquos no getting around it ldquoTime and workrdquo he laughs
Hersquos getting ready to start in the garden ldquoi need to clean out the leaves and the old foliage of the irisrdquo
in addition to the basic cleaning and maintenance Smith just decides how many plants to keep Bulb flowers are hardy and they multiply on their own
ldquoAfter five years you usually have to separate the bulbs when they get too thick i donrsquot have room to add more i put in the new re-blooming onesrdquo he explains ldquoi may add more and a few other thingsrdquo
But in a garden you can always try something new or rearrange existing plants often with a spectacular outcome

itrsquos an odd location since it can only be seen as yoursquore leaving town but it always makes me smile This valley my adopted home is indeed a great place to be
i recently finished reading the great Western writer Wallace Stegnerrsquos book ldquoThe Sound of Mountain Waterrdquo One of his essays traces his nomadic childhood which left him feeling rootless and without a place that he felt he could call home
i identify with his feeling of not belonging i was born to a single woman from Massachusetts in a New york City hospital i stayed a scant few days before being placed with an adoption agency Born in a place i had no familial connection to i was immediately deprived of my biological family Most of my childhood was spent in suburban Cleveland Ohio Moves to upstate New york New England and Pennsylvania brought me no closer to calling any place home i loved living in the western Massachusetts town of Stockbridge but the multigenerational denizens of the town left few openings for newcomers like me i lived in central Pennsylvania for several decades but felt detached from the deep roots that most people had in the area
When we came west (for my husband a homecoming to his Oregon roots for me a new experience) i noticed that even in long-established towns like Walla Walla there is ample room for newcomers who want to be
part of the community And most folks who choose to come here donrsquot seem to want to change the valley they prefer to embrace it
While the occasional newbie whines about the lack of Whole Foods or Nordstrom they soon discover our farmers markets the wide variety of local shops and boutiques and our world-class restaurants They fall in love with our charming downtowns the small-town friendliness of the people and our kid-friendly environment Then therersquos the holiday parade the fair the ever-present Blue Mountains the parks the museums the wineries mdash really whatrsquos not to like The communities of our valley represent America at its best
irsquom a newspaper junkie i love to read everything from news to sports to classifieds mdash even the obituaries The obits are a fascinating window on our valley Many of the people chronicled were born here some lived all their lives here inextricably bound to this place But a number of people came here from other places often far away and have made a mark on our area Which makes me wonder mdash is a place any less of a hometown because you choose it or is it based primarily on the happenstance of your birth it seems that therersquos room for both paths to calling this wonderful valley home
itrsquos also our strength because collectively as a community we bring both deep familial and cultural traditions as well as the fresh perspective of newcomers to our area irsquom glad mdash after decades of searching mdash that i finally found my hometown a place that feels just right

The old Frenchtown schoolhouse built in 1915 with the stately bell tower still stands it has been a historic fixture in the Walla Walla valley that many of us have grown up with even if we never attended classes there One can still stride up the long sidewalk to the large heavy carved doors with a feeling of reverence and trepidation mdash as if it were the first day of school mdash while imagining generations of children playing on the manicured grounds
in the 1970s the old schoolhouse classrooms found themselves empty of childrenrsquos laughter But in 1983 Jean and Baker Ferguson breathed new life into the old building founding what would become one of the premier wineries in Washington LrsquoEcole No 41
The name was historically im-portant in two ways ldquoLrsquoEcolerdquo French for ldquothe schoolrdquo recognized the French men and women who settled the area and ldquo41rdquo was the numerical designation of the school district
The Fergusonsrsquo first crush of 1983 was resting in the barrel when the following year they asked their elementary school-aged family members to draw an image that would best reflect the new project
The $100 prize went to an 8-year-old cousin whose watercolor interpretation of the old schoolhouse became the template for a wine label it became an iconic label known to wine lovers around the world
in 1989 the second generation of the family Jean and Bakerrsquos daughter and son-
in-law Megan and Martin (Marty) Clubb became the new proprietors of the winery Marty became the general manager and winemaker and would lead the small artisan winery to new heights mdash it would eventually produce more than 30000 cases annually
At the same time the Washington state wine industry was booming and would soon become the nationrsquos second-largest wine producer The area would become one of the premium wine-producing regions in the United States
Marty also became a pioneer in the

Washington state wine industry as he became a founder and activist in many of the wine industryrsquos foundations and alliances The family-owned winery also partnered with some of the most prestigious vineyards in the state LrsquoEcole No 41 has been honored nine consecutive years by Wine amp Spirits magazine as ldquoWinery of the yearrdquo becoming the second Washington winery inducted into the Hall of Fame
There is a third-generation that has grown up around the winery and will eventually become caretakers of this legacy Meganrsquos and Martyrsquos children Jeanrsquos and Bakerrsquos grandchildren rebecca and riley Clubb had their own meaningful influence on the label with their childhood drawings on the labelrsquos chalkboard image
riley is a 2009 graduate of Whitman College and is employed at the winery rebecca is enrolled in Washington State Universityrsquos wine management program and expected to graduate in 2012
The winery will soon celebrate its 30th birthday The wines produced at the old schoolhouse are refined with true varietal character and can stand up against many coveted wines from France mdash and they have Now that LrsquoEcole is a top player in the world of wine the whimsical label on its bottles is no longer truly indicative of the sophisticated gold and dark-red liquids behind the glass
ldquoLooking to the future we wanted our label to reflect the winery we have becomerdquo says Marty Clubb
This year the winery will unveil a new label it will still depict the iconic schoolhouse but with deeper colors and a new texture There will be a distinct difference among the labels depending on the vineyards used Wines produced from Columbia valley vineyards will have a soft charcoal-colored background label and the labels for the wines produced from Walla Walla vineyards will be more sepia-toned
Another distinctive change will be the de-emphasizing of the ldquoNo 41rdquo as generations of wine lovers have often referred to the winery as ldquoLrsquoEcolerdquo
The new label will be a timeless reminder of the past as well as a welcome to future generations

it was 1954 the year he graduated from the University of Oregon and two female students from the university were interested in learning some of the finer points of the game
ldquoit was probably the worst lesson anybody has ever givenrdquo Mundle exclaimed shaking his head in dismay ldquoThese two young ladies were looking for some help and i worked with them for an hour-and-a-half And at the end of that time i said lsquoi have done such a poor job i will pay you for the time i have put you through this torturersquordquo

Painful as it was the lesson learned proved to be a career-launching moment for Mundle who dedicated himself to his trade and spent a lifetime in the golf business successfully working up and down the i-5 corridor as course operator teacher and player
Fifty-seven years after that first teaching debacle Mundle now 79 years old is retired and living in Walla Walla He and his wife Ann relocated here last summer determined to give up teaching golf and spend more time playing the game they both love
ldquoAfter all of these years of teaching i feel that this is the time to lay it asiderdquo Mundle said ldquoi will still do a little studying of the golf swing and methods and i will be involved with some of the other local professionals in some cracker-barrel sessions when they get together to discuss teaching methods problems and how to solve them
ldquoBut i really came here not to teach but to play some golfrdquo
That was the plan anyway before he was introduced to Walla Walla High School senior Jake Hanson who was looking for a little extra help with his game heading into his final year on the links as a Blue Devil
Terri Hanson Jakersquos mother was aware of Mundlersquos reputation as a teaching professional and heard through the grapevine he was living in Walla Walla
ldquoBeing the mom i am i called him one dayrdquo Terri remembered ldquoi told him that Jakersquos golf game was at a standstill i asked him to take a look at Jake and he agreed to come and meet us and get a feel for where Jake was at
ldquoHe did and before you knew it they were putting on our hardwood floors The next day they agreed to get together at Wine valley mdash they were there for four hours and it has been an amazing connection right from the beginning
ldquoAl is an amazing Christian man who is so well-respected in his fieldrdquo Terri added ldquoAnd he just demands respect irsquom seeing my son of 17 all of a sudden growing uprdquo
Mundle concedes he is intrigued by Hansonrsquos character and potential And
Under the watchful eye of Al Mundle Jake Hanson hits an iron shot

Hanson holds his new mentor in high esteem
ldquoirsquove learned a tremendous amountrdquo Hanson said ldquoHe has a way of getting through to me in a positive way He got through to me that i am so much better than i thought i could be He has more confidence in me than i have in myself
ldquoHe has one of the best golf swings i have ever seen and he is still working on his own gamerdquo
Mundle said Hanson reminds him of former University of Oregon player Ben Crane who now plays on the PGA Tour Crane has been playing professionally since 2007 and earned nearly $3 million on the tour in 2010
ldquoi was Benrsquos swing coach at Oregon and Jake is somewhat similarrdquo Mundle said ldquoBen worked harder than anybody on the whole golf team He would put in as much
time as three or four others combined and Jake is very much the same way Hersquos very dedicatedrdquo
However Mundle insists that helping Hanson with his game is a one-time situation
After playing just six rounds of golf last year Mundle is determined that he and Ann will spend a lot more time on the golf course as they get acquainted with their new hometown
ldquoThatrsquos an all-time lowrdquo he said of the six rounds played in 2010 ldquoMostly it was the move and all mdash a new house putting in lawn fencing shelving in the garage mdash all the little things of getting settled
ldquoBut this was a good move for us We love it here We enjoy the weather and the people you can walk down the street and people look you in the eye and say lsquoHellorsquo i love that friendlinessrdquo
Mundle grew up in Eugene and graduated from University High School in 1950 He knew he said from the time he was in the seventh grade he wanted to make golf his lifersquos work
ldquoyou might say that i had a little parental directionrdquo Mundle said ldquoMy dad went to the University of St Andrews in Scotland and he played golf at the St Andrews Old Course And my mother also played golfrdquo
After high school Mundle enrolled at the University of Oregon and played three years of varsity golf during an era when there was no such thing as a golf scholarship
ldquoThe only thing we ever received was a half-a-dozen golf balls if we went into a tournamentrdquo Mundle recalled ldquoWhen i went to the NCAA Championships in Texas my senior year i was given a new

pair of golf shoes but that was itldquoWe bought all of our own gear mdash
clubs bags rain gear everything itrsquos a whole different ball game today They have everythingrdquo
At the end of his sophomore year at Oregon Mundle had it in his mind to ldquotest my golf on the PGA Tourrdquo he said But his father an English professor at the university discouraged him
ldquoHe said lsquoGet your education first then you can do whatever you wantrsquordquo Mundle said ldquoit was just as well i saved a lot of wear and tear mdash and money i was an Ok player but not of that caliberrdquo
Mundle still has fond memories of his collegiate playing career however
ldquoi played three years for the university mdash you werenrsquot allowed to play as freshmen mdash and Oregon always had fine golf teamsrdquo Mundle said ldquoit was mostly match
play then and i was there during the time that the school went seven straight years without losing a (team) dual matchrdquo
During his senior year Mundle qualified for the NCAA Championships in Houston From a field of about 160 players Mundle made it as far as the quarterfinal round
He graduated in 1954 with a degree in history which he said he never really used
ldquoMy dad was in the top one percent of his class at St Andrewsrdquo Mundle said ldquoMy mother was also in the top part of her class and my older brother Pete was in the top of his class And then i came alongrdquo
His first golf job was as an assistant pro at his home course the Laurelwood Golf Course a position he accepted shortly after graduating from UO This was when and where the infamous first golf lesson
occurredA two-year stint in the US Army took
Mundle away from his profession in 1955-56 But he managed to keep his golf game sharp as a member of the Fort knox golf team and in 1956 he was the runner-up in the Second Army tournament and he placed 13th in the All-Army tournament
Then it was back to the Willamette valley where he came into his own in the Portland area under head professionals Eddie Hogan at riverside Country Club and Bunny Mason at Columbia Edgewater
ldquoThose two people were very influential in my professional liferdquo Mundle said
ldquoEddie was a very fine teacher of the total golf operation and service was No 1 i learned how to run the pro shop how
Jake Hanson takes a few pointers on chipping from his instructor and mentor Al Mundle
Continued on pg 20 gt

people ltcontinued from pg 19
to market and merchandise mdash everything from how to run the club service program to the electric cart program to basically running the golf course
ldquoBunny was also a very fine operator of a golf shop and i also learned a lot about teaching from Bunny Sometimes you go along in life and there are certain mentors who help you along the way Anybody who says they made it by themselves is not being honest with themselves We have all had someone who has given us a little boost along the wayrdquo
Mundle took his first head professional job in 1965 at Overlake Golf and Country Club in Bellevue where he remained until 1981 At that point he returned to Eugene and was the head pro at the Eugene Country Club for three years followed by a six-year stint at the Bear Creek Country Club in Seattle
He also spent a short time at a golf course in Cottage Grove Ore before moving back to Eugene for a third time in 1993 to become the director of golf instruction at the river ridge Golf Course He remained at river ridge until his retirement last summer During his time there he helped out as the swing coach at UO under then-head coach Steve Nosler
Through it all Mundle served as president of the Washington PGA and the Pacific Northwest PGA and was a member of several National PGA committees As a player he participated in the Oregon Washington and Pacific Northwest opens as well as the Washington and Oregon PGA events One of his highlights was winning the Oregon Senior PGA Match-Play Championships in Bend in 1993
ldquoi felt i had an obligation to participaterdquo Mundle said ldquoi played a lot of golf including many many pro-ams and i won a couple of assistant championshipsrdquo
in addition to Crane Mundle also helped shape the careers of Jeff Quinney and Eric Johnson both of whom are from the Eugene area
Quinney won the United States Amateur championship in 2000 and represented the US in the Walker Cup in 2001 He has appeared in 128 PGA Tour events since 2007 placing second twice and third twice
Johnson played several years on the Asian Tour and one on the Nationwide Tour He is now a head professional at a

course in San rafael CalifldquoAnd there have been some others mdash
Brian Henninger Mike Gove a few others mdash who have called and wanted to discus their swingrdquo Mundle said ldquoNothing on a regular basis just one or two sessionsrdquo
is Hanson his next mdash and perhaps his last mdash prodigy
Thatrsquos a tricky question since Hanson came to golf late after a budding baseball career was derailed by a shoulder injury He was a first-team all-Big Nine Conference golf selection as a junior but has yet to qualify for state and his summer resume is thin because of his baseball background
Hansonrsquos original plan was to attend Walla Walla Community College and play golf for the Warriors with the hope of earning an NCAA Division i scholarship But he has since decided to enroll in Arizona State Universityrsquos Professional Golf Management program and try out for the ASU golf team as a walk on
ldquoMore than anything i think it came down to him evaluating his goalsrdquo said Jakersquos father Gary Hanson ldquoitrsquos everyonersquos dream to play on the PGA Tour but realistically he wants to be a golf pro and teach He loves
the gamerdquoAnd a degree in the PGM program
will provide Jake with the educational background he needs to be successful in any form of business his father added
Though his chances of making the ASU varsity team seem unlikely the PGM program provides a club golf team that participates in a series of tournaments throughout the year and gives Hanson a second playing option
And keeping your options open is optimum at this point Mundle said
ldquoi think his driving force at this time mdash and also his folks mdash is to get his education And then he can do whatever he wants if he doesnrsquot go into (the golfing business) immediately he will always have it as a backuprdquo
Sounds an awful lot like the advice Thomas Mundle offered his son back in the spring of 1952 when Al Mundle wanted to leave school after his sophomore year and test his wings on the PGA Tour And as we now know all these years later staying in school worked out pretty well for Al

T H E A T R EPOWER HOUSE
My director Terry Edward Moore told me his only direction from the artistic director was that it be ldquoperiodrdquo that is to say authentic to the time
ldquoMerry Wivesrdquo is the only one of Shakespearersquos plays that is set in his own time so it was decided to present it as if the actors were people of the time doing what would be a contemporary (to the late 16th century) play
i started to research the clothing of the time how it was constructed and what kinds of fabrics were available at the time mdash linens homespuns woolens for the common people and silks damasks velvets and furs for the upper classes i discovered that Elizabethan society was strictly regulated in terms of social classes and upward mobility was a little-known concept Once a yeoman always a yeoman i also discovered the set of rules and regulations called ldquosumptuary lawsrdquo which specifically dictated what types of fabrics trims furs and even what colors each class was allowed to wear
Since there are three distinct classes represented in ldquoMerry Wivesrdquo mdash merchant class soldiers and servants mdash i tried to give each class its own color palette based on these laws The overall palette of the show is based on colors actually in use at the time
The availability of dyes was limited (except for the nobility) so the palette consists of many shades of yellows and browns russets black some greens and blue-grays and of course wheat-colored unbleached linen i turned to the Dutch painter Brueghel for inspiration on how the common people looked and dressed
i also researched what kinds of dyes were used and where they came from Dyes were created from all sorts of different things such as walnut shell crushed beetles and all kinds of roots i found a website that sells these authentic dyestuffs so irsquom using the real thing to dye some of the linen pieces and will coordinate the contemporary fabrics to these authentic colors
Nearly every piece will need something done to it mdash altered in some way to fit the actor re-trimmed rigged invisibly for quick changes etc mdash so there is a lot of labor involved Also hats were a hugely important part of Elizabethan fashion all the way down to the poorest serf
Certain styles of hats were often associated with certain professions mdash eg doctors scholars mdash so there are a number of hats to build as well as headpieces for the women No self-respecting woman went about with her head uncovered
Putting together a show like this is like putting together a giant jigsaw puzzle and the pieces are the costumes that irsquove borrowed and rented from other theater companies in the Seattle area such as Seattle repertory Seattle Opera and the University of Washington as well as pieces from Oregon Shakespeare Festival i design the show and then go out into the world and try to find pieces that approximate my designs and palette as closely as possible (usually with some reworking first) The pieces that i cant find and dont want to compromise on i build from scratch

But thatrsquos exactly what longtime Walla Walla resident Larry Adams did for four years He was one of a select group of pilots for Marine One the helicopter counterpart of the presidential airplane Air Force One from 1970 to 1974

Long before Adams became the Walla Walla Airport manager he was transporting heads of state foreign dignitaries famous (and now infamous) Cabinet members the executive staff and President richard M Nixon during one of the nationrsquos most turbulent times the withdrawal from vietnam and the Watergate scandal
But to Adams a native of Northern idaho all that swirled around the Nixon presidency was the least of his concerns His job was to transport the president safely to Andrews Air Force Base or Camp David or fly any short flight required Safety always at a premium End of story
Many times Adams ferried President Nixon and his staff on short flights far away from home Air Force One might fly President Nixon to a summit or a meeting with a foreign head of state but Marine One and Adams were always nearby to shuttle the chief executive on short flights or to whisk him away from sudden danger
Pretty heady stuff for a fourth-grade teacher who had never thought about flying until a Marine recruiter offered him the opportunity Although Adams had watched planes take off and land at a nearby air base as a child he had never given serious thought to flying it was more a need for a bigger paycheck than passion that brought Adams to his destiny
He liked teaching but it just wasnrsquot paying the bills So Adams turned to the military and the Gi Bill After being unimpressed by other recruiters Adams took a liking to the fellow from the Marines for as Adams recalls the recruiter took an interest in him After about an hour of talking the recruiter suggested Adams might have the potential to be a pilot
Having easily passed some preliminary tests Adams was sent to flight school in Pensacola Fla and a stellar career was ready to take off He performed well in all the aircraft he piloted but he showed a special skill for helicopters
Up until 1965 fixed-wing airplanes were the staple of all military air combat But the military had been gearing up for a big change The helicopter was to become a major part of combat The Pentagon had been developing helicopters that would do much more than transport troops to bases Now they would assist in bombing
raids ground attacks and the evacuation of the injured from the point of combat This new breed of helicopters would also possess the ability to fight back and not be lame ducks as before the new H34 would tote machine guns on each side
These cutting-edge aircraft would travel at unprecedented speeds with newly discovered agility Gifted pilots were needed not those who merely possessed superior technical skills but those who also had the composure to fly straight into
enemy fire in the dead of night picking up injured soldiers or aiding air attacks
Adams was one of those pilots and he would be one of two squadron leaders for ldquoOperation Starliterdquo mdash the first major assault using helicopters The Marines were going straight into a North vietnamese regimental stronghold No one knew what to expect
ldquoWe lost a lot that first time inrdquo says Adams ldquoTwo crew chiefs were killed
Continued on pg 32 gt
In this newspaper clipping Larry Adams poses on the steps of the helicopter dubbed Marine One which he piloted for President Richard M Nixon

people ltcontinued from pg 31
four pilots were medevaced out because of their wounds i donrsquot think there was one helicopter that didnrsquot have a bunch of holes in it The one i flew in we got a lot of rounds in it Amazingly no one was hurt but when we got back the helicopter was so shot-up you couldnrsquot fly it anymore We lost 50 percent of our helicopters that dayrdquo
in the next 13 months Adams would fly many more missions often heading straight into anti-aircraft fire to pick up injured or killed soldiers He says he would see the flares signifying where the copter was supposed to land but frequently hersquod have to veer off because ground communication would say ldquoThe artillery is too hotrdquo Then there would be a window maybe two minutes maybe five when the helicopter could drop in and pick up the injured often being shot at as it waited for its passengers
Adams knew the best way to survive was to keep his focus ldquoin the daylight when you start your run in and yoursquore getting shot at Everything went to black and white for me i didnrsquot notice the green trees or the green rice paddies until we got out of there and then it would come back
to me i donrsquot know what that was i just didnrsquot see the colors irsquove talked to some other pilots and they described the same thingrdquo
in his two tours of duty in vietnam Adams would fly 880 combat missions in several types of helicopters and fixed-wing airplanes He received numerous medals including two Navy commendations for performance under combat conditions
Then the call came to fly for the president Before Adams could tote the commander in chief around in Marine One a thorough background check had to be done So thorough was the check that Adams said a friend from his hometown sent him a card that read ldquoAre you in some kind of trouble Jesus therersquos been a bunch of people around here with the dark grey suits and the skinny little ties Theyrsquore asking all these embarrassing questions about you like did you have drinking problem Did you have a gambling problem Do you know what Larryrsquos sexual preference wasrdquo
Adams chuckles ldquoit was pretty funnyrdquoAdams passed the grade and soon
he was flying President Nixon and his family to Camp David or picking up vice
President Spiro Agnew at the Pentagon or taking Secretary of State Henry kissinger or Secretary of Defense Alexander Haig to a classified meeting Although his flights varied from transporting foreign heads of state to flying members of the press the majority involved the president the vice president kissinger and Haig
The pilots did not speak to their travelers unless spoken to says Adams President Nixon usually looked in and asked them how they were kissinger never spoke Haig was good for a pat on the shoulder now and then but it was Agnew who conversed the most says Adams
Adams remembers ldquoOne time we picked him up at the Pentagon and we had taken off and had hit top altitude He usually would come up and look into the cockpit but this time he patted me on the shoulder and asked lsquoWell howrsquos it going today guysrsquordquo Adams replied ldquoNot bad sir and how about yourselfrdquo
Agnew answered ldquoMan they are really after my assrdquo He was talking about the press Adams says ldquoTwo weeks later he resignedrdquo
Adams recalls that his encounters with Agnew as defying the public perception
Adams far right gives instructions before a mission in Vietnam
Walla Walla LifestyLes 33
that Agnew was arrogant ldquoHe was always one of the nicest guys He was straightforward He looked like he had just stepped off the cover of Gentlemenrsquos Quarterly all the time He was very proper in the way he dressed but he had a sense of humor as wellrdquo
There were other humorous moments Adams recalls a certain reporter from CBS who had been a major thorn in President Nixonrsquos side was late for takeoff from the South Lawn of the White House one morning Just as Marine One was about to leave without him he came running across the lawn hollering and waving his arms The Secret Service agent supervising the flight told Adams to ldquojust gordquo The wind from the propellers whipped the reporterrsquos toupee right off his head and instead of continuing his run toward Marine One he reversed his field and tried feverishly to retrieve his toupee snagged in the hedges
ldquoEveryone got a pretty good chuckle out of thatrdquo
Of course there were somber times At one point Adams flew Cabinet members John Ehrlichman and Hr Haldeman to Camp David for a meeting with the president After only 15 minutes the two men returned and Marine One headed home Adams says it was a quiet flight He found out later the two men had been fired by President Nixon for their parts in the Watergate scandal
Whisking the president away from danger was a major part of being a pilot of Marine One Stationed across the river from the Capitol pilots awakened by an emergency alert had to be up in the air in five minutes This exercise was practiced often though never needed during Adamsrsquo tenure
One night however they thought it was The operator at the White House mistakenly hit the ldquoAlertrdquo button Marine One was in the air in five minutes
Although ground control had not spotted any enemy aircraft the operation was under way As Marine One closed in on the White House the operator at fault tried to alert everyone of his mistake but unfortunately used a poor choice of words to call off the operation
Adams chuckles as he says ldquoThe fella said lsquoThis is not an exercisersquo He was moved to another post i thinkrdquo
All levity aside the position required
the same kind of focus demanded of Adams in vietnam though it came in a different form
ldquoThere were three things the way you operated the aircraft and they were in this order safety comfort and speed Safety never gave in to comfort or speedrdquo says Adams ldquoOur job was just concentrating on doing our job it could have been anybody mdash we would do it the same way it could have been Fred Flintstone
ldquoThe difference between flying for the White House and in vietnam was we were flying a premier aircraft We had to keep it impeccably clean everything was scripted We had to have the lsquoopen-the-door timersquo down to two to four seconds in vietnam it was the stress of performing medevacs under fire or dropping troops under heavy artillery For Marine One it was the stress of doing the job rightrdquo
Also the stress of being away from onersquos family 200 days of the year wore on a Marine One pilot in 1974 after four years on the job the toll became too much and Adams stepped down
He would stay with the Marines for eight more years retiring in August 1982
By then he had received 44 Air Medals including the Joint Service Commendation and the Presidential Service Badge in his 20 years of service Adams flew seven different helicopters and five different fixed-wing planes
What makes an elite military pilot ldquoPilots who donrsquot have any misgivingsrdquo says Adams ldquoTheyrsquore totally prepared they know their aircraftrdquo
When talking about his colleagues on Marine One he adds ldquoNone were boasters They might brag about a great landing but they did not brag in spite of someone elserdquo
What did Adams love most about his flying days ldquoi enjoyed flying with the latest technology and the pristine quality of Marine One i loved the process of building my skills i could have flown another 40 years and i would still be learning thingsrdquo
is it any surprise his favorite hobby now is fly fishing

it is astonishing in many ways mdash that we are presented with two weeks of top-drawer music performed by top-drawer musi-cians that there are so many ways to encounter the music (many of them free) and that a rural community has provided the incu-
bator for such a cultural undertaking to name but a fewGranted we are not your average rural community having two
colleges a university a symphony a choral society a community band and music in the schools but letrsquos face it wersquore not exactly a cosmopolitan center of culture like New york either The Cham-ber Music Festival mdash and our continued support of it through some tough times mdash puts us in a category all our own

worked hard to start this event and to my great joy it has taken on an iden-tity of its own i hire the musicians and choose the music but the town its people and its environs make the festivalrdquo
The beauty of chamber music is its intimacy mdash smaller ensembles performing for smaller audiences it has been referred to as ldquothe music of friendsrdquo which seems so apt at this festival Free open rehearsals are held around town that provide not only a musical atmosphere in which to enjoy a latte or the ambiance of the kirkman House but which give a richer look into the machinations of a working ensemble
As one enthusiastic fan puts it ldquoi am not a musician and itrsquos fascinat-ing to watch these rehearsals to see the interactions of the musicians as they work out the snags make wry remarks and relate to each other in a whole different way than during a for-mal performance i get a glimpse into their personalities and what makes them tickrdquo
The festival supplies a generous of-fering of venues with free concerts for children and families relaxed evening programs at wineries and full concerts at the Foundry Chism Hall and Day-tonrsquos Liberty Theater
if you are lucky enough to live near the musiciansrsquo lodgings while they are in town you may also be treated to an ad hoc front-porch concert as the ensembles continue their rehearsals in more private settings The festival is about all of these ways mdash planned and accidental mdash to experience the enchantment of chamber music
it is also about historic continuity and the connection between past and present mdash relishing the existing canon while expanding the genre with con-temporary forms and voices
How is this accomplished in part by the annual commission of a new piece of music for the festival Chris-tie is committed to contributing to the broader chamber music repertoire and to providing the audience with the richest possible experience

ldquoFor classical music to be relevant there must be a conversation between the music of our time and the music of the pastrdquo he says
By commissioning a work for the festi-val each year Christie creates such a con-versation
This year the commission was given to John David Earnest Four festival commis-sions have preceded his and he is the sec-ond ldquolocalrdquo composer to be tapped add-ing another layer of relationship between community and event (in 2009 Whitman College professor David Glenn was given the nod)
As visiting adjunct professor of music at Whitman Earnest resides here for six weeks every semester His ldquoSecond Sym-phonyrdquo was written for and performed by the Walla Walla Symphony in October 2001
The challenge for the yearly commis-sionee is to compose a piece on demand within specific constraints of time place and instrumentation while expressing hisher own voice as an artist
Earnest has created ldquoCommedia Gal-leryrdquo a set of three movements for flute
viola and harp based on stock characters from the Commedia dellrsquoArte a popu-lar theatrical form that was influential in Europe for over 300 years Commedia characters improvised dialogue around set scenarios generally involving the struggles of young lovers to overcome hindrances to their romance and each character even-tually came to have a consistent set of at-tributes in speech mannerisms and cos-tume
Earnestrsquos ldquoGalleryrdquo gives us Arlecchi-no (Harlequin) an acrobatic and devious jester Pierrot the classic sad clown and finally Scaramouche a dandy and a brag-gart who is a coward at heart
in anticipation of this yearrsquos festival i am reminded of the scene in ldquoThe Music Manrdquo in which the town awaits the ar-rival of the Wells Fargo Wagon Potentially heaped with gifts and surprises it prom-ises connection to the larger world The WWCMF brings us all ldquosomethinrsquo specialrdquo mdash an enrichment of our community and our culture

Smith has gardened for years at his home at 38 Mulberry Court in College Place He used to grow vegetables and flowers now he is strictly focusing on flowers mdash with fabulous results roses delphiniums and lots of irises line the fence
ldquoirises mdash irsquove always enjoyed themrdquo he says ldquoThey take a little bit of weeding and watering but not much morerdquo itrsquos the gardenerrsquos dream mdash low maintenance with a big return
A retired orthopedic surgeon Smith has in the past gardened more extensively than he does now But he has enough plants to keep him busy His new project is planting more of the reblooming iris These are still hardy but you get twice the reward they bloom in the spring then again in the fall
ldquoTheyrsquore easy to grow and spectacular for a short time iris take less care than a lot of thingsrdquo Smith says
His secret for gardening is simple and therersquos no getting around it ldquoTime and workrdquo he laughs
Hersquos getting ready to start in the garden ldquoi need to clean out the leaves and the old foliage of the irisrdquo
in addition to the basic cleaning and maintenance Smith just decides how many plants to keep Bulb flowers are hardy and they multiply on their own
ldquoAfter five years you usually have to separate the bulbs when they get too thick i donrsquot have room to add more i put in the new re-blooming onesrdquo he explains ldquoi may add more and a few other thingsrdquo
But in a garden you can always try something new or rearrange existing plants often with a spectacular outcome

itrsquos an odd location since it can only be seen as yoursquore leaving town but it always makes me smile This valley my adopted home is indeed a great place to be
i recently finished reading the great Western writer Wallace Stegnerrsquos book ldquoThe Sound of Mountain Waterrdquo One of his essays traces his nomadic childhood which left him feeling rootless and without a place that he felt he could call home
i identify with his feeling of not belonging i was born to a single woman from Massachusetts in a New york City hospital i stayed a scant few days before being placed with an adoption agency Born in a place i had no familial connection to i was immediately deprived of my biological family Most of my childhood was spent in suburban Cleveland Ohio Moves to upstate New york New England and Pennsylvania brought me no closer to calling any place home i loved living in the western Massachusetts town of Stockbridge but the multigenerational denizens of the town left few openings for newcomers like me i lived in central Pennsylvania for several decades but felt detached from the deep roots that most people had in the area
When we came west (for my husband a homecoming to his Oregon roots for me a new experience) i noticed that even in long-established towns like Walla Walla there is ample room for newcomers who want to be
part of the community And most folks who choose to come here donrsquot seem to want to change the valley they prefer to embrace it
While the occasional newbie whines about the lack of Whole Foods or Nordstrom they soon discover our farmers markets the wide variety of local shops and boutiques and our world-class restaurants They fall in love with our charming downtowns the small-town friendliness of the people and our kid-friendly environment Then therersquos the holiday parade the fair the ever-present Blue Mountains the parks the museums the wineries mdash really whatrsquos not to like The communities of our valley represent America at its best
irsquom a newspaper junkie i love to read everything from news to sports to classifieds mdash even the obituaries The obits are a fascinating window on our valley Many of the people chronicled were born here some lived all their lives here inextricably bound to this place But a number of people came here from other places often far away and have made a mark on our area Which makes me wonder mdash is a place any less of a hometown because you choose it or is it based primarily on the happenstance of your birth it seems that therersquos room for both paths to calling this wonderful valley home
itrsquos also our strength because collectively as a community we bring both deep familial and cultural traditions as well as the fresh perspective of newcomers to our area irsquom glad mdash after decades of searching mdash that i finally found my hometown a place that feels just right

The old Frenchtown schoolhouse built in 1915 with the stately bell tower still stands it has been a historic fixture in the Walla Walla valley that many of us have grown up with even if we never attended classes there One can still stride up the long sidewalk to the large heavy carved doors with a feeling of reverence and trepidation mdash as if it were the first day of school mdash while imagining generations of children playing on the manicured grounds
in the 1970s the old schoolhouse classrooms found themselves empty of childrenrsquos laughter But in 1983 Jean and Baker Ferguson breathed new life into the old building founding what would become one of the premier wineries in Washington LrsquoEcole No 41
The name was historically im-portant in two ways ldquoLrsquoEcolerdquo French for ldquothe schoolrdquo recognized the French men and women who settled the area and ldquo41rdquo was the numerical designation of the school district
The Fergusonsrsquo first crush of 1983 was resting in the barrel when the following year they asked their elementary school-aged family members to draw an image that would best reflect the new project
The $100 prize went to an 8-year-old cousin whose watercolor interpretation of the old schoolhouse became the template for a wine label it became an iconic label known to wine lovers around the world
in 1989 the second generation of the family Jean and Bakerrsquos daughter and son-
in-law Megan and Martin (Marty) Clubb became the new proprietors of the winery Marty became the general manager and winemaker and would lead the small artisan winery to new heights mdash it would eventually produce more than 30000 cases annually
At the same time the Washington state wine industry was booming and would soon become the nationrsquos second-largest wine producer The area would become one of the premium wine-producing regions in the United States
Marty also became a pioneer in the

Washington state wine industry as he became a founder and activist in many of the wine industryrsquos foundations and alliances The family-owned winery also partnered with some of the most prestigious vineyards in the state LrsquoEcole No 41 has been honored nine consecutive years by Wine amp Spirits magazine as ldquoWinery of the yearrdquo becoming the second Washington winery inducted into the Hall of Fame
There is a third-generation that has grown up around the winery and will eventually become caretakers of this legacy Meganrsquos and Martyrsquos children Jeanrsquos and Bakerrsquos grandchildren rebecca and riley Clubb had their own meaningful influence on the label with their childhood drawings on the labelrsquos chalkboard image
riley is a 2009 graduate of Whitman College and is employed at the winery rebecca is enrolled in Washington State Universityrsquos wine management program and expected to graduate in 2012
The winery will soon celebrate its 30th birthday The wines produced at the old schoolhouse are refined with true varietal character and can stand up against many coveted wines from France mdash and they have Now that LrsquoEcole is a top player in the world of wine the whimsical label on its bottles is no longer truly indicative of the sophisticated gold and dark-red liquids behind the glass
ldquoLooking to the future we wanted our label to reflect the winery we have becomerdquo says Marty Clubb
This year the winery will unveil a new label it will still depict the iconic schoolhouse but with deeper colors and a new texture There will be a distinct difference among the labels depending on the vineyards used Wines produced from Columbia valley vineyards will have a soft charcoal-colored background label and the labels for the wines produced from Walla Walla vineyards will be more sepia-toned
Another distinctive change will be the de-emphasizing of the ldquoNo 41rdquo as generations of wine lovers have often referred to the winery as ldquoLrsquoEcolerdquo
The new label will be a timeless reminder of the past as well as a welcome to future generations

it was 1954 the year he graduated from the University of Oregon and two female students from the university were interested in learning some of the finer points of the game
ldquoit was probably the worst lesson anybody has ever givenrdquo Mundle exclaimed shaking his head in dismay ldquoThese two young ladies were looking for some help and i worked with them for an hour-and-a-half And at the end of that time i said lsquoi have done such a poor job i will pay you for the time i have put you through this torturersquordquo

Painful as it was the lesson learned proved to be a career-launching moment for Mundle who dedicated himself to his trade and spent a lifetime in the golf business successfully working up and down the i-5 corridor as course operator teacher and player
Fifty-seven years after that first teaching debacle Mundle now 79 years old is retired and living in Walla Walla He and his wife Ann relocated here last summer determined to give up teaching golf and spend more time playing the game they both love
ldquoAfter all of these years of teaching i feel that this is the time to lay it asiderdquo Mundle said ldquoi will still do a little studying of the golf swing and methods and i will be involved with some of the other local professionals in some cracker-barrel sessions when they get together to discuss teaching methods problems and how to solve them
ldquoBut i really came here not to teach but to play some golfrdquo
That was the plan anyway before he was introduced to Walla Walla High School senior Jake Hanson who was looking for a little extra help with his game heading into his final year on the links as a Blue Devil
Terri Hanson Jakersquos mother was aware of Mundlersquos reputation as a teaching professional and heard through the grapevine he was living in Walla Walla
ldquoBeing the mom i am i called him one dayrdquo Terri remembered ldquoi told him that Jakersquos golf game was at a standstill i asked him to take a look at Jake and he agreed to come and meet us and get a feel for where Jake was at
ldquoHe did and before you knew it they were putting on our hardwood floors The next day they agreed to get together at Wine valley mdash they were there for four hours and it has been an amazing connection right from the beginning
ldquoAl is an amazing Christian man who is so well-respected in his fieldrdquo Terri added ldquoAnd he just demands respect irsquom seeing my son of 17 all of a sudden growing uprdquo
Mundle concedes he is intrigued by Hansonrsquos character and potential And

Hanson holds his new mentor in high esteem
ldquoirsquove learned a tremendous amountrdquo Hanson said ldquoHe has a way of getting through to me in a positive way He got through to me that i am so much better than i thought i could be He has more confidence in me than i have in myself
ldquoHe has one of the best golf swings i have ever seen and he is still working on his own gamerdquo
Mundle said Hanson reminds him of former University of Oregon player Ben Crane who now plays on the PGA Tour Crane has been playing professionally since 2007 and earned nearly $3 million on the tour in 2010
ldquoi was Benrsquos swing coach at Oregon and Jake is somewhat similarrdquo Mundle said ldquoBen worked harder than anybody on the whole golf team He would put in as much
time as three or four others combined and Jake is very much the same way Hersquos very dedicatedrdquo
However Mundle insists that helping Hanson with his game is a one-time situation
After playing just six rounds of golf last year Mundle is determined that he and Ann will spend a lot more time on the golf course as they get acquainted with their new hometown
ldquoThatrsquos an all-time lowrdquo he said of the six rounds played in 2010 ldquoMostly it was the move and all mdash a new house putting in lawn fencing shelving in the garage mdash all the little things of getting settled
ldquoBut this was a good move for us We love it here We enjoy the weather and the people you can walk down the street and people look you in the eye and say lsquoHellorsquo i love that friendlinessrdquo
Mundle grew up in Eugene and graduated from University High School in 1950 He knew he said from the time he was in the seventh grade he wanted to make golf his lifersquos work
ldquoyou might say that i had a little parental directionrdquo Mundle said ldquoMy dad went to the University of St Andrews in Scotland and he played golf at the St Andrews Old Course And my mother also played golfrdquo
After high school Mundle enrolled at the University of Oregon and played three years of varsity golf during an era when there was no such thing as a golf scholarship
ldquoThe only thing we ever received was a half-a-dozen golf balls if we went into a tournamentrdquo Mundle recalled ldquoWhen i went to the NCAA Championships in Texas my senior year i was given a new
people ltcontinued from pg 17
Walla Walla LifestyLes 19
pair of golf shoes but that was itldquoWe bought all of our own gear mdash
clubs bags rain gear everything itrsquos a whole different ball game today They have everythingrdquo
At the end of his sophomore year at Oregon Mundle had it in his mind to ldquotest my golf on the PGA Tourrdquo he said But his father an English professor at the university discouraged him
ldquoHe said lsquoGet your education first then you can do whatever you wantrsquordquo Mundle said ldquoit was just as well i saved a lot of wear and tear mdash and money i was an Ok player but not of that caliberrdquo
Mundle still has fond memories of his collegiate playing career however
ldquoi played three years for the university mdash you werenrsquot allowed to play as freshmen mdash and Oregon always had fine golf teamsrdquo Mundle said ldquoit was mostly match
play then and i was there during the time that the school went seven straight years without losing a (team) dual matchrdquo
During his senior year Mundle qualified for the NCAA Championships in Houston From a field of about 160 players Mundle made it as far as the quarterfinal round
He graduated in 1954 with a degree in history which he said he never really used
ldquoMy dad was in the top one percent of his class at St Andrewsrdquo Mundle said ldquoMy mother was also in the top part of her class and my older brother Pete was in the top of his class And then i came alongrdquo
His first golf job was as an assistant pro at his home course the Laurelwood Golf Course a position he accepted shortly after graduating from UO This was when and where the infamous first golf lesson
occurredA two-year stint in the US Army took
Mundle away from his profession in 1955-56 But he managed to keep his golf game sharp as a member of the Fort knox golf team and in 1956 he was the runner-up in the Second Army tournament and he placed 13th in the All-Army tournament
Then it was back to the Willamette valley where he came into his own in the Portland area under head professionals Eddie Hogan at riverside Country Club and Bunny Mason at Columbia Edgewater
ldquoThose two people were very influential in my professional liferdquo Mundle said
ldquoEddie was a very fine teacher of the total golf operation and service was No 1 i learned how to run the pro shop how

people ltcontinued from pg 19
to market and merchandise mdash everything from how to run the club service program to the electric cart program to basically running the golf course
ldquoBunny was also a very fine operator of a golf shop and i also learned a lot about teaching from Bunny Sometimes you go along in life and there are certain mentors who help you along the way Anybody who says they made it by themselves is not being honest with themselves We have all had someone who has given us a little boost along the wayrdquo
Mundle took his first head professional job in 1965 at Overlake Golf and Country Club in Bellevue where he remained until 1981 At that point he returned to Eugene and was the head pro at the Eugene Country Club for three years followed by a six-year stint at the Bear Creek Country Club in Seattle
He also spent a short time at a golf course in Cottage Grove Ore before moving back to Eugene for a third time in 1993 to become the director of golf instruction at the river ridge Golf Course He remained at river ridge until his retirement last summer During his time there he helped out as the swing coach at UO under then-head coach Steve Nosler
Through it all Mundle served as president of the Washington PGA and the Pacific Northwest PGA and was a member of several National PGA committees As a player he participated in the Oregon Washington and Pacific Northwest opens as well as the Washington and Oregon PGA events One of his highlights was winning the Oregon Senior PGA Match-Play Championships in Bend in 1993
ldquoi felt i had an obligation to participaterdquo Mundle said ldquoi played a lot of golf including many many pro-ams and i won a couple of assistant championshipsrdquo
in addition to Crane Mundle also helped shape the careers of Jeff Quinney and Eric Johnson both of whom are from the Eugene area
Quinney won the United States Amateur championship in 2000 and represented the US in the Walker Cup in 2001 He has appeared in 128 PGA Tour events since 2007 placing second twice and third twice
Johnson played several years on the Asian Tour and one on the Nationwide Tour He is now a head professional at a

course in San rafael CalifldquoAnd there have been some others mdash
Brian Henninger Mike Gove a few others mdash who have called and wanted to discus their swingrdquo Mundle said ldquoNothing on a regular basis just one or two sessionsrdquo
is Hanson his next mdash and perhaps his last mdash prodigy
Thatrsquos a tricky question since Hanson came to golf late after a budding baseball career was derailed by a shoulder injury He was a first-team all-Big Nine Conference golf selection as a junior but has yet to qualify for state and his summer resume is thin because of his baseball background
Hansonrsquos original plan was to attend Walla Walla Community College and play golf for the Warriors with the hope of earning an NCAA Division i scholarship But he has since decided to enroll in Arizona State Universityrsquos Professional Golf Management program and try out for the ASU golf team as a walk on
ldquoMore than anything i think it came down to him evaluating his goalsrdquo said Jakersquos father Gary Hanson ldquoitrsquos everyonersquos dream to play on the PGA Tour but realistically he wants to be a golf pro and teach He loves
the gamerdquoAnd a degree in the PGM program
will provide Jake with the educational background he needs to be successful in any form of business his father added
Though his chances of making the ASU varsity team seem unlikely the PGM program provides a club golf team that participates in a series of tournaments throughout the year and gives Hanson a second playing option
And keeping your options open is optimum at this point Mundle said
ldquoi think his driving force at this time mdash and also his folks mdash is to get his education And then he can do whatever he wants if he doesnrsquot go into (the golfing business) immediately he will always have it as a backuprdquo
Sounds an awful lot like the advice Thomas Mundle offered his son back in the spring of 1952 when Al Mundle wanted to leave school after his sophomore year and test his wings on the PGA Tour And as we now know all these years later staying in school worked out pretty well for Al

T H E A T R EPOWER HOUSE
My director Terry Edward Moore told me his only direction from the artistic director was that it be ldquoperiodrdquo that is to say authentic to the time
ldquoMerry Wivesrdquo is the only one of Shakespearersquos plays that is set in his own time so it was decided to present it as if the actors were people of the time doing what would be a contemporary (to the late 16th century) play
i started to research the clothing of the time how it was constructed and what kinds of fabrics were available at the time mdash linens homespuns woolens for the common people and silks damasks velvets and furs for the upper classes i discovered that Elizabethan society was strictly regulated in terms of social classes and upward mobility was a little-known concept Once a yeoman always a yeoman i also discovered the set of rules and regulations called ldquosumptuary lawsrdquo which specifically dictated what types of fabrics trims furs and even what colors each class was allowed to wear
Since there are three distinct classes represented in ldquoMerry Wivesrdquo mdash merchant class soldiers and servants mdash i tried to give each class its own color palette based on these laws The overall palette of the show is based on colors actually in use at the time
The availability of dyes was limited (except for the nobility) so the palette consists of many shades of yellows and browns russets black some greens and blue-grays and of course wheat-colored unbleached linen i turned to the Dutch painter Brueghel for inspiration on how the common people looked and dressed
i also researched what kinds of dyes were used and where they came from Dyes were created from all sorts of different things such as walnut shell crushed beetles and all kinds of roots i found a website that sells these authentic dyestuffs so irsquom using the real thing to dye some of the linen pieces and will coordinate the contemporary fabrics to these authentic colors
Nearly every piece will need something done to it mdash altered in some way to fit the actor re-trimmed rigged invisibly for quick changes etc mdash so there is a lot of labor involved Also hats were a hugely important part of Elizabethan fashion all the way down to the poorest serf
Certain styles of hats were often associated with certain professions mdash eg doctors scholars mdash so there are a number of hats to build as well as headpieces for the women No self-respecting woman went about with her head uncovered
Putting together a show like this is like putting together a giant jigsaw puzzle and the pieces are the costumes that irsquove borrowed and rented from other theater companies in the Seattle area such as Seattle repertory Seattle Opera and the University of Washington as well as pieces from Oregon Shakespeare Festival i design the show and then go out into the world and try to find pieces that approximate my designs and palette as closely as possible (usually with some reworking first) The pieces that i cant find and dont want to compromise on i build from scratch

But thatrsquos exactly what longtime Walla Walla resident Larry Adams did for four years He was one of a select group of pilots for Marine One the helicopter counterpart of the presidential airplane Air Force One from 1970 to 1974

Long before Adams became the Walla Walla Airport manager he was transporting heads of state foreign dignitaries famous (and now infamous) Cabinet members the executive staff and President richard M Nixon during one of the nationrsquos most turbulent times the withdrawal from vietnam and the Watergate scandal
But to Adams a native of Northern idaho all that swirled around the Nixon presidency was the least of his concerns His job was to transport the president safely to Andrews Air Force Base or Camp David or fly any short flight required Safety always at a premium End of story
Many times Adams ferried President Nixon and his staff on short flights far away from home Air Force One might fly President Nixon to a summit or a meeting with a foreign head of state but Marine One and Adams were always nearby to shuttle the chief executive on short flights or to whisk him away from sudden danger
Pretty heady stuff for a fourth-grade teacher who had never thought about flying until a Marine recruiter offered him the opportunity Although Adams had watched planes take off and land at a nearby air base as a child he had never given serious thought to flying it was more a need for a bigger paycheck than passion that brought Adams to his destiny
He liked teaching but it just wasnrsquot paying the bills So Adams turned to the military and the Gi Bill After being unimpressed by other recruiters Adams took a liking to the fellow from the Marines for as Adams recalls the recruiter took an interest in him After about an hour of talking the recruiter suggested Adams might have the potential to be a pilot
Having easily passed some preliminary tests Adams was sent to flight school in Pensacola Fla and a stellar career was ready to take off He performed well in all the aircraft he piloted but he showed a special skill for helicopters
Up until 1965 fixed-wing airplanes were the staple of all military air combat But the military had been gearing up for a big change The helicopter was to become a major part of combat The Pentagon had been developing helicopters that would do much more than transport troops to bases Now they would assist in bombing
raids ground attacks and the evacuation of the injured from the point of combat This new breed of helicopters would also possess the ability to fight back and not be lame ducks as before the new H34 would tote machine guns on each side
These cutting-edge aircraft would travel at unprecedented speeds with newly discovered agility Gifted pilots were needed not those who merely possessed superior technical skills but those who also had the composure to fly straight into
enemy fire in the dead of night picking up injured soldiers or aiding air attacks
Adams was one of those pilots and he would be one of two squadron leaders for ldquoOperation Starliterdquo mdash the first major assault using helicopters The Marines were going straight into a North vietnamese regimental stronghold No one knew what to expect
ldquoWe lost a lot that first time inrdquo says Adams ldquoTwo crew chiefs were killed

four pilots were medevaced out because of their wounds i donrsquot think there was one helicopter that didnrsquot have a bunch of holes in it The one i flew in we got a lot of rounds in it Amazingly no one was hurt but when we got back the helicopter was so shot-up you couldnrsquot fly it anymore We lost 50 percent of our helicopters that dayrdquo
in the next 13 months Adams would fly many more missions often heading straight into anti-aircraft fire to pick up injured or killed soldiers He says he would see the flares signifying where the copter was supposed to land but frequently hersquod have to veer off because ground communication would say ldquoThe artillery is too hotrdquo Then there would be a window maybe two minutes maybe five when the helicopter could drop in and pick up the injured often being shot at as it waited for its passengers
Adams knew the best way to survive was to keep his focus ldquoin the daylight when you start your run in and yoursquore getting shot at Everything went to black and white for me i didnrsquot notice the green trees or the green rice paddies until we got out of there and then it would come back
to me i donrsquot know what that was i just didnrsquot see the colors irsquove talked to some other pilots and they described the same thingrdquo
in his two tours of duty in vietnam Adams would fly 880 combat missions in several types of helicopters and fixed-wing airplanes He received numerous medals including two Navy commendations for performance under combat conditions
Then the call came to fly for the president Before Adams could tote the commander in chief around in Marine One a thorough background check had to be done So thorough was the check that Adams said a friend from his hometown sent him a card that read ldquoAre you in some kind of trouble Jesus therersquos been a bunch of people around here with the dark grey suits and the skinny little ties Theyrsquore asking all these embarrassing questions about you like did you have drinking problem Did you have a gambling problem Do you know what Larryrsquos sexual preference wasrdquo
Adams chuckles ldquoit was pretty funnyrdquoAdams passed the grade and soon
he was flying President Nixon and his family to Camp David or picking up vice
President Spiro Agnew at the Pentagon or taking Secretary of State Henry kissinger or Secretary of Defense Alexander Haig to a classified meeting Although his flights varied from transporting foreign heads of state to flying members of the press the majority involved the president the vice president kissinger and Haig
The pilots did not speak to their travelers unless spoken to says Adams President Nixon usually looked in and asked them how they were kissinger never spoke Haig was good for a pat on the shoulder now and then but it was Agnew who conversed the most says Adams
Adams remembers ldquoOne time we picked him up at the Pentagon and we had taken off and had hit top altitude He usually would come up and look into the cockpit but this time he patted me on the shoulder and asked lsquoWell howrsquos it going today guysrsquordquo Adams replied ldquoNot bad sir and how about yourselfrdquo
Agnew answered ldquoMan they are really after my assrdquo He was talking about the press Adams says ldquoTwo weeks later he resignedrdquo
Adams recalls that his encounters with Agnew as defying the public perception
Adams far right gives instructions before a mission in Vietnam
Walla Walla LifestyLes 33
that Agnew was arrogant ldquoHe was always one of the nicest guys He was straightforward He looked like he had just stepped off the cover of Gentlemenrsquos Quarterly all the time He was very proper in the way he dressed but he had a sense of humor as wellrdquo
There were other humorous moments Adams recalls a certain reporter from CBS who had been a major thorn in President Nixonrsquos side was late for takeoff from the South Lawn of the White House one morning Just as Marine One was about to leave without him he came running across the lawn hollering and waving his arms The Secret Service agent supervising the flight told Adams to ldquojust gordquo The wind from the propellers whipped the reporterrsquos toupee right off his head and instead of continuing his run toward Marine One he reversed his field and tried feverishly to retrieve his toupee snagged in the hedges
ldquoEveryone got a pretty good chuckle out of thatrdquo
Of course there were somber times At one point Adams flew Cabinet members John Ehrlichman and Hr Haldeman to Camp David for a meeting with the president After only 15 minutes the two men returned and Marine One headed home Adams says it was a quiet flight He found out later the two men had been fired by President Nixon for their parts in the Watergate scandal
Whisking the president away from danger was a major part of being a pilot of Marine One Stationed across the river from the Capitol pilots awakened by an emergency alert had to be up in the air in five minutes This exercise was practiced often though never needed during Adamsrsquo tenure
One night however they thought it was The operator at the White House mistakenly hit the ldquoAlertrdquo button Marine One was in the air in five minutes
Although ground control had not spotted any enemy aircraft the operation was under way As Marine One closed in on the White House the operator at fault tried to alert everyone of his mistake but unfortunately used a poor choice of words to call off the operation
Adams chuckles as he says ldquoThe fella said lsquoThis is not an exercisersquo He was moved to another post i thinkrdquo
All levity aside the position required
the same kind of focus demanded of Adams in vietnam though it came in a different form
ldquoThere were three things the way you operated the aircraft and they were in this order safety comfort and speed Safety never gave in to comfort or speedrdquo says Adams ldquoOur job was just concentrating on doing our job it could have been anybody mdash we would do it the same way it could have been Fred Flintstone
ldquoThe difference between flying for the White House and in vietnam was we were flying a premier aircraft We had to keep it impeccably clean everything was scripted We had to have the lsquoopen-the-door timersquo down to two to four seconds in vietnam it was the stress of performing medevacs under fire or dropping troops under heavy artillery For Marine One it was the stress of doing the job rightrdquo
Also the stress of being away from onersquos family 200 days of the year wore on a Marine One pilot in 1974 after four years on the job the toll became too much and Adams stepped down
He would stay with the Marines for eight more years retiring in August 1982
By then he had received 44 Air Medals including the Joint Service Commendation and the Presidential Service Badge in his 20 years of service Adams flew seven different helicopters and five different fixed-wing planes
What makes an elite military pilot ldquoPilots who donrsquot have any misgivingsrdquo says Adams ldquoTheyrsquore totally prepared they know their aircraftrdquo
When talking about his colleagues on Marine One he adds ldquoNone were boasters They might brag about a great landing but they did not brag in spite of someone elserdquo
What did Adams love most about his flying days ldquoi enjoyed flying with the latest technology and the pristine quality of Marine One i loved the process of building my skills i could have flown another 40 years and i would still be learning thingsrdquo
is it any surprise his favorite hobby now is fly fishing

it is astonishing in many ways mdash that we are presented with two weeks of top-drawer music performed by top-drawer musi-cians that there are so many ways to encounter the music (many of them free) and that a rural community has provided the incu-
bator for such a cultural undertaking to name but a fewGranted we are not your average rural community having two
colleges a university a symphony a choral society a community band and music in the schools but letrsquos face it wersquore not exactly a cosmopolitan center of culture like New york either The Cham-ber Music Festival mdash and our continued support of it through some tough times mdash puts us in a category all our own

worked hard to start this event and to my great joy it has taken on an iden-tity of its own i hire the musicians and choose the music but the town its people and its environs make the festivalrdquo
The beauty of chamber music is its intimacy mdash smaller ensembles performing for smaller audiences it has been referred to as ldquothe music of friendsrdquo which seems so apt at this festival Free open rehearsals are held around town that provide not only a musical atmosphere in which to enjoy a latte or the ambiance of the kirkman House but which give a richer look into the machinations of a working ensemble
As one enthusiastic fan puts it ldquoi am not a musician and itrsquos fascinat-ing to watch these rehearsals to see the interactions of the musicians as they work out the snags make wry remarks and relate to each other in a whole different way than during a for-mal performance i get a glimpse into their personalities and what makes them tickrdquo
The festival supplies a generous of-fering of venues with free concerts for children and families relaxed evening programs at wineries and full concerts at the Foundry Chism Hall and Day-tonrsquos Liberty Theater
if you are lucky enough to live near the musiciansrsquo lodgings while they are in town you may also be treated to an ad hoc front-porch concert as the ensembles continue their rehearsals in more private settings The festival is about all of these ways mdash planned and accidental mdash to experience the enchantment of chamber music
it is also about historic continuity and the connection between past and present mdash relishing the existing canon while expanding the genre with con-temporary forms and voices
How is this accomplished in part by the annual commission of a new piece of music for the festival Chris-tie is committed to contributing to the broader chamber music repertoire and to providing the audience with the richest possible experience

ldquoFor classical music to be relevant there must be a conversation between the music of our time and the music of the pastrdquo he says
By commissioning a work for the festi-val each year Christie creates such a con-versation
This year the commission was given to John David Earnest Four festival commis-sions have preceded his and he is the sec-ond ldquolocalrdquo composer to be tapped add-ing another layer of relationship between community and event (in 2009 Whitman College professor David Glenn was given the nod)
As visiting adjunct professor of music at Whitman Earnest resides here for six weeks every semester His ldquoSecond Sym-phonyrdquo was written for and performed by the Walla Walla Symphony in October 2001
The challenge for the yearly commis-sionee is to compose a piece on demand within specific constraints of time place and instrumentation while expressing hisher own voice as an artist
Earnest has created ldquoCommedia Gal-leryrdquo a set of three movements for flute
viola and harp based on stock characters from the Commedia dellrsquoArte a popu-lar theatrical form that was influential in Europe for over 300 years Commedia characters improvised dialogue around set scenarios generally involving the struggles of young lovers to overcome hindrances to their romance and each character even-tually came to have a consistent set of at-tributes in speech mannerisms and cos-tume
Earnestrsquos ldquoGalleryrdquo gives us Arlecchi-no (Harlequin) an acrobatic and devious jester Pierrot the classic sad clown and finally Scaramouche a dandy and a brag-gart who is a coward at heart
in anticipation of this yearrsquos festival i am reminded of the scene in ldquoThe Music Manrdquo in which the town awaits the ar-rival of the Wells Fargo Wagon Potentially heaped with gifts and surprises it prom-ises connection to the larger world The WWCMF brings us all ldquosomethinrsquo specialrdquo mdash an enrichment of our community and our culture

Smith has gardened for years at his home at 38 Mulberry Court in College Place He used to grow vegetables and flowers now he is strictly focusing on flowers mdash with fabulous results roses delphiniums and lots of irises line the fence
ldquoirises mdash irsquove always enjoyed themrdquo he says ldquoThey take a little bit of weeding and watering but not much morerdquo itrsquos the gardenerrsquos dream mdash low maintenance with a big return
A retired orthopedic surgeon Smith has in the past gardened more extensively than he does now But he has enough plants to keep him busy His new project is planting more of the reblooming iris These are still hardy but you get twice the reward they bloom in the spring then again in the fall
ldquoTheyrsquore easy to grow and spectacular for a short time iris take less care than a lot of thingsrdquo Smith says
His secret for gardening is simple and therersquos no getting around it ldquoTime and workrdquo he laughs
Hersquos getting ready to start in the garden ldquoi need to clean out the leaves and the old foliage of the irisrdquo
in addition to the basic cleaning and maintenance Smith just decides how many plants to keep Bulb flowers are hardy and they multiply on their own
ldquoAfter five years you usually have to separate the bulbs when they get too thick i donrsquot have room to add more i put in the new re-blooming onesrdquo he explains ldquoi may add more and a few other thingsrdquo
But in a garden you can always try something new or rearrange existing plants often with a spectacular outcome

itrsquos an odd location since it can only be seen as yoursquore leaving town but it always makes me smile This valley my adopted home is indeed a great place to be
i recently finished reading the great Western writer Wallace Stegnerrsquos book ldquoThe Sound of Mountain Waterrdquo One of his essays traces his nomadic childhood which left him feeling rootless and without a place that he felt he could call home
i identify with his feeling of not belonging i was born to a single woman from Massachusetts in a New york City hospital i stayed a scant few days before being placed with an adoption agency Born in a place i had no familial connection to i was immediately deprived of my biological family Most of my childhood was spent in suburban Cleveland Ohio Moves to upstate New york New England and Pennsylvania brought me no closer to calling any place home i loved living in the western Massachusetts town of Stockbridge but the multigenerational denizens of the town left few openings for newcomers like me i lived in central Pennsylvania for several decades but felt detached from the deep roots that most people had in the area
When we came west (for my husband a homecoming to his Oregon roots for me a new experience) i noticed that even in long-established towns like Walla Walla there is ample room for newcomers who want to be
part of the community And most folks who choose to come here donrsquot seem to want to change the valley they prefer to embrace it
While the occasional newbie whines about the lack of Whole Foods or Nordstrom they soon discover our farmers markets the wide variety of local shops and boutiques and our world-class restaurants They fall in love with our charming downtowns the small-town friendliness of the people and our kid-friendly environment Then therersquos the holiday parade the fair the ever-present Blue Mountains the parks the museums the wineries mdash really whatrsquos not to like The communities of our valley represent America at its best
irsquom a newspaper junkie i love to read everything from news to sports to classifieds mdash even the obituaries The obits are a fascinating window on our valley Many of the people chronicled were born here some lived all their lives here inextricably bound to this place But a number of people came here from other places often far away and have made a mark on our area Which makes me wonder mdash is a place any less of a hometown because you choose it or is it based primarily on the happenstance of your birth it seems that therersquos room for both paths to calling this wonderful valley home
itrsquos also our strength because collectively as a community we bring both deep familial and cultural traditions as well as the fresh perspective of newcomers to our area irsquom glad mdash after decades of searching mdash that i finally found my hometown a place that feels just right

Washington state wine industry as he became a founder and activist in many of the wine industryrsquos foundations and alliances The family-owned winery also partnered with some of the most prestigious vineyards in the state LrsquoEcole No 41 has been honored nine consecutive years by Wine amp Spirits magazine as ldquoWinery of the yearrdquo becoming the second Washington winery inducted into the Hall of Fame
There is a third-generation that has grown up around the winery and will eventually become caretakers of this legacy Meganrsquos and Martyrsquos children Jeanrsquos and Bakerrsquos grandchildren rebecca and riley Clubb had their own meaningful influence on the label with their childhood drawings on the labelrsquos chalkboard image
riley is a 2009 graduate of Whitman College and is employed at the winery rebecca is enrolled in Washington State Universityrsquos wine management program and expected to graduate in 2012
The winery will soon celebrate its 30th birthday The wines produced at the old schoolhouse are refined with true varietal character and can stand up against many coveted wines from France mdash and they have Now that LrsquoEcole is a top player in the world of wine the whimsical label on its bottles is no longer truly indicative of the sophisticated gold and dark-red liquids behind the glass
ldquoLooking to the future we wanted our label to reflect the winery we have becomerdquo says Marty Clubb
This year the winery will unveil a new label it will still depict the iconic schoolhouse but with deeper colors and a new texture There will be a distinct difference among the labels depending on the vineyards used Wines produced from Columbia valley vineyards will have a soft charcoal-colored background label and the labels for the wines produced from Walla Walla vineyards will be more sepia-toned
Another distinctive change will be the de-emphasizing of the ldquoNo 41rdquo as generations of wine lovers have often referred to the winery as ldquoLrsquoEcolerdquo
The new label will be a timeless reminder of the past as well as a welcome to future generations

it was 1954 the year he graduated from the University of Oregon and two female students from the university were interested in learning some of the finer points of the game
ldquoit was probably the worst lesson anybody has ever givenrdquo Mundle exclaimed shaking his head in dismay ldquoThese two young ladies were looking for some help and i worked with them for an hour-and-a-half And at the end of that time i said lsquoi have done such a poor job i will pay you for the time i have put you through this torturersquordquo

Painful as it was the lesson learned proved to be a career-launching moment for Mundle who dedicated himself to his trade and spent a lifetime in the golf business successfully working up and down the i-5 corridor as course operator teacher and player
Fifty-seven years after that first teaching debacle Mundle now 79 years old is retired and living in Walla Walla He and his wife Ann relocated here last summer determined to give up teaching golf and spend more time playing the game they both love
ldquoAfter all of these years of teaching i feel that this is the time to lay it asiderdquo Mundle said ldquoi will still do a little studying of the golf swing and methods and i will be involved with some of the other local professionals in some cracker-barrel sessions when they get together to discuss teaching methods problems and how to solve them
ldquoBut i really came here not to teach but to play some golfrdquo
That was the plan anyway before he was introduced to Walla Walla High School senior Jake Hanson who was looking for a little extra help with his game heading into his final year on the links as a Blue Devil
Terri Hanson Jakersquos mother was aware of Mundlersquos reputation as a teaching professional and heard through the grapevine he was living in Walla Walla
ldquoBeing the mom i am i called him one dayrdquo Terri remembered ldquoi told him that Jakersquos golf game was at a standstill i asked him to take a look at Jake and he agreed to come and meet us and get a feel for where Jake was at
ldquoHe did and before you knew it they were putting on our hardwood floors The next day they agreed to get together at Wine valley mdash they were there for four hours and it has been an amazing connection right from the beginning
ldquoAl is an amazing Christian man who is so well-respected in his fieldrdquo Terri added ldquoAnd he just demands respect irsquom seeing my son of 17 all of a sudden growing uprdquo
Mundle concedes he is intrigued by Hansonrsquos character and potential And
Under the watchful eye of Al Mundle Jake Hanson hits an iron shot

Hanson holds his new mentor in high esteem
ldquoirsquove learned a tremendous amountrdquo Hanson said ldquoHe has a way of getting through to me in a positive way He got through to me that i am so much better than i thought i could be He has more confidence in me than i have in myself
ldquoHe has one of the best golf swings i have ever seen and he is still working on his own gamerdquo
Mundle said Hanson reminds him of former University of Oregon player Ben Crane who now plays on the PGA Tour Crane has been playing professionally since 2007 and earned nearly $3 million on the tour in 2010
ldquoi was Benrsquos swing coach at Oregon and Jake is somewhat similarrdquo Mundle said ldquoBen worked harder than anybody on the whole golf team He would put in as much
time as three or four others combined and Jake is very much the same way Hersquos very dedicatedrdquo
However Mundle insists that helping Hanson with his game is a one-time situation
After playing just six rounds of golf last year Mundle is determined that he and Ann will spend a lot more time on the golf course as they get acquainted with their new hometown
ldquoThatrsquos an all-time lowrdquo he said of the six rounds played in 2010 ldquoMostly it was the move and all mdash a new house putting in lawn fencing shelving in the garage mdash all the little things of getting settled
ldquoBut this was a good move for us We love it here We enjoy the weather and the people you can walk down the street and people look you in the eye and say lsquoHellorsquo i love that friendlinessrdquo
Mundle grew up in Eugene and graduated from University High School in 1950 He knew he said from the time he was in the seventh grade he wanted to make golf his lifersquos work
ldquoyou might say that i had a little parental directionrdquo Mundle said ldquoMy dad went to the University of St Andrews in Scotland and he played golf at the St Andrews Old Course And my mother also played golfrdquo
After high school Mundle enrolled at the University of Oregon and played three years of varsity golf during an era when there was no such thing as a golf scholarship
ldquoThe only thing we ever received was a half-a-dozen golf balls if we went into a tournamentrdquo Mundle recalled ldquoWhen i went to the NCAA Championships in Texas my senior year i was given a new
people ltcontinued from pg 17
Walla Walla LifestyLes 19
pair of golf shoes but that was itldquoWe bought all of our own gear mdash
clubs bags rain gear everything itrsquos a whole different ball game today They have everythingrdquo
At the end of his sophomore year at Oregon Mundle had it in his mind to ldquotest my golf on the PGA Tourrdquo he said But his father an English professor at the university discouraged him
ldquoHe said lsquoGet your education first then you can do whatever you wantrsquordquo Mundle said ldquoit was just as well i saved a lot of wear and tear mdash and money i was an Ok player but not of that caliberrdquo
Mundle still has fond memories of his collegiate playing career however
ldquoi played three years for the university mdash you werenrsquot allowed to play as freshmen mdash and Oregon always had fine golf teamsrdquo Mundle said ldquoit was mostly match
play then and i was there during the time that the school went seven straight years without losing a (team) dual matchrdquo
During his senior year Mundle qualified for the NCAA Championships in Houston From a field of about 160 players Mundle made it as far as the quarterfinal round
He graduated in 1954 with a degree in history which he said he never really used
ldquoMy dad was in the top one percent of his class at St Andrewsrdquo Mundle said ldquoMy mother was also in the top part of her class and my older brother Pete was in the top of his class And then i came alongrdquo
His first golf job was as an assistant pro at his home course the Laurelwood Golf Course a position he accepted shortly after graduating from UO This was when and where the infamous first golf lesson
occurredA two-year stint in the US Army took
Mundle away from his profession in 1955-56 But he managed to keep his golf game sharp as a member of the Fort knox golf team and in 1956 he was the runner-up in the Second Army tournament and he placed 13th in the All-Army tournament
Then it was back to the Willamette valley where he came into his own in the Portland area under head professionals Eddie Hogan at riverside Country Club and Bunny Mason at Columbia Edgewater
ldquoThose two people were very influential in my professional liferdquo Mundle said
ldquoEddie was a very fine teacher of the total golf operation and service was No 1 i learned how to run the pro shop how

people ltcontinued from pg 19
to market and merchandise mdash everything from how to run the club service program to the electric cart program to basically running the golf course
ldquoBunny was also a very fine operator of a golf shop and i also learned a lot about teaching from Bunny Sometimes you go along in life and there are certain mentors who help you along the way Anybody who says they made it by themselves is not being honest with themselves We have all had someone who has given us a little boost along the wayrdquo
Mundle took his first head professional job in 1965 at Overlake Golf and Country Club in Bellevue where he remained until 1981 At that point he returned to Eugene and was the head pro at the Eugene Country Club for three years followed by a six-year stint at the Bear Creek Country Club in Seattle
He also spent a short time at a golf course in Cottage Grove Ore before moving back to Eugene for a third time in 1993 to become the director of golf instruction at the river ridge Golf Course He remained at river ridge until his retirement last summer During his time there he helped out as the swing coach at UO under then-head coach Steve Nosler
Through it all Mundle served as president of the Washington PGA and the Pacific Northwest PGA and was a member of several National PGA committees As a player he participated in the Oregon Washington and Pacific Northwest opens as well as the Washington and Oregon PGA events One of his highlights was winning the Oregon Senior PGA Match-Play Championships in Bend in 1993
ldquoi felt i had an obligation to participaterdquo Mundle said ldquoi played a lot of golf including many many pro-ams and i won a couple of assistant championshipsrdquo
in addition to Crane Mundle also helped shape the careers of Jeff Quinney and Eric Johnson both of whom are from the Eugene area
Quinney won the United States Amateur championship in 2000 and represented the US in the Walker Cup in 2001 He has appeared in 128 PGA Tour events since 2007 placing second twice and third twice
Johnson played several years on the Asian Tour and one on the Nationwide Tour He is now a head professional at a

course in San rafael CalifldquoAnd there have been some others mdash
Brian Henninger Mike Gove a few others mdash who have called and wanted to discus their swingrdquo Mundle said ldquoNothing on a regular basis just one or two sessionsrdquo
is Hanson his next mdash and perhaps his last mdash prodigy
Thatrsquos a tricky question since Hanson came to golf late after a budding baseball career was derailed by a shoulder injury He was a first-team all-Big Nine Conference golf selection as a junior but has yet to qualify for state and his summer resume is thin because of his baseball background
Hansonrsquos original plan was to attend Walla Walla Community College and play golf for the Warriors with the hope of earning an NCAA Division i scholarship But he has since decided to enroll in Arizona State Universityrsquos Professional Golf Management program and try out for the ASU golf team as a walk on
ldquoMore than anything i think it came down to him evaluating his goalsrdquo said Jakersquos father Gary Hanson ldquoitrsquos everyonersquos dream to play on the PGA Tour but realistically he wants to be a golf pro and teach He loves
the gamerdquoAnd a degree in the PGM program
will provide Jake with the educational background he needs to be successful in any form of business his father added
Though his chances of making the ASU varsity team seem unlikely the PGM program provides a club golf team that participates in a series of tournaments throughout the year and gives Hanson a second playing option
And keeping your options open is optimum at this point Mundle said
ldquoi think his driving force at this time mdash and also his folks mdash is to get his education And then he can do whatever he wants if he doesnrsquot go into (the golfing business) immediately he will always have it as a backuprdquo
Sounds an awful lot like the advice Thomas Mundle offered his son back in the spring of 1952 when Al Mundle wanted to leave school after his sophomore year and test his wings on the PGA Tour And as we now know all these years later staying in school worked out pretty well for Al

T H E A T R EPOWER HOUSE
My director Terry Edward Moore told me his only direction from the artistic director was that it be ldquoperiodrdquo that is to say authentic to the time
ldquoMerry Wivesrdquo is the only one of Shakespearersquos plays that is set in his own time so it was decided to present it as if the actors were people of the time doing what would be a contemporary (to the late 16th century) play
i started to research the clothing of the time how it was constructed and what kinds of fabrics were available at the time mdash linens homespuns woolens for the common people and silks damasks velvets and furs for the upper classes i discovered that Elizabethan society was strictly regulated in terms of social classes and upward mobility was a little-known concept Once a yeoman always a yeoman i also discovered the set of rules and regulations called ldquosumptuary lawsrdquo which specifically dictated what types of fabrics trims furs and even what colors each class was allowed to wear
Since there are three distinct classes represented in ldquoMerry Wivesrdquo mdash merchant class soldiers and servants mdash i tried to give each class its own color palette based on these laws The overall palette of the show is based on colors actually in use at the time
The availability of dyes was limited (except for the nobility) so the palette consists of many shades of yellows and browns russets black some greens and blue-grays and of course wheat-colored unbleached linen i turned to the Dutch painter Brueghel for inspiration on how the common people looked and dressed
i also researched what kinds of dyes were used and where they came from Dyes were created from all sorts of different things such as walnut shell crushed beetles and all kinds of roots i found a website that sells these authentic dyestuffs so irsquom using the real thing to dye some of the linen pieces and will coordinate the contemporary fabrics to these authentic colors
Nearly every piece will need something done to it mdash altered in some way to fit the actor re-trimmed rigged invisibly for quick changes etc mdash so there is a lot of labor involved Also hats were a hugely important part of Elizabethan fashion all the way down to the poorest serf
Certain styles of hats were often associated with certain professions mdash eg doctors scholars mdash so there are a number of hats to build as well as headpieces for the women No self-respecting woman went about with her head uncovered
Putting together a show like this is like putting together a giant jigsaw puzzle and the pieces are the costumes that irsquove borrowed and rented from other theater companies in the Seattle area such as Seattle repertory Seattle Opera and the University of Washington as well as pieces from Oregon Shakespeare Festival i design the show and then go out into the world and try to find pieces that approximate my designs and palette as closely as possible (usually with some reworking first) The pieces that i cant find and dont want to compromise on i build from scratch

But thatrsquos exactly what longtime Walla Walla resident Larry Adams did for four years He was one of a select group of pilots for Marine One the helicopter counterpart of the presidential airplane Air Force One from 1970 to 1974

Long before Adams became the Walla Walla Airport manager he was transporting heads of state foreign dignitaries famous (and now infamous) Cabinet members the executive staff and President richard M Nixon during one of the nationrsquos most turbulent times the withdrawal from vietnam and the Watergate scandal
But to Adams a native of Northern idaho all that swirled around the Nixon presidency was the least of his concerns His job was to transport the president safely to Andrews Air Force Base or Camp David or fly any short flight required Safety always at a premium End of story
Many times Adams ferried President Nixon and his staff on short flights far away from home Air Force One might fly President Nixon to a summit or a meeting with a foreign head of state but Marine One and Adams were always nearby to shuttle the chief executive on short flights or to whisk him away from sudden danger
Pretty heady stuff for a fourth-grade teacher who had never thought about flying until a Marine recruiter offered him the opportunity Although Adams had watched planes take off and land at a nearby air base as a child he had never given serious thought to flying it was more a need for a bigger paycheck than passion that brought Adams to his destiny
He liked teaching but it just wasnrsquot paying the bills So Adams turned to the military and the Gi Bill After being unimpressed by other recruiters Adams took a liking to the fellow from the Marines for as Adams recalls the recruiter took an interest in him After about an hour of talking the recruiter suggested Adams might have the potential to be a pilot
Having easily passed some preliminary tests Adams was sent to flight school in Pensacola Fla and a stellar career was ready to take off He performed well in all the aircraft he piloted but he showed a special skill for helicopters
Up until 1965 fixed-wing airplanes were the staple of all military air combat But the military had been gearing up for a big change The helicopter was to become a major part of combat The Pentagon had been developing helicopters that would do much more than transport troops to bases Now they would assist in bombing
raids ground attacks and the evacuation of the injured from the point of combat This new breed of helicopters would also possess the ability to fight back and not be lame ducks as before the new H34 would tote machine guns on each side
These cutting-edge aircraft would travel at unprecedented speeds with newly discovered agility Gifted pilots were needed not those who merely possessed superior technical skills but those who also had the composure to fly straight into
enemy fire in the dead of night picking up injured soldiers or aiding air attacks
Adams was one of those pilots and he would be one of two squadron leaders for ldquoOperation Starliterdquo mdash the first major assault using helicopters The Marines were going straight into a North vietnamese regimental stronghold No one knew what to expect
ldquoWe lost a lot that first time inrdquo says Adams ldquoTwo crew chiefs were killed

people ltcontinued from pg 31
four pilots were medevaced out because of their wounds i donrsquot think there was one helicopter that didnrsquot have a bunch of holes in it The one i flew in we got a lot of rounds in it Amazingly no one was hurt but when we got back the helicopter was so shot-up you couldnrsquot fly it anymore We lost 50 percent of our helicopters that dayrdquo
in the next 13 months Adams would fly many more missions often heading straight into anti-aircraft fire to pick up injured or killed soldiers He says he would see the flares signifying where the copter was supposed to land but frequently hersquod have to veer off because ground communication would say ldquoThe artillery is too hotrdquo Then there would be a window maybe two minutes maybe five when the helicopter could drop in and pick up the injured often being shot at as it waited for its passengers
Adams knew the best way to survive was to keep his focus ldquoin the daylight when you start your run in and yoursquore getting shot at Everything went to black and white for me i didnrsquot notice the green trees or the green rice paddies until we got out of there and then it would come back
to me i donrsquot know what that was i just didnrsquot see the colors irsquove talked to some other pilots and they described the same thingrdquo
in his two tours of duty in vietnam Adams would fly 880 combat missions in several types of helicopters and fixed-wing airplanes He received numerous medals including two Navy commendations for performance under combat conditions
Then the call came to fly for the president Before Adams could tote the commander in chief around in Marine One a thorough background check had to be done So thorough was the check that Adams said a friend from his hometown sent him a card that read ldquoAre you in some kind of trouble Jesus therersquos been a bunch of people around here with the dark grey suits and the skinny little ties Theyrsquore asking all these embarrassing questions about you like did you have drinking problem Did you have a gambling problem Do you know what Larryrsquos sexual preference wasrdquo
Adams chuckles ldquoit was pretty funnyrdquoAdams passed the grade and soon
he was flying President Nixon and his family to Camp David or picking up vice
President Spiro Agnew at the Pentagon or taking Secretary of State Henry kissinger or Secretary of Defense Alexander Haig to a classified meeting Although his flights varied from transporting foreign heads of state to flying members of the press the majority involved the president the vice president kissinger and Haig
The pilots did not speak to their travelers unless spoken to says Adams President Nixon usually looked in and asked them how they were kissinger never spoke Haig was good for a pat on the shoulder now and then but it was Agnew who conversed the most says Adams
Adams remembers ldquoOne time we picked him up at the Pentagon and we had taken off and had hit top altitude He usually would come up and look into the cockpit but this time he patted me on the shoulder and asked lsquoWell howrsquos it going today guysrsquordquo Adams replied ldquoNot bad sir and how about yourselfrdquo
Agnew answered ldquoMan they are really after my assrdquo He was talking about the press Adams says ldquoTwo weeks later he resignedrdquo
Adams recalls that his encounters with Agnew as defying the public perception
Adams far right gives instructions before a mission in Vietnam
Walla Walla LifestyLes 33
that Agnew was arrogant ldquoHe was always one of the nicest guys He was straightforward He looked like he had just stepped off the cover of Gentlemenrsquos Quarterly all the time He was very proper in the way he dressed but he had a sense of humor as wellrdquo
There were other humorous moments Adams recalls a certain reporter from CBS who had been a major thorn in President Nixonrsquos side was late for takeoff from the South Lawn of the White House one morning Just as Marine One was about to leave without him he came running across the lawn hollering and waving his arms The Secret Service agent supervising the flight told Adams to ldquojust gordquo The wind from the propellers whipped the reporterrsquos toupee right off his head and instead of continuing his run toward Marine One he reversed his field and tried feverishly to retrieve his toupee snagged in the hedges
ldquoEveryone got a pretty good chuckle out of thatrdquo
Of course there were somber times At one point Adams flew Cabinet members John Ehrlichman and Hr Haldeman to Camp David for a meeting with the president After only 15 minutes the two men returned and Marine One headed home Adams says it was a quiet flight He found out later the two men had been fired by President Nixon for their parts in the Watergate scandal
Whisking the president away from danger was a major part of being a pilot of Marine One Stationed across the river from the Capitol pilots awakened by an emergency alert had to be up in the air in five minutes This exercise was practiced often though never needed during Adamsrsquo tenure
One night however they thought it was The operator at the White House mistakenly hit the ldquoAlertrdquo button Marine One was in the air in five minutes
Although ground control had not spotted any enemy aircraft the operation was under way As Marine One closed in on the White House the operator at fault tried to alert everyone of his mistake but unfortunately used a poor choice of words to call off the operation
Adams chuckles as he says ldquoThe fella said lsquoThis is not an exercisersquo He was moved to another post i thinkrdquo
All levity aside the position required
the same kind of focus demanded of Adams in vietnam though it came in a different form
ldquoThere were three things the way you operated the aircraft and they were in this order safety comfort and speed Safety never gave in to comfort or speedrdquo says Adams ldquoOur job was just concentrating on doing our job it could have been anybody mdash we would do it the same way it could have been Fred Flintstone
ldquoThe difference between flying for the White House and in vietnam was we were flying a premier aircraft We had to keep it impeccably clean everything was scripted We had to have the lsquoopen-the-door timersquo down to two to four seconds in vietnam it was the stress of performing medevacs under fire or dropping troops under heavy artillery For Marine One it was the stress of doing the job rightrdquo
Also the stress of being away from onersquos family 200 days of the year wore on a Marine One pilot in 1974 after four years on the job the toll became too much and Adams stepped down
He would stay with the Marines for eight more years retiring in August 1982
By then he had received 44 Air Medals including the Joint Service Commendation and the Presidential Service Badge in his 20 years of service Adams flew seven different helicopters and five different fixed-wing planes
What makes an elite military pilot ldquoPilots who donrsquot have any misgivingsrdquo says Adams ldquoTheyrsquore totally prepared they know their aircraftrdquo
When talking about his colleagues on Marine One he adds ldquoNone were boasters They might brag about a great landing but they did not brag in spite of someone elserdquo
What did Adams love most about his flying days ldquoi enjoyed flying with the latest technology and the pristine quality of Marine One i loved the process of building my skills i could have flown another 40 years and i would still be learning thingsrdquo
is it any surprise his favorite hobby now is fly fishing

it is astonishing in many ways mdash that we are presented with two weeks of top-drawer music performed by top-drawer musi-cians that there are so many ways to encounter the music (many of them free) and that a rural community has provided the incu-
bator for such a cultural undertaking to name but a fewGranted we are not your average rural community having two
colleges a university a symphony a choral society a community band and music in the schools but letrsquos face it wersquore not exactly a cosmopolitan center of culture like New york either The Cham-ber Music Festival mdash and our continued support of it through some tough times mdash puts us in a category all our own

worked hard to start this event and to my great joy it has taken on an iden-tity of its own i hire the musicians and choose the music but the town its people and its environs make the festivalrdquo
The beauty of chamber music is its intimacy mdash smaller ensembles performing for smaller audiences it has been referred to as ldquothe music of friendsrdquo which seems so apt at this festival Free open rehearsals are held around town that provide not only a musical atmosphere in which to enjoy a latte or the ambiance of the kirkman House but which give a richer look into the machinations of a working ensemble
As one enthusiastic fan puts it ldquoi am not a musician and itrsquos fascinat-ing to watch these rehearsals to see the interactions of the musicians as they work out the snags make wry remarks and relate to each other in a whole different way than during a for-mal performance i get a glimpse into their personalities and what makes them tickrdquo
The festival supplies a generous of-fering of venues with free concerts for children and families relaxed evening programs at wineries and full concerts at the Foundry Chism Hall and Day-tonrsquos Liberty Theater
if you are lucky enough to live near the musiciansrsquo lodgings while they are in town you may also be treated to an ad hoc front-porch concert as the ensembles continue their rehearsals in more private settings The festival is about all of these ways mdash planned and accidental mdash to experience the enchantment of chamber music
it is also about historic continuity and the connection between past and present mdash relishing the existing canon while expanding the genre with con-temporary forms and voices
How is this accomplished in part by the annual commission of a new piece of music for the festival Chris-tie is committed to contributing to the broader chamber music repertoire and to providing the audience with the richest possible experience

ldquoFor classical music to be relevant there must be a conversation between the music of our time and the music of the pastrdquo he says
By commissioning a work for the festi-val each year Christie creates such a con-versation
This year the commission was given to John David Earnest Four festival commis-sions have preceded his and he is the sec-ond ldquolocalrdquo composer to be tapped add-ing another layer of relationship between community and event (in 2009 Whitman College professor David Glenn was given the nod)
As visiting adjunct professor of music at Whitman Earnest resides here for six weeks every semester His ldquoSecond Sym-phonyrdquo was written for and performed by the Walla Walla Symphony in October 2001
The challenge for the yearly commis-sionee is to compose a piece on demand within specific constraints of time place and instrumentation while expressing hisher own voice as an artist
Earnest has created ldquoCommedia Gal-leryrdquo a set of three movements for flute
viola and harp based on stock characters from the Commedia dellrsquoArte a popu-lar theatrical form that was influential in Europe for over 300 years Commedia characters improvised dialogue around set scenarios generally involving the struggles of young lovers to overcome hindrances to their romance and each character even-tually came to have a consistent set of at-tributes in speech mannerisms and cos-tume
Earnestrsquos ldquoGalleryrdquo gives us Arlecchi-no (Harlequin) an acrobatic and devious jester Pierrot the classic sad clown and finally Scaramouche a dandy and a brag-gart who is a coward at heart
in anticipation of this yearrsquos festival i am reminded of the scene in ldquoThe Music Manrdquo in which the town awaits the ar-rival of the Wells Fargo Wagon Potentially heaped with gifts and surprises it prom-ises connection to the larger world The WWCMF brings us all ldquosomethinrsquo specialrdquo mdash an enrichment of our community and our culture

Smith has gardened for years at his home at 38 Mulberry Court in College Place He used to grow vegetables and flowers now he is strictly focusing on flowers mdash with fabulous results roses delphiniums and lots of irises line the fence
ldquoirises mdash irsquove always enjoyed themrdquo he says ldquoThey take a little bit of weeding and watering but not much morerdquo itrsquos the gardenerrsquos dream mdash low maintenance with a big return
A retired orthopedic surgeon Smith has in the past gardened more extensively than he does now But he has enough plants to keep him busy His new project is planting more of the reblooming iris These are still hardy but you get twice the reward they bloom in the spring then again in the fall
ldquoTheyrsquore easy to grow and spectacular for a short time iris take less care than a lot of thingsrdquo Smith says
His secret for gardening is simple and therersquos no getting around it ldquoTime and workrdquo he laughs
Hersquos getting ready to start in the garden ldquoi need to clean out the leaves and the old foliage of the irisrdquo
in addition to the basic cleaning and maintenance Smith just decides how many plants to keep Bulb flowers are hardy and they multiply on their own
ldquoAfter five years you usually have to separate the bulbs when they get too thick i donrsquot have room to add more i put in the new re-blooming onesrdquo he explains ldquoi may add more and a few other thingsrdquo
But in a garden you can always try something new or rearrange existing plants often with a spectacular outcome

itrsquos an odd location since it can only be seen as yoursquore leaving town but it always makes me smile This valley my adopted home is indeed a great place to be
i recently finished reading the great Western writer Wallace Stegnerrsquos book ldquoThe Sound of Mountain Waterrdquo One of his essays traces his nomadic childhood which left him feeling rootless and without a place that he felt he could call home
i identify with his feeling of not belonging i was born to a single woman from Massachusetts in a New york City hospital i stayed a scant few days before being placed with an adoption agency Born in a place i had no familial connection to i was immediately deprived of my biological family Most of my childhood was spent in suburban Cleveland Ohio Moves to upstate New york New England and Pennsylvania brought me no closer to calling any place home i loved living in the western Massachusetts town of Stockbridge but the multigenerational denizens of the town left few openings for newcomers like me i lived in central Pennsylvania for several decades but felt detached from the deep roots that most people had in the area
When we came west (for my husband a homecoming to his Oregon roots for me a new experience) i noticed that even in long-established towns like Walla Walla there is ample room for newcomers who want to be
part of the community And most folks who choose to come here donrsquot seem to want to change the valley they prefer to embrace it
While the occasional newbie whines about the lack of Whole Foods or Nordstrom they soon discover our farmers markets the wide variety of local shops and boutiques and our world-class restaurants They fall in love with our charming downtowns the small-town friendliness of the people and our kid-friendly environment Then therersquos the holiday parade the fair the ever-present Blue Mountains the parks the museums the wineries mdash really whatrsquos not to like The communities of our valley represent America at its best
irsquom a newspaper junkie i love to read everything from news to sports to classifieds mdash even the obituaries The obits are a fascinating window on our valley Many of the people chronicled were born here some lived all their lives here inextricably bound to this place But a number of people came here from other places often far away and have made a mark on our area Which makes me wonder mdash is a place any less of a hometown because you choose it or is it based primarily on the happenstance of your birth it seems that therersquos room for both paths to calling this wonderful valley home
itrsquos also our strength because collectively as a community we bring both deep familial and cultural traditions as well as the fresh perspective of newcomers to our area irsquom glad mdash after decades of searching mdash that i finally found my hometown a place that feels just right

it was 1954 the year he graduated from the University of Oregon and two female students from the university were interested in learning some of the finer points of the game
ldquoit was probably the worst lesson anybody has ever givenrdquo Mundle exclaimed shaking his head in dismay ldquoThese two young ladies were looking for some help and i worked with them for an hour-and-a-half And at the end of that time i said lsquoi have done such a poor job i will pay you for the time i have put you through this torturersquordquo

Painful as it was the lesson learned proved to be a career-launching moment for Mundle who dedicated himself to his trade and spent a lifetime in the golf business successfully working up and down the i-5 corridor as course operator teacher and player
Fifty-seven years after that first teaching debacle Mundle now 79 years old is retired and living in Walla Walla He and his wife Ann relocated here last summer determined to give up teaching golf and spend more time playing the game they both love
ldquoAfter all of these years of teaching i feel that this is the time to lay it asiderdquo Mundle said ldquoi will still do a little studying of the golf swing and methods and i will be involved with some of the other local professionals in some cracker-barrel sessions when they get together to discuss teaching methods problems and how to solve them
ldquoBut i really came here not to teach but to play some golfrdquo
That was the plan anyway before he was introduced to Walla Walla High School senior Jake Hanson who was looking for a little extra help with his game heading into his final year on the links as a Blue Devil
Terri Hanson Jakersquos mother was aware of Mundlersquos reputation as a teaching professional and heard through the grapevine he was living in Walla Walla
ldquoBeing the mom i am i called him one dayrdquo Terri remembered ldquoi told him that Jakersquos golf game was at a standstill i asked him to take a look at Jake and he agreed to come and meet us and get a feel for where Jake was at
ldquoHe did and before you knew it they were putting on our hardwood floors The next day they agreed to get together at Wine valley mdash they were there for four hours and it has been an amazing connection right from the beginning
ldquoAl is an amazing Christian man who is so well-respected in his fieldrdquo Terri added ldquoAnd he just demands respect irsquom seeing my son of 17 all of a sudden growing uprdquo
Mundle concedes he is intrigued by Hansonrsquos character and potential And
Under the watchful eye of Al Mundle Jake Hanson hits an iron shot

Hanson holds his new mentor in high esteem
ldquoirsquove learned a tremendous amountrdquo Hanson said ldquoHe has a way of getting through to me in a positive way He got through to me that i am so much better than i thought i could be He has more confidence in me than i have in myself
ldquoHe has one of the best golf swings i have ever seen and he is still working on his own gamerdquo
Mundle said Hanson reminds him of former University of Oregon player Ben Crane who now plays on the PGA Tour Crane has been playing professionally since 2007 and earned nearly $3 million on the tour in 2010
ldquoi was Benrsquos swing coach at Oregon and Jake is somewhat similarrdquo Mundle said ldquoBen worked harder than anybody on the whole golf team He would put in as much
time as three or four others combined and Jake is very much the same way Hersquos very dedicatedrdquo
However Mundle insists that helping Hanson with his game is a one-time situation
After playing just six rounds of golf last year Mundle is determined that he and Ann will spend a lot more time on the golf course as they get acquainted with their new hometown
ldquoThatrsquos an all-time lowrdquo he said of the six rounds played in 2010 ldquoMostly it was the move and all mdash a new house putting in lawn fencing shelving in the garage mdash all the little things of getting settled
ldquoBut this was a good move for us We love it here We enjoy the weather and the people you can walk down the street and people look you in the eye and say lsquoHellorsquo i love that friendlinessrdquo
Mundle grew up in Eugene and graduated from University High School in 1950 He knew he said from the time he was in the seventh grade he wanted to make golf his lifersquos work
ldquoyou might say that i had a little parental directionrdquo Mundle said ldquoMy dad went to the University of St Andrews in Scotland and he played golf at the St Andrews Old Course And my mother also played golfrdquo
After high school Mundle enrolled at the University of Oregon and played three years of varsity golf during an era when there was no such thing as a golf scholarship
ldquoThe only thing we ever received was a half-a-dozen golf balls if we went into a tournamentrdquo Mundle recalled ldquoWhen i went to the NCAA Championships in Texas my senior year i was given a new
people ltcontinued from pg 17
Walla Walla LifestyLes 19
pair of golf shoes but that was itldquoWe bought all of our own gear mdash
clubs bags rain gear everything itrsquos a whole different ball game today They have everythingrdquo
At the end of his sophomore year at Oregon Mundle had it in his mind to ldquotest my golf on the PGA Tourrdquo he said But his father an English professor at the university discouraged him
ldquoHe said lsquoGet your education first then you can do whatever you wantrsquordquo Mundle said ldquoit was just as well i saved a lot of wear and tear mdash and money i was an Ok player but not of that caliberrdquo
Mundle still has fond memories of his collegiate playing career however
ldquoi played three years for the university mdash you werenrsquot allowed to play as freshmen mdash and Oregon always had fine golf teamsrdquo Mundle said ldquoit was mostly match
play then and i was there during the time that the school went seven straight years without losing a (team) dual matchrdquo
During his senior year Mundle qualified for the NCAA Championships in Houston From a field of about 160 players Mundle made it as far as the quarterfinal round
He graduated in 1954 with a degree in history which he said he never really used
ldquoMy dad was in the top one percent of his class at St Andrewsrdquo Mundle said ldquoMy mother was also in the top part of her class and my older brother Pete was in the top of his class And then i came alongrdquo
His first golf job was as an assistant pro at his home course the Laurelwood Golf Course a position he accepted shortly after graduating from UO This was when and where the infamous first golf lesson
occurredA two-year stint in the US Army took
Mundle away from his profession in 1955-56 But he managed to keep his golf game sharp as a member of the Fort knox golf team and in 1956 he was the runner-up in the Second Army tournament and he placed 13th in the All-Army tournament
Then it was back to the Willamette valley where he came into his own in the Portland area under head professionals Eddie Hogan at riverside Country Club and Bunny Mason at Columbia Edgewater
ldquoThose two people were very influential in my professional liferdquo Mundle said
ldquoEddie was a very fine teacher of the total golf operation and service was No 1 i learned how to run the pro shop how
Jake Hanson takes a few pointers on chipping from his instructor and mentor Al Mundle

people ltcontinued from pg 19
to market and merchandise mdash everything from how to run the club service program to the electric cart program to basically running the golf course
ldquoBunny was also a very fine operator of a golf shop and i also learned a lot about teaching from Bunny Sometimes you go along in life and there are certain mentors who help you along the way Anybody who says they made it by themselves is not being honest with themselves We have all had someone who has given us a little boost along the wayrdquo
Mundle took his first head professional job in 1965 at Overlake Golf and Country Club in Bellevue where he remained until 1981 At that point he returned to Eugene and was the head pro at the Eugene Country Club for three years followed by a six-year stint at the Bear Creek Country Club in Seattle
He also spent a short time at a golf course in Cottage Grove Ore before moving back to Eugene for a third time in 1993 to become the director of golf instruction at the river ridge Golf Course He remained at river ridge until his retirement last summer During his time there he helped out as the swing coach at UO under then-head coach Steve Nosler
Through it all Mundle served as president of the Washington PGA and the Pacific Northwest PGA and was a member of several National PGA committees As a player he participated in the Oregon Washington and Pacific Northwest opens as well as the Washington and Oregon PGA events One of his highlights was winning the Oregon Senior PGA Match-Play Championships in Bend in 1993
ldquoi felt i had an obligation to participaterdquo Mundle said ldquoi played a lot of golf including many many pro-ams and i won a couple of assistant championshipsrdquo
in addition to Crane Mundle also helped shape the careers of Jeff Quinney and Eric Johnson both of whom are from the Eugene area
Quinney won the United States Amateur championship in 2000 and represented the US in the Walker Cup in 2001 He has appeared in 128 PGA Tour events since 2007 placing second twice and third twice
Johnson played several years on the Asian Tour and one on the Nationwide Tour He is now a head professional at a

course in San rafael CalifldquoAnd there have been some others mdash
Brian Henninger Mike Gove a few others mdash who have called and wanted to discus their swingrdquo Mundle said ldquoNothing on a regular basis just one or two sessionsrdquo
is Hanson his next mdash and perhaps his last mdash prodigy
Thatrsquos a tricky question since Hanson came to golf late after a budding baseball career was derailed by a shoulder injury He was a first-team all-Big Nine Conference golf selection as a junior but has yet to qualify for state and his summer resume is thin because of his baseball background
Hansonrsquos original plan was to attend Walla Walla Community College and play golf for the Warriors with the hope of earning an NCAA Division i scholarship But he has since decided to enroll in Arizona State Universityrsquos Professional Golf Management program and try out for the ASU golf team as a walk on
ldquoMore than anything i think it came down to him evaluating his goalsrdquo said Jakersquos father Gary Hanson ldquoitrsquos everyonersquos dream to play on the PGA Tour but realistically he wants to be a golf pro and teach He loves
the gamerdquoAnd a degree in the PGM program
will provide Jake with the educational background he needs to be successful in any form of business his father added
Though his chances of making the ASU varsity team seem unlikely the PGM program provides a club golf team that participates in a series of tournaments throughout the year and gives Hanson a second playing option
And keeping your options open is optimum at this point Mundle said
ldquoi think his driving force at this time mdash and also his folks mdash is to get his education And then he can do whatever he wants if he doesnrsquot go into (the golfing business) immediately he will always have it as a backuprdquo
Sounds an awful lot like the advice Thomas Mundle offered his son back in the spring of 1952 when Al Mundle wanted to leave school after his sophomore year and test his wings on the PGA Tour And as we now know all these years later staying in school worked out pretty well for Al

T H E A T R EPOWER HOUSE
My director Terry Edward Moore told me his only direction from the artistic director was that it be ldquoperiodrdquo that is to say authentic to the time
ldquoMerry Wivesrdquo is the only one of Shakespearersquos plays that is set in his own time so it was decided to present it as if the actors were people of the time doing what would be a contemporary (to the late 16th century) play
i started to research the clothing of the time how it was constructed and what kinds of fabrics were available at the time mdash linens homespuns woolens for the common people and silks damasks velvets and furs for the upper classes i discovered that Elizabethan society was strictly regulated in terms of social classes and upward mobility was a little-known concept Once a yeoman always a yeoman i also discovered the set of rules and regulations called ldquosumptuary lawsrdquo which specifically dictated what types of fabrics trims furs and even what colors each class was allowed to wear
Since there are three distinct classes represented in ldquoMerry Wivesrdquo mdash merchant class soldiers and servants mdash i tried to give each class its own color palette based on these laws The overall palette of the show is based on colors actually in use at the time
The availability of dyes was limited (except for the nobility) so the palette consists of many shades of yellows and browns russets black some greens and blue-grays and of course wheat-colored unbleached linen i turned to the Dutch painter Brueghel for inspiration on how the common people looked and dressed
i also researched what kinds of dyes were used and where they came from Dyes were created from all sorts of different things such as walnut shell crushed beetles and all kinds of roots i found a website that sells these authentic dyestuffs so irsquom using the real thing to dye some of the linen pieces and will coordinate the contemporary fabrics to these authentic colors
Nearly every piece will need something done to it mdash altered in some way to fit the actor re-trimmed rigged invisibly for quick changes etc mdash so there is a lot of labor involved Also hats were a hugely important part of Elizabethan fashion all the way down to the poorest serf
Certain styles of hats were often associated with certain professions mdash eg doctors scholars mdash so there are a number of hats to build as well as headpieces for the women No self-respecting woman went about with her head uncovered
Putting together a show like this is like putting together a giant jigsaw puzzle and the pieces are the costumes that irsquove borrowed and rented from other theater companies in the Seattle area such as Seattle repertory Seattle Opera and the University of Washington as well as pieces from Oregon Shakespeare Festival i design the show and then go out into the world and try to find pieces that approximate my designs and palette as closely as possible (usually with some reworking first) The pieces that i cant find and dont want to compromise on i build from scratch

But thatrsquos exactly what longtime Walla Walla resident Larry Adams did for four years He was one of a select group of pilots for Marine One the helicopter counterpart of the presidential airplane Air Force One from 1970 to 1974

Long before Adams became the Walla Walla Airport manager he was transporting heads of state foreign dignitaries famous (and now infamous) Cabinet members the executive staff and President richard M Nixon during one of the nationrsquos most turbulent times the withdrawal from vietnam and the Watergate scandal
But to Adams a native of Northern idaho all that swirled around the Nixon presidency was the least of his concerns His job was to transport the president safely to Andrews Air Force Base or Camp David or fly any short flight required Safety always at a premium End of story
Many times Adams ferried President Nixon and his staff on short flights far away from home Air Force One might fly President Nixon to a summit or a meeting with a foreign head of state but Marine One and Adams were always nearby to shuttle the chief executive on short flights or to whisk him away from sudden danger
Pretty heady stuff for a fourth-grade teacher who had never thought about flying until a Marine recruiter offered him the opportunity Although Adams had watched planes take off and land at a nearby air base as a child he had never given serious thought to flying it was more a need for a bigger paycheck than passion that brought Adams to his destiny
He liked teaching but it just wasnrsquot paying the bills So Adams turned to the military and the Gi Bill After being unimpressed by other recruiters Adams took a liking to the fellow from the Marines for as Adams recalls the recruiter took an interest in him After about an hour of talking the recruiter suggested Adams might have the potential to be a pilot
Having easily passed some preliminary tests Adams was sent to flight school in Pensacola Fla and a stellar career was ready to take off He performed well in all the aircraft he piloted but he showed a special skill for helicopters
Up until 1965 fixed-wing airplanes were the staple of all military air combat But the military had been gearing up for a big change The helicopter was to become a major part of combat The Pentagon had been developing helicopters that would do much more than transport troops to bases Now they would assist in bombing
raids ground attacks and the evacuation of the injured from the point of combat This new breed of helicopters would also possess the ability to fight back and not be lame ducks as before the new H34 would tote machine guns on each side
These cutting-edge aircraft would travel at unprecedented speeds with newly discovered agility Gifted pilots were needed not those who merely possessed superior technical skills but those who also had the composure to fly straight into
enemy fire in the dead of night picking up injured soldiers or aiding air attacks
Adams was one of those pilots and he would be one of two squadron leaders for ldquoOperation Starliterdquo mdash the first major assault using helicopters The Marines were going straight into a North vietnamese regimental stronghold No one knew what to expect
ldquoWe lost a lot that first time inrdquo says Adams ldquoTwo crew chiefs were killed
Continued on pg 32 gt
In this newspaper clipping Larry Adams poses on the steps of the helicopter dubbed Marine One which he piloted for President Richard M Nixon

people ltcontinued from pg 31
four pilots were medevaced out because of their wounds i donrsquot think there was one helicopter that didnrsquot have a bunch of holes in it The one i flew in we got a lot of rounds in it Amazingly no one was hurt but when we got back the helicopter was so shot-up you couldnrsquot fly it anymore We lost 50 percent of our helicopters that dayrdquo
in the next 13 months Adams would fly many more missions often heading straight into anti-aircraft fire to pick up injured or killed soldiers He says he would see the flares signifying where the copter was supposed to land but frequently hersquod have to veer off because ground communication would say ldquoThe artillery is too hotrdquo Then there would be a window maybe two minutes maybe five when the helicopter could drop in and pick up the injured often being shot at as it waited for its passengers
Adams knew the best way to survive was to keep his focus ldquoin the daylight when you start your run in and yoursquore getting shot at Everything went to black and white for me i didnrsquot notice the green trees or the green rice paddies until we got out of there and then it would come back
to me i donrsquot know what that was i just didnrsquot see the colors irsquove talked to some other pilots and they described the same thingrdquo
in his two tours of duty in vietnam Adams would fly 880 combat missions in several types of helicopters and fixed-wing airplanes He received numerous medals including two Navy commendations for performance under combat conditions
Then the call came to fly for the president Before Adams could tote the commander in chief around in Marine One a thorough background check had to be done So thorough was the check that Adams said a friend from his hometown sent him a card that read ldquoAre you in some kind of trouble Jesus therersquos been a bunch of people around here with the dark grey suits and the skinny little ties Theyrsquore asking all these embarrassing questions about you like did you have drinking problem Did you have a gambling problem Do you know what Larryrsquos sexual preference wasrdquo
Adams chuckles ldquoit was pretty funnyrdquoAdams passed the grade and soon
he was flying President Nixon and his family to Camp David or picking up vice
President Spiro Agnew at the Pentagon or taking Secretary of State Henry kissinger or Secretary of Defense Alexander Haig to a classified meeting Although his flights varied from transporting foreign heads of state to flying members of the press the majority involved the president the vice president kissinger and Haig
The pilots did not speak to their travelers unless spoken to says Adams President Nixon usually looked in and asked them how they were kissinger never spoke Haig was good for a pat on the shoulder now and then but it was Agnew who conversed the most says Adams
Adams remembers ldquoOne time we picked him up at the Pentagon and we had taken off and had hit top altitude He usually would come up and look into the cockpit but this time he patted me on the shoulder and asked lsquoWell howrsquos it going today guysrsquordquo Adams replied ldquoNot bad sir and how about yourselfrdquo
Agnew answered ldquoMan they are really after my assrdquo He was talking about the press Adams says ldquoTwo weeks later he resignedrdquo
Adams recalls that his encounters with Agnew as defying the public perception
Adams far right gives instructions before a mission in Vietnam
Walla Walla LifestyLes 33
that Agnew was arrogant ldquoHe was always one of the nicest guys He was straightforward He looked like he had just stepped off the cover of Gentlemenrsquos Quarterly all the time He was very proper in the way he dressed but he had a sense of humor as wellrdquo
There were other humorous moments Adams recalls a certain reporter from CBS who had been a major thorn in President Nixonrsquos side was late for takeoff from the South Lawn of the White House one morning Just as Marine One was about to leave without him he came running across the lawn hollering and waving his arms The Secret Service agent supervising the flight told Adams to ldquojust gordquo The wind from the propellers whipped the reporterrsquos toupee right off his head and instead of continuing his run toward Marine One he reversed his field and tried feverishly to retrieve his toupee snagged in the hedges
ldquoEveryone got a pretty good chuckle out of thatrdquo
Of course there were somber times At one point Adams flew Cabinet members John Ehrlichman and Hr Haldeman to Camp David for a meeting with the president After only 15 minutes the two men returned and Marine One headed home Adams says it was a quiet flight He found out later the two men had been fired by President Nixon for their parts in the Watergate scandal
Whisking the president away from danger was a major part of being a pilot of Marine One Stationed across the river from the Capitol pilots awakened by an emergency alert had to be up in the air in five minutes This exercise was practiced often though never needed during Adamsrsquo tenure
One night however they thought it was The operator at the White House mistakenly hit the ldquoAlertrdquo button Marine One was in the air in five minutes
Although ground control had not spotted any enemy aircraft the operation was under way As Marine One closed in on the White House the operator at fault tried to alert everyone of his mistake but unfortunately used a poor choice of words to call off the operation
Adams chuckles as he says ldquoThe fella said lsquoThis is not an exercisersquo He was moved to another post i thinkrdquo
All levity aside the position required
the same kind of focus demanded of Adams in vietnam though it came in a different form
ldquoThere were three things the way you operated the aircraft and they were in this order safety comfort and speed Safety never gave in to comfort or speedrdquo says Adams ldquoOur job was just concentrating on doing our job it could have been anybody mdash we would do it the same way it could have been Fred Flintstone
ldquoThe difference between flying for the White House and in vietnam was we were flying a premier aircraft We had to keep it impeccably clean everything was scripted We had to have the lsquoopen-the-door timersquo down to two to four seconds in vietnam it was the stress of performing medevacs under fire or dropping troops under heavy artillery For Marine One it was the stress of doing the job rightrdquo
Also the stress of being away from onersquos family 200 days of the year wore on a Marine One pilot in 1974 after four years on the job the toll became too much and Adams stepped down
He would stay with the Marines for eight more years retiring in August 1982
By then he had received 44 Air Medals including the Joint Service Commendation and the Presidential Service Badge in his 20 years of service Adams flew seven different helicopters and five different fixed-wing planes
What makes an elite military pilot ldquoPilots who donrsquot have any misgivingsrdquo says Adams ldquoTheyrsquore totally prepared they know their aircraftrdquo
When talking about his colleagues on Marine One he adds ldquoNone were boasters They might brag about a great landing but they did not brag in spite of someone elserdquo
What did Adams love most about his flying days ldquoi enjoyed flying with the latest technology and the pristine quality of Marine One i loved the process of building my skills i could have flown another 40 years and i would still be learning thingsrdquo
is it any surprise his favorite hobby now is fly fishing

it is astonishing in many ways mdash that we are presented with two weeks of top-drawer music performed by top-drawer musi-cians that there are so many ways to encounter the music (many of them free) and that a rural community has provided the incu-
bator for such a cultural undertaking to name but a fewGranted we are not your average rural community having two
colleges a university a symphony a choral society a community band and music in the schools but letrsquos face it wersquore not exactly a cosmopolitan center of culture like New york either The Cham-ber Music Festival mdash and our continued support of it through some tough times mdash puts us in a category all our own

worked hard to start this event and to my great joy it has taken on an iden-tity of its own i hire the musicians and choose the music but the town its people and its environs make the festivalrdquo
The beauty of chamber music is its intimacy mdash smaller ensembles performing for smaller audiences it has been referred to as ldquothe music of friendsrdquo which seems so apt at this festival Free open rehearsals are held around town that provide not only a musical atmosphere in which to enjoy a latte or the ambiance of the kirkman House but which give a richer look into the machinations of a working ensemble
As one enthusiastic fan puts it ldquoi am not a musician and itrsquos fascinat-ing to watch these rehearsals to see the interactions of the musicians as they work out the snags make wry remarks and relate to each other in a whole different way than during a for-mal performance i get a glimpse into their personalities and what makes them tickrdquo
The festival supplies a generous of-fering of venues with free concerts for children and families relaxed evening programs at wineries and full concerts at the Foundry Chism Hall and Day-tonrsquos Liberty Theater
if you are lucky enough to live near the musiciansrsquo lodgings while they are in town you may also be treated to an ad hoc front-porch concert as the ensembles continue their rehearsals in more private settings The festival is about all of these ways mdash planned and accidental mdash to experience the enchantment of chamber music
it is also about historic continuity and the connection between past and present mdash relishing the existing canon while expanding the genre with con-temporary forms and voices
How is this accomplished in part by the annual commission of a new piece of music for the festival Chris-tie is committed to contributing to the broader chamber music repertoire and to providing the audience with the richest possible experience

ldquoFor classical music to be relevant there must be a conversation between the music of our time and the music of the pastrdquo he says
By commissioning a work for the festi-val each year Christie creates such a con-versation
This year the commission was given to John David Earnest Four festival commis-sions have preceded his and he is the sec-ond ldquolocalrdquo composer to be tapped add-ing another layer of relationship between community and event (in 2009 Whitman College professor David Glenn was given the nod)
As visiting adjunct professor of music at Whitman Earnest resides here for six weeks every semester His ldquoSecond Sym-phonyrdquo was written for and performed by the Walla Walla Symphony in October 2001
The challenge for the yearly commis-sionee is to compose a piece on demand within specific constraints of time place and instrumentation while expressing hisher own voice as an artist
Earnest has created ldquoCommedia Gal-leryrdquo a set of three movements for flute
viola and harp based on stock characters from the Commedia dellrsquoArte a popu-lar theatrical form that was influential in Europe for over 300 years Commedia characters improvised dialogue around set scenarios generally involving the struggles of young lovers to overcome hindrances to their romance and each character even-tually came to have a consistent set of at-tributes in speech mannerisms and cos-tume
Earnestrsquos ldquoGalleryrdquo gives us Arlecchi-no (Harlequin) an acrobatic and devious jester Pierrot the classic sad clown and finally Scaramouche a dandy and a brag-gart who is a coward at heart
in anticipation of this yearrsquos festival i am reminded of the scene in ldquoThe Music Manrdquo in which the town awaits the ar-rival of the Wells Fargo Wagon Potentially heaped with gifts and surprises it prom-ises connection to the larger world The WWCMF brings us all ldquosomethinrsquo specialrdquo mdash an enrichment of our community and our culture

Smith has gardened for years at his home at 38 Mulberry Court in College Place He used to grow vegetables and flowers now he is strictly focusing on flowers mdash with fabulous results roses delphiniums and lots of irises line the fence
ldquoirises mdash irsquove always enjoyed themrdquo he says ldquoThey take a little bit of weeding and watering but not much morerdquo itrsquos the gardenerrsquos dream mdash low maintenance with a big return
A retired orthopedic surgeon Smith has in the past gardened more extensively than he does now But he has enough plants to keep him busy His new project is planting more of the reblooming iris These are still hardy but you get twice the reward they bloom in the spring then again in the fall
ldquoTheyrsquore easy to grow and spectacular for a short time iris take less care than a lot of thingsrdquo Smith says
His secret for gardening is simple and therersquos no getting around it ldquoTime and workrdquo he laughs
Hersquos getting ready to start in the garden ldquoi need to clean out the leaves and the old foliage of the irisrdquo
in addition to the basic cleaning and maintenance Smith just decides how many plants to keep Bulb flowers are hardy and they multiply on their own
ldquoAfter five years you usually have to separate the bulbs when they get too thick i donrsquot have room to add more i put in the new re-blooming onesrdquo he explains ldquoi may add more and a few other thingsrdquo
But in a garden you can always try something new or rearrange existing plants often with a spectacular outcome

i recently finished reading the great Western writer Wallace Stegnerrsquos book ldquoThe Sound of Mountain Waterrdquo One of his essays traces his nomadic childhood which left him feeling rootless and without a place that he felt he could call home
i identify with his feeling of not belonging i was born to a single woman from Massachusetts in a New york City hospital i stayed a scant few days before being placed with an adoption agency Born in a place i had no familial connection to i was immediately deprived of my biological family Most of my childhood was spent in suburban Cleveland Ohio Moves to upstate New york New England and Pennsylvania brought me no closer to calling any place home i loved living in the western Massachusetts town of Stockbridge but the multigenerational denizens of the town left few openings for newcomers like me i lived in central Pennsylvania for several decades but felt detached from the deep roots that most people had in the area
When we came west (for my husband a homecoming to his Oregon roots for me a new experience) i noticed that even in long-established towns like Walla Walla there is ample room for newcomers who want to be
part of the community And most folks who choose to come here donrsquot seem to want to change the valley they prefer to embrace it
While the occasional newbie whines about the lack of Whole Foods or Nordstrom they soon discover our farmers markets the wide variety of local shops and boutiques and our world-class restaurants They fall in love with our charming downtowns the small-town friendliness of the people and our kid-friendly environment Then therersquos the holiday parade the fair the ever-present Blue Mountains the parks the museums the wineries mdash really whatrsquos not to like The communities of our valley represent America at its best
irsquom a newspaper junkie i love to read everything from news to sports to classifieds mdash even the obituaries The obits are a fascinating window on our valley Many of the people chronicled were born here some lived all their lives here inextricably bound to this place But a number of people came here from other places often far away and have made a mark on our area Which makes me wonder mdash is a place any less of a hometown because you choose it or is it based primarily on the happenstance of your birth it seems that therersquos room for both paths to calling this wonderful valley home
itrsquos also our strength because collectively as a community we bring both deep familial and cultural traditions as well as the fresh perspective of newcomers to our area irsquom glad mdash after decades of searching mdash that i finally found my hometown a place that feels just right

Painful as it was the lesson learned proved to be a career-launching moment for Mundle who dedicated himself to his trade and spent a lifetime in the golf business successfully working up and down the i-5 corridor as course operator teacher and player
Fifty-seven years after that first teaching debacle Mundle now 79 years old is retired and living in Walla Walla He and his wife Ann relocated here last summer determined to give up teaching golf and spend more time playing the game they both love
ldquoAfter all of these years of teaching i feel that this is the time to lay it asiderdquo Mundle said ldquoi will still do a little studying of the golf swing and methods and i will be involved with some of the other local professionals in some cracker-barrel sessions when they get together to discuss teaching methods problems and how to solve them
ldquoBut i really came here not to teach but to play some golfrdquo
That was the plan anyway before he was introduced to Walla Walla High School senior Jake Hanson who was looking for a little extra help with his game heading into his final year on the links as a Blue Devil
Terri Hanson Jakersquos mother was aware of Mundlersquos reputation as a teaching professional and heard through the grapevine he was living in Walla Walla
ldquoBeing the mom i am i called him one dayrdquo Terri remembered ldquoi told him that Jakersquos golf game was at a standstill i asked him to take a look at Jake and he agreed to come and meet us and get a feel for where Jake was at
ldquoHe did and before you knew it they were putting on our hardwood floors The next day they agreed to get together at Wine valley mdash they were there for four hours and it has been an amazing connection right from the beginning
ldquoAl is an amazing Christian man who is so well-respected in his fieldrdquo Terri added ldquoAnd he just demands respect irsquom seeing my son of 17 all of a sudden growing uprdquo
Mundle concedes he is intrigued by Hansonrsquos character and potential And
Under the watchful eye of Al Mundle Jake Hanson hits an iron shot

Hanson holds his new mentor in high esteem
ldquoirsquove learned a tremendous amountrdquo Hanson said ldquoHe has a way of getting through to me in a positive way He got through to me that i am so much better than i thought i could be He has more confidence in me than i have in myself
ldquoHe has one of the best golf swings i have ever seen and he is still working on his own gamerdquo
Mundle said Hanson reminds him of former University of Oregon player Ben Crane who now plays on the PGA Tour Crane has been playing professionally since 2007 and earned nearly $3 million on the tour in 2010
ldquoi was Benrsquos swing coach at Oregon and Jake is somewhat similarrdquo Mundle said ldquoBen worked harder than anybody on the whole golf team He would put in as much
time as three or four others combined and Jake is very much the same way Hersquos very dedicatedrdquo
However Mundle insists that helping Hanson with his game is a one-time situation
After playing just six rounds of golf last year Mundle is determined that he and Ann will spend a lot more time on the golf course as they get acquainted with their new hometown
ldquoThatrsquos an all-time lowrdquo he said of the six rounds played in 2010 ldquoMostly it was the move and all mdash a new house putting in lawn fencing shelving in the garage mdash all the little things of getting settled
ldquoBut this was a good move for us We love it here We enjoy the weather and the people you can walk down the street and people look you in the eye and say lsquoHellorsquo i love that friendlinessrdquo
Mundle grew up in Eugene and graduated from University High School in 1950 He knew he said from the time he was in the seventh grade he wanted to make golf his lifersquos work
ldquoyou might say that i had a little parental directionrdquo Mundle said ldquoMy dad went to the University of St Andrews in Scotland and he played golf at the St Andrews Old Course And my mother also played golfrdquo
After high school Mundle enrolled at the University of Oregon and played three years of varsity golf during an era when there was no such thing as a golf scholarship
ldquoThe only thing we ever received was a half-a-dozen golf balls if we went into a tournamentrdquo Mundle recalled ldquoWhen i went to the NCAA Championships in Texas my senior year i was given a new
people ltcontinued from pg 17
Walla Walla LifestyLes 19
pair of golf shoes but that was itldquoWe bought all of our own gear mdash
clubs bags rain gear everything itrsquos a whole different ball game today They have everythingrdquo
At the end of his sophomore year at Oregon Mundle had it in his mind to ldquotest my golf on the PGA Tourrdquo he said But his father an English professor at the university discouraged him
ldquoHe said lsquoGet your education first then you can do whatever you wantrsquordquo Mundle said ldquoit was just as well i saved a lot of wear and tear mdash and money i was an Ok player but not of that caliberrdquo
Mundle still has fond memories of his collegiate playing career however
ldquoi played three years for the university mdash you werenrsquot allowed to play as freshmen mdash and Oregon always had fine golf teamsrdquo Mundle said ldquoit was mostly match
play then and i was there during the time that the school went seven straight years without losing a (team) dual matchrdquo
During his senior year Mundle qualified for the NCAA Championships in Houston From a field of about 160 players Mundle made it as far as the quarterfinal round
He graduated in 1954 with a degree in history which he said he never really used
ldquoMy dad was in the top one percent of his class at St Andrewsrdquo Mundle said ldquoMy mother was also in the top part of her class and my older brother Pete was in the top of his class And then i came alongrdquo
His first golf job was as an assistant pro at his home course the Laurelwood Golf Course a position he accepted shortly after graduating from UO This was when and where the infamous first golf lesson
occurredA two-year stint in the US Army took
Mundle away from his profession in 1955-56 But he managed to keep his golf game sharp as a member of the Fort knox golf team and in 1956 he was the runner-up in the Second Army tournament and he placed 13th in the All-Army tournament
Then it was back to the Willamette valley where he came into his own in the Portland area under head professionals Eddie Hogan at riverside Country Club and Bunny Mason at Columbia Edgewater
ldquoThose two people were very influential in my professional liferdquo Mundle said
ldquoEddie was a very fine teacher of the total golf operation and service was No 1 i learned how to run the pro shop how

to market and merchandise mdash everything from how to run the club service program to the electric cart program to basically running the golf course
ldquoBunny was also a very fine operator of a golf shop and i also learned a lot about teaching from Bunny Sometimes you go along in life and there are certain mentors who help you along the way Anybody who says they made it by themselves is not being honest with themselves We have all had someone who has given us a little boost along the wayrdquo
Mundle took his first head professional job in 1965 at Overlake Golf and Country Club in Bellevue where he remained until 1981 At that point he returned to Eugene and was the head pro at the Eugene Country Club for three years followed by a six-year stint at the Bear Creek Country Club in Seattle
He also spent a short time at a golf course in Cottage Grove Ore before moving back to Eugene for a third time in 1993 to become the director of golf instruction at the river ridge Golf Course He remained at river ridge until his retirement last summer During his time there he helped out as the swing coach at UO under then-head coach Steve Nosler
Through it all Mundle served as president of the Washington PGA and the Pacific Northwest PGA and was a member of several National PGA committees As a player he participated in the Oregon Washington and Pacific Northwest opens as well as the Washington and Oregon PGA events One of his highlights was winning the Oregon Senior PGA Match-Play Championships in Bend in 1993
ldquoi felt i had an obligation to participaterdquo Mundle said ldquoi played a lot of golf including many many pro-ams and i won a couple of assistant championshipsrdquo
in addition to Crane Mundle also helped shape the careers of Jeff Quinney and Eric Johnson both of whom are from the Eugene area
Quinney won the United States Amateur championship in 2000 and represented the US in the Walker Cup in 2001 He has appeared in 128 PGA Tour events since 2007 placing second twice and third twice
Johnson played several years on the Asian Tour and one on the Nationwide Tour He is now a head professional at a

course in San rafael CalifldquoAnd there have been some others mdash
Brian Henninger Mike Gove a few others mdash who have called and wanted to discus their swingrdquo Mundle said ldquoNothing on a regular basis just one or two sessionsrdquo
is Hanson his next mdash and perhaps his last mdash prodigy
Thatrsquos a tricky question since Hanson came to golf late after a budding baseball career was derailed by a shoulder injury He was a first-team all-Big Nine Conference golf selection as a junior but has yet to qualify for state and his summer resume is thin because of his baseball background
Hansonrsquos original plan was to attend Walla Walla Community College and play golf for the Warriors with the hope of earning an NCAA Division i scholarship But he has since decided to enroll in Arizona State Universityrsquos Professional Golf Management program and try out for the ASU golf team as a walk on
ldquoMore than anything i think it came down to him evaluating his goalsrdquo said Jakersquos father Gary Hanson ldquoitrsquos everyonersquos dream to play on the PGA Tour but realistically he wants to be a golf pro and teach He loves
the gamerdquoAnd a degree in the PGM program
will provide Jake with the educational background he needs to be successful in any form of business his father added
Though his chances of making the ASU varsity team seem unlikely the PGM program provides a club golf team that participates in a series of tournaments throughout the year and gives Hanson a second playing option
And keeping your options open is optimum at this point Mundle said
ldquoi think his driving force at this time mdash and also his folks mdash is to get his education And then he can do whatever he wants if he doesnrsquot go into (the golfing business) immediately he will always have it as a backuprdquo
Sounds an awful lot like the advice Thomas Mundle offered his son back in the spring of 1952 when Al Mundle wanted to leave school after his sophomore year and test his wings on the PGA Tour And as we now know all these years later staying in school worked out pretty well for Al

T H E A T R EPOWER HOUSE
My director Terry Edward Moore told me his only direction from the artistic director was that it be ldquoperiodrdquo that is to say authentic to the time
ldquoMerry Wivesrdquo is the only one of Shakespearersquos plays that is set in his own time so it was decided to present it as if the actors were people of the time doing what would be a contemporary (to the late 16th century) play
i started to research the clothing of the time how it was constructed and what kinds of fabrics were available at the time mdash linens homespuns woolens for the common people and silks damasks velvets and furs for the upper classes i discovered that Elizabethan society was strictly regulated in terms of social classes and upward mobility was a little-known concept Once a yeoman always a yeoman i also discovered the set of rules and regulations called ldquosumptuary lawsrdquo which specifically dictated what types of fabrics trims furs and even what colors each class was allowed to wear
Since there are three distinct classes represented in ldquoMerry Wivesrdquo mdash merchant class soldiers and servants mdash i tried to give each class its own color palette based on these laws The overall palette of the show is based on colors actually in use at the time
The availability of dyes was limited (except for the nobility) so the palette consists of many shades of yellows and browns russets black some greens and blue-grays and of course wheat-colored unbleached linen i turned to the Dutch painter Brueghel for inspiration on how the common people looked and dressed
i also researched what kinds of dyes were used and where they came from Dyes were created from all sorts of different things such as walnut shell crushed beetles and all kinds of roots i found a website that sells these authentic dyestuffs so irsquom using the real thing to dye some of the linen pieces and will coordinate the contemporary fabrics to these authentic colors
Nearly every piece will need something done to it mdash altered in some way to fit the actor re-trimmed rigged invisibly for quick changes etc mdash so there is a lot of labor involved Also hats were a hugely important part of Elizabethan fashion all the way down to the poorest serf
Certain styles of hats were often associated with certain professions mdash eg doctors scholars mdash so there are a number of hats to build as well as headpieces for the women No self-respecting woman went about with her head uncovered
Putting together a show like this is like putting together a giant jigsaw puzzle and the pieces are the costumes that irsquove borrowed and rented from other theater companies in the Seattle area such as Seattle repertory Seattle Opera and the University of Washington as well as pieces from Oregon Shakespeare Festival i design the show and then go out into the world and try to find pieces that approximate my designs and palette as closely as possible (usually with some reworking first) The pieces that i cant find and dont want to compromise on i build from scratch

But thatrsquos exactly what longtime Walla Walla resident Larry Adams did for four years He was one of a select group of pilots for Marine One the helicopter counterpart of the presidential airplane Air Force One from 1970 to 1974

Long before Adams became the Walla Walla Airport manager he was transporting heads of state foreign dignitaries famous (and now infamous) Cabinet members the executive staff and President richard M Nixon during one of the nationrsquos most turbulent times the withdrawal from vietnam and the Watergate scandal
But to Adams a native of Northern idaho all that swirled around the Nixon presidency was the least of his concerns His job was to transport the president safely to Andrews Air Force Base or Camp David or fly any short flight required Safety always at a premium End of story
Many times Adams ferried President Nixon and his staff on short flights far away from home Air Force One might fly President Nixon to a summit or a meeting with a foreign head of state but Marine One and Adams were always nearby to shuttle the chief executive on short flights or to whisk him away from sudden danger
Pretty heady stuff for a fourth-grade teacher who had never thought about flying until a Marine recruiter offered him the opportunity Although Adams had watched planes take off and land at a nearby air base as a child he had never given serious thought to flying it was more a need for a bigger paycheck than passion that brought Adams to his destiny
He liked teaching but it just wasnrsquot paying the bills So Adams turned to the military and the Gi Bill After being unimpressed by other recruiters Adams took a liking to the fellow from the Marines for as Adams recalls the recruiter took an interest in him After about an hour of talking the recruiter suggested Adams might have the potential to be a pilot
Having easily passed some preliminary tests Adams was sent to flight school in Pensacola Fla and a stellar career was ready to take off He performed well in all the aircraft he piloted but he showed a special skill for helicopters
Up until 1965 fixed-wing airplanes were the staple of all military air combat But the military had been gearing up for a big change The helicopter was to become a major part of combat The Pentagon had been developing helicopters that would do much more than transport troops to bases Now they would assist in bombing
raids ground attacks and the evacuation of the injured from the point of combat This new breed of helicopters would also possess the ability to fight back and not be lame ducks as before the new H34 would tote machine guns on each side
These cutting-edge aircraft would travel at unprecedented speeds with newly discovered agility Gifted pilots were needed not those who merely possessed superior technical skills but those who also had the composure to fly straight into
enemy fire in the dead of night picking up injured soldiers or aiding air attacks
Adams was one of those pilots and he would be one of two squadron leaders for ldquoOperation Starliterdquo mdash the first major assault using helicopters The Marines were going straight into a North vietnamese regimental stronghold No one knew what to expect
ldquoWe lost a lot that first time inrdquo says Adams ldquoTwo crew chiefs were killed
Continued on pg 32 gt
In this newspaper clipping Larry Adams poses on the steps of the helicopter dubbed Marine One which he piloted for President Richard M Nixon

people ltcontinued from pg 31
four pilots were medevaced out because of their wounds i donrsquot think there was one helicopter that didnrsquot have a bunch of holes in it The one i flew in we got a lot of rounds in it Amazingly no one was hurt but when we got back the helicopter was so shot-up you couldnrsquot fly it anymore We lost 50 percent of our helicopters that dayrdquo
in the next 13 months Adams would fly many more missions often heading straight into anti-aircraft fire to pick up injured or killed soldiers He says he would see the flares signifying where the copter was supposed to land but frequently hersquod have to veer off because ground communication would say ldquoThe artillery is too hotrdquo Then there would be a window maybe two minutes maybe five when the helicopter could drop in and pick up the injured often being shot at as it waited for its passengers
Adams knew the best way to survive was to keep his focus ldquoin the daylight when you start your run in and yoursquore getting shot at Everything went to black and white for me i didnrsquot notice the green trees or the green rice paddies until we got out of there and then it would come back
to me i donrsquot know what that was i just didnrsquot see the colors irsquove talked to some other pilots and they described the same thingrdquo
in his two tours of duty in vietnam Adams would fly 880 combat missions in several types of helicopters and fixed-wing airplanes He received numerous medals including two Navy commendations for performance under combat conditions
Then the call came to fly for the president Before Adams could tote the commander in chief around in Marine One a thorough background check had to be done So thorough was the check that Adams said a friend from his hometown sent him a card that read ldquoAre you in some kind of trouble Jesus therersquos been a bunch of people around here with the dark grey suits and the skinny little ties Theyrsquore asking all these embarrassing questions about you like did you have drinking problem Did you have a gambling problem Do you know what Larryrsquos sexual preference wasrdquo
Adams chuckles ldquoit was pretty funnyrdquoAdams passed the grade and soon
he was flying President Nixon and his family to Camp David or picking up vice
President Spiro Agnew at the Pentagon or taking Secretary of State Henry kissinger or Secretary of Defense Alexander Haig to a classified meeting Although his flights varied from transporting foreign heads of state to flying members of the press the majority involved the president the vice president kissinger and Haig
The pilots did not speak to their travelers unless spoken to says Adams President Nixon usually looked in and asked them how they were kissinger never spoke Haig was good for a pat on the shoulder now and then but it was Agnew who conversed the most says Adams
Adams remembers ldquoOne time we picked him up at the Pentagon and we had taken off and had hit top altitude He usually would come up and look into the cockpit but this time he patted me on the shoulder and asked lsquoWell howrsquos it going today guysrsquordquo Adams replied ldquoNot bad sir and how about yourselfrdquo
Agnew answered ldquoMan they are really after my assrdquo He was talking about the press Adams says ldquoTwo weeks later he resignedrdquo
Adams recalls that his encounters with Agnew as defying the public perception
Adams far right gives instructions before a mission in Vietnam
Walla Walla LifestyLes 33
that Agnew was arrogant ldquoHe was always one of the nicest guys He was straightforward He looked like he had just stepped off the cover of Gentlemenrsquos Quarterly all the time He was very proper in the way he dressed but he had a sense of humor as wellrdquo
There were other humorous moments Adams recalls a certain reporter from CBS who had been a major thorn in President Nixonrsquos side was late for takeoff from the South Lawn of the White House one morning Just as Marine One was about to leave without him he came running across the lawn hollering and waving his arms The Secret Service agent supervising the flight told Adams to ldquojust gordquo The wind from the propellers whipped the reporterrsquos toupee right off his head and instead of continuing his run toward Marine One he reversed his field and tried feverishly to retrieve his toupee snagged in the hedges
ldquoEveryone got a pretty good chuckle out of thatrdquo
Of course there were somber times At one point Adams flew Cabinet members John Ehrlichman and Hr Haldeman to Camp David for a meeting with the president After only 15 minutes the two men returned and Marine One headed home Adams says it was a quiet flight He found out later the two men had been fired by President Nixon for their parts in the Watergate scandal
Whisking the president away from danger was a major part of being a pilot of Marine One Stationed across the river from the Capitol pilots awakened by an emergency alert had to be up in the air in five minutes This exercise was practiced often though never needed during Adamsrsquo tenure
One night however they thought it was The operator at the White House mistakenly hit the ldquoAlertrdquo button Marine One was in the air in five minutes
Although ground control had not spotted any enemy aircraft the operation was under way As Marine One closed in on the White House the operator at fault tried to alert everyone of his mistake but unfortunately used a poor choice of words to call off the operation
Adams chuckles as he says ldquoThe fella said lsquoThis is not an exercisersquo He was moved to another post i thinkrdquo
All levity aside the position required
the same kind of focus demanded of Adams in vietnam though it came in a different form
ldquoThere were three things the way you operated the aircraft and they were in this order safety comfort and speed Safety never gave in to comfort or speedrdquo says Adams ldquoOur job was just concentrating on doing our job it could have been anybody mdash we would do it the same way it could have been Fred Flintstone
ldquoThe difference between flying for the White House and in vietnam was we were flying a premier aircraft We had to keep it impeccably clean everything was scripted We had to have the lsquoopen-the-door timersquo down to two to four seconds in vietnam it was the stress of performing medevacs under fire or dropping troops under heavy artillery For Marine One it was the stress of doing the job rightrdquo
Also the stress of being away from onersquos family 200 days of the year wore on a Marine One pilot in 1974 after four years on the job the toll became too much and Adams stepped down
He would stay with the Marines for eight more years retiring in August 1982
By then he had received 44 Air Medals including the Joint Service Commendation and the Presidential Service Badge in his 20 years of service Adams flew seven different helicopters and five different fixed-wing planes
What makes an elite military pilot ldquoPilots who donrsquot have any misgivingsrdquo says Adams ldquoTheyrsquore totally prepared they know their aircraftrdquo
When talking about his colleagues on Marine One he adds ldquoNone were boasters They might brag about a great landing but they did not brag in spite of someone elserdquo
What did Adams love most about his flying days ldquoi enjoyed flying with the latest technology and the pristine quality of Marine One i loved the process of building my skills i could have flown another 40 years and i would still be learning thingsrdquo
is it any surprise his favorite hobby now is fly fishing

it is astonishing in many ways mdash that we are presented with two weeks of top-drawer music performed by top-drawer musi-cians that there are so many ways to encounter the music (many of them free) and that a rural community has provided the incu-
bator for such a cultural undertaking to name but a fewGranted we are not your average rural community having two
colleges a university a symphony a choral society a community band and music in the schools but letrsquos face it wersquore not exactly a cosmopolitan center of culture like New york either The Cham-ber Music Festival mdash and our continued support of it through some tough times mdash puts us in a category all our own

worked hard to start this event and to my great joy it has taken on an iden-tity of its own i hire the musicians and choose the music but the town its people and its environs make the festivalrdquo
The beauty of chamber music is its intimacy mdash smaller ensembles performing for smaller audiences it has been referred to as ldquothe music of friendsrdquo which seems so apt at this festival Free open rehearsals are held around town that provide not only a musical atmosphere in which to enjoy a latte or the ambiance of the kirkman House but which give a richer look into the machinations of a working ensemble
As one enthusiastic fan puts it ldquoi am not a musician and itrsquos fascinat-ing to watch these rehearsals to see the interactions of the musicians as they work out the snags make wry remarks and relate to each other in a whole different way than during a for-mal performance i get a glimpse into their personalities and what makes them tickrdquo
The festival supplies a generous of-fering of venues with free concerts for children and families relaxed evening programs at wineries and full concerts at the Foundry Chism Hall and Day-tonrsquos Liberty Theater
if you are lucky enough to live near the musiciansrsquo lodgings while they are in town you may also be treated to an ad hoc front-porch concert as the ensembles continue their rehearsals in more private settings The festival is about all of these ways mdash planned and accidental mdash to experience the enchantment of chamber music
it is also about historic continuity and the connection between past and present mdash relishing the existing canon while expanding the genre with con-temporary forms and voices
How is this accomplished in part by the annual commission of a new piece of music for the festival Chris-tie is committed to contributing to the broader chamber music repertoire and to providing the audience with the richest possible experience

ldquoFor classical music to be relevant there must be a conversation between the music of our time and the music of the pastrdquo he says
By commissioning a work for the festi-val each year Christie creates such a con-versation
This year the commission was given to John David Earnest Four festival commis-sions have preceded his and he is the sec-ond ldquolocalrdquo composer to be tapped add-ing another layer of relationship between community and event (in 2009 Whitman College professor David Glenn was given the nod)
As visiting adjunct professor of music at Whitman Earnest resides here for six weeks every semester His ldquoSecond Sym-phonyrdquo was written for and performed by the Walla Walla Symphony in October 2001
The challenge for the yearly commis-sionee is to compose a piece on demand within specific constraints of time place and instrumentation while expressing hisher own voice as an artist
Earnest has created ldquoCommedia Gal-leryrdquo a set of three movements for flute
viola and harp based on stock characters from the Commedia dellrsquoArte a popu-lar theatrical form that was influential in Europe for over 300 years Commedia characters improvised dialogue around set scenarios generally involving the struggles of young lovers to overcome hindrances to their romance and each character even-tually came to have a consistent set of at-tributes in speech mannerisms and cos-tume
Earnestrsquos ldquoGalleryrdquo gives us Arlecchi-no (Harlequin) an acrobatic and devious jester Pierrot the classic sad clown and finally Scaramouche a dandy and a brag-gart who is a coward at heart
in anticipation of this yearrsquos festival i am reminded of the scene in ldquoThe Music Manrdquo in which the town awaits the ar-rival of the Wells Fargo Wagon Potentially heaped with gifts and surprises it prom-ises connection to the larger world The WWCMF brings us all ldquosomethinrsquo specialrdquo mdash an enrichment of our community and our culture

Smith has gardened for years at his home at 38 Mulberry Court in College Place He used to grow vegetables and flowers now he is strictly focusing on flowers mdash with fabulous results roses delphiniums and lots of irises line the fence
ldquoirises mdash irsquove always enjoyed themrdquo he says ldquoThey take a little bit of weeding and watering but not much morerdquo itrsquos the gardenerrsquos dream mdash low maintenance with a big return
A retired orthopedic surgeon Smith has in the past gardened more extensively than he does now But he has enough plants to keep him busy His new project is planting more of the reblooming iris These are still hardy but you get twice the reward they bloom in the spring then again in the fall
ldquoTheyrsquore easy to grow and spectacular for a short time iris take less care than a lot of thingsrdquo Smith says
His secret for gardening is simple and therersquos no getting around it ldquoTime and workrdquo he laughs
Hersquos getting ready to start in the garden ldquoi need to clean out the leaves and the old foliage of the irisrdquo
in addition to the basic cleaning and maintenance Smith just decides how many plants to keep Bulb flowers are hardy and they multiply on their own
ldquoAfter five years you usually have to separate the bulbs when they get too thick i donrsquot have room to add more i put in the new re-blooming onesrdquo he explains ldquoi may add more and a few other thingsrdquo
But in a garden you can always try something new or rearrange existing plants often with a spectacular outcome

itrsquos an odd location since it can only be seen as yoursquore leaving town but it always makes me smile This valley my adopted home is indeed a great place to be
i recently finished reading the great Western writer Wallace Stegnerrsquos book ldquoThe Sound of Mountain Waterrdquo One of his essays traces his nomadic childhood which left him feeling rootless and without a place that he felt he could call home
i identify with his feeling of not belonging i was born to a single woman from Massachusetts in a New york City hospital i stayed a scant few days before being placed with an adoption agency Born in a place i had no familial connection to i was immediately deprived of my biological family Most of my childhood was spent in suburban Cleveland Ohio Moves to upstate New york New England and Pennsylvania brought me no closer to calling any place home i loved living in the western Massachusetts town of Stockbridge but the multigenerational denizens of the town left few openings for newcomers like me i lived in central Pennsylvania for several decades but felt detached from the deep roots that most people had in the area
When we came west (for my husband a homecoming to his Oregon roots for me a new experience) i noticed that even in long-established towns like Walla Walla there is ample room for newcomers who want to be
part of the community And most folks who choose to come here donrsquot seem to want to change the valley they prefer to embrace it
While the occasional newbie whines about the lack of Whole Foods or Nordstrom they soon discover our farmers markets the wide variety of local shops and boutiques and our world-class restaurants They fall in love with our charming downtowns the small-town friendliness of the people and our kid-friendly environment Then therersquos the holiday parade the fair the ever-present Blue Mountains the parks the museums the wineries mdash really whatrsquos not to like The communities of our valley represent America at its best
irsquom a newspaper junkie i love to read everything from news to sports to classifieds mdash even the obituaries The obits are a fascinating window on our valley Many of the people chronicled were born here some lived all their lives here inextricably bound to this place But a number of people came here from other places often far away and have made a mark on our area Which makes me wonder mdash is a place any less of a hometown because you choose it or is it based primarily on the happenstance of your birth it seems that therersquos room for both paths to calling this wonderful valley home
itrsquos also our strength because collectively as a community we bring both deep familial and cultural traditions as well as the fresh perspective of newcomers to our area irsquom glad mdash after decades of searching mdash that i finally found my hometown a place that feels just right

Hanson holds his new mentor in high esteem
ldquoirsquove learned a tremendous amountrdquo Hanson said ldquoHe has a way of getting through to me in a positive way He got through to me that i am so much better than i thought i could be He has more confidence in me than i have in myself
ldquoHe has one of the best golf swings i have ever seen and he is still working on his own gamerdquo
Mundle said Hanson reminds him of former University of Oregon player Ben Crane who now plays on the PGA Tour Crane has been playing professionally since 2007 and earned nearly $3 million on the tour in 2010
ldquoi was Benrsquos swing coach at Oregon and Jake is somewhat similarrdquo Mundle said ldquoBen worked harder than anybody on the whole golf team He would put in as much
time as three or four others combined and Jake is very much the same way Hersquos very dedicatedrdquo
However Mundle insists that helping Hanson with his game is a one-time situation
After playing just six rounds of golf last year Mundle is determined that he and Ann will spend a lot more time on the golf course as they get acquainted with their new hometown
ldquoThatrsquos an all-time lowrdquo he said of the six rounds played in 2010 ldquoMostly it was the move and all mdash a new house putting in lawn fencing shelving in the garage mdash all the little things of getting settled
ldquoBut this was a good move for us We love it here We enjoy the weather and the people you can walk down the street and people look you in the eye and say lsquoHellorsquo i love that friendlinessrdquo
Mundle grew up in Eugene and graduated from University High School in 1950 He knew he said from the time he was in the seventh grade he wanted to make golf his lifersquos work
ldquoyou might say that i had a little parental directionrdquo Mundle said ldquoMy dad went to the University of St Andrews in Scotland and he played golf at the St Andrews Old Course And my mother also played golfrdquo
After high school Mundle enrolled at the University of Oregon and played three years of varsity golf during an era when there was no such thing as a golf scholarship
ldquoThe only thing we ever received was a half-a-dozen golf balls if we went into a tournamentrdquo Mundle recalled ldquoWhen i went to the NCAA Championships in Texas my senior year i was given a new
people ltcontinued from pg 17
Walla Walla LifestyLes 19
pair of golf shoes but that was itldquoWe bought all of our own gear mdash
clubs bags rain gear everything itrsquos a whole different ball game today They have everythingrdquo
At the end of his sophomore year at Oregon Mundle had it in his mind to ldquotest my golf on the PGA Tourrdquo he said But his father an English professor at the university discouraged him
ldquoHe said lsquoGet your education first then you can do whatever you wantrsquordquo Mundle said ldquoit was just as well i saved a lot of wear and tear mdash and money i was an Ok player but not of that caliberrdquo
Mundle still has fond memories of his collegiate playing career however
ldquoi played three years for the university mdash you werenrsquot allowed to play as freshmen mdash and Oregon always had fine golf teamsrdquo Mundle said ldquoit was mostly match
play then and i was there during the time that the school went seven straight years without losing a (team) dual matchrdquo
During his senior year Mundle qualified for the NCAA Championships in Houston From a field of about 160 players Mundle made it as far as the quarterfinal round
He graduated in 1954 with a degree in history which he said he never really used
ldquoMy dad was in the top one percent of his class at St Andrewsrdquo Mundle said ldquoMy mother was also in the top part of her class and my older brother Pete was in the top of his class And then i came alongrdquo
His first golf job was as an assistant pro at his home course the Laurelwood Golf Course a position he accepted shortly after graduating from UO This was when and where the infamous first golf lesson
occurredA two-year stint in the US Army took
Mundle away from his profession in 1955-56 But he managed to keep his golf game sharp as a member of the Fort knox golf team and in 1956 he was the runner-up in the Second Army tournament and he placed 13th in the All-Army tournament
Then it was back to the Willamette valley where he came into his own in the Portland area under head professionals Eddie Hogan at riverside Country Club and Bunny Mason at Columbia Edgewater
ldquoThose two people were very influential in my professional liferdquo Mundle said
ldquoEddie was a very fine teacher of the total golf operation and service was No 1 i learned how to run the pro shop how

to market and merchandise mdash everything from how to run the club service program to the electric cart program to basically running the golf course
ldquoBunny was also a very fine operator of a golf shop and i also learned a lot about teaching from Bunny Sometimes you go along in life and there are certain mentors who help you along the way Anybody who says they made it by themselves is not being honest with themselves We have all had someone who has given us a little boost along the wayrdquo
Mundle took his first head professional job in 1965 at Overlake Golf and Country Club in Bellevue where he remained until 1981 At that point he returned to Eugene and was the head pro at the Eugene Country Club for three years followed by a six-year stint at the Bear Creek Country Club in Seattle
He also spent a short time at a golf course in Cottage Grove Ore before moving back to Eugene for a third time in 1993 to become the director of golf instruction at the river ridge Golf Course He remained at river ridge until his retirement last summer During his time there he helped out as the swing coach at UO under then-head coach Steve Nosler
Through it all Mundle served as president of the Washington PGA and the Pacific Northwest PGA and was a member of several National PGA committees As a player he participated in the Oregon Washington and Pacific Northwest opens as well as the Washington and Oregon PGA events One of his highlights was winning the Oregon Senior PGA Match-Play Championships in Bend in 1993
ldquoi felt i had an obligation to participaterdquo Mundle said ldquoi played a lot of golf including many many pro-ams and i won a couple of assistant championshipsrdquo
in addition to Crane Mundle also helped shape the careers of Jeff Quinney and Eric Johnson both of whom are from the Eugene area
Quinney won the United States Amateur championship in 2000 and represented the US in the Walker Cup in 2001 He has appeared in 128 PGA Tour events since 2007 placing second twice and third twice
Johnson played several years on the Asian Tour and one on the Nationwide Tour He is now a head professional at a

course in San rafael CalifldquoAnd there have been some others mdash
Brian Henninger Mike Gove a few others mdash who have called and wanted to discus their swingrdquo Mundle said ldquoNothing on a regular basis just one or two sessionsrdquo
is Hanson his next mdash and perhaps his last mdash prodigy
Thatrsquos a tricky question since Hanson came to golf late after a budding baseball career was derailed by a shoulder injury He was a first-team all-Big Nine Conference golf selection as a junior but has yet to qualify for state and his summer resume is thin because of his baseball background
Hansonrsquos original plan was to attend Walla Walla Community College and play golf for the Warriors with the hope of earning an NCAA Division i scholarship But he has since decided to enroll in Arizona State Universityrsquos Professional Golf Management program and try out for the ASU golf team as a walk on
ldquoMore than anything i think it came down to him evaluating his goalsrdquo said Jakersquos father Gary Hanson ldquoitrsquos everyonersquos dream to play on the PGA Tour but realistically he wants to be a golf pro and teach He loves
the gamerdquoAnd a degree in the PGM program
will provide Jake with the educational background he needs to be successful in any form of business his father added
Though his chances of making the ASU varsity team seem unlikely the PGM program provides a club golf team that participates in a series of tournaments throughout the year and gives Hanson a second playing option
And keeping your options open is optimum at this point Mundle said
ldquoi think his driving force at this time mdash and also his folks mdash is to get his education And then he can do whatever he wants if he doesnrsquot go into (the golfing business) immediately he will always have it as a backuprdquo
Sounds an awful lot like the advice Thomas Mundle offered his son back in the spring of 1952 when Al Mundle wanted to leave school after his sophomore year and test his wings on the PGA Tour And as we now know all these years later staying in school worked out pretty well for Al

T H E A T R EPOWER HOUSE
My director Terry Edward Moore told me his only direction from the artistic director was that it be ldquoperiodrdquo that is to say authentic to the time
ldquoMerry Wivesrdquo is the only one of Shakespearersquos plays that is set in his own time so it was decided to present it as if the actors were people of the time doing what would be a contemporary (to the late 16th century) play
i started to research the clothing of the time how it was constructed and what kinds of fabrics were available at the time mdash linens homespuns woolens for the common people and silks damasks velvets and furs for the upper classes i discovered that Elizabethan society was strictly regulated in terms of social classes and upward mobility was a little-known concept Once a yeoman always a yeoman i also discovered the set of rules and regulations called ldquosumptuary lawsrdquo which specifically dictated what types of fabrics trims furs and even what colors each class was allowed to wear
Since there are three distinct classes represented in ldquoMerry Wivesrdquo mdash merchant class soldiers and servants mdash i tried to give each class its own color palette based on these laws The overall palette of the show is based on colors actually in use at the time
The availability of dyes was limited (except for the nobility) so the palette consists of many shades of yellows and browns russets black some greens and blue-grays and of course wheat-colored unbleached linen i turned to the Dutch painter Brueghel for inspiration on how the common people looked and dressed
i also researched what kinds of dyes were used and where they came from Dyes were created from all sorts of different things such as walnut shell crushed beetles and all kinds of roots i found a website that sells these authentic dyestuffs so irsquom using the real thing to dye some of the linen pieces and will coordinate the contemporary fabrics to these authentic colors
Nearly every piece will need something done to it mdash altered in some way to fit the actor re-trimmed rigged invisibly for quick changes etc mdash so there is a lot of labor involved Also hats were a hugely important part of Elizabethan fashion all the way down to the poorest serf
Certain styles of hats were often associated with certain professions mdash eg doctors scholars mdash so there are a number of hats to build as well as headpieces for the women No self-respecting woman went about with her head uncovered
Putting together a show like this is like putting together a giant jigsaw puzzle and the pieces are the costumes that irsquove borrowed and rented from other theater companies in the Seattle area such as Seattle repertory Seattle Opera and the University of Washington as well as pieces from Oregon Shakespeare Festival i design the show and then go out into the world and try to find pieces that approximate my designs and palette as closely as possible (usually with some reworking first) The pieces that i cant find and dont want to compromise on i build from scratch

But thatrsquos exactly what longtime Walla Walla resident Larry Adams did for four years He was one of a select group of pilots for Marine One the helicopter counterpart of the presidential airplane Air Force One from 1970 to 1974

Long before Adams became the Walla Walla Airport manager he was transporting heads of state foreign dignitaries famous (and now infamous) Cabinet members the executive staff and President richard M Nixon during one of the nationrsquos most turbulent times the withdrawal from vietnam and the Watergate scandal
But to Adams a native of Northern idaho all that swirled around the Nixon presidency was the least of his concerns His job was to transport the president safely to Andrews Air Force Base or Camp David or fly any short flight required Safety always at a premium End of story
Many times Adams ferried President Nixon and his staff on short flights far away from home Air Force One might fly President Nixon to a summit or a meeting with a foreign head of state but Marine One and Adams were always nearby to shuttle the chief executive on short flights or to whisk him away from sudden danger
Pretty heady stuff for a fourth-grade teacher who had never thought about flying until a Marine recruiter offered him the opportunity Although Adams had watched planes take off and land at a nearby air base as a child he had never given serious thought to flying it was more a need for a bigger paycheck than passion that brought Adams to his destiny
He liked teaching but it just wasnrsquot paying the bills So Adams turned to the military and the Gi Bill After being unimpressed by other recruiters Adams took a liking to the fellow from the Marines for as Adams recalls the recruiter took an interest in him After about an hour of talking the recruiter suggested Adams might have the potential to be a pilot
Having easily passed some preliminary tests Adams was sent to flight school in Pensacola Fla and a stellar career was ready to take off He performed well in all the aircraft he piloted but he showed a special skill for helicopters
Up until 1965 fixed-wing airplanes were the staple of all military air combat But the military had been gearing up for a big change The helicopter was to become a major part of combat The Pentagon had been developing helicopters that would do much more than transport troops to bases Now they would assist in bombing
raids ground attacks and the evacuation of the injured from the point of combat This new breed of helicopters would also possess the ability to fight back and not be lame ducks as before the new H34 would tote machine guns on each side
These cutting-edge aircraft would travel at unprecedented speeds with newly discovered agility Gifted pilots were needed not those who merely possessed superior technical skills but those who also had the composure to fly straight into
enemy fire in the dead of night picking up injured soldiers or aiding air attacks
Adams was one of those pilots and he would be one of two squadron leaders for ldquoOperation Starliterdquo mdash the first major assault using helicopters The Marines were going straight into a North vietnamese regimental stronghold No one knew what to expect
ldquoWe lost a lot that first time inrdquo says Adams ldquoTwo crew chiefs were killed
Continued on pg 32 gt
In this newspaper clipping Larry Adams poses on the steps of the helicopter dubbed Marine One which he piloted for President Richard M Nixon

people ltcontinued from pg 31
four pilots were medevaced out because of their wounds i donrsquot think there was one helicopter that didnrsquot have a bunch of holes in it The one i flew in we got a lot of rounds in it Amazingly no one was hurt but when we got back the helicopter was so shot-up you couldnrsquot fly it anymore We lost 50 percent of our helicopters that dayrdquo
in the next 13 months Adams would fly many more missions often heading straight into anti-aircraft fire to pick up injured or killed soldiers He says he would see the flares signifying where the copter was supposed to land but frequently hersquod have to veer off because ground communication would say ldquoThe artillery is too hotrdquo Then there would be a window maybe two minutes maybe five when the helicopter could drop in and pick up the injured often being shot at as it waited for its passengers
Adams knew the best way to survive was to keep his focus ldquoin the daylight when you start your run in and yoursquore getting shot at Everything went to black and white for me i didnrsquot notice the green trees or the green rice paddies until we got out of there and then it would come back
to me i donrsquot know what that was i just didnrsquot see the colors irsquove talked to some other pilots and they described the same thingrdquo
in his two tours of duty in vietnam Adams would fly 880 combat missions in several types of helicopters and fixed-wing airplanes He received numerous medals including two Navy commendations for performance under combat conditions
Then the call came to fly for the president Before Adams could tote the commander in chief around in Marine One a thorough background check had to be done So thorough was the check that Adams said a friend from his hometown sent him a card that read ldquoAre you in some kind of trouble Jesus therersquos been a bunch of people around here with the dark grey suits and the skinny little ties Theyrsquore asking all these embarrassing questions about you like did you have drinking problem Did you have a gambling problem Do you know what Larryrsquos sexual preference wasrdquo
Adams chuckles ldquoit was pretty funnyrdquoAdams passed the grade and soon
he was flying President Nixon and his family to Camp David or picking up vice
President Spiro Agnew at the Pentagon or taking Secretary of State Henry kissinger or Secretary of Defense Alexander Haig to a classified meeting Although his flights varied from transporting foreign heads of state to flying members of the press the majority involved the president the vice president kissinger and Haig
The pilots did not speak to their travelers unless spoken to says Adams President Nixon usually looked in and asked them how they were kissinger never spoke Haig was good for a pat on the shoulder now and then but it was Agnew who conversed the most says Adams
Adams remembers ldquoOne time we picked him up at the Pentagon and we had taken off and had hit top altitude He usually would come up and look into the cockpit but this time he patted me on the shoulder and asked lsquoWell howrsquos it going today guysrsquordquo Adams replied ldquoNot bad sir and how about yourselfrdquo
Agnew answered ldquoMan they are really after my assrdquo He was talking about the press Adams says ldquoTwo weeks later he resignedrdquo
Adams recalls that his encounters with Agnew as defying the public perception
Adams far right gives instructions before a mission in Vietnam
Walla Walla LifestyLes 33
that Agnew was arrogant ldquoHe was always one of the nicest guys He was straightforward He looked like he had just stepped off the cover of Gentlemenrsquos Quarterly all the time He was very proper in the way he dressed but he had a sense of humor as wellrdquo
There were other humorous moments Adams recalls a certain reporter from CBS who had been a major thorn in President Nixonrsquos side was late for takeoff from the South Lawn of the White House one morning Just as Marine One was about to leave without him he came running across the lawn hollering and waving his arms The Secret Service agent supervising the flight told Adams to ldquojust gordquo The wind from the propellers whipped the reporterrsquos toupee right off his head and instead of continuing his run toward Marine One he reversed his field and tried feverishly to retrieve his toupee snagged in the hedges
ldquoEveryone got a pretty good chuckle out of thatrdquo
Of course there were somber times At one point Adams flew Cabinet members John Ehrlichman and Hr Haldeman to Camp David for a meeting with the president After only 15 minutes the two men returned and Marine One headed home Adams says it was a quiet flight He found out later the two men had been fired by President Nixon for their parts in the Watergate scandal
Whisking the president away from danger was a major part of being a pilot of Marine One Stationed across the river from the Capitol pilots awakened by an emergency alert had to be up in the air in five minutes This exercise was practiced often though never needed during Adamsrsquo tenure
One night however they thought it was The operator at the White House mistakenly hit the ldquoAlertrdquo button Marine One was in the air in five minutes
Although ground control had not spotted any enemy aircraft the operation was under way As Marine One closed in on the White House the operator at fault tried to alert everyone of his mistake but unfortunately used a poor choice of words to call off the operation
Adams chuckles as he says ldquoThe fella said lsquoThis is not an exercisersquo He was moved to another post i thinkrdquo
All levity aside the position required
the same kind of focus demanded of Adams in vietnam though it came in a different form
ldquoThere were three things the way you operated the aircraft and they were in this order safety comfort and speed Safety never gave in to comfort or speedrdquo says Adams ldquoOur job was just concentrating on doing our job it could have been anybody mdash we would do it the same way it could have been Fred Flintstone
ldquoThe difference between flying for the White House and in vietnam was we were flying a premier aircraft We had to keep it impeccably clean everything was scripted We had to have the lsquoopen-the-door timersquo down to two to four seconds in vietnam it was the stress of performing medevacs under fire or dropping troops under heavy artillery For Marine One it was the stress of doing the job rightrdquo
Also the stress of being away from onersquos family 200 days of the year wore on a Marine One pilot in 1974 after four years on the job the toll became too much and Adams stepped down
He would stay with the Marines for eight more years retiring in August 1982
By then he had received 44 Air Medals including the Joint Service Commendation and the Presidential Service Badge in his 20 years of service Adams flew seven different helicopters and five different fixed-wing planes
What makes an elite military pilot ldquoPilots who donrsquot have any misgivingsrdquo says Adams ldquoTheyrsquore totally prepared they know their aircraftrdquo
When talking about his colleagues on Marine One he adds ldquoNone were boasters They might brag about a great landing but they did not brag in spite of someone elserdquo
What did Adams love most about his flying days ldquoi enjoyed flying with the latest technology and the pristine quality of Marine One i loved the process of building my skills i could have flown another 40 years and i would still be learning thingsrdquo
is it any surprise his favorite hobby now is fly fishing

it is astonishing in many ways mdash that we are presented with two weeks of top-drawer music performed by top-drawer musi-cians that there are so many ways to encounter the music (many of them free) and that a rural community has provided the incu-
bator for such a cultural undertaking to name but a fewGranted we are not your average rural community having two
colleges a university a symphony a choral society a community band and music in the schools but letrsquos face it wersquore not exactly a cosmopolitan center of culture like New york either The Cham-ber Music Festival mdash and our continued support of it through some tough times mdash puts us in a category all our own

worked hard to start this event and to my great joy it has taken on an iden-tity of its own i hire the musicians and choose the music but the town its people and its environs make the festivalrdquo
The beauty of chamber music is its intimacy mdash smaller ensembles performing for smaller audiences it has been referred to as ldquothe music of friendsrdquo which seems so apt at this festival Free open rehearsals are held around town that provide not only a musical atmosphere in which to enjoy a latte or the ambiance of the kirkman House but which give a richer look into the machinations of a working ensemble
As one enthusiastic fan puts it ldquoi am not a musician and itrsquos fascinat-ing to watch these rehearsals to see the interactions of the musicians as they work out the snags make wry remarks and relate to each other in a whole different way than during a for-mal performance i get a glimpse into their personalities and what makes them tickrdquo
The festival supplies a generous of-fering of venues with free concerts for children and families relaxed evening programs at wineries and full concerts at the Foundry Chism Hall and Day-tonrsquos Liberty Theater
if you are lucky enough to live near the musiciansrsquo lodgings while they are in town you may also be treated to an ad hoc front-porch concert as the ensembles continue their rehearsals in more private settings The festival is about all of these ways mdash planned and accidental mdash to experience the enchantment of chamber music
it is also about historic continuity and the connection between past and present mdash relishing the existing canon while expanding the genre with con-temporary forms and voices
How is this accomplished in part by the annual commission of a new piece of music for the festival Chris-tie is committed to contributing to the broader chamber music repertoire and to providing the audience with the richest possible experience

ldquoFor classical music to be relevant there must be a conversation between the music of our time and the music of the pastrdquo he says
By commissioning a work for the festi-val each year Christie creates such a con-versation
This year the commission was given to John David Earnest Four festival commis-sions have preceded his and he is the sec-ond ldquolocalrdquo composer to be tapped add-ing another layer of relationship between community and event (in 2009 Whitman College professor David Glenn was given the nod)
As visiting adjunct professor of music at Whitman Earnest resides here for six weeks every semester His ldquoSecond Sym-phonyrdquo was written for and performed by the Walla Walla Symphony in October 2001
The challenge for the yearly commis-sionee is to compose a piece on demand within specific constraints of time place and instrumentation while expressing hisher own voice as an artist
Earnest has created ldquoCommedia Gal-leryrdquo a set of three movements for flute
viola and harp based on stock characters from the Commedia dellrsquoArte a popu-lar theatrical form that was influential in Europe for over 300 years Commedia characters improvised dialogue around set scenarios generally involving the struggles of young lovers to overcome hindrances to their romance and each character even-tually came to have a consistent set of at-tributes in speech mannerisms and cos-tume
Earnestrsquos ldquoGalleryrdquo gives us Arlecchi-no (Harlequin) an acrobatic and devious jester Pierrot the classic sad clown and finally Scaramouche a dandy and a brag-gart who is a coward at heart
in anticipation of this yearrsquos festival i am reminded of the scene in ldquoThe Music Manrdquo in which the town awaits the ar-rival of the Wells Fargo Wagon Potentially heaped with gifts and surprises it prom-ises connection to the larger world The WWCMF brings us all ldquosomethinrsquo specialrdquo mdash an enrichment of our community and our culture

Smith has gardened for years at his home at 38 Mulberry Court in College Place He used to grow vegetables and flowers now he is strictly focusing on flowers mdash with fabulous results roses delphiniums and lots of irises line the fence
ldquoirises mdash irsquove always enjoyed themrdquo he says ldquoThey take a little bit of weeding and watering but not much morerdquo itrsquos the gardenerrsquos dream mdash low maintenance with a big return
A retired orthopedic surgeon Smith has in the past gardened more extensively than he does now But he has enough plants to keep him busy His new project is planting more of the reblooming iris These are still hardy but you get twice the reward they bloom in the spring then again in the fall
ldquoTheyrsquore easy to grow and spectacular for a short time iris take less care than a lot of thingsrdquo Smith says
His secret for gardening is simple and therersquos no getting around it ldquoTime and workrdquo he laughs
Hersquos getting ready to start in the garden ldquoi need to clean out the leaves and the old foliage of the irisrdquo
in addition to the basic cleaning and maintenance Smith just decides how many plants to keep Bulb flowers are hardy and they multiply on their own
ldquoAfter five years you usually have to separate the bulbs when they get too thick i donrsquot have room to add more i put in the new re-blooming onesrdquo he explains ldquoi may add more and a few other thingsrdquo
But in a garden you can always try something new or rearrange existing plants often with a spectacular outcome

itrsquos an odd location since it can only be seen as yoursquore leaving town but it always makes me smile This valley my adopted home is indeed a great place to be
i recently finished reading the great Western writer Wallace Stegnerrsquos book ldquoThe Sound of Mountain Waterrdquo One of his essays traces his nomadic childhood which left him feeling rootless and without a place that he felt he could call home
i identify with his feeling of not belonging i was born to a single woman from Massachusetts in a New york City hospital i stayed a scant few days before being placed with an adoption agency Born in a place i had no familial connection to i was immediately deprived of my biological family Most of my childhood was spent in suburban Cleveland Ohio Moves to upstate New york New England and Pennsylvania brought me no closer to calling any place home i loved living in the western Massachusetts town of Stockbridge but the multigenerational denizens of the town left few openings for newcomers like me i lived in central Pennsylvania for several decades but felt detached from the deep roots that most people had in the area
When we came west (for my husband a homecoming to his Oregon roots for me a new experience) i noticed that even in long-established towns like Walla Walla there is ample room for newcomers who want to be
part of the community And most folks who choose to come here donrsquot seem to want to change the valley they prefer to embrace it
While the occasional newbie whines about the lack of Whole Foods or Nordstrom they soon discover our farmers markets the wide variety of local shops and boutiques and our world-class restaurants They fall in love with our charming downtowns the small-town friendliness of the people and our kid-friendly environment Then therersquos the holiday parade the fair the ever-present Blue Mountains the parks the museums the wineries mdash really whatrsquos not to like The communities of our valley represent America at its best
irsquom a newspaper junkie i love to read everything from news to sports to classifieds mdash even the obituaries The obits are a fascinating window on our valley Many of the people chronicled were born here some lived all their lives here inextricably bound to this place But a number of people came here from other places often far away and have made a mark on our area Which makes me wonder mdash is a place any less of a hometown because you choose it or is it based primarily on the happenstance of your birth it seems that therersquos room for both paths to calling this wonderful valley home
itrsquos also our strength because collectively as a community we bring both deep familial and cultural traditions as well as the fresh perspective of newcomers to our area irsquom glad mdash after decades of searching mdash that i finally found my hometown a place that feels just right

pair of golf shoes but that was itldquoWe bought all of our own gear mdash
clubs bags rain gear everything itrsquos a whole different ball game today They have everythingrdquo
At the end of his sophomore year at Oregon Mundle had it in his mind to ldquotest my golf on the PGA Tourrdquo he said But his father an English professor at the university discouraged him
ldquoHe said lsquoGet your education first then you can do whatever you wantrsquordquo Mundle said ldquoit was just as well i saved a lot of wear and tear mdash and money i was an Ok player but not of that caliberrdquo
Mundle still has fond memories of his collegiate playing career however
ldquoi played three years for the university mdash you werenrsquot allowed to play as freshmen mdash and Oregon always had fine golf teamsrdquo Mundle said ldquoit was mostly match
play then and i was there during the time that the school went seven straight years without losing a (team) dual matchrdquo
During his senior year Mundle qualified for the NCAA Championships in Houston From a field of about 160 players Mundle made it as far as the quarterfinal round
He graduated in 1954 with a degree in history which he said he never really used
ldquoMy dad was in the top one percent of his class at St Andrewsrdquo Mundle said ldquoMy mother was also in the top part of her class and my older brother Pete was in the top of his class And then i came alongrdquo
His first golf job was as an assistant pro at his home course the Laurelwood Golf Course a position he accepted shortly after graduating from UO This was when and where the infamous first golf lesson
occurredA two-year stint in the US Army took
Mundle away from his profession in 1955-56 But he managed to keep his golf game sharp as a member of the Fort knox golf team and in 1956 he was the runner-up in the Second Army tournament and he placed 13th in the All-Army tournament
Then it was back to the Willamette valley where he came into his own in the Portland area under head professionals Eddie Hogan at riverside Country Club and Bunny Mason at Columbia Edgewater

ldquoBunny was also a very fine operator of a golf shop and i also learned a lot about teaching from Bunny Sometimes you go along in life and there are certain mentors who help you along the way Anybody who says they made it by themselves is not being honest with themselves We have all had someone who has given us a little boost along the wayrdquo
Mundle took his first head professional job in 1965 at Overlake Golf and Country Club in Bellevue where he remained until 1981 At that point he returned to Eugene and was the head pro at the Eugene Country Club for three years followed by a six-year stint at the Bear Creek Country Club in Seattle
He also spent a short time at a golf course in Cottage Grove Ore before moving back to Eugene for a third time in 1993 to become the director of golf instruction at the river ridge Golf Course He remained at river ridge until his retirement last summer During his time there he helped out as the swing coach at UO under then-head coach Steve Nosler
Through it all Mundle served as president of the Washington PGA and the Pacific Northwest PGA and was a member of several National PGA committees As a player he participated in the Oregon Washington and Pacific Northwest opens as well as the Washington and Oregon PGA events One of his highlights was winning the Oregon Senior PGA Match-Play Championships in Bend in 1993
ldquoi felt i had an obligation to participaterdquo Mundle said ldquoi played a lot of golf including many many pro-ams and i won a couple of assistant championshipsrdquo
in addition to Crane Mundle also helped shape the careers of Jeff Quinney and Eric Johnson both of whom are from the Eugene area
Quinney won the United States Amateur championship in 2000 and represented the US in the Walker Cup in 2001 He has appeared in 128 PGA Tour events since 2007 placing second twice and third twice
Johnson played several years on the Asian Tour and one on the Nationwide Tour He is now a head professional at a

course in San rafael CalifldquoAnd there have been some others mdash
Brian Henninger Mike Gove a few others mdash who have called and wanted to discus their swingrdquo Mundle said ldquoNothing on a regular basis just one or two sessionsrdquo
is Hanson his next mdash and perhaps his last mdash prodigy
Thatrsquos a tricky question since Hanson came to golf late after a budding baseball career was derailed by a shoulder injury He was a first-team all-Big Nine Conference golf selection as a junior but has yet to qualify for state and his summer resume is thin because of his baseball background
Hansonrsquos original plan was to attend Walla Walla Community College and play golf for the Warriors with the hope of earning an NCAA Division i scholarship But he has since decided to enroll in Arizona State Universityrsquos Professional Golf Management program and try out for the ASU golf team as a walk on
ldquoMore than anything i think it came down to him evaluating his goalsrdquo said Jakersquos father Gary Hanson ldquoitrsquos everyonersquos dream to play on the PGA Tour but realistically he wants to be a golf pro and teach He loves
the gamerdquoAnd a degree in the PGM program
will provide Jake with the educational background he needs to be successful in any form of business his father added
Though his chances of making the ASU varsity team seem unlikely the PGM program provides a club golf team that participates in a series of tournaments throughout the year and gives Hanson a second playing option
And keeping your options open is optimum at this point Mundle said
ldquoi think his driving force at this time mdash and also his folks mdash is to get his education And then he can do whatever he wants if he doesnrsquot go into (the golfing business) immediately he will always have it as a backuprdquo
Sounds an awful lot like the advice Thomas Mundle offered his son back in the spring of 1952 when Al Mundle wanted to leave school after his sophomore year and test his wings on the PGA Tour And as we now know all these years later staying in school worked out pretty well for Al

T H E A T R EPOWER HOUSE
My director Terry Edward Moore told me his only direction from the artistic director was that it be ldquoperiodrdquo that is to say authentic to the time
ldquoMerry Wivesrdquo is the only one of Shakespearersquos plays that is set in his own time so it was decided to present it as if the actors were people of the time doing what would be a contemporary (to the late 16th century) play
i started to research the clothing of the time how it was constructed and what kinds of fabrics were available at the time mdash linens homespuns woolens for the common people and silks damasks velvets and furs for the upper classes i discovered that Elizabethan society was strictly regulated in terms of social classes and upward mobility was a little-known concept Once a yeoman always a yeoman i also discovered the set of rules and regulations called ldquosumptuary lawsrdquo which specifically dictated what types of fabrics trims furs and even what colors each class was allowed to wear
Since there are three distinct classes represented in ldquoMerry Wivesrdquo mdash merchant class soldiers and servants mdash i tried to give each class its own color palette based on these laws The overall palette of the show is based on colors actually in use at the time
The availability of dyes was limited (except for the nobility) so the palette consists of many shades of yellows and browns russets black some greens and blue-grays and of course wheat-colored unbleached linen i turned to the Dutch painter Brueghel for inspiration on how the common people looked and dressed
i also researched what kinds of dyes were used and where they came from Dyes were created from all sorts of different things such as walnut shell crushed beetles and all kinds of roots i found a website that sells these authentic dyestuffs so irsquom using the real thing to dye some of the linen pieces and will coordinate the contemporary fabrics to these authentic colors
Nearly every piece will need something done to it mdash altered in some way to fit the actor re-trimmed rigged invisibly for quick changes etc mdash so there is a lot of labor involved Also hats were a hugely important part of Elizabethan fashion all the way down to the poorest serf
Certain styles of hats were often associated with certain professions mdash eg doctors scholars mdash so there are a number of hats to build as well as headpieces for the women No self-respecting woman went about with her head uncovered
Putting together a show like this is like putting together a giant jigsaw puzzle and the pieces are the costumes that irsquove borrowed and rented from other theater companies in the Seattle area such as Seattle repertory Seattle Opera and the University of Washington as well as pieces from Oregon Shakespeare Festival i design the show and then go out into the world and try to find pieces that approximate my designs and palette as closely as possible (usually with some reworking first) The pieces that i cant find and dont want to compromise on i build from scratch

But thatrsquos exactly what longtime Walla Walla resident Larry Adams did for four years He was one of a select group of pilots for Marine One the helicopter counterpart of the presidential airplane Air Force One from 1970 to 1974

Long before Adams became the Walla Walla Airport manager he was transporting heads of state foreign dignitaries famous (and now infamous) Cabinet members the executive staff and President richard M Nixon during one of the nationrsquos most turbulent times the withdrawal from vietnam and the Watergate scandal
But to Adams a native of Northern idaho all that swirled around the Nixon presidency was the least of his concerns His job was to transport the president safely to Andrews Air Force Base or Camp David or fly any short flight required Safety always at a premium End of story
Many times Adams ferried President Nixon and his staff on short flights far away from home Air Force One might fly President Nixon to a summit or a meeting with a foreign head of state but Marine One and Adams were always nearby to shuttle the chief executive on short flights or to whisk him away from sudden danger
Pretty heady stuff for a fourth-grade teacher who had never thought about flying until a Marine recruiter offered him the opportunity Although Adams had watched planes take off and land at a nearby air base as a child he had never given serious thought to flying it was more a need for a bigger paycheck than passion that brought Adams to his destiny
He liked teaching but it just wasnrsquot paying the bills So Adams turned to the military and the Gi Bill After being unimpressed by other recruiters Adams took a liking to the fellow from the Marines for as Adams recalls the recruiter took an interest in him After about an hour of talking the recruiter suggested Adams might have the potential to be a pilot
Having easily passed some preliminary tests Adams was sent to flight school in Pensacola Fla and a stellar career was ready to take off He performed well in all the aircraft he piloted but he showed a special skill for helicopters
Up until 1965 fixed-wing airplanes were the staple of all military air combat But the military had been gearing up for a big change The helicopter was to become a major part of combat The Pentagon had been developing helicopters that would do much more than transport troops to bases Now they would assist in bombing
raids ground attacks and the evacuation of the injured from the point of combat This new breed of helicopters would also possess the ability to fight back and not be lame ducks as before the new H34 would tote machine guns on each side
These cutting-edge aircraft would travel at unprecedented speeds with newly discovered agility Gifted pilots were needed not those who merely possessed superior technical skills but those who also had the composure to fly straight into
enemy fire in the dead of night picking up injured soldiers or aiding air attacks
Adams was one of those pilots and he would be one of two squadron leaders for ldquoOperation Starliterdquo mdash the first major assault using helicopters The Marines were going straight into a North vietnamese regimental stronghold No one knew what to expect
ldquoWe lost a lot that first time inrdquo says Adams ldquoTwo crew chiefs were killed
Continued on pg 32 gt
In this newspaper clipping Larry Adams poses on the steps of the helicopter dubbed Marine One which he piloted for President Richard M Nixon

people ltcontinued from pg 31
four pilots were medevaced out because of their wounds i donrsquot think there was one helicopter that didnrsquot have a bunch of holes in it The one i flew in we got a lot of rounds in it Amazingly no one was hurt but when we got back the helicopter was so shot-up you couldnrsquot fly it anymore We lost 50 percent of our helicopters that dayrdquo
in the next 13 months Adams would fly many more missions often heading straight into anti-aircraft fire to pick up injured or killed soldiers He says he would see the flares signifying where the copter was supposed to land but frequently hersquod have to veer off because ground communication would say ldquoThe artillery is too hotrdquo Then there would be a window maybe two minutes maybe five when the helicopter could drop in and pick up the injured often being shot at as it waited for its passengers
Adams knew the best way to survive was to keep his focus ldquoin the daylight when you start your run in and yoursquore getting shot at Everything went to black and white for me i didnrsquot notice the green trees or the green rice paddies until we got out of there and then it would come back
to me i donrsquot know what that was i just didnrsquot see the colors irsquove talked to some other pilots and they described the same thingrdquo
in his two tours of duty in vietnam Adams would fly 880 combat missions in several types of helicopters and fixed-wing airplanes He received numerous medals including two Navy commendations for performance under combat conditions
Then the call came to fly for the president Before Adams could tote the commander in chief around in Marine One a thorough background check had to be done So thorough was the check that Adams said a friend from his hometown sent him a card that read ldquoAre you in some kind of trouble Jesus therersquos been a bunch of people around here with the dark grey suits and the skinny little ties Theyrsquore asking all these embarrassing questions about you like did you have drinking problem Did you have a gambling problem Do you know what Larryrsquos sexual preference wasrdquo
Adams chuckles ldquoit was pretty funnyrdquoAdams passed the grade and soon
he was flying President Nixon and his family to Camp David or picking up vice
President Spiro Agnew at the Pentagon or taking Secretary of State Henry kissinger or Secretary of Defense Alexander Haig to a classified meeting Although his flights varied from transporting foreign heads of state to flying members of the press the majority involved the president the vice president kissinger and Haig
The pilots did not speak to their travelers unless spoken to says Adams President Nixon usually looked in and asked them how they were kissinger never spoke Haig was good for a pat on the shoulder now and then but it was Agnew who conversed the most says Adams
Adams remembers ldquoOne time we picked him up at the Pentagon and we had taken off and had hit top altitude He usually would come up and look into the cockpit but this time he patted me on the shoulder and asked lsquoWell howrsquos it going today guysrsquordquo Adams replied ldquoNot bad sir and how about yourselfrdquo
Agnew answered ldquoMan they are really after my assrdquo He was talking about the press Adams says ldquoTwo weeks later he resignedrdquo
Adams recalls that his encounters with Agnew as defying the public perception
Adams far right gives instructions before a mission in Vietnam
Walla Walla LifestyLes 33
that Agnew was arrogant ldquoHe was always one of the nicest guys He was straightforward He looked like he had just stepped off the cover of Gentlemenrsquos Quarterly all the time He was very proper in the way he dressed but he had a sense of humor as wellrdquo
There were other humorous moments Adams recalls a certain reporter from CBS who had been a major thorn in President Nixonrsquos side was late for takeoff from the South Lawn of the White House one morning Just as Marine One was about to leave without him he came running across the lawn hollering and waving his arms The Secret Service agent supervising the flight told Adams to ldquojust gordquo The wind from the propellers whipped the reporterrsquos toupee right off his head and instead of continuing his run toward Marine One he reversed his field and tried feverishly to retrieve his toupee snagged in the hedges
ldquoEveryone got a pretty good chuckle out of thatrdquo
Of course there were somber times At one point Adams flew Cabinet members John Ehrlichman and Hr Haldeman to Camp David for a meeting with the president After only 15 minutes the two men returned and Marine One headed home Adams says it was a quiet flight He found out later the two men had been fired by President Nixon for their parts in the Watergate scandal
Whisking the president away from danger was a major part of being a pilot of Marine One Stationed across the river from the Capitol pilots awakened by an emergency alert had to be up in the air in five minutes This exercise was practiced often though never needed during Adamsrsquo tenure
One night however they thought it was The operator at the White House mistakenly hit the ldquoAlertrdquo button Marine One was in the air in five minutes
Although ground control had not spotted any enemy aircraft the operation was under way As Marine One closed in on the White House the operator at fault tried to alert everyone of his mistake but unfortunately used a poor choice of words to call off the operation
Adams chuckles as he says ldquoThe fella said lsquoThis is not an exercisersquo He was moved to another post i thinkrdquo
All levity aside the position required
the same kind of focus demanded of Adams in vietnam though it came in a different form
ldquoThere were three things the way you operated the aircraft and they were in this order safety comfort and speed Safety never gave in to comfort or speedrdquo says Adams ldquoOur job was just concentrating on doing our job it could have been anybody mdash we would do it the same way it could have been Fred Flintstone
ldquoThe difference between flying for the White House and in vietnam was we were flying a premier aircraft We had to keep it impeccably clean everything was scripted We had to have the lsquoopen-the-door timersquo down to two to four seconds in vietnam it was the stress of performing medevacs under fire or dropping troops under heavy artillery For Marine One it was the stress of doing the job rightrdquo
Also the stress of being away from onersquos family 200 days of the year wore on a Marine One pilot in 1974 after four years on the job the toll became too much and Adams stepped down
He would stay with the Marines for eight more years retiring in August 1982
By then he had received 44 Air Medals including the Joint Service Commendation and the Presidential Service Badge in his 20 years of service Adams flew seven different helicopters and five different fixed-wing planes
What makes an elite military pilot ldquoPilots who donrsquot have any misgivingsrdquo says Adams ldquoTheyrsquore totally prepared they know their aircraftrdquo
When talking about his colleagues on Marine One he adds ldquoNone were boasters They might brag about a great landing but they did not brag in spite of someone elserdquo
What did Adams love most about his flying days ldquoi enjoyed flying with the latest technology and the pristine quality of Marine One i loved the process of building my skills i could have flown another 40 years and i would still be learning thingsrdquo
is it any surprise his favorite hobby now is fly fishing

it is astonishing in many ways mdash that we are presented with two weeks of top-drawer music performed by top-drawer musi-cians that there are so many ways to encounter the music (many of them free) and that a rural community has provided the incu-
bator for such a cultural undertaking to name but a fewGranted we are not your average rural community having two
colleges a university a symphony a choral society a community band and music in the schools but letrsquos face it wersquore not exactly a cosmopolitan center of culture like New york either The Cham-ber Music Festival mdash and our continued support of it through some tough times mdash puts us in a category all our own

worked hard to start this event and to my great joy it has taken on an iden-tity of its own i hire the musicians and choose the music but the town its people and its environs make the festivalrdquo
The beauty of chamber music is its intimacy mdash smaller ensembles performing for smaller audiences it has been referred to as ldquothe music of friendsrdquo which seems so apt at this festival Free open rehearsals are held around town that provide not only a musical atmosphere in which to enjoy a latte or the ambiance of the kirkman House but which give a richer look into the machinations of a working ensemble
As one enthusiastic fan puts it ldquoi am not a musician and itrsquos fascinat-ing to watch these rehearsals to see the interactions of the musicians as they work out the snags make wry remarks and relate to each other in a whole different way than during a for-mal performance i get a glimpse into their personalities and what makes them tickrdquo
The festival supplies a generous of-fering of venues with free concerts for children and families relaxed evening programs at wineries and full concerts at the Foundry Chism Hall and Day-tonrsquos Liberty Theater
if you are lucky enough to live near the musiciansrsquo lodgings while they are in town you may also be treated to an ad hoc front-porch concert as the ensembles continue their rehearsals in more private settings The festival is about all of these ways mdash planned and accidental mdash to experience the enchantment of chamber music
it is also about historic continuity and the connection between past and present mdash relishing the existing canon while expanding the genre with con-temporary forms and voices
How is this accomplished in part by the annual commission of a new piece of music for the festival Chris-tie is committed to contributing to the broader chamber music repertoire and to providing the audience with the richest possible experience

ldquoFor classical music to be relevant there must be a conversation between the music of our time and the music of the pastrdquo he says
By commissioning a work for the festi-val each year Christie creates such a con-versation
This year the commission was given to John David Earnest Four festival commis-sions have preceded his and he is the sec-ond ldquolocalrdquo composer to be tapped add-ing another layer of relationship between community and event (in 2009 Whitman College professor David Glenn was given the nod)
As visiting adjunct professor of music at Whitman Earnest resides here for six weeks every semester His ldquoSecond Sym-phonyrdquo was written for and performed by the Walla Walla Symphony in October 2001
The challenge for the yearly commis-sionee is to compose a piece on demand within specific constraints of time place and instrumentation while expressing hisher own voice as an artist
Earnest has created ldquoCommedia Gal-leryrdquo a set of three movements for flute
viola and harp based on stock characters from the Commedia dellrsquoArte a popu-lar theatrical form that was influential in Europe for over 300 years Commedia characters improvised dialogue around set scenarios generally involving the struggles of young lovers to overcome hindrances to their romance and each character even-tually came to have a consistent set of at-tributes in speech mannerisms and cos-tume
Earnestrsquos ldquoGalleryrdquo gives us Arlecchi-no (Harlequin) an acrobatic and devious jester Pierrot the classic sad clown and finally Scaramouche a dandy and a brag-gart who is a coward at heart
in anticipation of this yearrsquos festival i am reminded of the scene in ldquoThe Music Manrdquo in which the town awaits the ar-rival of the Wells Fargo Wagon Potentially heaped with gifts and surprises it prom-ises connection to the larger world The WWCMF brings us all ldquosomethinrsquo specialrdquo mdash an enrichment of our community and our culture

Smith has gardened for years at his home at 38 Mulberry Court in College Place He used to grow vegetables and flowers now he is strictly focusing on flowers mdash with fabulous results roses delphiniums and lots of irises line the fence
ldquoirises mdash irsquove always enjoyed themrdquo he says ldquoThey take a little bit of weeding and watering but not much morerdquo itrsquos the gardenerrsquos dream mdash low maintenance with a big return
A retired orthopedic surgeon Smith has in the past gardened more extensively than he does now But he has enough plants to keep him busy His new project is planting more of the reblooming iris These are still hardy but you get twice the reward they bloom in the spring then again in the fall
ldquoTheyrsquore easy to grow and spectacular for a short time iris take less care than a lot of thingsrdquo Smith says
His secret for gardening is simple and therersquos no getting around it ldquoTime and workrdquo he laughs
Hersquos getting ready to start in the garden ldquoi need to clean out the leaves and the old foliage of the irisrdquo
in addition to the basic cleaning and maintenance Smith just decides how many plants to keep Bulb flowers are hardy and they multiply on their own
ldquoAfter five years you usually have to separate the bulbs when they get too thick i donrsquot have room to add more i put in the new re-blooming onesrdquo he explains ldquoi may add more and a few other thingsrdquo
But in a garden you can always try something new or rearrange existing plants often with a spectacular outcome

itrsquos an odd location since it can only be seen as yoursquore leaving town but it always makes me smile This valley my adopted home is indeed a great place to be
i recently finished reading the great Western writer Wallace Stegnerrsquos book ldquoThe Sound of Mountain Waterrdquo One of his essays traces his nomadic childhood which left him feeling rootless and without a place that he felt he could call home
i identify with his feeling of not belonging i was born to a single woman from Massachusetts in a New york City hospital i stayed a scant few days before being placed with an adoption agency Born in a place i had no familial connection to i was immediately deprived of my biological family Most of my childhood was spent in suburban Cleveland Ohio Moves to upstate New york New England and Pennsylvania brought me no closer to calling any place home i loved living in the western Massachusetts town of Stockbridge but the multigenerational denizens of the town left few openings for newcomers like me i lived in central Pennsylvania for several decades but felt detached from the deep roots that most people had in the area
When we came west (for my husband a homecoming to his Oregon roots for me a new experience) i noticed that even in long-established towns like Walla Walla there is ample room for newcomers who want to be
part of the community And most folks who choose to come here donrsquot seem to want to change the valley they prefer to embrace it
While the occasional newbie whines about the lack of Whole Foods or Nordstrom they soon discover our farmers markets the wide variety of local shops and boutiques and our world-class restaurants They fall in love with our charming downtowns the small-town friendliness of the people and our kid-friendly environment Then therersquos the holiday parade the fair the ever-present Blue Mountains the parks the museums the wineries mdash really whatrsquos not to like The communities of our valley represent America at its best
irsquom a newspaper junkie i love to read everything from news to sports to classifieds mdash even the obituaries The obits are a fascinating window on our valley Many of the people chronicled were born here some lived all their lives here inextricably bound to this place But a number of people came here from other places often far away and have made a mark on our area Which makes me wonder mdash is a place any less of a hometown because you choose it or is it based primarily on the happenstance of your birth it seems that therersquos room for both paths to calling this wonderful valley home
itrsquos also our strength because collectively as a community we bring both deep familial and cultural traditions as well as the fresh perspective of newcomers to our area irsquom glad mdash after decades of searching mdash that i finally found my hometown a place that feels just right

ldquoBunny was also a very fine operator of a golf shop and i also learned a lot about teaching from Bunny Sometimes you go along in life and there are certain mentors who help you along the way Anybody who says they made it by themselves is not being honest with themselves We have all had someone who has given us a little boost along the wayrdquo

Thatrsquos a tricky question since Hanson came to golf late after a budding baseball career was derailed by a shoulder injury He was a first-team all-Big Nine Conference golf selection as a junior but has yet to qualify for state and his summer resume is thin because of his baseball background
Hansonrsquos original plan was to attend Walla Walla Community College and play golf for the Warriors with the hope of earning an NCAA Division i scholarship But he has since decided to enroll in Arizona State Universityrsquos Professional Golf Management program and try out for the ASU golf team as a walk on
ldquoMore than anything i think it came down to him evaluating his goalsrdquo said Jakersquos father Gary Hanson ldquoitrsquos everyonersquos dream to play on the PGA Tour but realistically he wants to be a golf pro and teach He loves
the gamerdquoAnd a degree in the PGM program
will provide Jake with the educational background he needs to be successful in any form of business his father added
Though his chances of making the ASU varsity team seem unlikely the PGM program provides a club golf team that participates in a series of tournaments throughout the year and gives Hanson a second playing option
And keeping your options open is optimum at this point Mundle said
ldquoi think his driving force at this time mdash and also his folks mdash is to get his education And then he can do whatever he wants if he doesnrsquot go into (the golfing business) immediately he will always have it as a backuprdquo
Sounds an awful lot like the advice Thomas Mundle offered his son back in the spring of 1952 when Al Mundle wanted to leave school after his sophomore year and test his wings on the PGA Tour And as we now know all these years later staying in school worked out pretty well for Al

T H E A T R EPOWER HOUSE
My director Terry Edward Moore told me his only direction from the artistic director was that it be ldquoperiodrdquo that is to say authentic to the time
ldquoMerry Wivesrdquo is the only one of Shakespearersquos plays that is set in his own time so it was decided to present it as if the actors were people of the time doing what would be a contemporary (to the late 16th century) play
i started to research the clothing of the time how it was constructed and what kinds of fabrics were available at the time mdash linens homespuns woolens for the common people and silks damasks velvets and furs for the upper classes i discovered that Elizabethan society was strictly regulated in terms of social classes and upward mobility was a little-known concept Once a yeoman always a yeoman i also discovered the set of rules and regulations called ldquosumptuary lawsrdquo which specifically dictated what types of fabrics trims furs and even what colors each class was allowed to wear
Since there are three distinct classes represented in ldquoMerry Wivesrdquo mdash merchant class soldiers and servants mdash i tried to give each class its own color palette based on these laws The overall palette of the show is based on colors actually in use at the time
The availability of dyes was limited (except for the nobility) so the palette consists of many shades of yellows and browns russets black some greens and blue-grays and of course wheat-colored unbleached linen i turned to the Dutch painter Brueghel for inspiration on how the common people looked and dressed
i also researched what kinds of dyes were used and where they came from Dyes were created from all sorts of different things such as walnut shell crushed beetles and all kinds of roots i found a website that sells these authentic dyestuffs so irsquom using the real thing to dye some of the linen pieces and will coordinate the contemporary fabrics to these authentic colors
Nearly every piece will need something done to it mdash altered in some way to fit the actor re-trimmed rigged invisibly for quick changes etc mdash so there is a lot of labor involved Also hats were a hugely important part of Elizabethan fashion all the way down to the poorest serf
Certain styles of hats were often associated with certain professions mdash eg doctors scholars mdash so there are a number of hats to build as well as headpieces for the women No self-respecting woman went about with her head uncovered
Putting together a show like this is like putting together a giant jigsaw puzzle and the pieces are the costumes that irsquove borrowed and rented from other theater companies in the Seattle area such as Seattle repertory Seattle Opera and the University of Washington as well as pieces from Oregon Shakespeare Festival i design the show and then go out into the world and try to find pieces that approximate my designs and palette as closely as possible (usually with some reworking first) The pieces that i cant find and dont want to compromise on i build from scratch

But thatrsquos exactly what longtime Walla Walla resident Larry Adams did for four years He was one of a select group of pilots for Marine One the helicopter counterpart of the presidential airplane Air Force One from 1970 to 1974

Long before Adams became the Walla Walla Airport manager he was transporting heads of state foreign dignitaries famous (and now infamous) Cabinet members the executive staff and President richard M Nixon during one of the nationrsquos most turbulent times the withdrawal from vietnam and the Watergate scandal
But to Adams a native of Northern idaho all that swirled around the Nixon presidency was the least of his concerns His job was to transport the president safely to Andrews Air Force Base or Camp David or fly any short flight required Safety always at a premium End of story
Many times Adams ferried President Nixon and his staff on short flights far away from home Air Force One might fly President Nixon to a summit or a meeting with a foreign head of state but Marine One and Adams were always nearby to shuttle the chief executive on short flights or to whisk him away from sudden danger
Pretty heady stuff for a fourth-grade teacher who had never thought about flying until a Marine recruiter offered him the opportunity Although Adams had watched planes take off and land at a nearby air base as a child he had never given serious thought to flying it was more a need for a bigger paycheck than passion that brought Adams to his destiny
He liked teaching but it just wasnrsquot paying the bills So Adams turned to the military and the Gi Bill After being unimpressed by other recruiters Adams took a liking to the fellow from the Marines for as Adams recalls the recruiter took an interest in him After about an hour of talking the recruiter suggested Adams might have the potential to be a pilot
Having easily passed some preliminary tests Adams was sent to flight school in Pensacola Fla and a stellar career was ready to take off He performed well in all the aircraft he piloted but he showed a special skill for helicopters
Up until 1965 fixed-wing airplanes were the staple of all military air combat But the military had been gearing up for a big change The helicopter was to become a major part of combat The Pentagon had been developing helicopters that would do much more than transport troops to bases Now they would assist in bombing
raids ground attacks and the evacuation of the injured from the point of combat This new breed of helicopters would also possess the ability to fight back and not be lame ducks as before the new H34 would tote machine guns on each side
These cutting-edge aircraft would travel at unprecedented speeds with newly discovered agility Gifted pilots were needed not those who merely possessed superior technical skills but those who also had the composure to fly straight into
enemy fire in the dead of night picking up injured soldiers or aiding air attacks
Adams was one of those pilots and he would be one of two squadron leaders for ldquoOperation Starliterdquo mdash the first major assault using helicopters The Marines were going straight into a North vietnamese regimental stronghold No one knew what to expect
ldquoWe lost a lot that first time inrdquo says Adams ldquoTwo crew chiefs were killed
Continued on pg 32 gt
In this newspaper clipping Larry Adams poses on the steps of the helicopter dubbed Marine One which he piloted for President Richard M Nixon

people ltcontinued from pg 31
four pilots were medevaced out because of their wounds i donrsquot think there was one helicopter that didnrsquot have a bunch of holes in it The one i flew in we got a lot of rounds in it Amazingly no one was hurt but when we got back the helicopter was so shot-up you couldnrsquot fly it anymore We lost 50 percent of our helicopters that dayrdquo
in the next 13 months Adams would fly many more missions often heading straight into anti-aircraft fire to pick up injured or killed soldiers He says he would see the flares signifying where the copter was supposed to land but frequently hersquod have to veer off because ground communication would say ldquoThe artillery is too hotrdquo Then there would be a window maybe two minutes maybe five when the helicopter could drop in and pick up the injured often being shot at as it waited for its passengers
Adams knew the best way to survive was to keep his focus ldquoin the daylight when you start your run in and yoursquore getting shot at Everything went to black and white for me i didnrsquot notice the green trees or the green rice paddies until we got out of there and then it would come back
to me i donrsquot know what that was i just didnrsquot see the colors irsquove talked to some other pilots and they described the same thingrdquo
in his two tours of duty in vietnam Adams would fly 880 combat missions in several types of helicopters and fixed-wing airplanes He received numerous medals including two Navy commendations for performance under combat conditions
Then the call came to fly for the president Before Adams could tote the commander in chief around in Marine One a thorough background check had to be done So thorough was the check that Adams said a friend from his hometown sent him a card that read ldquoAre you in some kind of trouble Jesus therersquos been a bunch of people around here with the dark grey suits and the skinny little ties Theyrsquore asking all these embarrassing questions about you like did you have drinking problem Did you have a gambling problem Do you know what Larryrsquos sexual preference wasrdquo
Adams chuckles ldquoit was pretty funnyrdquoAdams passed the grade and soon
he was flying President Nixon and his family to Camp David or picking up vice
President Spiro Agnew at the Pentagon or taking Secretary of State Henry kissinger or Secretary of Defense Alexander Haig to a classified meeting Although his flights varied from transporting foreign heads of state to flying members of the press the majority involved the president the vice president kissinger and Haig
The pilots did not speak to their travelers unless spoken to says Adams President Nixon usually looked in and asked them how they were kissinger never spoke Haig was good for a pat on the shoulder now and then but it was Agnew who conversed the most says Adams
Adams remembers ldquoOne time we picked him up at the Pentagon and we had taken off and had hit top altitude He usually would come up and look into the cockpit but this time he patted me on the shoulder and asked lsquoWell howrsquos it going today guysrsquordquo Adams replied ldquoNot bad sir and how about yourselfrdquo
Agnew answered ldquoMan they are really after my assrdquo He was talking about the press Adams says ldquoTwo weeks later he resignedrdquo
Adams recalls that his encounters with Agnew as defying the public perception
Adams far right gives instructions before a mission in Vietnam
Walla Walla LifestyLes 33
that Agnew was arrogant ldquoHe was always one of the nicest guys He was straightforward He looked like he had just stepped off the cover of Gentlemenrsquos Quarterly all the time He was very proper in the way he dressed but he had a sense of humor as wellrdquo
There were other humorous moments Adams recalls a certain reporter from CBS who had been a major thorn in President Nixonrsquos side was late for takeoff from the South Lawn of the White House one morning Just as Marine One was about to leave without him he came running across the lawn hollering and waving his arms The Secret Service agent supervising the flight told Adams to ldquojust gordquo The wind from the propellers whipped the reporterrsquos toupee right off his head and instead of continuing his run toward Marine One he reversed his field and tried feverishly to retrieve his toupee snagged in the hedges
ldquoEveryone got a pretty good chuckle out of thatrdquo
Of course there were somber times At one point Adams flew Cabinet members John Ehrlichman and Hr Haldeman to Camp David for a meeting with the president After only 15 minutes the two men returned and Marine One headed home Adams says it was a quiet flight He found out later the two men had been fired by President Nixon for their parts in the Watergate scandal
Whisking the president away from danger was a major part of being a pilot of Marine One Stationed across the river from the Capitol pilots awakened by an emergency alert had to be up in the air in five minutes This exercise was practiced often though never needed during Adamsrsquo tenure
One night however they thought it was The operator at the White House mistakenly hit the ldquoAlertrdquo button Marine One was in the air in five minutes
Although ground control had not spotted any enemy aircraft the operation was under way As Marine One closed in on the White House the operator at fault tried to alert everyone of his mistake but unfortunately used a poor choice of words to call off the operation
Adams chuckles as he says ldquoThe fella said lsquoThis is not an exercisersquo He was moved to another post i thinkrdquo
All levity aside the position required
the same kind of focus demanded of Adams in vietnam though it came in a different form
ldquoThere were three things the way you operated the aircraft and they were in this order safety comfort and speed Safety never gave in to comfort or speedrdquo says Adams ldquoOur job was just concentrating on doing our job it could have been anybody mdash we would do it the same way it could have been Fred Flintstone
ldquoThe difference between flying for the White House and in vietnam was we were flying a premier aircraft We had to keep it impeccably clean everything was scripted We had to have the lsquoopen-the-door timersquo down to two to four seconds in vietnam it was the stress of performing medevacs under fire or dropping troops under heavy artillery For Marine One it was the stress of doing the job rightrdquo
Also the stress of being away from onersquos family 200 days of the year wore on a Marine One pilot in 1974 after four years on the job the toll became too much and Adams stepped down
He would stay with the Marines for eight more years retiring in August 1982
By then he had received 44 Air Medals including the Joint Service Commendation and the Presidential Service Badge in his 20 years of service Adams flew seven different helicopters and five different fixed-wing planes
What makes an elite military pilot ldquoPilots who donrsquot have any misgivingsrdquo says Adams ldquoTheyrsquore totally prepared they know their aircraftrdquo
When talking about his colleagues on Marine One he adds ldquoNone were boasters They might brag about a great landing but they did not brag in spite of someone elserdquo
What did Adams love most about his flying days ldquoi enjoyed flying with the latest technology and the pristine quality of Marine One i loved the process of building my skills i could have flown another 40 years and i would still be learning thingsrdquo
is it any surprise his favorite hobby now is fly fishing

it is astonishing in many ways mdash that we are presented with two weeks of top-drawer music performed by top-drawer musi-cians that there are so many ways to encounter the music (many of them free) and that a rural community has provided the incu-
bator for such a cultural undertaking to name but a fewGranted we are not your average rural community having two
colleges a university a symphony a choral society a community band and music in the schools but letrsquos face it wersquore not exactly a cosmopolitan center of culture like New york either The Cham-ber Music Festival mdash and our continued support of it through some tough times mdash puts us in a category all our own

worked hard to start this event and to my great joy it has taken on an iden-tity of its own i hire the musicians and choose the music but the town its people and its environs make the festivalrdquo
The beauty of chamber music is its intimacy mdash smaller ensembles performing for smaller audiences it has been referred to as ldquothe music of friendsrdquo which seems so apt at this festival Free open rehearsals are held around town that provide not only a musical atmosphere in which to enjoy a latte or the ambiance of the kirkman House but which give a richer look into the machinations of a working ensemble
As one enthusiastic fan puts it ldquoi am not a musician and itrsquos fascinat-ing to watch these rehearsals to see the interactions of the musicians as they work out the snags make wry remarks and relate to each other in a whole different way than during a for-mal performance i get a glimpse into their personalities and what makes them tickrdquo
The festival supplies a generous of-fering of venues with free concerts for children and families relaxed evening programs at wineries and full concerts at the Foundry Chism Hall and Day-tonrsquos Liberty Theater
if you are lucky enough to live near the musiciansrsquo lodgings while they are in town you may also be treated to an ad hoc front-porch concert as the ensembles continue their rehearsals in more private settings The festival is about all of these ways mdash planned and accidental mdash to experience the enchantment of chamber music
it is also about historic continuity and the connection between past and present mdash relishing the existing canon while expanding the genre with con-temporary forms and voices
How is this accomplished in part by the annual commission of a new piece of music for the festival Chris-tie is committed to contributing to the broader chamber music repertoire and to providing the audience with the richest possible experience

ldquoFor classical music to be relevant there must be a conversation between the music of our time and the music of the pastrdquo he says
By commissioning a work for the festi-val each year Christie creates such a con-versation
This year the commission was given to John David Earnest Four festival commis-sions have preceded his and he is the sec-ond ldquolocalrdquo composer to be tapped add-ing another layer of relationship between community and event (in 2009 Whitman College professor David Glenn was given the nod)
As visiting adjunct professor of music at Whitman Earnest resides here for six weeks every semester His ldquoSecond Sym-phonyrdquo was written for and performed by the Walla Walla Symphony in October 2001
The challenge for the yearly commis-sionee is to compose a piece on demand within specific constraints of time place and instrumentation while expressing hisher own voice as an artist
Earnest has created ldquoCommedia Gal-leryrdquo a set of three movements for flute
viola and harp based on stock characters from the Commedia dellrsquoArte a popu-lar theatrical form that was influential in Europe for over 300 years Commedia characters improvised dialogue around set scenarios generally involving the struggles of young lovers to overcome hindrances to their romance and each character even-tually came to have a consistent set of at-tributes in speech mannerisms and cos-tume
Earnestrsquos ldquoGalleryrdquo gives us Arlecchi-no (Harlequin) an acrobatic and devious jester Pierrot the classic sad clown and finally Scaramouche a dandy and a brag-gart who is a coward at heart
in anticipation of this yearrsquos festival i am reminded of the scene in ldquoThe Music Manrdquo in which the town awaits the ar-rival of the Wells Fargo Wagon Potentially heaped with gifts and surprises it prom-ises connection to the larger world The WWCMF brings us all ldquosomethinrsquo specialrdquo mdash an enrichment of our community and our culture

Smith has gardened for years at his home at 38 Mulberry Court in College Place He used to grow vegetables and flowers now he is strictly focusing on flowers mdash with fabulous results roses delphiniums and lots of irises line the fence
ldquoirises mdash irsquove always enjoyed themrdquo he says ldquoThey take a little bit of weeding and watering but not much morerdquo itrsquos the gardenerrsquos dream mdash low maintenance with a big return
A retired orthopedic surgeon Smith has in the past gardened more extensively than he does now But he has enough plants to keep him busy His new project is planting more of the reblooming iris These are still hardy but you get twice the reward they bloom in the spring then again in the fall
ldquoTheyrsquore easy to grow and spectacular for a short time iris take less care than a lot of thingsrdquo Smith says
His secret for gardening is simple and therersquos no getting around it ldquoTime and workrdquo he laughs
Hersquos getting ready to start in the garden ldquoi need to clean out the leaves and the old foliage of the irisrdquo
in addition to the basic cleaning and maintenance Smith just decides how many plants to keep Bulb flowers are hardy and they multiply on their own
ldquoAfter five years you usually have to separate the bulbs when they get too thick i donrsquot have room to add more i put in the new re-blooming onesrdquo he explains ldquoi may add more and a few other thingsrdquo

itrsquos an odd location since it can only be seen as yoursquore leaving town but it always makes me smile This valley my adopted home is indeed a great place to be
i recently finished reading the great Western writer Wallace Stegnerrsquos book ldquoThe Sound of Mountain Waterrdquo One of his essays traces his nomadic childhood which left him feeling rootless and without a place that he felt he could call home
i identify with his feeling of not belonging i was born to a single woman from Massachusetts in a New york City hospital i stayed a scant few days before being placed with an adoption agency Born in a place i had no familial connection to i was immediately deprived of my biological family Most of my childhood was spent in suburban Cleveland Ohio Moves to upstate New york New England and Pennsylvania brought me no closer to calling any place home i loved living in the western Massachusetts town of Stockbridge but the multigenerational denizens of the town left few openings for newcomers like me i lived in central Pennsylvania for several decades but felt detached from the deep roots that most people had in the area
When we came west (for my husband a homecoming to his Oregon roots for me a new experience) i noticed that even in long-established towns like Walla Walla there is ample room for newcomers who want to be
part of the community And most folks who choose to come here donrsquot seem to want to change the valley they prefer to embrace it
While the occasional newbie whines about the lack of Whole Foods or Nordstrom they soon discover our farmers markets the wide variety of local shops and boutiques and our world-class restaurants They fall in love with our charming downtowns the small-town friendliness of the people and our kid-friendly environment Then therersquos the holiday parade the fair the ever-present Blue Mountains the parks the museums the wineries mdash really whatrsquos not to like The communities of our valley represent America at its best
irsquom a newspaper junkie i love to read everything from news to sports to classifieds mdash even the obituaries The obits are a fascinating window on our valley Many of the people chronicled were born here some lived all their lives here inextricably bound to this place But a number of people came here from other places often far away and have made a mark on our area Which makes me wonder mdash is a place any less of a hometown because you choose it or is it based primarily on the happenstance of your birth it seems that therersquos room for both paths to calling this wonderful valley home
itrsquos also our strength because collectively as a community we bring both deep familial and cultural traditions as well as the fresh perspective of newcomers to our area irsquom glad mdash after decades of searching mdash that i finally found my hometown a place that feels just right

course in San rafael CalifldquoAnd there have been some others mdash
Brian Henninger Mike Gove a few others mdash who have called and wanted to discus their swingrdquo Mundle said ldquoNothing on a regular basis just one or two sessionsrdquo
is Hanson his next mdash and perhaps his last mdash prodigy
Thatrsquos a tricky question since Hanson came to golf late after a budding baseball career was derailed by a shoulder injury He was a first-team all-Big Nine Conference golf selection as a junior but has yet to qualify for state and his summer resume is thin because of his baseball background
Hansonrsquos original plan was to attend Walla Walla Community College and play golf for the Warriors with the hope of earning an NCAA Division i scholarship But he has since decided to enroll in Arizona State Universityrsquos Professional Golf Management program and try out for the ASU golf team as a walk on
ldquoMore than anything i think it came down to him evaluating his goalsrdquo said Jakersquos father Gary Hanson ldquoitrsquos everyonersquos dream to play on the PGA Tour but realistically he wants to be a golf pro and teach He loves
the gamerdquoAnd a degree in the PGM program
will provide Jake with the educational background he needs to be successful in any form of business his father added
Though his chances of making the ASU varsity team seem unlikely the PGM program provides a club golf team that participates in a series of tournaments throughout the year and gives Hanson a second playing option
And keeping your options open is optimum at this point Mundle said
ldquoi think his driving force at this time mdash and also his folks mdash is to get his education And then he can do whatever he wants if he doesnrsquot go into (the golfing business) immediately he will always have it as a backuprdquo
Sounds an awful lot like the advice Thomas Mundle offered his son back in the spring of 1952 when Al Mundle wanted to leave school after his sophomore year and test his wings on the PGA Tour And as we now know all these years later staying in school worked out pretty well for Al

T H E A T R EPOWER HOUSE
My director Terry Edward Moore told me his only direction from the artistic director was that it be ldquoperiodrdquo that is to say authentic to the time
ldquoMerry Wivesrdquo is the only one of Shakespearersquos plays that is set in his own time so it was decided to present it as if the actors were people of the time doing what would be a contemporary (to the late 16th century) play
i started to research the clothing of the time how it was constructed and what kinds of fabrics were available at the time mdash linens homespuns woolens for the common people and silks damasks velvets and furs for the upper classes i discovered that Elizabethan society was strictly regulated in terms of social classes and upward mobility was a little-known concept Once a yeoman always a yeoman i also discovered the set of rules and regulations called ldquosumptuary lawsrdquo which specifically dictated what types of fabrics trims furs and even what colors each class was allowed to wear
Since there are three distinct classes represented in ldquoMerry Wivesrdquo mdash merchant class soldiers and servants mdash i tried to give each class its own color palette based on these laws The overall palette of the show is based on colors actually in use at the time
The availability of dyes was limited (except for the nobility) so the palette consists of many shades of yellows and browns russets black some greens and blue-grays and of course wheat-colored unbleached linen i turned to the Dutch painter Brueghel for inspiration on how the common people looked and dressed
i also researched what kinds of dyes were used and where they came from Dyes were created from all sorts of different things such as walnut shell crushed beetles and all kinds of roots i found a website that sells these authentic dyestuffs so irsquom using the real thing to dye some of the linen pieces and will coordinate the contemporary fabrics to these authentic colors
Nearly every piece will need something done to it mdash altered in some way to fit the actor re-trimmed rigged invisibly for quick changes etc mdash so there is a lot of labor involved Also hats were a hugely important part of Elizabethan fashion all the way down to the poorest serf
Certain styles of hats were often associated with certain professions mdash eg doctors scholars mdash so there are a number of hats to build as well as headpieces for the women No self-respecting woman went about with her head uncovered
Putting together a show like this is like putting together a giant jigsaw puzzle and the pieces are the costumes that irsquove borrowed and rented from other theater companies in the Seattle area such as Seattle repertory Seattle Opera and the University of Washington as well as pieces from Oregon Shakespeare Festival i design the show and then go out into the world and try to find pieces that approximate my designs and palette as closely as possible (usually with some reworking first) The pieces that i cant find and dont want to compromise on i build from scratch

But thatrsquos exactly what longtime Walla Walla resident Larry Adams did for four years He was one of a select group of pilots for Marine One the helicopter counterpart of the presidential airplane Air Force One from 1970 to 1974

Long before Adams became the Walla Walla Airport manager he was transporting heads of state foreign dignitaries famous (and now infamous) Cabinet members the executive staff and President richard M Nixon during one of the nationrsquos most turbulent times the withdrawal from vietnam and the Watergate scandal
But to Adams a native of Northern idaho all that swirled around the Nixon presidency was the least of his concerns His job was to transport the president safely to Andrews Air Force Base or Camp David or fly any short flight required Safety always at a premium End of story
Many times Adams ferried President Nixon and his staff on short flights far away from home Air Force One might fly President Nixon to a summit or a meeting with a foreign head of state but Marine One and Adams were always nearby to shuttle the chief executive on short flights or to whisk him away from sudden danger
Pretty heady stuff for a fourth-grade teacher who had never thought about flying until a Marine recruiter offered him the opportunity Although Adams had watched planes take off and land at a nearby air base as a child he had never given serious thought to flying it was more a need for a bigger paycheck than passion that brought Adams to his destiny
He liked teaching but it just wasnrsquot paying the bills So Adams turned to the military and the Gi Bill After being unimpressed by other recruiters Adams took a liking to the fellow from the Marines for as Adams recalls the recruiter took an interest in him After about an hour of talking the recruiter suggested Adams might have the potential to be a pilot
Having easily passed some preliminary tests Adams was sent to flight school in Pensacola Fla and a stellar career was ready to take off He performed well in all the aircraft he piloted but he showed a special skill for helicopters
Up until 1965 fixed-wing airplanes were the staple of all military air combat But the military had been gearing up for a big change The helicopter was to become a major part of combat The Pentagon had been developing helicopters that would do much more than transport troops to bases Now they would assist in bombing
raids ground attacks and the evacuation of the injured from the point of combat This new breed of helicopters would also possess the ability to fight back and not be lame ducks as before the new H34 would tote machine guns on each side
These cutting-edge aircraft would travel at unprecedented speeds with newly discovered agility Gifted pilots were needed not those who merely possessed superior technical skills but those who also had the composure to fly straight into
enemy fire in the dead of night picking up injured soldiers or aiding air attacks
Adams was one of those pilots and he would be one of two squadron leaders for ldquoOperation Starliterdquo mdash the first major assault using helicopters The Marines were going straight into a North vietnamese regimental stronghold No one knew what to expect
ldquoWe lost a lot that first time inrdquo says Adams ldquoTwo crew chiefs were killed

people ltcontinued from pg 31
four pilots were medevaced out because of their wounds i donrsquot think there was one helicopter that didnrsquot have a bunch of holes in it The one i flew in we got a lot of rounds in it Amazingly no one was hurt but when we got back the helicopter was so shot-up you couldnrsquot fly it anymore We lost 50 percent of our helicopters that dayrdquo
in the next 13 months Adams would fly many more missions often heading straight into anti-aircraft fire to pick up injured or killed soldiers He says he would see the flares signifying where the copter was supposed to land but frequently hersquod have to veer off because ground communication would say ldquoThe artillery is too hotrdquo Then there would be a window maybe two minutes maybe five when the helicopter could drop in and pick up the injured often being shot at as it waited for its passengers
Adams knew the best way to survive was to keep his focus ldquoin the daylight when you start your run in and yoursquore getting shot at Everything went to black and white for me i didnrsquot notice the green trees or the green rice paddies until we got out of there and then it would come back
to me i donrsquot know what that was i just didnrsquot see the colors irsquove talked to some other pilots and they described the same thingrdquo
in his two tours of duty in vietnam Adams would fly 880 combat missions in several types of helicopters and fixed-wing airplanes He received numerous medals including two Navy commendations for performance under combat conditions
Then the call came to fly for the president Before Adams could tote the commander in chief around in Marine One a thorough background check had to be done So thorough was the check that Adams said a friend from his hometown sent him a card that read ldquoAre you in some kind of trouble Jesus therersquos been a bunch of people around here with the dark grey suits and the skinny little ties Theyrsquore asking all these embarrassing questions about you like did you have drinking problem Did you have a gambling problem Do you know what Larryrsquos sexual preference wasrdquo
Adams chuckles ldquoit was pretty funnyrdquoAdams passed the grade and soon
he was flying President Nixon and his family to Camp David or picking up vice
President Spiro Agnew at the Pentagon or taking Secretary of State Henry kissinger or Secretary of Defense Alexander Haig to a classified meeting Although his flights varied from transporting foreign heads of state to flying members of the press the majority involved the president the vice president kissinger and Haig
The pilots did not speak to their travelers unless spoken to says Adams President Nixon usually looked in and asked them how they were kissinger never spoke Haig was good for a pat on the shoulder now and then but it was Agnew who conversed the most says Adams
Adams remembers ldquoOne time we picked him up at the Pentagon and we had taken off and had hit top altitude He usually would come up and look into the cockpit but this time he patted me on the shoulder and asked lsquoWell howrsquos it going today guysrsquordquo Adams replied ldquoNot bad sir and how about yourselfrdquo
Agnew answered ldquoMan they are really after my assrdquo He was talking about the press Adams says ldquoTwo weeks later he resignedrdquo
Adams recalls that his encounters with Agnew as defying the public perception
Adams far right gives instructions before a mission in Vietnam
Walla Walla LifestyLes 33
that Agnew was arrogant ldquoHe was always one of the nicest guys He was straightforward He looked like he had just stepped off the cover of Gentlemenrsquos Quarterly all the time He was very proper in the way he dressed but he had a sense of humor as wellrdquo
There were other humorous moments Adams recalls a certain reporter from CBS who had been a major thorn in President Nixonrsquos side was late for takeoff from the South Lawn of the White House one morning Just as Marine One was about to leave without him he came running across the lawn hollering and waving his arms The Secret Service agent supervising the flight told Adams to ldquojust gordquo The wind from the propellers whipped the reporterrsquos toupee right off his head and instead of continuing his run toward Marine One he reversed his field and tried feverishly to retrieve his toupee snagged in the hedges
ldquoEveryone got a pretty good chuckle out of thatrdquo
Of course there were somber times At one point Adams flew Cabinet members John Ehrlichman and Hr Haldeman to Camp David for a meeting with the president After only 15 minutes the two men returned and Marine One headed home Adams says it was a quiet flight He found out later the two men had been fired by President Nixon for their parts in the Watergate scandal
Whisking the president away from danger was a major part of being a pilot of Marine One Stationed across the river from the Capitol pilots awakened by an emergency alert had to be up in the air in five minutes This exercise was practiced often though never needed during Adamsrsquo tenure
One night however they thought it was The operator at the White House mistakenly hit the ldquoAlertrdquo button Marine One was in the air in five minutes
Although ground control had not spotted any enemy aircraft the operation was under way As Marine One closed in on the White House the operator at fault tried to alert everyone of his mistake but unfortunately used a poor choice of words to call off the operation
Adams chuckles as he says ldquoThe fella said lsquoThis is not an exercisersquo He was moved to another post i thinkrdquo
All levity aside the position required
the same kind of focus demanded of Adams in vietnam though it came in a different form
ldquoThere were three things the way you operated the aircraft and they were in this order safety comfort and speed Safety never gave in to comfort or speedrdquo says Adams ldquoOur job was just concentrating on doing our job it could have been anybody mdash we would do it the same way it could have been Fred Flintstone
ldquoThe difference between flying for the White House and in vietnam was we were flying a premier aircraft We had to keep it impeccably clean everything was scripted We had to have the lsquoopen-the-door timersquo down to two to four seconds in vietnam it was the stress of performing medevacs under fire or dropping troops under heavy artillery For Marine One it was the stress of doing the job rightrdquo
Also the stress of being away from onersquos family 200 days of the year wore on a Marine One pilot in 1974 after four years on the job the toll became too much and Adams stepped down
He would stay with the Marines for eight more years retiring in August 1982
By then he had received 44 Air Medals including the Joint Service Commendation and the Presidential Service Badge in his 20 years of service Adams flew seven different helicopters and five different fixed-wing planes
What makes an elite military pilot ldquoPilots who donrsquot have any misgivingsrdquo says Adams ldquoTheyrsquore totally prepared they know their aircraftrdquo
When talking about his colleagues on Marine One he adds ldquoNone were boasters They might brag about a great landing but they did not brag in spite of someone elserdquo
What did Adams love most about his flying days ldquoi enjoyed flying with the latest technology and the pristine quality of Marine One i loved the process of building my skills i could have flown another 40 years and i would still be learning thingsrdquo
is it any surprise his favorite hobby now is fly fishing

it is astonishing in many ways mdash that we are presented with two weeks of top-drawer music performed by top-drawer musi-cians that there are so many ways to encounter the music (many of them free) and that a rural community has provided the incu-
bator for such a cultural undertaking to name but a fewGranted we are not your average rural community having two
colleges a university a symphony a choral society a community band and music in the schools but letrsquos face it wersquore not exactly a cosmopolitan center of culture like New york either The Cham-ber Music Festival mdash and our continued support of it through some tough times mdash puts us in a category all our own

worked hard to start this event and to my great joy it has taken on an iden-tity of its own i hire the musicians and choose the music but the town its people and its environs make the festivalrdquo
The beauty of chamber music is its intimacy mdash smaller ensembles performing for smaller audiences it has been referred to as ldquothe music of friendsrdquo which seems so apt at this festival Free open rehearsals are held around town that provide not only a musical atmosphere in which to enjoy a latte or the ambiance of the kirkman House but which give a richer look into the machinations of a working ensemble
As one enthusiastic fan puts it ldquoi am not a musician and itrsquos fascinat-ing to watch these rehearsals to see the interactions of the musicians as they work out the snags make wry remarks and relate to each other in a whole different way than during a for-mal performance i get a glimpse into their personalities and what makes them tickrdquo
The festival supplies a generous of-fering of venues with free concerts for children and families relaxed evening programs at wineries and full concerts at the Foundry Chism Hall and Day-tonrsquos Liberty Theater
if you are lucky enough to live near the musiciansrsquo lodgings while they are in town you may also be treated to an ad hoc front-porch concert as the ensembles continue their rehearsals in more private settings The festival is about all of these ways mdash planned and accidental mdash to experience the enchantment of chamber music
it is also about historic continuity and the connection between past and present mdash relishing the existing canon while expanding the genre with con-temporary forms and voices
How is this accomplished in part by the annual commission of a new piece of music for the festival Chris-tie is committed to contributing to the broader chamber music repertoire and to providing the audience with the richest possible experience

ldquoFor classical music to be relevant there must be a conversation between the music of our time and the music of the pastrdquo he says
By commissioning a work for the festi-val each year Christie creates such a con-versation
This year the commission was given to John David Earnest Four festival commis-sions have preceded his and he is the sec-ond ldquolocalrdquo composer to be tapped add-ing another layer of relationship between community and event (in 2009 Whitman College professor David Glenn was given the nod)
As visiting adjunct professor of music at Whitman Earnest resides here for six weeks every semester His ldquoSecond Sym-phonyrdquo was written for and performed by the Walla Walla Symphony in October 2001
The challenge for the yearly commis-sionee is to compose a piece on demand within specific constraints of time place and instrumentation while expressing hisher own voice as an artist
Earnest has created ldquoCommedia Gal-leryrdquo a set of three movements for flute
viola and harp based on stock characters from the Commedia dellrsquoArte a popu-lar theatrical form that was influential in Europe for over 300 years Commedia characters improvised dialogue around set scenarios generally involving the struggles of young lovers to overcome hindrances to their romance and each character even-tually came to have a consistent set of at-tributes in speech mannerisms and cos-tume
Earnestrsquos ldquoGalleryrdquo gives us Arlecchi-no (Harlequin) an acrobatic and devious jester Pierrot the classic sad clown and finally Scaramouche a dandy and a brag-gart who is a coward at heart
in anticipation of this yearrsquos festival i am reminded of the scene in ldquoThe Music Manrdquo in which the town awaits the ar-rival of the Wells Fargo Wagon Potentially heaped with gifts and surprises it prom-ises connection to the larger world The WWCMF brings us all ldquosomethinrsquo specialrdquo mdash an enrichment of our community and our culture

Smith has gardened for years at his home at 38 Mulberry Court in College Place He used to grow vegetables and flowers now he is strictly focusing on flowers mdash with fabulous results roses delphiniums and lots of irises line the fence
ldquoirises mdash irsquove always enjoyed themrdquo he says ldquoThey take a little bit of weeding and watering but not much morerdquo itrsquos the gardenerrsquos dream mdash low maintenance with a big return
A retired orthopedic surgeon Smith has in the past gardened more extensively than he does now But he has enough plants to keep him busy His new project is planting more of the reblooming iris These are still hardy but you get twice the reward they bloom in the spring then again in the fall
ldquoTheyrsquore easy to grow and spectacular for a short time iris take less care than a lot of thingsrdquo Smith says
His secret for gardening is simple and therersquos no getting around it ldquoTime and workrdquo he laughs
Hersquos getting ready to start in the garden ldquoi need to clean out the leaves and the old foliage of the irisrdquo
in addition to the basic cleaning and maintenance Smith just decides how many plants to keep Bulb flowers are hardy and they multiply on their own
ldquoAfter five years you usually have to separate the bulbs when they get too thick i donrsquot have room to add more i put in the new re-blooming onesrdquo he explains ldquoi may add more and a few other thingsrdquo
But in a garden you can always try something new or rearrange existing plants often with a spectacular outcome

itrsquos an odd location since it can only be seen as yoursquore leaving town but it always makes me smile This valley my adopted home is indeed a great place to be
i recently finished reading the great Western writer Wallace Stegnerrsquos book ldquoThe Sound of Mountain Waterrdquo One of his essays traces his nomadic childhood which left him feeling rootless and without a place that he felt he could call home
i identify with his feeling of not belonging i was born to a single woman from Massachusetts in a New york City hospital i stayed a scant few days before being placed with an adoption agency Born in a place i had no familial connection to i was immediately deprived of my biological family Most of my childhood was spent in suburban Cleveland Ohio Moves to upstate New york New England and Pennsylvania brought me no closer to calling any place home i loved living in the western Massachusetts town of Stockbridge but the multigenerational denizens of the town left few openings for newcomers like me i lived in central Pennsylvania for several decades but felt detached from the deep roots that most people had in the area
When we came west (for my husband a homecoming to his Oregon roots for me a new experience) i noticed that even in long-established towns like Walla Walla there is ample room for newcomers who want to be
part of the community And most folks who choose to come here donrsquot seem to want to change the valley they prefer to embrace it
While the occasional newbie whines about the lack of Whole Foods or Nordstrom they soon discover our farmers markets the wide variety of local shops and boutiques and our world-class restaurants They fall in love with our charming downtowns the small-town friendliness of the people and our kid-friendly environment Then therersquos the holiday parade the fair the ever-present Blue Mountains the parks the museums the wineries mdash really whatrsquos not to like The communities of our valley represent America at its best
irsquom a newspaper junkie i love to read everything from news to sports to classifieds mdash even the obituaries The obits are a fascinating window on our valley Many of the people chronicled were born here some lived all their lives here inextricably bound to this place But a number of people came here from other places often far away and have made a mark on our area Which makes me wonder mdash is a place any less of a hometown because you choose it or is it based primarily on the happenstance of your birth it seems that therersquos room for both paths to calling this wonderful valley home
itrsquos also our strength because collectively as a community we bring both deep familial and cultural traditions as well as the fresh perspective of newcomers to our area irsquom glad mdash after decades of searching mdash that i finally found my hometown a place that feels just right

T H E A T R EPOWER HOUSE
My director Terry Edward Moore told me his only direction from the artistic director was that it be ldquoperiodrdquo that is to say authentic to the time
ldquoMerry Wivesrdquo is the only one of Shakespearersquos plays that is set in his own time so it was decided to present it as if the actors were people of the time doing what would be a contemporary (to the late 16th century) play
i started to research the clothing of the time how it was constructed and what kinds of fabrics were available at the time mdash linens homespuns woolens for the common people and silks damasks velvets and furs for the upper classes i discovered that Elizabethan society was strictly regulated in terms of social classes and upward mobility was a little-known concept Once a yeoman always a yeoman i also discovered the set of rules and regulations called ldquosumptuary lawsrdquo which specifically dictated what types of fabrics trims furs and even what colors each class was allowed to wear
Since there are three distinct classes represented in ldquoMerry Wivesrdquo mdash merchant class soldiers and servants mdash i tried to give each class its own color palette based on these laws The overall palette of the show is based on colors actually in use at the time
The availability of dyes was limited (except for the nobility) so the palette consists of many shades of yellows and browns russets black some greens and blue-grays and of course wheat-colored unbleached linen i turned to the Dutch painter Brueghel for inspiration on how the common people looked and dressed
i also researched what kinds of dyes were used and where they came from Dyes were created from all sorts of different things such as walnut shell crushed beetles and all kinds of roots i found a website that sells these authentic dyestuffs so irsquom using the real thing to dye some of the linen pieces and will coordinate the contemporary fabrics to these authentic colors
Nearly every piece will need something done to it mdash altered in some way to fit the actor re-trimmed rigged invisibly for quick changes etc mdash so there is a lot of labor involved Also hats were a hugely important part of Elizabethan fashion all the way down to the poorest serf
Certain styles of hats were often associated with certain professions mdash eg doctors scholars mdash so there are a number of hats to build as well as headpieces for the women No self-respecting woman went about with her head uncovered
Putting together a show like this is like putting together a giant jigsaw puzzle and the pieces are the costumes that irsquove borrowed and rented from other theater companies in the Seattle area such as Seattle repertory Seattle Opera and the University of Washington as well as pieces from Oregon Shakespeare Festival i design the show and then go out into the world and try to find pieces that approximate my designs and palette as closely as possible (usually with some reworking first) The pieces that i cant find and dont want to compromise on i build from scratch

But thatrsquos exactly what longtime Walla Walla resident Larry Adams did for four years He was one of a select group of pilots for Marine One the helicopter counterpart of the presidential airplane Air Force One from 1970 to 1974

Long before Adams became the Walla Walla Airport manager he was transporting heads of state foreign dignitaries famous (and now infamous) Cabinet members the executive staff and President richard M Nixon during one of the nationrsquos most turbulent times the withdrawal from vietnam and the Watergate scandal
But to Adams a native of Northern idaho all that swirled around the Nixon presidency was the least of his concerns His job was to transport the president safely to Andrews Air Force Base or Camp David or fly any short flight required Safety always at a premium End of story
Many times Adams ferried President Nixon and his staff on short flights far away from home Air Force One might fly President Nixon to a summit or a meeting with a foreign head of state but Marine One and Adams were always nearby to shuttle the chief executive on short flights or to whisk him away from sudden danger
Pretty heady stuff for a fourth-grade teacher who had never thought about flying until a Marine recruiter offered him the opportunity Although Adams had watched planes take off and land at a nearby air base as a child he had never given serious thought to flying it was more a need for a bigger paycheck than passion that brought Adams to his destiny
He liked teaching but it just wasnrsquot paying the bills So Adams turned to the military and the Gi Bill After being unimpressed by other recruiters Adams took a liking to the fellow from the Marines for as Adams recalls the recruiter took an interest in him After about an hour of talking the recruiter suggested Adams might have the potential to be a pilot
Having easily passed some preliminary tests Adams was sent to flight school in Pensacola Fla and a stellar career was ready to take off He performed well in all the aircraft he piloted but he showed a special skill for helicopters
Up until 1965 fixed-wing airplanes were the staple of all military air combat But the military had been gearing up for a big change The helicopter was to become a major part of combat The Pentagon had been developing helicopters that would do much more than transport troops to bases Now they would assist in bombing
raids ground attacks and the evacuation of the injured from the point of combat This new breed of helicopters would also possess the ability to fight back and not be lame ducks as before the new H34 would tote machine guns on each side
These cutting-edge aircraft would travel at unprecedented speeds with newly discovered agility Gifted pilots were needed not those who merely possessed superior technical skills but those who also had the composure to fly straight into
enemy fire in the dead of night picking up injured soldiers or aiding air attacks
Adams was one of those pilots and he would be one of two squadron leaders for ldquoOperation Starliterdquo mdash the first major assault using helicopters The Marines were going straight into a North vietnamese regimental stronghold No one knew what to expect
ldquoWe lost a lot that first time inrdquo says Adams ldquoTwo crew chiefs were killed
Continued on pg 32 gt
In this newspaper clipping Larry Adams poses on the steps of the helicopter dubbed Marine One which he piloted for President Richard M Nixon

people ltcontinued from pg 31
four pilots were medevaced out because of their wounds i donrsquot think there was one helicopter that didnrsquot have a bunch of holes in it The one i flew in we got a lot of rounds in it Amazingly no one was hurt but when we got back the helicopter was so shot-up you couldnrsquot fly it anymore We lost 50 percent of our helicopters that dayrdquo
in the next 13 months Adams would fly many more missions often heading straight into anti-aircraft fire to pick up injured or killed soldiers He says he would see the flares signifying where the copter was supposed to land but frequently hersquod have to veer off because ground communication would say ldquoThe artillery is too hotrdquo Then there would be a window maybe two minutes maybe five when the helicopter could drop in and pick up the injured often being shot at as it waited for its passengers
Adams knew the best way to survive was to keep his focus ldquoin the daylight when you start your run in and yoursquore getting shot at Everything went to black and white for me i didnrsquot notice the green trees or the green rice paddies until we got out of there and then it would come back
to me i donrsquot know what that was i just didnrsquot see the colors irsquove talked to some other pilots and they described the same thingrdquo
in his two tours of duty in vietnam Adams would fly 880 combat missions in several types of helicopters and fixed-wing airplanes He received numerous medals including two Navy commendations for performance under combat conditions
Then the call came to fly for the president Before Adams could tote the commander in chief around in Marine One a thorough background check had to be done So thorough was the check that Adams said a friend from his hometown sent him a card that read ldquoAre you in some kind of trouble Jesus therersquos been a bunch of people around here with the dark grey suits and the skinny little ties Theyrsquore asking all these embarrassing questions about you like did you have drinking problem Did you have a gambling problem Do you know what Larryrsquos sexual preference wasrdquo
Adams chuckles ldquoit was pretty funnyrdquoAdams passed the grade and soon
he was flying President Nixon and his family to Camp David or picking up vice
President Spiro Agnew at the Pentagon or taking Secretary of State Henry kissinger or Secretary of Defense Alexander Haig to a classified meeting Although his flights varied from transporting foreign heads of state to flying members of the press the majority involved the president the vice president kissinger and Haig
The pilots did not speak to their travelers unless spoken to says Adams President Nixon usually looked in and asked them how they were kissinger never spoke Haig was good for a pat on the shoulder now and then but it was Agnew who conversed the most says Adams
Adams remembers ldquoOne time we picked him up at the Pentagon and we had taken off and had hit top altitude He usually would come up and look into the cockpit but this time he patted me on the shoulder and asked lsquoWell howrsquos it going today guysrsquordquo Adams replied ldquoNot bad sir and how about yourselfrdquo
Agnew answered ldquoMan they are really after my assrdquo He was talking about the press Adams says ldquoTwo weeks later he resignedrdquo
Adams recalls that his encounters with Agnew as defying the public perception
Adams far right gives instructions before a mission in Vietnam
Walla Walla LifestyLes 33
that Agnew was arrogant ldquoHe was always one of the nicest guys He was straightforward He looked like he had just stepped off the cover of Gentlemenrsquos Quarterly all the time He was very proper in the way he dressed but he had a sense of humor as wellrdquo
There were other humorous moments Adams recalls a certain reporter from CBS who had been a major thorn in President Nixonrsquos side was late for takeoff from the South Lawn of the White House one morning Just as Marine One was about to leave without him he came running across the lawn hollering and waving his arms The Secret Service agent supervising the flight told Adams to ldquojust gordquo The wind from the propellers whipped the reporterrsquos toupee right off his head and instead of continuing his run toward Marine One he reversed his field and tried feverishly to retrieve his toupee snagged in the hedges
ldquoEveryone got a pretty good chuckle out of thatrdquo
Of course there were somber times At one point Adams flew Cabinet members John Ehrlichman and Hr Haldeman to Camp David for a meeting with the president After only 15 minutes the two men returned and Marine One headed home Adams says it was a quiet flight He found out later the two men had been fired by President Nixon for their parts in the Watergate scandal
Whisking the president away from danger was a major part of being a pilot of Marine One Stationed across the river from the Capitol pilots awakened by an emergency alert had to be up in the air in five minutes This exercise was practiced often though never needed during Adamsrsquo tenure
One night however they thought it was The operator at the White House mistakenly hit the ldquoAlertrdquo button Marine One was in the air in five minutes
Although ground control had not spotted any enemy aircraft the operation was under way As Marine One closed in on the White House the operator at fault tried to alert everyone of his mistake but unfortunately used a poor choice of words to call off the operation
Adams chuckles as he says ldquoThe fella said lsquoThis is not an exercisersquo He was moved to another post i thinkrdquo
All levity aside the position required
the same kind of focus demanded of Adams in vietnam though it came in a different form
ldquoThere were three things the way you operated the aircraft and they were in this order safety comfort and speed Safety never gave in to comfort or speedrdquo says Adams ldquoOur job was just concentrating on doing our job it could have been anybody mdash we would do it the same way it could have been Fred Flintstone
ldquoThe difference between flying for the White House and in vietnam was we were flying a premier aircraft We had to keep it impeccably clean everything was scripted We had to have the lsquoopen-the-door timersquo down to two to four seconds in vietnam it was the stress of performing medevacs under fire or dropping troops under heavy artillery For Marine One it was the stress of doing the job rightrdquo
Also the stress of being away from onersquos family 200 days of the year wore on a Marine One pilot in 1974 after four years on the job the toll became too much and Adams stepped down
He would stay with the Marines for eight more years retiring in August 1982
By then he had received 44 Air Medals including the Joint Service Commendation and the Presidential Service Badge in his 20 years of service Adams flew seven different helicopters and five different fixed-wing planes
What makes an elite military pilot ldquoPilots who donrsquot have any misgivingsrdquo says Adams ldquoTheyrsquore totally prepared they know their aircraftrdquo
When talking about his colleagues on Marine One he adds ldquoNone were boasters They might brag about a great landing but they did not brag in spite of someone elserdquo
What did Adams love most about his flying days ldquoi enjoyed flying with the latest technology and the pristine quality of Marine One i loved the process of building my skills i could have flown another 40 years and i would still be learning thingsrdquo
is it any surprise his favorite hobby now is fly fishing

it is astonishing in many ways mdash that we are presented with two weeks of top-drawer music performed by top-drawer musi-cians that there are so many ways to encounter the music (many of them free) and that a rural community has provided the incu-
bator for such a cultural undertaking to name but a fewGranted we are not your average rural community having two
colleges a university a symphony a choral society a community band and music in the schools but letrsquos face it wersquore not exactly a cosmopolitan center of culture like New york either The Cham-ber Music Festival mdash and our continued support of it through some tough times mdash puts us in a category all our own
ldquoi saw what was special about this community the first time i visited in 2007rdquo Artistic Director Timothy Christie says ldquoi have

worked hard to start this event and to my great joy it has taken on an iden-tity of its own i hire the musicians and choose the music but the town its people and its environs make the festivalrdquo
The beauty of chamber music is its intimacy mdash smaller ensembles performing for smaller audiences it has been referred to as ldquothe music of friendsrdquo which seems so apt at this festival Free open rehearsals are held around town that provide not only a musical atmosphere in which to enjoy a latte or the ambiance of the kirkman House but which give a richer look into the machinations of a working ensemble
As one enthusiastic fan puts it ldquoi am not a musician and itrsquos fascinat-ing to watch these rehearsals to see the interactions of the musicians as they work out the snags make wry remarks and relate to each other in a whole different way than during a for-mal performance i get a glimpse into their personalities and what makes them tickrdquo
The festival supplies a generous of-fering of venues with free concerts for children and families relaxed evening programs at wineries and full concerts at the Foundry Chism Hall and Day-tonrsquos Liberty Theater
if you are lucky enough to live near the musiciansrsquo lodgings while they are in town you may also be treated to an ad hoc front-porch concert as the ensembles continue their rehearsals in more private settings The festival is about all of these ways mdash planned and accidental mdash to experience the enchantment of chamber music
it is also about historic continuity and the connection between past and present mdash relishing the existing canon while expanding the genre with con-temporary forms and voices
How is this accomplished in part by the annual commission of a new piece of music for the festival Chris-tie is committed to contributing to the broader chamber music repertoire and to providing the audience with the richest possible experience

ldquoFor classical music to be relevant there must be a conversation between the music of our time and the music of the pastrdquo he says
By commissioning a work for the festi-val each year Christie creates such a con-versation
This year the commission was given to John David Earnest Four festival commis-sions have preceded his and he is the sec-ond ldquolocalrdquo composer to be tapped add-ing another layer of relationship between community and event (in 2009 Whitman College professor David Glenn was given the nod)
As visiting adjunct professor of music at Whitman Earnest resides here for six weeks every semester His ldquoSecond Sym-phonyrdquo was written for and performed by the Walla Walla Symphony in October 2001
The challenge for the yearly commis-sionee is to compose a piece on demand within specific constraints of time place and instrumentation while expressing hisher own voice as an artist
Earnest has created ldquoCommedia Gal-leryrdquo a set of three movements for flute
viola and harp based on stock characters from the Commedia dellrsquoArte a popu-lar theatrical form that was influential in Europe for over 300 years Commedia characters improvised dialogue around set scenarios generally involving the struggles of young lovers to overcome hindrances to their romance and each character even-tually came to have a consistent set of at-tributes in speech mannerisms and cos-tume
Earnestrsquos ldquoGalleryrdquo gives us Arlecchi-no (Harlequin) an acrobatic and devious jester Pierrot the classic sad clown and finally Scaramouche a dandy and a brag-gart who is a coward at heart
in anticipation of this yearrsquos festival i am reminded of the scene in ldquoThe Music Manrdquo in which the town awaits the ar-rival of the Wells Fargo Wagon Potentially heaped with gifts and surprises it prom-ises connection to the larger world The WWCMF brings us all ldquosomethinrsquo specialrdquo mdash an enrichment of our community and our culture

Smith has gardened for years at his home at 38 Mulberry Court in College Place He used to grow vegetables and flowers now he is strictly focusing on flowers mdash with fabulous results roses delphiniums and lots of irises line the fence
ldquoirises mdash irsquove always enjoyed themrdquo he says ldquoThey take a little bit of weeding and watering but not much morerdquo itrsquos the gardenerrsquos dream mdash low maintenance with a big return
A retired orthopedic surgeon Smith has in the past gardened more extensively than he does now But he has enough plants to keep him busy His new project is planting more of the reblooming iris These are still hardy but you get twice the reward they bloom in the spring then again in the fall
ldquoTheyrsquore easy to grow and spectacular for a short time iris take less care than a lot of thingsrdquo Smith says
His secret for gardening is simple and therersquos no getting around it ldquoTime and workrdquo he laughs
Hersquos getting ready to start in the garden ldquoi need to clean out the leaves and the old foliage of the irisrdquo
in addition to the basic cleaning and maintenance Smith just decides how many plants to keep Bulb flowers are hardy and they multiply on their own
ldquoAfter five years you usually have to separate the bulbs when they get too thick i donrsquot have room to add more i put in the new re-blooming onesrdquo he explains ldquoi may add more and a few other thingsrdquo
But in a garden you can always try something new or rearrange existing plants often with a spectacular outcome

itrsquos an odd location since it can only be seen as yoursquore leaving town but it always makes me smile This valley my adopted home is indeed a great place to be
i recently finished reading the great Western writer Wallace Stegnerrsquos book ldquoThe Sound of Mountain Waterrdquo One of his essays traces his nomadic childhood which left him feeling rootless and without a place that he felt he could call home
i identify with his feeling of not belonging i was born to a single woman from Massachusetts in a New york City hospital i stayed a scant few days before being placed with an adoption agency Born in a place i had no familial connection to i was immediately deprived of my biological family Most of my childhood was spent in suburban Cleveland Ohio Moves to upstate New york New England and Pennsylvania brought me no closer to calling any place home i loved living in the western Massachusetts town of Stockbridge but the multigenerational denizens of the town left few openings for newcomers like me i lived in central Pennsylvania for several decades but felt detached from the deep roots that most people had in the area
When we came west (for my husband a homecoming to his Oregon roots for me a new experience) i noticed that even in long-established towns like Walla Walla there is ample room for newcomers who want to be
part of the community And most folks who choose to come here donrsquot seem to want to change the valley they prefer to embrace it
While the occasional newbie whines about the lack of Whole Foods or Nordstrom they soon discover our farmers markets the wide variety of local shops and boutiques and our world-class restaurants They fall in love with our charming downtowns the small-town friendliness of the people and our kid-friendly environment Then therersquos the holiday parade the fair the ever-present Blue Mountains the parks the museums the wineries mdash really whatrsquos not to like The communities of our valley represent America at its best
irsquom a newspaper junkie i love to read everything from news to sports to classifieds mdash even the obituaries The obits are a fascinating window on our valley Many of the people chronicled were born here some lived all their lives here inextricably bound to this place But a number of people came here from other places often far away and have made a mark on our area Which makes me wonder mdash is a place any less of a hometown because you choose it or is it based primarily on the happenstance of your birth it seems that therersquos room for both paths to calling this wonderful valley home
itrsquos also our strength because collectively as a community we bring both deep familial and cultural traditions as well as the fresh perspective of newcomers to our area irsquom glad mdash after decades of searching mdash that i finally found my hometown a place that feels just right

T H E A T R EPOWER HOUSE
My director Terry Edward Moore told me his only direction from the artistic director was that it be ldquoperiodrdquo that is to say authentic to the time
ldquoMerry Wivesrdquo is the only one of Shakespearersquos plays that is set in his own time so it was decided to present it as if the actors were people of the time doing what would be a contemporary (to the late 16th century) play
i started to research the clothing of the time how it was constructed and what kinds of fabrics were available at the time mdash linens homespuns woolens for the common people and silks damasks velvets and furs for the upper classes i discovered that Elizabethan society was strictly regulated in terms of social classes and upward mobility was a little-known concept Once a yeoman always a yeoman i also discovered the set of rules and regulations called ldquosumptuary lawsrdquo which specifically dictated what types of fabrics trims furs and even what colors each class was allowed to wear
Since there are three distinct classes represented in ldquoMerry Wivesrdquo mdash merchant class soldiers and servants mdash i tried to give each class its own color palette based on these laws The overall palette of the show is based on colors actually in use at the time
The availability of dyes was limited (except for the nobility) so the palette consists of many shades of yellows and browns russets black some greens and blue-grays and of course wheat-colored unbleached linen i turned to the Dutch painter Brueghel for inspiration on how the common people looked and dressed
i also researched what kinds of dyes were used and where they came from Dyes were created from all sorts of different things such as walnut shell crushed beetles and all kinds of roots i found a website that sells these authentic dyestuffs so irsquom using the real thing to dye some of the linen pieces and will coordinate the contemporary fabrics to these authentic colors
Nearly every piece will need something done to it mdash altered in some way to fit the actor re-trimmed rigged invisibly for quick changes etc mdash so there is a lot of labor involved Also hats were a hugely important part of Elizabethan fashion all the way down to the poorest serf
Certain styles of hats were often associated with certain professions mdash eg doctors scholars mdash so there are a number of hats to build as well as headpieces for the women No self-respecting woman went about with her head uncovered
Putting together a show like this is like putting together a giant jigsaw puzzle and the pieces are the costumes that irsquove borrowed and rented from other theater companies in the Seattle area such as Seattle repertory Seattle Opera and the University of Washington as well as pieces from Oregon Shakespeare Festival i design the show and then go out into the world and try to find pieces that approximate my designs and palette as closely as possible (usually with some reworking first) The pieces that i cant find and dont want to compromise on i build from scratch

But thatrsquos exactly what longtime Walla Walla resident Larry Adams did for four years He was one of a select group of pilots for Marine One the helicopter counterpart of the presidential airplane Air Force One from 1970 to 1974

Long before Adams became the Walla Walla Airport manager he was transporting heads of state foreign dignitaries famous (and now infamous) Cabinet members the executive staff and President richard M Nixon during one of the nationrsquos most turbulent times the withdrawal from vietnam and the Watergate scandal
But to Adams a native of Northern idaho all that swirled around the Nixon presidency was the least of his concerns His job was to transport the president safely to Andrews Air Force Base or Camp David or fly any short flight required Safety always at a premium End of story
Many times Adams ferried President Nixon and his staff on short flights far away from home Air Force One might fly President Nixon to a summit or a meeting with a foreign head of state but Marine One and Adams were always nearby to shuttle the chief executive on short flights or to whisk him away from sudden danger
Pretty heady stuff for a fourth-grade teacher who had never thought about flying until a Marine recruiter offered him the opportunity Although Adams had watched planes take off and land at a nearby air base as a child he had never given serious thought to flying it was more a need for a bigger paycheck than passion that brought Adams to his destiny
He liked teaching but it just wasnrsquot paying the bills So Adams turned to the military and the Gi Bill After being unimpressed by other recruiters Adams took a liking to the fellow from the Marines for as Adams recalls the recruiter took an interest in him After about an hour of talking the recruiter suggested Adams might have the potential to be a pilot
Having easily passed some preliminary tests Adams was sent to flight school in Pensacola Fla and a stellar career was ready to take off He performed well in all the aircraft he piloted but he showed a special skill for helicopters
Up until 1965 fixed-wing airplanes were the staple of all military air combat But the military had been gearing up for a big change The helicopter was to become a major part of combat The Pentagon had been developing helicopters that would do much more than transport troops to bases Now they would assist in bombing
raids ground attacks and the evacuation of the injured from the point of combat This new breed of helicopters would also possess the ability to fight back and not be lame ducks as before the new H34 would tote machine guns on each side
These cutting-edge aircraft would travel at unprecedented speeds with newly discovered agility Gifted pilots were needed not those who merely possessed superior technical skills but those who also had the composure to fly straight into
enemy fire in the dead of night picking up injured soldiers or aiding air attacks
Adams was one of those pilots and he would be one of two squadron leaders for ldquoOperation Starliterdquo mdash the first major assault using helicopters The Marines were going straight into a North vietnamese regimental stronghold No one knew what to expect
ldquoWe lost a lot that first time inrdquo says Adams ldquoTwo crew chiefs were killed

people ltcontinued from pg 31
four pilots were medevaced out because of their wounds i donrsquot think there was one helicopter that didnrsquot have a bunch of holes in it The one i flew in we got a lot of rounds in it Amazingly no one was hurt but when we got back the helicopter was so shot-up you couldnrsquot fly it anymore We lost 50 percent of our helicopters that dayrdquo
in the next 13 months Adams would fly many more missions often heading straight into anti-aircraft fire to pick up injured or killed soldiers He says he would see the flares signifying where the copter was supposed to land but frequently hersquod have to veer off because ground communication would say ldquoThe artillery is too hotrdquo Then there would be a window maybe two minutes maybe five when the helicopter could drop in and pick up the injured often being shot at as it waited for its passengers
Adams knew the best way to survive was to keep his focus ldquoin the daylight when you start your run in and yoursquore getting shot at Everything went to black and white for me i didnrsquot notice the green trees or the green rice paddies until we got out of there and then it would come back
to me i donrsquot know what that was i just didnrsquot see the colors irsquove talked to some other pilots and they described the same thingrdquo
in his two tours of duty in vietnam Adams would fly 880 combat missions in several types of helicopters and fixed-wing airplanes He received numerous medals including two Navy commendations for performance under combat conditions
Then the call came to fly for the president Before Adams could tote the commander in chief around in Marine One a thorough background check had to be done So thorough was the check that Adams said a friend from his hometown sent him a card that read ldquoAre you in some kind of trouble Jesus therersquos been a bunch of people around here with the dark grey suits and the skinny little ties Theyrsquore asking all these embarrassing questions about you like did you have drinking problem Did you have a gambling problem Do you know what Larryrsquos sexual preference wasrdquo
Adams chuckles ldquoit was pretty funnyrdquoAdams passed the grade and soon
he was flying President Nixon and his family to Camp David or picking up vice
President Spiro Agnew at the Pentagon or taking Secretary of State Henry kissinger or Secretary of Defense Alexander Haig to a classified meeting Although his flights varied from transporting foreign heads of state to flying members of the press the majority involved the president the vice president kissinger and Haig
The pilots did not speak to their travelers unless spoken to says Adams President Nixon usually looked in and asked them how they were kissinger never spoke Haig was good for a pat on the shoulder now and then but it was Agnew who conversed the most says Adams
Adams remembers ldquoOne time we picked him up at the Pentagon and we had taken off and had hit top altitude He usually would come up and look into the cockpit but this time he patted me on the shoulder and asked lsquoWell howrsquos it going today guysrsquordquo Adams replied ldquoNot bad sir and how about yourselfrdquo
Agnew answered ldquoMan they are really after my assrdquo He was talking about the press Adams says ldquoTwo weeks later he resignedrdquo
Adams recalls that his encounters with Agnew as defying the public perception
Adams far right gives instructions before a mission in Vietnam
Walla Walla LifestyLes 33
that Agnew was arrogant ldquoHe was always one of the nicest guys He was straightforward He looked like he had just stepped off the cover of Gentlemenrsquos Quarterly all the time He was very proper in the way he dressed but he had a sense of humor as wellrdquo
There were other humorous moments Adams recalls a certain reporter from CBS who had been a major thorn in President Nixonrsquos side was late for takeoff from the South Lawn of the White House one morning Just as Marine One was about to leave without him he came running across the lawn hollering and waving his arms The Secret Service agent supervising the flight told Adams to ldquojust gordquo The wind from the propellers whipped the reporterrsquos toupee right off his head and instead of continuing his run toward Marine One he reversed his field and tried feverishly to retrieve his toupee snagged in the hedges
ldquoEveryone got a pretty good chuckle out of thatrdquo
Of course there were somber times At one point Adams flew Cabinet members John Ehrlichman and Hr Haldeman to Camp David for a meeting with the president After only 15 minutes the two men returned and Marine One headed home Adams says it was a quiet flight He found out later the two men had been fired by President Nixon for their parts in the Watergate scandal
Whisking the president away from danger was a major part of being a pilot of Marine One Stationed across the river from the Capitol pilots awakened by an emergency alert had to be up in the air in five minutes This exercise was practiced often though never needed during Adamsrsquo tenure
One night however they thought it was The operator at the White House mistakenly hit the ldquoAlertrdquo button Marine One was in the air in five minutes
Although ground control had not spotted any enemy aircraft the operation was under way As Marine One closed in on the White House the operator at fault tried to alert everyone of his mistake but unfortunately used a poor choice of words to call off the operation
Adams chuckles as he says ldquoThe fella said lsquoThis is not an exercisersquo He was moved to another post i thinkrdquo
All levity aside the position required
the same kind of focus demanded of Adams in vietnam though it came in a different form
ldquoThere were three things the way you operated the aircraft and they were in this order safety comfort and speed Safety never gave in to comfort or speedrdquo says Adams ldquoOur job was just concentrating on doing our job it could have been anybody mdash we would do it the same way it could have been Fred Flintstone
ldquoThe difference between flying for the White House and in vietnam was we were flying a premier aircraft We had to keep it impeccably clean everything was scripted We had to have the lsquoopen-the-door timersquo down to two to four seconds in vietnam it was the stress of performing medevacs under fire or dropping troops under heavy artillery For Marine One it was the stress of doing the job rightrdquo
Also the stress of being away from onersquos family 200 days of the year wore on a Marine One pilot in 1974 after four years on the job the toll became too much and Adams stepped down
He would stay with the Marines for eight more years retiring in August 1982
By then he had received 44 Air Medals including the Joint Service Commendation and the Presidential Service Badge in his 20 years of service Adams flew seven different helicopters and five different fixed-wing planes
What makes an elite military pilot ldquoPilots who donrsquot have any misgivingsrdquo says Adams ldquoTheyrsquore totally prepared they know their aircraftrdquo
When talking about his colleagues on Marine One he adds ldquoNone were boasters They might brag about a great landing but they did not brag in spite of someone elserdquo
What did Adams love most about his flying days ldquoi enjoyed flying with the latest technology and the pristine quality of Marine One i loved the process of building my skills i could have flown another 40 years and i would still be learning thingsrdquo
is it any surprise his favorite hobby now is fly fishing

it is astonishing in many ways mdash that we are presented with two weeks of top-drawer music performed by top-drawer musi-cians that there are so many ways to encounter the music (many of them free) and that a rural community has provided the incu-
bator for such a cultural undertaking to name but a fewGranted we are not your average rural community having two
colleges a university a symphony a choral society a community band and music in the schools but letrsquos face it wersquore not exactly a cosmopolitan center of culture like New york either The Cham-ber Music Festival mdash and our continued support of it through some tough times mdash puts us in a category all our own

worked hard to start this event and to my great joy it has taken on an iden-tity of its own i hire the musicians and choose the music but the town its people and its environs make the festivalrdquo
The beauty of chamber music is its intimacy mdash smaller ensembles performing for smaller audiences it has been referred to as ldquothe music of friendsrdquo which seems so apt at this festival Free open rehearsals are held around town that provide not only a musical atmosphere in which to enjoy a latte or the ambiance of the kirkman House but which give a richer look into the machinations of a working ensemble
As one enthusiastic fan puts it ldquoi am not a musician and itrsquos fascinat-ing to watch these rehearsals to see the interactions of the musicians as they work out the snags make wry remarks and relate to each other in a whole different way than during a for-mal performance i get a glimpse into their personalities and what makes them tickrdquo
The festival supplies a generous of-fering of venues with free concerts for children and families relaxed evening programs at wineries and full concerts at the Foundry Chism Hall and Day-tonrsquos Liberty Theater
if you are lucky enough to live near the musiciansrsquo lodgings while they are in town you may also be treated to an ad hoc front-porch concert as the ensembles continue their rehearsals in more private settings The festival is about all of these ways mdash planned and accidental mdash to experience the enchantment of chamber music
it is also about historic continuity and the connection between past and present mdash relishing the existing canon while expanding the genre with con-temporary forms and voices
How is this accomplished in part by the annual commission of a new piece of music for the festival Chris-tie is committed to contributing to the broader chamber music repertoire and to providing the audience with the richest possible experience

ldquoFor classical music to be relevant there must be a conversation between the music of our time and the music of the pastrdquo he says
By commissioning a work for the festi-val each year Christie creates such a con-versation
This year the commission was given to John David Earnest Four festival commis-sions have preceded his and he is the sec-ond ldquolocalrdquo composer to be tapped add-ing another layer of relationship between community and event (in 2009 Whitman College professor David Glenn was given the nod)
As visiting adjunct professor of music at Whitman Earnest resides here for six weeks every semester His ldquoSecond Sym-phonyrdquo was written for and performed by the Walla Walla Symphony in October 2001
The challenge for the yearly commis-sionee is to compose a piece on demand within specific constraints of time place and instrumentation while expressing hisher own voice as an artist
Earnest has created ldquoCommedia Gal-leryrdquo a set of three movements for flute
viola and harp based on stock characters from the Commedia dellrsquoArte a popu-lar theatrical form that was influential in Europe for over 300 years Commedia characters improvised dialogue around set scenarios generally involving the struggles of young lovers to overcome hindrances to their romance and each character even-tually came to have a consistent set of at-tributes in speech mannerisms and cos-tume
Earnestrsquos ldquoGalleryrdquo gives us Arlecchi-no (Harlequin) an acrobatic and devious jester Pierrot the classic sad clown and finally Scaramouche a dandy and a brag-gart who is a coward at heart
in anticipation of this yearrsquos festival i am reminded of the scene in ldquoThe Music Manrdquo in which the town awaits the ar-rival of the Wells Fargo Wagon Potentially heaped with gifts and surprises it prom-ises connection to the larger world The WWCMF brings us all ldquosomethinrsquo specialrdquo mdash an enrichment of our community and our culture

Smith has gardened for years at his home at 38 Mulberry Court in College Place He used to grow vegetables and flowers now he is strictly focusing on flowers mdash with fabulous results roses delphiniums and lots of irises line the fence
ldquoirises mdash irsquove always enjoyed themrdquo he says ldquoThey take a little bit of weeding and watering but not much morerdquo itrsquos the gardenerrsquos dream mdash low maintenance with a big return
A retired orthopedic surgeon Smith has in the past gardened more extensively than he does now But he has enough plants to keep him busy His new project is planting more of the reblooming iris These are still hardy but you get twice the reward they bloom in the spring then again in the fall
ldquoTheyrsquore easy to grow and spectacular for a short time iris take less care than a lot of thingsrdquo Smith says
His secret for gardening is simple and therersquos no getting around it ldquoTime and workrdquo he laughs
Hersquos getting ready to start in the garden ldquoi need to clean out the leaves and the old foliage of the irisrdquo
in addition to the basic cleaning and maintenance Smith just decides how many plants to keep Bulb flowers are hardy and they multiply on their own
ldquoAfter five years you usually have to separate the bulbs when they get too thick i donrsquot have room to add more i put in the new re-blooming onesrdquo he explains ldquoi may add more and a few other thingsrdquo
But in a garden you can always try something new or rearrange existing plants often with a spectacular outcome

itrsquos an odd location since it can only be seen as yoursquore leaving town but it always makes me smile This valley my adopted home is indeed a great place to be
i recently finished reading the great Western writer Wallace Stegnerrsquos book ldquoThe Sound of Mountain Waterrdquo One of his essays traces his nomadic childhood which left him feeling rootless and without a place that he felt he could call home
i identify with his feeling of not belonging i was born to a single woman from Massachusetts in a New york City hospital i stayed a scant few days before being placed with an adoption agency Born in a place i had no familial connection to i was immediately deprived of my biological family Most of my childhood was spent in suburban Cleveland Ohio Moves to upstate New york New England and Pennsylvania brought me no closer to calling any place home i loved living in the western Massachusetts town of Stockbridge but the multigenerational denizens of the town left few openings for newcomers like me i lived in central Pennsylvania for several decades but felt detached from the deep roots that most people had in the area
When we came west (for my husband a homecoming to his Oregon roots for me a new experience) i noticed that even in long-established towns like Walla Walla there is ample room for newcomers who want to be
part of the community And most folks who choose to come here donrsquot seem to want to change the valley they prefer to embrace it
While the occasional newbie whines about the lack of Whole Foods or Nordstrom they soon discover our farmers markets the wide variety of local shops and boutiques and our world-class restaurants They fall in love with our charming downtowns the small-town friendliness of the people and our kid-friendly environment Then therersquos the holiday parade the fair the ever-present Blue Mountains the parks the museums the wineries mdash really whatrsquos not to like The communities of our valley represent America at its best
irsquom a newspaper junkie i love to read everything from news to sports to classifieds mdash even the obituaries The obits are a fascinating window on our valley Many of the people chronicled were born here some lived all their lives here inextricably bound to this place But a number of people came here from other places often far away and have made a mark on our area Which makes me wonder mdash is a place any less of a hometown because you choose it or is it based primarily on the happenstance of your birth it seems that therersquos room for both paths to calling this wonderful valley home
itrsquos also our strength because collectively as a community we bring both deep familial and cultural traditions as well as the fresh perspective of newcomers to our area irsquom glad mdash after decades of searching mdash that i finally found my hometown a place that feels just right

T H E A T R EPOWER HOUSE
My director Terry Edward Moore told me his only direction from the artistic director was that it be ldquoperiodrdquo that is to say authentic to the time
ldquoMerry Wivesrdquo is the only one of Shakespearersquos plays that is set in his own time so it was decided to present it as if the actors were people of the time doing what would be a contemporary (to the late 16th century) play
i started to research the clothing of the time how it was constructed and what kinds of fabrics were available at the time mdash linens homespuns woolens for the common people and silks damasks velvets and furs for the upper classes i discovered that Elizabethan society was strictly regulated in terms of social classes and upward mobility was a little-known concept Once a yeoman always a yeoman i also discovered the set of rules and regulations called ldquosumptuary lawsrdquo which specifically dictated what types of fabrics trims furs and even what colors each class was allowed to wear
Since there are three distinct classes represented in ldquoMerry Wivesrdquo mdash merchant class soldiers and servants mdash i tried to give each class its own color palette based on these laws The overall palette of the show is based on colors actually in use at the time
The availability of dyes was limited (except for the nobility) so the palette consists of many shades of yellows and browns russets black some greens and blue-grays and of course wheat-colored unbleached linen i turned to the Dutch painter Brueghel for inspiration on how the common people looked and dressed
i also researched what kinds of dyes were used and where they came from Dyes were created from all sorts of different things such as walnut shell crushed beetles and all kinds of roots i found a website that sells these authentic dyestuffs so irsquom using the real thing to dye some of the linen pieces and will coordinate the contemporary fabrics to these authentic colors
Nearly every piece will need something done to it mdash altered in some way to fit the actor re-trimmed rigged invisibly for quick changes etc mdash so there is a lot of labor involved Also hats were a hugely important part of Elizabethan fashion all the way down to the poorest serf
Certain styles of hats were often associated with certain professions mdash eg doctors scholars mdash so there are a number of hats to build as well as headpieces for the women No self-respecting woman went about with her head uncovered
Putting together a show like this is like putting together a giant jigsaw puzzle and the pieces are the costumes that irsquove borrowed and rented from other theater companies in the Seattle area such as Seattle repertory Seattle Opera and the University of Washington as well as pieces from Oregon Shakespeare Festival i design the show and then go out into the world and try to find pieces that approximate my designs and palette as closely as possible (usually with some reworking first) The pieces that i cant find and dont want to compromise on i build from scratch

But thatrsquos exactly what longtime Walla Walla resident Larry Adams did for four years He was one of a select group of pilots for Marine One the helicopter counterpart of the presidential airplane Air Force One from 1970 to 1974

Long before Adams became the Walla Walla Airport manager he was transporting heads of state foreign dignitaries famous (and now infamous) Cabinet members the executive staff and President richard M Nixon during one of the nationrsquos most turbulent times the withdrawal from vietnam and the Watergate scandal
But to Adams a native of Northern idaho all that swirled around the Nixon presidency was the least of his concerns His job was to transport the president safely to Andrews Air Force Base or Camp David or fly any short flight required Safety always at a premium End of story
Many times Adams ferried President Nixon and his staff on short flights far away from home Air Force One might fly President Nixon to a summit or a meeting with a foreign head of state but Marine One and Adams were always nearby to shuttle the chief executive on short flights or to whisk him away from sudden danger
Pretty heady stuff for a fourth-grade teacher who had never thought about flying until a Marine recruiter offered him the opportunity Although Adams had watched planes take off and land at a nearby air base as a child he had never given serious thought to flying it was more a need for a bigger paycheck than passion that brought Adams to his destiny
He liked teaching but it just wasnrsquot paying the bills So Adams turned to the military and the Gi Bill After being unimpressed by other recruiters Adams took a liking to the fellow from the Marines for as Adams recalls the recruiter took an interest in him After about an hour of talking the recruiter suggested Adams might have the potential to be a pilot
Having easily passed some preliminary tests Adams was sent to flight school in Pensacola Fla and a stellar career was ready to take off He performed well in all the aircraft he piloted but he showed a special skill for helicopters
Up until 1965 fixed-wing airplanes were the staple of all military air combat But the military had been gearing up for a big change The helicopter was to become a major part of combat The Pentagon had been developing helicopters that would do much more than transport troops to bases Now they would assist in bombing
raids ground attacks and the evacuation of the injured from the point of combat This new breed of helicopters would also possess the ability to fight back and not be lame ducks as before the new H34 would tote machine guns on each side
These cutting-edge aircraft would travel at unprecedented speeds with newly discovered agility Gifted pilots were needed not those who merely possessed superior technical skills but those who also had the composure to fly straight into
enemy fire in the dead of night picking up injured soldiers or aiding air attacks
Adams was one of those pilots and he would be one of two squadron leaders for ldquoOperation Starliterdquo mdash the first major assault using helicopters The Marines were going straight into a North vietnamese regimental stronghold No one knew what to expect
ldquoWe lost a lot that first time inrdquo says Adams ldquoTwo crew chiefs were killed

people ltcontinued from pg 31
four pilots were medevaced out because of their wounds i donrsquot think there was one helicopter that didnrsquot have a bunch of holes in it The one i flew in we got a lot of rounds in it Amazingly no one was hurt but when we got back the helicopter was so shot-up you couldnrsquot fly it anymore We lost 50 percent of our helicopters that dayrdquo
in the next 13 months Adams would fly many more missions often heading straight into anti-aircraft fire to pick up injured or killed soldiers He says he would see the flares signifying where the copter was supposed to land but frequently hersquod have to veer off because ground communication would say ldquoThe artillery is too hotrdquo Then there would be a window maybe two minutes maybe five when the helicopter could drop in and pick up the injured often being shot at as it waited for its passengers
Adams knew the best way to survive was to keep his focus ldquoin the daylight when you start your run in and yoursquore getting shot at Everything went to black and white for me i didnrsquot notice the green trees or the green rice paddies until we got out of there and then it would come back
to me i donrsquot know what that was i just didnrsquot see the colors irsquove talked to some other pilots and they described the same thingrdquo
in his two tours of duty in vietnam Adams would fly 880 combat missions in several types of helicopters and fixed-wing airplanes He received numerous medals including two Navy commendations for performance under combat conditions
Then the call came to fly for the president Before Adams could tote the commander in chief around in Marine One a thorough background check had to be done So thorough was the check that Adams said a friend from his hometown sent him a card that read ldquoAre you in some kind of trouble Jesus therersquos been a bunch of people around here with the dark grey suits and the skinny little ties Theyrsquore asking all these embarrassing questions about you like did you have drinking problem Did you have a gambling problem Do you know what Larryrsquos sexual preference wasrdquo
Adams chuckles ldquoit was pretty funnyrdquoAdams passed the grade and soon
he was flying President Nixon and his family to Camp David or picking up vice
President Spiro Agnew at the Pentagon or taking Secretary of State Henry kissinger or Secretary of Defense Alexander Haig to a classified meeting Although his flights varied from transporting foreign heads of state to flying members of the press the majority involved the president the vice president kissinger and Haig
The pilots did not speak to their travelers unless spoken to says Adams President Nixon usually looked in and asked them how they were kissinger never spoke Haig was good for a pat on the shoulder now and then but it was Agnew who conversed the most says Adams
Adams remembers ldquoOne time we picked him up at the Pentagon and we had taken off and had hit top altitude He usually would come up and look into the cockpit but this time he patted me on the shoulder and asked lsquoWell howrsquos it going today guysrsquordquo Adams replied ldquoNot bad sir and how about yourselfrdquo
Agnew answered ldquoMan they are really after my assrdquo He was talking about the press Adams says ldquoTwo weeks later he resignedrdquo
Adams recalls that his encounters with Agnew as defying the public perception
Adams far right gives instructions before a mission in Vietnam
Walla Walla LifestyLes 33
that Agnew was arrogant ldquoHe was always one of the nicest guys He was straightforward He looked like he had just stepped off the cover of Gentlemenrsquos Quarterly all the time He was very proper in the way he dressed but he had a sense of humor as wellrdquo
There were other humorous moments Adams recalls a certain reporter from CBS who had been a major thorn in President Nixonrsquos side was late for takeoff from the South Lawn of the White House one morning Just as Marine One was about to leave without him he came running across the lawn hollering and waving his arms The Secret Service agent supervising the flight told Adams to ldquojust gordquo The wind from the propellers whipped the reporterrsquos toupee right off his head and instead of continuing his run toward Marine One he reversed his field and tried feverishly to retrieve his toupee snagged in the hedges
ldquoEveryone got a pretty good chuckle out of thatrdquo
Of course there were somber times At one point Adams flew Cabinet members John Ehrlichman and Hr Haldeman to Camp David for a meeting with the president After only 15 minutes the two men returned and Marine One headed home Adams says it was a quiet flight He found out later the two men had been fired by President Nixon for their parts in the Watergate scandal
Whisking the president away from danger was a major part of being a pilot of Marine One Stationed across the river from the Capitol pilots awakened by an emergency alert had to be up in the air in five minutes This exercise was practiced often though never needed during Adamsrsquo tenure
One night however they thought it was The operator at the White House mistakenly hit the ldquoAlertrdquo button Marine One was in the air in five minutes
Although ground control had not spotted any enemy aircraft the operation was under way As Marine One closed in on the White House the operator at fault tried to alert everyone of his mistake but unfortunately used a poor choice of words to call off the operation
Adams chuckles as he says ldquoThe fella said lsquoThis is not an exercisersquo He was moved to another post i thinkrdquo
All levity aside the position required
the same kind of focus demanded of Adams in vietnam though it came in a different form
ldquoThere were three things the way you operated the aircraft and they were in this order safety comfort and speed Safety never gave in to comfort or speedrdquo says Adams ldquoOur job was just concentrating on doing our job it could have been anybody mdash we would do it the same way it could have been Fred Flintstone
ldquoThe difference between flying for the White House and in vietnam was we were flying a premier aircraft We had to keep it impeccably clean everything was scripted We had to have the lsquoopen-the-door timersquo down to two to four seconds in vietnam it was the stress of performing medevacs under fire or dropping troops under heavy artillery For Marine One it was the stress of doing the job rightrdquo
Also the stress of being away from onersquos family 200 days of the year wore on a Marine One pilot in 1974 after four years on the job the toll became too much and Adams stepped down
He would stay with the Marines for eight more years retiring in August 1982
By then he had received 44 Air Medals including the Joint Service Commendation and the Presidential Service Badge in his 20 years of service Adams flew seven different helicopters and five different fixed-wing planes
What makes an elite military pilot ldquoPilots who donrsquot have any misgivingsrdquo says Adams ldquoTheyrsquore totally prepared they know their aircraftrdquo
When talking about his colleagues on Marine One he adds ldquoNone were boasters They might brag about a great landing but they did not brag in spite of someone elserdquo
What did Adams love most about his flying days ldquoi enjoyed flying with the latest technology and the pristine quality of Marine One i loved the process of building my skills i could have flown another 40 years and i would still be learning thingsrdquo
is it any surprise his favorite hobby now is fly fishing

it is astonishing in many ways mdash that we are presented with two weeks of top-drawer music performed by top-drawer musi-cians that there are so many ways to encounter the music (many of them free) and that a rural community has provided the incu-
bator for such a cultural undertaking to name but a fewGranted we are not your average rural community having two
colleges a university a symphony a choral society a community band and music in the schools but letrsquos face it wersquore not exactly a cosmopolitan center of culture like New york either The Cham-ber Music Festival mdash and our continued support of it through some tough times mdash puts us in a category all our own

worked hard to start this event and to my great joy it has taken on an iden-tity of its own i hire the musicians and choose the music but the town its people and its environs make the festivalrdquo
The beauty of chamber music is its intimacy mdash smaller ensembles performing for smaller audiences it has been referred to as ldquothe music of friendsrdquo which seems so apt at this festival Free open rehearsals are held around town that provide not only a musical atmosphere in which to enjoy a latte or the ambiance of the kirkman House but which give a richer look into the machinations of a working ensemble
As one enthusiastic fan puts it ldquoi am not a musician and itrsquos fascinat-ing to watch these rehearsals to see the interactions of the musicians as they work out the snags make wry remarks and relate to each other in a whole different way than during a for-mal performance i get a glimpse into their personalities and what makes them tickrdquo
The festival supplies a generous of-fering of venues with free concerts for children and families relaxed evening programs at wineries and full concerts at the Foundry Chism Hall and Day-tonrsquos Liberty Theater
if you are lucky enough to live near the musiciansrsquo lodgings while they are in town you may also be treated to an ad hoc front-porch concert as the ensembles continue their rehearsals in more private settings The festival is about all of these ways mdash planned and accidental mdash to experience the enchantment of chamber music
it is also about historic continuity and the connection between past and present mdash relishing the existing canon while expanding the genre with con-temporary forms and voices
How is this accomplished in part by the annual commission of a new piece of music for the festival Chris-tie is committed to contributing to the broader chamber music repertoire and to providing the audience with the richest possible experience

ldquoFor classical music to be relevant there must be a conversation between the music of our time and the music of the pastrdquo he says
By commissioning a work for the festi-val each year Christie creates such a con-versation
This year the commission was given to John David Earnest Four festival commis-sions have preceded his and he is the sec-ond ldquolocalrdquo composer to be tapped add-ing another layer of relationship between community and event (in 2009 Whitman College professor David Glenn was given the nod)
As visiting adjunct professor of music at Whitman Earnest resides here for six weeks every semester His ldquoSecond Sym-phonyrdquo was written for and performed by the Walla Walla Symphony in October 2001
The challenge for the yearly commis-sionee is to compose a piece on demand within specific constraints of time place and instrumentation while expressing hisher own voice as an artist
Earnest has created ldquoCommedia Gal-leryrdquo a set of three movements for flute
viola and harp based on stock characters from the Commedia dellrsquoArte a popu-lar theatrical form that was influential in Europe for over 300 years Commedia characters improvised dialogue around set scenarios generally involving the struggles of young lovers to overcome hindrances to their romance and each character even-tually came to have a consistent set of at-tributes in speech mannerisms and cos-tume
Earnestrsquos ldquoGalleryrdquo gives us Arlecchi-no (Harlequin) an acrobatic and devious jester Pierrot the classic sad clown and finally Scaramouche a dandy and a brag-gart who is a coward at heart
in anticipation of this yearrsquos festival i am reminded of the scene in ldquoThe Music Manrdquo in which the town awaits the ar-rival of the Wells Fargo Wagon Potentially heaped with gifts and surprises it prom-ises connection to the larger world The WWCMF brings us all ldquosomethinrsquo specialrdquo mdash an enrichment of our community and our culture

Smith has gardened for years at his home at 38 Mulberry Court in College Place He used to grow vegetables and flowers now he is strictly focusing on flowers mdash with fabulous results roses delphiniums and lots of irises line the fence
ldquoirises mdash irsquove always enjoyed themrdquo he says ldquoThey take a little bit of weeding and watering but not much morerdquo itrsquos the gardenerrsquos dream mdash low maintenance with a big return
A retired orthopedic surgeon Smith has in the past gardened more extensively than he does now But he has enough plants to keep him busy His new project is planting more of the reblooming iris These are still hardy but you get twice the reward they bloom in the spring then again in the fall
ldquoTheyrsquore easy to grow and spectacular for a short time iris take less care than a lot of thingsrdquo Smith says
His secret for gardening is simple and therersquos no getting around it ldquoTime and workrdquo he laughs
Hersquos getting ready to start in the garden ldquoi need to clean out the leaves and the old foliage of the irisrdquo
in addition to the basic cleaning and maintenance Smith just decides how many plants to keep Bulb flowers are hardy and they multiply on their own
ldquoAfter five years you usually have to separate the bulbs when they get too thick i donrsquot have room to add more i put in the new re-blooming onesrdquo he explains ldquoi may add more and a few other thingsrdquo
But in a garden you can always try something new or rearrange existing plants often with a spectacular outcome

itrsquos an odd location since it can only be seen as yoursquore leaving town but it always makes me smile This valley my adopted home is indeed a great place to be
i recently finished reading the great Western writer Wallace Stegnerrsquos book ldquoThe Sound of Mountain Waterrdquo One of his essays traces his nomadic childhood which left him feeling rootless and without a place that he felt he could call home
i identify with his feeling of not belonging i was born to a single woman from Massachusetts in a New york City hospital i stayed a scant few days before being placed with an adoption agency Born in a place i had no familial connection to i was immediately deprived of my biological family Most of my childhood was spent in suburban Cleveland Ohio Moves to upstate New york New England and Pennsylvania brought me no closer to calling any place home i loved living in the western Massachusetts town of Stockbridge but the multigenerational denizens of the town left few openings for newcomers like me i lived in central Pennsylvania for several decades but felt detached from the deep roots that most people had in the area
When we came west (for my husband a homecoming to his Oregon roots for me a new experience) i noticed that even in long-established towns like Walla Walla there is ample room for newcomers who want to be
part of the community And most folks who choose to come here donrsquot seem to want to change the valley they prefer to embrace it
While the occasional newbie whines about the lack of Whole Foods or Nordstrom they soon discover our farmers markets the wide variety of local shops and boutiques and our world-class restaurants They fall in love with our charming downtowns the small-town friendliness of the people and our kid-friendly environment Then therersquos the holiday parade the fair the ever-present Blue Mountains the parks the museums the wineries mdash really whatrsquos not to like The communities of our valley represent America at its best
irsquom a newspaper junkie i love to read everything from news to sports to classifieds mdash even the obituaries The obits are a fascinating window on our valley Many of the people chronicled were born here some lived all their lives here inextricably bound to this place But a number of people came here from other places often far away and have made a mark on our area Which makes me wonder mdash is a place any less of a hometown because you choose it or is it based primarily on the happenstance of your birth it seems that therersquos room for both paths to calling this wonderful valley home
itrsquos also our strength because collectively as a community we bring both deep familial and cultural traditions as well as the fresh perspective of newcomers to our area irsquom glad mdash after decades of searching mdash that i finally found my hometown a place that feels just right

T H E A T R EPOWER HOUSE
My director Terry Edward Moore told me his only direction from the artistic director was that it be ldquoperiodrdquo that is to say authentic to the time
ldquoMerry Wivesrdquo is the only one of Shakespearersquos plays that is set in his own time so it was decided to present it as if the actors were people of the time doing what would be a contemporary (to the late 16th century) play
i started to research the clothing of the time how it was constructed and what kinds of fabrics were available at the time mdash linens homespuns woolens for the common people and silks damasks velvets and furs for the upper classes i discovered that Elizabethan society was strictly regulated in terms of social classes and upward mobility was a little-known concept Once a yeoman always a yeoman i also discovered the set of rules and regulations called ldquosumptuary lawsrdquo which specifically dictated what types of fabrics trims furs and even what colors each class was allowed to wear
Since there are three distinct classes represented in ldquoMerry Wivesrdquo mdash merchant class soldiers and servants mdash i tried to give each class its own color palette based on these laws The overall palette of the show is based on colors actually in use at the time
The availability of dyes was limited (except for the nobility) so the palette consists of many shades of yellows and browns russets black some greens and blue-grays and of course wheat-colored unbleached linen i turned to the Dutch painter Brueghel for inspiration on how the common people looked and dressed
i also researched what kinds of dyes were used and where they came from Dyes were created from all sorts of different things such as walnut shell crushed beetles and all kinds of roots i found a website that sells these authentic dyestuffs so irsquom using the real thing to dye some of the linen pieces and will coordinate the contemporary fabrics to these authentic colors
Nearly every piece will need something done to it mdash altered in some way to fit the actor re-trimmed rigged invisibly for quick changes etc mdash so there is a lot of labor involved Also hats were a hugely important part of Elizabethan fashion all the way down to the poorest serf
Certain styles of hats were often associated with certain professions mdash eg doctors scholars mdash so there are a number of hats to build as well as headpieces for the women No self-respecting woman went about with her head uncovered
Putting together a show like this is like putting together a giant jigsaw puzzle and the pieces are the costumes that irsquove borrowed and rented from other theater companies in the Seattle area such as Seattle repertory Seattle Opera and the University of Washington as well as pieces from Oregon Shakespeare Festival i design the show and then go out into the world and try to find pieces that approximate my designs and palette as closely as possible (usually with some reworking first) The pieces that i cant find and dont want to compromise on i build from scratch

But thatrsquos exactly what longtime Walla Walla resident Larry Adams did for four years He was one of a select group of pilots for Marine One the helicopter counterpart of the presidential airplane Air Force One from 1970 to 1974

Long before Adams became the Walla Walla Airport manager he was transporting heads of state foreign dignitaries famous (and now infamous) Cabinet members the executive staff and President richard M Nixon during one of the nationrsquos most turbulent times the withdrawal from vietnam and the Watergate scandal
But to Adams a native of Northern idaho all that swirled around the Nixon presidency was the least of his concerns His job was to transport the president safely to Andrews Air Force Base or Camp David or fly any short flight required Safety always at a premium End of story
Many times Adams ferried President Nixon and his staff on short flights far away from home Air Force One might fly President Nixon to a summit or a meeting with a foreign head of state but Marine One and Adams were always nearby to shuttle the chief executive on short flights or to whisk him away from sudden danger
Pretty heady stuff for a fourth-grade teacher who had never thought about flying until a Marine recruiter offered him the opportunity Although Adams had watched planes take off and land at a nearby air base as a child he had never given serious thought to flying it was more a need for a bigger paycheck than passion that brought Adams to his destiny
He liked teaching but it just wasnrsquot paying the bills So Adams turned to the military and the Gi Bill After being unimpressed by other recruiters Adams took a liking to the fellow from the Marines for as Adams recalls the recruiter took an interest in him After about an hour of talking the recruiter suggested Adams might have the potential to be a pilot
Having easily passed some preliminary tests Adams was sent to flight school in Pensacola Fla and a stellar career was ready to take off He performed well in all the aircraft he piloted but he showed a special skill for helicopters
Up until 1965 fixed-wing airplanes were the staple of all military air combat But the military had been gearing up for a big change The helicopter was to become a major part of combat The Pentagon had been developing helicopters that would do much more than transport troops to bases Now they would assist in bombing
raids ground attacks and the evacuation of the injured from the point of combat This new breed of helicopters would also possess the ability to fight back and not be lame ducks as before the new H34 would tote machine guns on each side
These cutting-edge aircraft would travel at unprecedented speeds with newly discovered agility Gifted pilots were needed not those who merely possessed superior technical skills but those who also had the composure to fly straight into
enemy fire in the dead of night picking up injured soldiers or aiding air attacks
Adams was one of those pilots and he would be one of two squadron leaders for ldquoOperation Starliterdquo mdash the first major assault using helicopters The Marines were going straight into a North vietnamese regimental stronghold No one knew what to expect
ldquoWe lost a lot that first time inrdquo says Adams ldquoTwo crew chiefs were killed
Continued on pg 32 gt
In this newspaper clipping Larry Adams poses on the steps of the helicopter dubbed Marine One which he piloted for President Richard M Nixon
32 Walla Walla LifestyLes
people ltcontinued from pg 31
four pilots were medevaced out because of their wounds i donrsquot think there was one helicopter that didnrsquot have a bunch of holes in it The one i flew in we got a lot of rounds in it Amazingly no one was hurt but when we got back the helicopter was so shot-up you couldnrsquot fly it anymore We lost 50 percent of our helicopters that dayrdquo
in the next 13 months Adams would fly many more missions often heading straight into anti-aircraft fire to pick up injured or killed soldiers He says he would see the flares signifying where the copter was supposed to land but frequently hersquod have to veer off because ground communication would say ldquoThe artillery is too hotrdquo Then there would be a window maybe two minutes maybe five when the helicopter could drop in and pick up the injured often being shot at as it waited for its passengers
Adams knew the best way to survive was to keep his focus ldquoin the daylight when you start your run in and yoursquore getting shot at Everything went to black and white for me i didnrsquot notice the green trees or the green rice paddies until we got out of there and then it would come back
to me i donrsquot know what that was i just didnrsquot see the colors irsquove talked to some other pilots and they described the same thingrdquo
in his two tours of duty in vietnam Adams would fly 880 combat missions in several types of helicopters and fixed-wing airplanes He received numerous medals including two Navy commendations for performance under combat conditions
Then the call came to fly for the president Before Adams could tote the commander in chief around in Marine One a thorough background check had to be done So thorough was the check that Adams said a friend from his hometown sent him a card that read ldquoAre you in some kind of trouble Jesus therersquos been a bunch of people around here with the dark grey suits and the skinny little ties Theyrsquore asking all these embarrassing questions about you like did you have drinking problem Did you have a gambling problem Do you know what Larryrsquos sexual preference wasrdquo
Adams chuckles ldquoit was pretty funnyrdquoAdams passed the grade and soon
he was flying President Nixon and his family to Camp David or picking up vice
President Spiro Agnew at the Pentagon or taking Secretary of State Henry kissinger or Secretary of Defense Alexander Haig to a classified meeting Although his flights varied from transporting foreign heads of state to flying members of the press the majority involved the president the vice president kissinger and Haig
The pilots did not speak to their travelers unless spoken to says Adams President Nixon usually looked in and asked them how they were kissinger never spoke Haig was good for a pat on the shoulder now and then but it was Agnew who conversed the most says Adams
Adams remembers ldquoOne time we picked him up at the Pentagon and we had taken off and had hit top altitude He usually would come up and look into the cockpit but this time he patted me on the shoulder and asked lsquoWell howrsquos it going today guysrsquordquo Adams replied ldquoNot bad sir and how about yourselfrdquo
Agnew answered ldquoMan they are really after my assrdquo He was talking about the press Adams says ldquoTwo weeks later he resignedrdquo
Adams recalls that his encounters with Agnew as defying the public perception
Adams far right gives instructions before a mission in Vietnam
Walla Walla LifestyLes 33
that Agnew was arrogant ldquoHe was always one of the nicest guys He was straightforward He looked like he had just stepped off the cover of Gentlemenrsquos Quarterly all the time He was very proper in the way he dressed but he had a sense of humor as wellrdquo
There were other humorous moments Adams recalls a certain reporter from CBS who had been a major thorn in President Nixonrsquos side was late for takeoff from the South Lawn of the White House one morning Just as Marine One was about to leave without him he came running across the lawn hollering and waving his arms The Secret Service agent supervising the flight told Adams to ldquojust gordquo The wind from the propellers whipped the reporterrsquos toupee right off his head and instead of continuing his run toward Marine One he reversed his field and tried feverishly to retrieve his toupee snagged in the hedges
ldquoEveryone got a pretty good chuckle out of thatrdquo
Of course there were somber times At one point Adams flew Cabinet members John Ehrlichman and Hr Haldeman to Camp David for a meeting with the president After only 15 minutes the two men returned and Marine One headed home Adams says it was a quiet flight He found out later the two men had been fired by President Nixon for their parts in the Watergate scandal
Whisking the president away from danger was a major part of being a pilot of Marine One Stationed across the river from the Capitol pilots awakened by an emergency alert had to be up in the air in five minutes This exercise was practiced often though never needed during Adamsrsquo tenure
One night however they thought it was The operator at the White House mistakenly hit the ldquoAlertrdquo button Marine One was in the air in five minutes
Although ground control had not spotted any enemy aircraft the operation was under way As Marine One closed in on the White House the operator at fault tried to alert everyone of his mistake but unfortunately used a poor choice of words to call off the operation
Adams chuckles as he says ldquoThe fella said lsquoThis is not an exercisersquo He was moved to another post i thinkrdquo
All levity aside the position required
the same kind of focus demanded of Adams in vietnam though it came in a different form
ldquoThere were three things the way you operated the aircraft and they were in this order safety comfort and speed Safety never gave in to comfort or speedrdquo says Adams ldquoOur job was just concentrating on doing our job it could have been anybody mdash we would do it the same way it could have been Fred Flintstone
ldquoThe difference between flying for the White House and in vietnam was we were flying a premier aircraft We had to keep it impeccably clean everything was scripted We had to have the lsquoopen-the-door timersquo down to two to four seconds in vietnam it was the stress of performing medevacs under fire or dropping troops under heavy artillery For Marine One it was the stress of doing the job rightrdquo
Also the stress of being away from onersquos family 200 days of the year wore on a Marine One pilot in 1974 after four years on the job the toll became too much and Adams stepped down
He would stay with the Marines for eight more years retiring in August 1982
By then he had received 44 Air Medals including the Joint Service Commendation and the Presidential Service Badge in his 20 years of service Adams flew seven different helicopters and five different fixed-wing planes
What makes an elite military pilot ldquoPilots who donrsquot have any misgivingsrdquo says Adams ldquoTheyrsquore totally prepared they know their aircraftrdquo
When talking about his colleagues on Marine One he adds ldquoNone were boasters They might brag about a great landing but they did not brag in spite of someone elserdquo
What did Adams love most about his flying days ldquoi enjoyed flying with the latest technology and the pristine quality of Marine One i loved the process of building my skills i could have flown another 40 years and i would still be learning thingsrdquo
is it any surprise his favorite hobby now is fly fishing

it is astonishing in many ways mdash that we are presented with two weeks of top-drawer music performed by top-drawer musi-cians that there are so many ways to encounter the music (many of them free) and that a rural community has provided the incu-
bator for such a cultural undertaking to name but a fewGranted we are not your average rural community having two
colleges a university a symphony a choral society a community band and music in the schools but letrsquos face it wersquore not exactly a cosmopolitan center of culture like New york either The Cham-ber Music Festival mdash and our continued support of it through some tough times mdash puts us in a category all our own
ldquoi saw what was special about this community the first time i visited in 2007rdquo Artistic Director Timothy Christie says ldquoi have

worked hard to start this event and to my great joy it has taken on an iden-tity of its own i hire the musicians and choose the music but the town its people and its environs make the festivalrdquo
The beauty of chamber music is its intimacy mdash smaller ensembles performing for smaller audiences it has been referred to as ldquothe music of friendsrdquo which seems so apt at this festival Free open rehearsals are held around town that provide not only a musical atmosphere in which to enjoy a latte or the ambiance of the kirkman House but which give a richer look into the machinations of a working ensemble
As one enthusiastic fan puts it ldquoi am not a musician and itrsquos fascinat-ing to watch these rehearsals to see the interactions of the musicians as they work out the snags make wry remarks and relate to each other in a whole different way than during a for-mal performance i get a glimpse into their personalities and what makes them tickrdquo
The festival supplies a generous of-fering of venues with free concerts for children and families relaxed evening programs at wineries and full concerts at the Foundry Chism Hall and Day-tonrsquos Liberty Theater
if you are lucky enough to live near the musiciansrsquo lodgings while they are in town you may also be treated to an ad hoc front-porch concert as the ensembles continue their rehearsals in more private settings The festival is about all of these ways mdash planned and accidental mdash to experience the enchantment of chamber music
it is also about historic continuity and the connection between past and present mdash relishing the existing canon while expanding the genre with con-temporary forms and voices
How is this accomplished in part by the annual commission of a new piece of music for the festival Chris-tie is committed to contributing to the broader chamber music repertoire and to providing the audience with the richest possible experience

ldquoFor classical music to be relevant there must be a conversation between the music of our time and the music of the pastrdquo he says
By commissioning a work for the festi-val each year Christie creates such a con-versation
This year the commission was given to John David Earnest Four festival commis-sions have preceded his and he is the sec-ond ldquolocalrdquo composer to be tapped add-ing another layer of relationship between community and event (in 2009 Whitman College professor David Glenn was given the nod)
As visiting adjunct professor of music at Whitman Earnest resides here for six weeks every semester His ldquoSecond Sym-phonyrdquo was written for and performed by the Walla Walla Symphony in October 2001
The challenge for the yearly commis-sionee is to compose a piece on demand within specific constraints of time place and instrumentation while expressing hisher own voice as an artist
Earnest has created ldquoCommedia Gal-leryrdquo a set of three movements for flute
viola and harp based on stock characters from the Commedia dellrsquoArte a popu-lar theatrical form that was influential in Europe for over 300 years Commedia characters improvised dialogue around set scenarios generally involving the struggles of young lovers to overcome hindrances to their romance and each character even-tually came to have a consistent set of at-tributes in speech mannerisms and cos-tume
Earnestrsquos ldquoGalleryrdquo gives us Arlecchi-no (Harlequin) an acrobatic and devious jester Pierrot the classic sad clown and finally Scaramouche a dandy and a brag-gart who is a coward at heart
in anticipation of this yearrsquos festival i am reminded of the scene in ldquoThe Music Manrdquo in which the town awaits the ar-rival of the Wells Fargo Wagon Potentially heaped with gifts and surprises it prom-ises connection to the larger world The WWCMF brings us all ldquosomethinrsquo specialrdquo mdash an enrichment of our community and our culture

Smith has gardened for years at his home at 38 Mulberry Court in College Place He used to grow vegetables and flowers now he is strictly focusing on flowers mdash with fabulous results roses delphiniums and lots of irises line the fence
ldquoirises mdash irsquove always enjoyed themrdquo he says ldquoThey take a little bit of weeding and watering but not much morerdquo itrsquos the gardenerrsquos dream mdash low maintenance with a big return
A retired orthopedic surgeon Smith has in the past gardened more extensively than he does now But he has enough plants to keep him busy His new project is planting more of the reblooming iris These are still hardy but you get twice the reward they bloom in the spring then again in the fall
ldquoTheyrsquore easy to grow and spectacular for a short time iris take less care than a lot of thingsrdquo Smith says
His secret for gardening is simple and therersquos no getting around it ldquoTime and workrdquo he laughs
Hersquos getting ready to start in the garden ldquoi need to clean out the leaves and the old foliage of the irisrdquo
in addition to the basic cleaning and maintenance Smith just decides how many plants to keep Bulb flowers are hardy and they multiply on their own
ldquoAfter five years you usually have to separate the bulbs when they get too thick i donrsquot have room to add more i put in the new re-blooming onesrdquo he explains ldquoi may add more and a few other thingsrdquo
But in a garden you can always try something new or rearrange existing plants often with a spectacular outcome

itrsquos an odd location since it can only be seen as yoursquore leaving town but it always makes me smile This valley my adopted home is indeed a great place to be
i recently finished reading the great Western writer Wallace Stegnerrsquos book ldquoThe Sound of Mountain Waterrdquo One of his essays traces his nomadic childhood which left him feeling rootless and without a place that he felt he could call home
i identify with his feeling of not belonging i was born to a single woman from Massachusetts in a New york City hospital i stayed a scant few days before being placed with an adoption agency Born in a place i had no familial connection to i was immediately deprived of my biological family Most of my childhood was spent in suburban Cleveland Ohio Moves to upstate New york New England and Pennsylvania brought me no closer to calling any place home i loved living in the western Massachusetts town of Stockbridge but the multigenerational denizens of the town left few openings for newcomers like me i lived in central Pennsylvania for several decades but felt detached from the deep roots that most people had in the area
When we came west (for my husband a homecoming to his Oregon roots for me a new experience) i noticed that even in long-established towns like Walla Walla there is ample room for newcomers who want to be
part of the community And most folks who choose to come here donrsquot seem to want to change the valley they prefer to embrace it
While the occasional newbie whines about the lack of Whole Foods or Nordstrom they soon discover our farmers markets the wide variety of local shops and boutiques and our world-class restaurants They fall in love with our charming downtowns the small-town friendliness of the people and our kid-friendly environment Then therersquos the holiday parade the fair the ever-present Blue Mountains the parks the museums the wineries mdash really whatrsquos not to like The communities of our valley represent America at its best
irsquom a newspaper junkie i love to read everything from news to sports to classifieds mdash even the obituaries The obits are a fascinating window on our valley Many of the people chronicled were born here some lived all their lives here inextricably bound to this place But a number of people came here from other places often far away and have made a mark on our area Which makes me wonder mdash is a place any less of a hometown because you choose it or is it based primarily on the happenstance of your birth it seems that therersquos room for both paths to calling this wonderful valley home
itrsquos also our strength because collectively as a community we bring both deep familial and cultural traditions as well as the fresh perspective of newcomers to our area irsquom glad mdash after decades of searching mdash that i finally found my hometown a place that feels just right

T H E A T R EPOWER HOUSE
My director Terry Edward Moore told me his only direction from the artistic director was that it be ldquoperiodrdquo that is to say authentic to the time
ldquoMerry Wivesrdquo is the only one of Shakespearersquos plays that is set in his own time so it was decided to present it as if the actors were people of the time doing what would be a contemporary (to the late 16th century) play
i started to research the clothing of the time how it was constructed and what kinds of fabrics were available at the time mdash linens homespuns woolens for the common people and silks damasks velvets and furs for the upper classes i discovered that Elizabethan society was strictly regulated in terms of social classes and upward mobility was a little-known concept Once a yeoman always a yeoman i also discovered the set of rules and regulations called ldquosumptuary lawsrdquo which specifically dictated what types of fabrics trims furs and even what colors each class was allowed to wear
Since there are three distinct classes represented in ldquoMerry Wivesrdquo mdash merchant class soldiers and servants mdash i tried to give each class its own color palette based on these laws The overall palette of the show is based on colors actually in use at the time
The availability of dyes was limited (except for the nobility) so the palette consists of many shades of yellows and browns russets black some greens and blue-grays and of course wheat-colored unbleached linen i turned to the Dutch painter Brueghel for inspiration on how the common people looked and dressed
i also researched what kinds of dyes were used and where they came from Dyes were created from all sorts of different things such as walnut shell crushed beetles and all kinds of roots i found a website that sells these authentic dyestuffs so irsquom using the real thing to dye some of the linen pieces and will coordinate the contemporary fabrics to these authentic colors
Nearly every piece will need something done to it mdash altered in some way to fit the actor re-trimmed rigged invisibly for quick changes etc mdash so there is a lot of labor involved Also hats were a hugely important part of Elizabethan fashion all the way down to the poorest serf
Certain styles of hats were often associated with certain professions mdash eg doctors scholars mdash so there are a number of hats to build as well as headpieces for the women No self-respecting woman went about with her head uncovered
Putting together a show like this is like putting together a giant jigsaw puzzle and the pieces are the costumes that irsquove borrowed and rented from other theater companies in the Seattle area such as Seattle repertory Seattle Opera and the University of Washington as well as pieces from Oregon Shakespeare Festival i design the show and then go out into the world and try to find pieces that approximate my designs and palette as closely as possible (usually with some reworking first) The pieces that i cant find and dont want to compromise on i build from scratch

But thatrsquos exactly what longtime Walla Walla resident Larry Adams did for four years He was one of a select group of pilots for Marine One the helicopter counterpart of the presidential airplane Air Force One from 1970 to 1974

Long before Adams became the Walla Walla Airport manager he was transporting heads of state foreign dignitaries famous (and now infamous) Cabinet members the executive staff and President richard M Nixon during one of the nationrsquos most turbulent times the withdrawal from vietnam and the Watergate scandal
But to Adams a native of Northern idaho all that swirled around the Nixon presidency was the least of his concerns His job was to transport the president safely to Andrews Air Force Base or Camp David or fly any short flight required Safety always at a premium End of story
Many times Adams ferried President Nixon and his staff on short flights far away from home Air Force One might fly President Nixon to a summit or a meeting with a foreign head of state but Marine One and Adams were always nearby to shuttle the chief executive on short flights or to whisk him away from sudden danger
Pretty heady stuff for a fourth-grade teacher who had never thought about flying until a Marine recruiter offered him the opportunity Although Adams had watched planes take off and land at a nearby air base as a child he had never given serious thought to flying it was more a need for a bigger paycheck than passion that brought Adams to his destiny
He liked teaching but it just wasnrsquot paying the bills So Adams turned to the military and the Gi Bill After being unimpressed by other recruiters Adams took a liking to the fellow from the Marines for as Adams recalls the recruiter took an interest in him After about an hour of talking the recruiter suggested Adams might have the potential to be a pilot
Having easily passed some preliminary tests Adams was sent to flight school in Pensacola Fla and a stellar career was ready to take off He performed well in all the aircraft he piloted but he showed a special skill for helicopters
Up until 1965 fixed-wing airplanes were the staple of all military air combat But the military had been gearing up for a big change The helicopter was to become a major part of combat The Pentagon had been developing helicopters that would do much more than transport troops to bases Now they would assist in bombing
raids ground attacks and the evacuation of the injured from the point of combat This new breed of helicopters would also possess the ability to fight back and not be lame ducks as before the new H34 would tote machine guns on each side
These cutting-edge aircraft would travel at unprecedented speeds with newly discovered agility Gifted pilots were needed not those who merely possessed superior technical skills but those who also had the composure to fly straight into
enemy fire in the dead of night picking up injured soldiers or aiding air attacks
Adams was one of those pilots and he would be one of two squadron leaders for ldquoOperation Starliterdquo mdash the first major assault using helicopters The Marines were going straight into a North vietnamese regimental stronghold No one knew what to expect
ldquoWe lost a lot that first time inrdquo says Adams ldquoTwo crew chiefs were killed
Continued on pg 32 gt
In this newspaper clipping Larry Adams poses on the steps of the helicopter dubbed Marine One which he piloted for President Richard M Nixon

people ltcontinued from pg 31
four pilots were medevaced out because of their wounds i donrsquot think there was one helicopter that didnrsquot have a bunch of holes in it The one i flew in we got a lot of rounds in it Amazingly no one was hurt but when we got back the helicopter was so shot-up you couldnrsquot fly it anymore We lost 50 percent of our helicopters that dayrdquo
in the next 13 months Adams would fly many more missions often heading straight into anti-aircraft fire to pick up injured or killed soldiers He says he would see the flares signifying where the copter was supposed to land but frequently hersquod have to veer off because ground communication would say ldquoThe artillery is too hotrdquo Then there would be a window maybe two minutes maybe five when the helicopter could drop in and pick up the injured often being shot at as it waited for its passengers
Adams knew the best way to survive was to keep his focus ldquoin the daylight when you start your run in and yoursquore getting shot at Everything went to black and white for me i didnrsquot notice the green trees or the green rice paddies until we got out of there and then it would come back
to me i donrsquot know what that was i just didnrsquot see the colors irsquove talked to some other pilots and they described the same thingrdquo
in his two tours of duty in vietnam Adams would fly 880 combat missions in several types of helicopters and fixed-wing airplanes He received numerous medals including two Navy commendations for performance under combat conditions
Then the call came to fly for the president Before Adams could tote the commander in chief around in Marine One a thorough background check had to be done So thorough was the check that Adams said a friend from his hometown sent him a card that read ldquoAre you in some kind of trouble Jesus therersquos been a bunch of people around here with the dark grey suits and the skinny little ties Theyrsquore asking all these embarrassing questions about you like did you have drinking problem Did you have a gambling problem Do you know what Larryrsquos sexual preference wasrdquo
Adams chuckles ldquoit was pretty funnyrdquoAdams passed the grade and soon
he was flying President Nixon and his family to Camp David or picking up vice
President Spiro Agnew at the Pentagon or taking Secretary of State Henry kissinger or Secretary of Defense Alexander Haig to a classified meeting Although his flights varied from transporting foreign heads of state to flying members of the press the majority involved the president the vice president kissinger and Haig
The pilots did not speak to their travelers unless spoken to says Adams President Nixon usually looked in and asked them how they were kissinger never spoke Haig was good for a pat on the shoulder now and then but it was Agnew who conversed the most says Adams
Adams remembers ldquoOne time we picked him up at the Pentagon and we had taken off and had hit top altitude He usually would come up and look into the cockpit but this time he patted me on the shoulder and asked lsquoWell howrsquos it going today guysrsquordquo Adams replied ldquoNot bad sir and how about yourselfrdquo
Agnew answered ldquoMan they are really after my assrdquo He was talking about the press Adams says ldquoTwo weeks later he resignedrdquo
Adams recalls that his encounters with Agnew as defying the public perception
Adams far right gives instructions before a mission in Vietnam
Walla Walla LifestyLes 33
that Agnew was arrogant ldquoHe was always one of the nicest guys He was straightforward He looked like he had just stepped off the cover of Gentlemenrsquos Quarterly all the time He was very proper in the way he dressed but he had a sense of humor as wellrdquo
There were other humorous moments Adams recalls a certain reporter from CBS who had been a major thorn in President Nixonrsquos side was late for takeoff from the South Lawn of the White House one morning Just as Marine One was about to leave without him he came running across the lawn hollering and waving his arms The Secret Service agent supervising the flight told Adams to ldquojust gordquo The wind from the propellers whipped the reporterrsquos toupee right off his head and instead of continuing his run toward Marine One he reversed his field and tried feverishly to retrieve his toupee snagged in the hedges
ldquoEveryone got a pretty good chuckle out of thatrdquo
Of course there were somber times At one point Adams flew Cabinet members John Ehrlichman and Hr Haldeman to Camp David for a meeting with the president After only 15 minutes the two men returned and Marine One headed home Adams says it was a quiet flight He found out later the two men had been fired by President Nixon for their parts in the Watergate scandal
Whisking the president away from danger was a major part of being a pilot of Marine One Stationed across the river from the Capitol pilots awakened by an emergency alert had to be up in the air in five minutes This exercise was practiced often though never needed during Adamsrsquo tenure
One night however they thought it was The operator at the White House mistakenly hit the ldquoAlertrdquo button Marine One was in the air in five minutes
Although ground control had not spotted any enemy aircraft the operation was under way As Marine One closed in on the White House the operator at fault tried to alert everyone of his mistake but unfortunately used a poor choice of words to call off the operation
Adams chuckles as he says ldquoThe fella said lsquoThis is not an exercisersquo He was moved to another post i thinkrdquo
All levity aside the position required
the same kind of focus demanded of Adams in vietnam though it came in a different form
ldquoThere were three things the way you operated the aircraft and they were in this order safety comfort and speed Safety never gave in to comfort or speedrdquo says Adams ldquoOur job was just concentrating on doing our job it could have been anybody mdash we would do it the same way it could have been Fred Flintstone
ldquoThe difference between flying for the White House and in vietnam was we were flying a premier aircraft We had to keep it impeccably clean everything was scripted We had to have the lsquoopen-the-door timersquo down to two to four seconds in vietnam it was the stress of performing medevacs under fire or dropping troops under heavy artillery For Marine One it was the stress of doing the job rightrdquo
Also the stress of being away from onersquos family 200 days of the year wore on a Marine One pilot in 1974 after four years on the job the toll became too much and Adams stepped down
He would stay with the Marines for eight more years retiring in August 1982
By then he had received 44 Air Medals including the Joint Service Commendation and the Presidential Service Badge in his 20 years of service Adams flew seven different helicopters and five different fixed-wing planes
What makes an elite military pilot ldquoPilots who donrsquot have any misgivingsrdquo says Adams ldquoTheyrsquore totally prepared they know their aircraftrdquo
When talking about his colleagues on Marine One he adds ldquoNone were boasters They might brag about a great landing but they did not brag in spite of someone elserdquo
What did Adams love most about his flying days ldquoi enjoyed flying with the latest technology and the pristine quality of Marine One i loved the process of building my skills i could have flown another 40 years and i would still be learning thingsrdquo
is it any surprise his favorite hobby now is fly fishing

it is astonishing in many ways mdash that we are presented with two weeks of top-drawer music performed by top-drawer musi-cians that there are so many ways to encounter the music (many of them free) and that a rural community has provided the incu-
bator for such a cultural undertaking to name but a fewGranted we are not your average rural community having two
colleges a university a symphony a choral society a community band and music in the schools but letrsquos face it wersquore not exactly a cosmopolitan center of culture like New york either The Cham-ber Music Festival mdash and our continued support of it through some tough times mdash puts us in a category all our own

worked hard to start this event and to my great joy it has taken on an iden-tity of its own i hire the musicians and choose the music but the town its people and its environs make the festivalrdquo
The beauty of chamber music is its intimacy mdash smaller ensembles performing for smaller audiences it has been referred to as ldquothe music of friendsrdquo which seems so apt at this festival Free open rehearsals are held around town that provide not only a musical atmosphere in which to enjoy a latte or the ambiance of the kirkman House but which give a richer look into the machinations of a working ensemble
As one enthusiastic fan puts it ldquoi am not a musician and itrsquos fascinat-ing to watch these rehearsals to see the interactions of the musicians as they work out the snags make wry remarks and relate to each other in a whole different way than during a for-mal performance i get a glimpse into their personalities and what makes them tickrdquo
The festival supplies a generous of-fering of venues with free concerts for children and families relaxed evening programs at wineries and full concerts at the Foundry Chism Hall and Day-tonrsquos Liberty Theater
if you are lucky enough to live near the musiciansrsquo lodgings while they are in town you may also be treated to an ad hoc front-porch concert as the ensembles continue their rehearsals in more private settings The festival is about all of these ways mdash planned and accidental mdash to experience the enchantment of chamber music
it is also about historic continuity and the connection between past and present mdash relishing the existing canon while expanding the genre with con-temporary forms and voices
How is this accomplished in part by the annual commission of a new piece of music for the festival Chris-tie is committed to contributing to the broader chamber music repertoire and to providing the audience with the richest possible experience

ldquoFor classical music to be relevant there must be a conversation between the music of our time and the music of the pastrdquo he says
By commissioning a work for the festi-val each year Christie creates such a con-versation
This year the commission was given to John David Earnest Four festival commis-sions have preceded his and he is the sec-ond ldquolocalrdquo composer to be tapped add-ing another layer of relationship between community and event (in 2009 Whitman College professor David Glenn was given the nod)
As visiting adjunct professor of music at Whitman Earnest resides here for six weeks every semester His ldquoSecond Sym-phonyrdquo was written for and performed by the Walla Walla Symphony in October 2001
The challenge for the yearly commis-sionee is to compose a piece on demand within specific constraints of time place and instrumentation while expressing hisher own voice as an artist
Earnest has created ldquoCommedia Gal-leryrdquo a set of three movements for flute
viola and harp based on stock characters from the Commedia dellrsquoArte a popu-lar theatrical form that was influential in Europe for over 300 years Commedia characters improvised dialogue around set scenarios generally involving the struggles of young lovers to overcome hindrances to their romance and each character even-tually came to have a consistent set of at-tributes in speech mannerisms and cos-tume
Earnestrsquos ldquoGalleryrdquo gives us Arlecchi-no (Harlequin) an acrobatic and devious jester Pierrot the classic sad clown and finally Scaramouche a dandy and a brag-gart who is a coward at heart
in anticipation of this yearrsquos festival i am reminded of the scene in ldquoThe Music Manrdquo in which the town awaits the ar-rival of the Wells Fargo Wagon Potentially heaped with gifts and surprises it prom-ises connection to the larger world The WWCMF brings us all ldquosomethinrsquo specialrdquo mdash an enrichment of our community and our culture

Smith has gardened for years at his home at 38 Mulberry Court in College Place He used to grow vegetables and flowers now he is strictly focusing on flowers mdash with fabulous results roses delphiniums and lots of irises line the fence
ldquoirises mdash irsquove always enjoyed themrdquo he says ldquoThey take a little bit of weeding and watering but not much morerdquo itrsquos the gardenerrsquos dream mdash low maintenance with a big return
A retired orthopedic surgeon Smith has in the past gardened more extensively than he does now But he has enough plants to keep him busy His new project is planting more of the reblooming iris These are still hardy but you get twice the reward they bloom in the spring then again in the fall
ldquoTheyrsquore easy to grow and spectacular for a short time iris take less care than a lot of thingsrdquo Smith says
His secret for gardening is simple and therersquos no getting around it ldquoTime and workrdquo he laughs
Hersquos getting ready to start in the garden ldquoi need to clean out the leaves and the old foliage of the irisrdquo
in addition to the basic cleaning and maintenance Smith just decides how many plants to keep Bulb flowers are hardy and they multiply on their own
ldquoAfter five years you usually have to separate the bulbs when they get too thick i donrsquot have room to add more i put in the new re-blooming onesrdquo he explains ldquoi may add more and a few other thingsrdquo
But in a garden you can always try something new or rearrange existing plants often with a spectacular outcome

i identify with his feeling of not belonging i was born to a single woman from Massachusetts in a New york City hospital i stayed a scant few days before being placed with an adoption agency Born in a place i had no familial connection to i was immediately deprived of my biological family Most of my childhood was spent in suburban Cleveland Ohio Moves to upstate New york New England and Pennsylvania brought me no closer to calling any place home i loved living in the western Massachusetts town of Stockbridge but the multigenerational denizens of the town left few openings for newcomers like me i lived in central Pennsylvania for several decades but felt detached from the deep roots that most people had in the area
When we came west (for my husband a homecoming to his Oregon roots for me a new experience) i noticed that even in long-established towns like Walla Walla there is ample room for newcomers who want to be
part of the community And most folks who choose to come here donrsquot seem to want to change the valley they prefer to embrace it
While the occasional newbie whines about the lack of Whole Foods or Nordstrom they soon discover our farmers markets the wide variety of local shops and boutiques and our world-class restaurants They fall in love with our charming downtowns the small-town friendliness of the people and our kid-friendly environment Then therersquos the holiday parade the fair the ever-present Blue Mountains the parks the museums the wineries mdash really whatrsquos not to like The communities of our valley represent America at its best
irsquom a newspaper junkie i love to read everything from news to sports to classifieds mdash even the obituaries The obits are a fascinating window on our valley Many of the people chronicled were born here some lived all their lives here inextricably bound to this place But a number of people came here from other places often far away and have made a mark on our area Which makes me wonder mdash is a place any less of a hometown because you choose it or is it based primarily on the happenstance of your birth it seems that therersquos room for both paths to calling this wonderful valley home
itrsquos also our strength because collectively as a community we bring both deep familial and cultural traditions as well as the fresh perspective of newcomers to our area irsquom glad mdash after decades of searching mdash that i finally found my hometown a place that feels just right

T H E A T R EPOWER HOUSE
My director Terry Edward Moore told me his only direction from the artistic director was that it be ldquoperiodrdquo that is to say authentic to the time
ldquoMerry Wivesrdquo is the only one of Shakespearersquos plays that is set in his own time so it was decided to present it as if the actors were people of the time doing what would be a contemporary (to the late 16th century) play
i started to research the clothing of the time how it was constructed and what kinds of fabrics were available at the time mdash linens homespuns woolens for the common people and silks damasks velvets and furs for the upper classes i discovered that Elizabethan society was strictly regulated in terms of social classes and upward mobility was a little-known concept Once a yeoman always a yeoman i also discovered the set of rules and regulations called ldquosumptuary lawsrdquo which specifically dictated what types of fabrics trims furs and even what colors each class was allowed to wear
Since there are three distinct classes represented in ldquoMerry Wivesrdquo mdash merchant class soldiers and servants mdash i tried to give each class its own color palette based on these laws The overall palette of the show is based on colors actually in use at the time
The availability of dyes was limited (except for the nobility) so the palette consists of many shades of yellows and browns russets black some greens and blue-grays and of course wheat-colored unbleached linen i turned to the Dutch painter Brueghel for inspiration on how the common people looked and dressed
i also researched what kinds of dyes were used and where they came from Dyes were created from all sorts of different things such as walnut shell crushed beetles and all kinds of roots i found a website that sells these authentic dyestuffs so irsquom using the real thing to dye some of the linen pieces and will coordinate the contemporary fabrics to these authentic colors
Nearly every piece will need something done to it mdash altered in some way to fit the actor re-trimmed rigged invisibly for quick changes etc mdash so there is a lot of labor involved Also hats were a hugely important part of Elizabethan fashion all the way down to the poorest serf
Certain styles of hats were often associated with certain professions mdash eg doctors scholars mdash so there are a number of hats to build as well as headpieces for the women No self-respecting woman went about with her head uncovered
Putting together a show like this is like putting together a giant jigsaw puzzle and the pieces are the costumes that irsquove borrowed and rented from other theater companies in the Seattle area such as Seattle repertory Seattle Opera and the University of Washington as well as pieces from Oregon Shakespeare Festival i design the show and then go out into the world and try to find pieces that approximate my designs and palette as closely as possible (usually with some reworking first) The pieces that i cant find and dont want to compromise on i build from scratch

But thatrsquos exactly what longtime Walla Walla resident Larry Adams did for four years He was one of a select group of pilots for Marine One the helicopter counterpart of the presidential airplane Air Force One from 1970 to 1974

Long before Adams became the Walla Walla Airport manager he was transporting heads of state foreign dignitaries famous (and now infamous) Cabinet members the executive staff and President richard M Nixon during one of the nationrsquos most turbulent times the withdrawal from vietnam and the Watergate scandal
But to Adams a native of Northern idaho all that swirled around the Nixon presidency was the least of his concerns His job was to transport the president safely to Andrews Air Force Base or Camp David or fly any short flight required Safety always at a premium End of story
Many times Adams ferried President Nixon and his staff on short flights far away from home Air Force One might fly President Nixon to a summit or a meeting with a foreign head of state but Marine One and Adams were always nearby to shuttle the chief executive on short flights or to whisk him away from sudden danger
Pretty heady stuff for a fourth-grade teacher who had never thought about flying until a Marine recruiter offered him the opportunity Although Adams had watched planes take off and land at a nearby air base as a child he had never given serious thought to flying it was more a need for a bigger paycheck than passion that brought Adams to his destiny
He liked teaching but it just wasnrsquot paying the bills So Adams turned to the military and the Gi Bill After being unimpressed by other recruiters Adams took a liking to the fellow from the Marines for as Adams recalls the recruiter took an interest in him After about an hour of talking the recruiter suggested Adams might have the potential to be a pilot
Having easily passed some preliminary tests Adams was sent to flight school in Pensacola Fla and a stellar career was ready to take off He performed well in all the aircraft he piloted but he showed a special skill for helicopters
Up until 1965 fixed-wing airplanes were the staple of all military air combat But the military had been gearing up for a big change The helicopter was to become a major part of combat The Pentagon had been developing helicopters that would do much more than transport troops to bases Now they would assist in bombing
raids ground attacks and the evacuation of the injured from the point of combat This new breed of helicopters would also possess the ability to fight back and not be lame ducks as before the new H34 would tote machine guns on each side
These cutting-edge aircraft would travel at unprecedented speeds with newly discovered agility Gifted pilots were needed not those who merely possessed superior technical skills but those who also had the composure to fly straight into
enemy fire in the dead of night picking up injured soldiers or aiding air attacks
Adams was one of those pilots and he would be one of two squadron leaders for ldquoOperation Starliterdquo mdash the first major assault using helicopters The Marines were going straight into a North vietnamese regimental stronghold No one knew what to expect
ldquoWe lost a lot that first time inrdquo says Adams ldquoTwo crew chiefs were killed

four pilots were medevaced out because of their wounds i donrsquot think there was one helicopter that didnrsquot have a bunch of holes in it The one i flew in we got a lot of rounds in it Amazingly no one was hurt but when we got back the helicopter was so shot-up you couldnrsquot fly it anymore We lost 50 percent of our helicopters that dayrdquo
in the next 13 months Adams would fly many more missions often heading straight into anti-aircraft fire to pick up injured or killed soldiers He says he would see the flares signifying where the copter was supposed to land but frequently hersquod have to veer off because ground communication would say ldquoThe artillery is too hotrdquo Then there would be a window maybe two minutes maybe five when the helicopter could drop in and pick up the injured often being shot at as it waited for its passengers
Adams knew the best way to survive was to keep his focus ldquoin the daylight when you start your run in and yoursquore getting shot at Everything went to black and white for me i didnrsquot notice the green trees or the green rice paddies until we got out of there and then it would come back
to me i donrsquot know what that was i just didnrsquot see the colors irsquove talked to some other pilots and they described the same thingrdquo
in his two tours of duty in vietnam Adams would fly 880 combat missions in several types of helicopters and fixed-wing airplanes He received numerous medals including two Navy commendations for performance under combat conditions
Then the call came to fly for the president Before Adams could tote the commander in chief around in Marine One a thorough background check had to be done So thorough was the check that Adams said a friend from his hometown sent him a card that read ldquoAre you in some kind of trouble Jesus therersquos been a bunch of people around here with the dark grey suits and the skinny little ties Theyrsquore asking all these embarrassing questions about you like did you have drinking problem Did you have a gambling problem Do you know what Larryrsquos sexual preference wasrdquo
Adams chuckles ldquoit was pretty funnyrdquoAdams passed the grade and soon
he was flying President Nixon and his family to Camp David or picking up vice
President Spiro Agnew at the Pentagon or taking Secretary of State Henry kissinger or Secretary of Defense Alexander Haig to a classified meeting Although his flights varied from transporting foreign heads of state to flying members of the press the majority involved the president the vice president kissinger and Haig
The pilots did not speak to their travelers unless spoken to says Adams President Nixon usually looked in and asked them how they were kissinger never spoke Haig was good for a pat on the shoulder now and then but it was Agnew who conversed the most says Adams
Adams remembers ldquoOne time we picked him up at the Pentagon and we had taken off and had hit top altitude He usually would come up and look into the cockpit but this time he patted me on the shoulder and asked lsquoWell howrsquos it going today guysrsquordquo Adams replied ldquoNot bad sir and how about yourselfrdquo
Agnew answered ldquoMan they are really after my assrdquo He was talking about the press Adams says ldquoTwo weeks later he resignedrdquo
Adams recalls that his encounters with Agnew as defying the public perception
Adams far right gives instructions before a mission in Vietnam
Walla Walla LifestyLes 33
that Agnew was arrogant ldquoHe was always one of the nicest guys He was straightforward He looked like he had just stepped off the cover of Gentlemenrsquos Quarterly all the time He was very proper in the way he dressed but he had a sense of humor as wellrdquo
There were other humorous moments Adams recalls a certain reporter from CBS who had been a major thorn in President Nixonrsquos side was late for takeoff from the South Lawn of the White House one morning Just as Marine One was about to leave without him he came running across the lawn hollering and waving his arms The Secret Service agent supervising the flight told Adams to ldquojust gordquo The wind from the propellers whipped the reporterrsquos toupee right off his head and instead of continuing his run toward Marine One he reversed his field and tried feverishly to retrieve his toupee snagged in the hedges
ldquoEveryone got a pretty good chuckle out of thatrdquo
Of course there were somber times At one point Adams flew Cabinet members John Ehrlichman and Hr Haldeman to Camp David for a meeting with the president After only 15 minutes the two men returned and Marine One headed home Adams says it was a quiet flight He found out later the two men had been fired by President Nixon for their parts in the Watergate scandal
Whisking the president away from danger was a major part of being a pilot of Marine One Stationed across the river from the Capitol pilots awakened by an emergency alert had to be up in the air in five minutes This exercise was practiced often though never needed during Adamsrsquo tenure
One night however they thought it was The operator at the White House mistakenly hit the ldquoAlertrdquo button Marine One was in the air in five minutes
Although ground control had not spotted any enemy aircraft the operation was under way As Marine One closed in on the White House the operator at fault tried to alert everyone of his mistake but unfortunately used a poor choice of words to call off the operation
Adams chuckles as he says ldquoThe fella said lsquoThis is not an exercisersquo He was moved to another post i thinkrdquo
All levity aside the position required
the same kind of focus demanded of Adams in vietnam though it came in a different form
ldquoThere were three things the way you operated the aircraft and they were in this order safety comfort and speed Safety never gave in to comfort or speedrdquo says Adams ldquoOur job was just concentrating on doing our job it could have been anybody mdash we would do it the same way it could have been Fred Flintstone
ldquoThe difference between flying for the White House and in vietnam was we were flying a premier aircraft We had to keep it impeccably clean everything was scripted We had to have the lsquoopen-the-door timersquo down to two to four seconds in vietnam it was the stress of performing medevacs under fire or dropping troops under heavy artillery For Marine One it was the stress of doing the job rightrdquo
Also the stress of being away from onersquos family 200 days of the year wore on a Marine One pilot in 1974 after four years on the job the toll became too much and Adams stepped down
He would stay with the Marines for eight more years retiring in August 1982
By then he had received 44 Air Medals including the Joint Service Commendation and the Presidential Service Badge in his 20 years of service Adams flew seven different helicopters and five different fixed-wing planes
What makes an elite military pilot ldquoPilots who donrsquot have any misgivingsrdquo says Adams ldquoTheyrsquore totally prepared they know their aircraftrdquo
When talking about his colleagues on Marine One he adds ldquoNone were boasters They might brag about a great landing but they did not brag in spite of someone elserdquo
What did Adams love most about his flying days ldquoi enjoyed flying with the latest technology and the pristine quality of Marine One i loved the process of building my skills i could have flown another 40 years and i would still be learning thingsrdquo
is it any surprise his favorite hobby now is fly fishing

it is astonishing in many ways mdash that we are presented with two weeks of top-drawer music performed by top-drawer musi-cians that there are so many ways to encounter the music (many of them free) and that a rural community has provided the incu-
bator for such a cultural undertaking to name but a fewGranted we are not your average rural community having two
colleges a university a symphony a choral society a community band and music in the schools but letrsquos face it wersquore not exactly a cosmopolitan center of culture like New york either The Cham-ber Music Festival mdash and our continued support of it through some tough times mdash puts us in a category all our own

worked hard to start this event and to my great joy it has taken on an iden-tity of its own i hire the musicians and choose the music but the town its people and its environs make the festivalrdquo
The beauty of chamber music is its intimacy mdash smaller ensembles performing for smaller audiences it has been referred to as ldquothe music of friendsrdquo which seems so apt at this festival Free open rehearsals are held around town that provide not only a musical atmosphere in which to enjoy a latte or the ambiance of the kirkman House but which give a richer look into the machinations of a working ensemble
As one enthusiastic fan puts it ldquoi am not a musician and itrsquos fascinat-ing to watch these rehearsals to see the interactions of the musicians as they work out the snags make wry remarks and relate to each other in a whole different way than during a for-mal performance i get a glimpse into their personalities and what makes them tickrdquo
The festival supplies a generous of-fering of venues with free concerts for children and families relaxed evening programs at wineries and full concerts at the Foundry Chism Hall and Day-tonrsquos Liberty Theater
if you are lucky enough to live near the musiciansrsquo lodgings while they are in town you may also be treated to an ad hoc front-porch concert as the ensembles continue their rehearsals in more private settings The festival is about all of these ways mdash planned and accidental mdash to experience the enchantment of chamber music
it is also about historic continuity and the connection between past and present mdash relishing the existing canon while expanding the genre with con-temporary forms and voices
How is this accomplished in part by the annual commission of a new piece of music for the festival Chris-tie is committed to contributing to the broader chamber music repertoire and to providing the audience with the richest possible experience

ldquoFor classical music to be relevant there must be a conversation between the music of our time and the music of the pastrdquo he says
By commissioning a work for the festi-val each year Christie creates such a con-versation
This year the commission was given to John David Earnest Four festival commis-sions have preceded his and he is the sec-ond ldquolocalrdquo composer to be tapped add-ing another layer of relationship between community and event (in 2009 Whitman College professor David Glenn was given the nod)
As visiting adjunct professor of music at Whitman Earnest resides here for six weeks every semester His ldquoSecond Sym-phonyrdquo was written for and performed by the Walla Walla Symphony in October 2001
The challenge for the yearly commis-sionee is to compose a piece on demand within specific constraints of time place and instrumentation while expressing hisher own voice as an artist
Earnest has created ldquoCommedia Gal-leryrdquo a set of three movements for flute
viola and harp based on stock characters from the Commedia dellrsquoArte a popu-lar theatrical form that was influential in Europe for over 300 years Commedia characters improvised dialogue around set scenarios generally involving the struggles of young lovers to overcome hindrances to their romance and each character even-tually came to have a consistent set of at-tributes in speech mannerisms and cos-tume
Earnestrsquos ldquoGalleryrdquo gives us Arlecchi-no (Harlequin) an acrobatic and devious jester Pierrot the classic sad clown and finally Scaramouche a dandy and a brag-gart who is a coward at heart
in anticipation of this yearrsquos festival i am reminded of the scene in ldquoThe Music Manrdquo in which the town awaits the ar-rival of the Wells Fargo Wagon Potentially heaped with gifts and surprises it prom-ises connection to the larger world The WWCMF brings us all ldquosomethinrsquo specialrdquo mdash an enrichment of our community and our culture

Smith has gardened for years at his home at 38 Mulberry Court in College Place He used to grow vegetables and flowers now he is strictly focusing on flowers mdash with fabulous results roses delphiniums and lots of irises line the fence
ldquoirises mdash irsquove always enjoyed themrdquo he says ldquoThey take a little bit of weeding and watering but not much morerdquo itrsquos the gardenerrsquos dream mdash low maintenance with a big return
A retired orthopedic surgeon Smith has in the past gardened more extensively than he does now But he has enough plants to keep him busy His new project is planting more of the reblooming iris These are still hardy but you get twice the reward they bloom in the spring then again in the fall
ldquoTheyrsquore easy to grow and spectacular for a short time iris take less care than a lot of thingsrdquo Smith says
His secret for gardening is simple and therersquos no getting around it ldquoTime and workrdquo he laughs
Hersquos getting ready to start in the garden ldquoi need to clean out the leaves and the old foliage of the irisrdquo
in addition to the basic cleaning and maintenance Smith just decides how many plants to keep Bulb flowers are hardy and they multiply on their own
ldquoAfter five years you usually have to separate the bulbs when they get too thick i donrsquot have room to add more i put in the new re-blooming onesrdquo he explains ldquoi may add more and a few other thingsrdquo
But in a garden you can always try something new or rearrange existing plants often with a spectacular outcome

itrsquos an odd location since it can only be seen as yoursquore leaving town but it always makes me smile This valley my adopted home is indeed a great place to be
i recently finished reading the great Western writer Wallace Stegnerrsquos book ldquoThe Sound of Mountain Waterrdquo One of his essays traces his nomadic childhood which left him feeling rootless and without a place that he felt he could call home
i identify with his feeling of not belonging i was born to a single woman from Massachusetts in a New york City hospital i stayed a scant few days before being placed with an adoption agency Born in a place i had no familial connection to i was immediately deprived of my biological family Most of my childhood was spent in suburban Cleveland Ohio Moves to upstate New york New England and Pennsylvania brought me no closer to calling any place home i loved living in the western Massachusetts town of Stockbridge but the multigenerational denizens of the town left few openings for newcomers like me i lived in central Pennsylvania for several decades but felt detached from the deep roots that most people had in the area
When we came west (for my husband a homecoming to his Oregon roots for me a new experience) i noticed that even in long-established towns like Walla Walla there is ample room for newcomers who want to be
part of the community And most folks who choose to come here donrsquot seem to want to change the valley they prefer to embrace it
While the occasional newbie whines about the lack of Whole Foods or Nordstrom they soon discover our farmers markets the wide variety of local shops and boutiques and our world-class restaurants They fall in love with our charming downtowns the small-town friendliness of the people and our kid-friendly environment Then therersquos the holiday parade the fair the ever-present Blue Mountains the parks the museums the wineries mdash really whatrsquos not to like The communities of our valley represent America at its best
irsquom a newspaper junkie i love to read everything from news to sports to classifieds mdash even the obituaries The obits are a fascinating window on our valley Many of the people chronicled were born here some lived all their lives here inextricably bound to this place But a number of people came here from other places often far away and have made a mark on our area Which makes me wonder mdash is a place any less of a hometown because you choose it or is it based primarily on the happenstance of your birth it seems that therersquos room for both paths to calling this wonderful valley home
itrsquos also our strength because collectively as a community we bring both deep familial and cultural traditions as well as the fresh perspective of newcomers to our area irsquom glad mdash after decades of searching mdash that i finally found my hometown a place that feels just right

T H E A T R EPOWER HOUSE
My director Terry Edward Moore told me his only direction from the artistic director was that it be ldquoperiodrdquo that is to say authentic to the time
ldquoMerry Wivesrdquo is the only one of Shakespearersquos plays that is set in his own time so it was decided to present it as if the actors were people of the time doing what would be a contemporary (to the late 16th century) play
i started to research the clothing of the time how it was constructed and what kinds of fabrics were available at the time mdash linens homespuns woolens for the common people and silks damasks velvets and furs for the upper classes i discovered that Elizabethan society was strictly regulated in terms of social classes and upward mobility was a little-known concept Once a yeoman always a yeoman i also discovered the set of rules and regulations called ldquosumptuary lawsrdquo which specifically dictated what types of fabrics trims furs and even what colors each class was allowed to wear
Since there are three distinct classes represented in ldquoMerry Wivesrdquo mdash merchant class soldiers and servants mdash i tried to give each class its own color palette based on these laws The overall palette of the show is based on colors actually in use at the time
The availability of dyes was limited (except for the nobility) so the palette consists of many shades of yellows and browns russets black some greens and blue-grays and of course wheat-colored unbleached linen i turned to the Dutch painter Brueghel for inspiration on how the common people looked and dressed
i also researched what kinds of dyes were used and where they came from Dyes were created from all sorts of different things such as walnut shell crushed beetles and all kinds of roots i found a website that sells these authentic dyestuffs so irsquom using the real thing to dye some of the linen pieces and will coordinate the contemporary fabrics to these authentic colors
Nearly every piece will need something done to it mdash altered in some way to fit the actor re-trimmed rigged invisibly for quick changes etc mdash so there is a lot of labor involved Also hats were a hugely important part of Elizabethan fashion all the way down to the poorest serf
Certain styles of hats were often associated with certain professions mdash eg doctors scholars mdash so there are a number of hats to build as well as headpieces for the women No self-respecting woman went about with her head uncovered
Putting together a show like this is like putting together a giant jigsaw puzzle and the pieces are the costumes that irsquove borrowed and rented from other theater companies in the Seattle area such as Seattle repertory Seattle Opera and the University of Washington as well as pieces from Oregon Shakespeare Festival i design the show and then go out into the world and try to find pieces that approximate my designs and palette as closely as possible (usually with some reworking first) The pieces that i cant find and dont want to compromise on i build from scratch

But thatrsquos exactly what longtime Walla Walla resident Larry Adams did for four years He was one of a select group of pilots for Marine One the helicopter counterpart of the presidential airplane Air Force One from 1970 to 1974

Long before Adams became the Walla Walla Airport manager he was transporting heads of state foreign dignitaries famous (and now infamous) Cabinet members the executive staff and President richard M Nixon during one of the nationrsquos most turbulent times the withdrawal from vietnam and the Watergate scandal
But to Adams a native of Northern idaho all that swirled around the Nixon presidency was the least of his concerns His job was to transport the president safely to Andrews Air Force Base or Camp David or fly any short flight required Safety always at a premium End of story
Many times Adams ferried President Nixon and his staff on short flights far away from home Air Force One might fly President Nixon to a summit or a meeting with a foreign head of state but Marine One and Adams were always nearby to shuttle the chief executive on short flights or to whisk him away from sudden danger
Pretty heady stuff for a fourth-grade teacher who had never thought about flying until a Marine recruiter offered him the opportunity Although Adams had watched planes take off and land at a nearby air base as a child he had never given serious thought to flying it was more a need for a bigger paycheck than passion that brought Adams to his destiny
He liked teaching but it just wasnrsquot paying the bills So Adams turned to the military and the Gi Bill After being unimpressed by other recruiters Adams took a liking to the fellow from the Marines for as Adams recalls the recruiter took an interest in him After about an hour of talking the recruiter suggested Adams might have the potential to be a pilot
Having easily passed some preliminary tests Adams was sent to flight school in Pensacola Fla and a stellar career was ready to take off He performed well in all the aircraft he piloted but he showed a special skill for helicopters
Up until 1965 fixed-wing airplanes were the staple of all military air combat But the military had been gearing up for a big change The helicopter was to become a major part of combat The Pentagon had been developing helicopters that would do much more than transport troops to bases Now they would assist in bombing
raids ground attacks and the evacuation of the injured from the point of combat This new breed of helicopters would also possess the ability to fight back and not be lame ducks as before the new H34 would tote machine guns on each side
These cutting-edge aircraft would travel at unprecedented speeds with newly discovered agility Gifted pilots were needed not those who merely possessed superior technical skills but those who also had the composure to fly straight into
enemy fire in the dead of night picking up injured soldiers or aiding air attacks
Adams was one of those pilots and he would be one of two squadron leaders for ldquoOperation Starliterdquo mdash the first major assault using helicopters The Marines were going straight into a North vietnamese regimental stronghold No one knew what to expect
ldquoWe lost a lot that first time inrdquo says Adams ldquoTwo crew chiefs were killed
Continued on pg 32 gt
In this newspaper clipping Larry Adams poses on the steps of the helicopter dubbed Marine One which he piloted for President Richard M Nixon

people ltcontinued from pg 31
four pilots were medevaced out because of their wounds i donrsquot think there was one helicopter that didnrsquot have a bunch of holes in it The one i flew in we got a lot of rounds in it Amazingly no one was hurt but when we got back the helicopter was so shot-up you couldnrsquot fly it anymore We lost 50 percent of our helicopters that dayrdquo
in the next 13 months Adams would fly many more missions often heading straight into anti-aircraft fire to pick up injured or killed soldiers He says he would see the flares signifying where the copter was supposed to land but frequently hersquod have to veer off because ground communication would say ldquoThe artillery is too hotrdquo Then there would be a window maybe two minutes maybe five when the helicopter could drop in and pick up the injured often being shot at as it waited for its passengers
Adams knew the best way to survive was to keep his focus ldquoin the daylight when you start your run in and yoursquore getting shot at Everything went to black and white for me i didnrsquot notice the green trees or the green rice paddies until we got out of there and then it would come back
to me i donrsquot know what that was i just didnrsquot see the colors irsquove talked to some other pilots and they described the same thingrdquo
in his two tours of duty in vietnam Adams would fly 880 combat missions in several types of helicopters and fixed-wing airplanes He received numerous medals including two Navy commendations for performance under combat conditions
Then the call came to fly for the president Before Adams could tote the commander in chief around in Marine One a thorough background check had to be done So thorough was the check that Adams said a friend from his hometown sent him a card that read ldquoAre you in some kind of trouble Jesus therersquos been a bunch of people around here with the dark grey suits and the skinny little ties Theyrsquore asking all these embarrassing questions about you like did you have drinking problem Did you have a gambling problem Do you know what Larryrsquos sexual preference wasrdquo
Adams chuckles ldquoit was pretty funnyrdquoAdams passed the grade and soon
he was flying President Nixon and his family to Camp David or picking up vice
President Spiro Agnew at the Pentagon or taking Secretary of State Henry kissinger or Secretary of Defense Alexander Haig to a classified meeting Although his flights varied from transporting foreign heads of state to flying members of the press the majority involved the president the vice president kissinger and Haig
The pilots did not speak to their travelers unless spoken to says Adams President Nixon usually looked in and asked them how they were kissinger never spoke Haig was good for a pat on the shoulder now and then but it was Agnew who conversed the most says Adams
Adams remembers ldquoOne time we picked him up at the Pentagon and we had taken off and had hit top altitude He usually would come up and look into the cockpit but this time he patted me on the shoulder and asked lsquoWell howrsquos it going today guysrsquordquo Adams replied ldquoNot bad sir and how about yourselfrdquo
Agnew answered ldquoMan they are really after my assrdquo He was talking about the press Adams says ldquoTwo weeks later he resignedrdquo
Adams recalls that his encounters with Agnew as defying the public perception
Adams far right gives instructions before a mission in Vietnam
Walla Walla LifestyLes 33
that Agnew was arrogant ldquoHe was always one of the nicest guys He was straightforward He looked like he had just stepped off the cover of Gentlemenrsquos Quarterly all the time He was very proper in the way he dressed but he had a sense of humor as wellrdquo
There were other humorous moments Adams recalls a certain reporter from CBS who had been a major thorn in President Nixonrsquos side was late for takeoff from the South Lawn of the White House one morning Just as Marine One was about to leave without him he came running across the lawn hollering and waving his arms The Secret Service agent supervising the flight told Adams to ldquojust gordquo The wind from the propellers whipped the reporterrsquos toupee right off his head and instead of continuing his run toward Marine One he reversed his field and tried feverishly to retrieve his toupee snagged in the hedges
ldquoEveryone got a pretty good chuckle out of thatrdquo
Of course there were somber times At one point Adams flew Cabinet members John Ehrlichman and Hr Haldeman to Camp David for a meeting with the president After only 15 minutes the two men returned and Marine One headed home Adams says it was a quiet flight He found out later the two men had been fired by President Nixon for their parts in the Watergate scandal
Whisking the president away from danger was a major part of being a pilot of Marine One Stationed across the river from the Capitol pilots awakened by an emergency alert had to be up in the air in five minutes This exercise was practiced often though never needed during Adamsrsquo tenure
One night however they thought it was The operator at the White House mistakenly hit the ldquoAlertrdquo button Marine One was in the air in five minutes
Although ground control had not spotted any enemy aircraft the operation was under way As Marine One closed in on the White House the operator at fault tried to alert everyone of his mistake but unfortunately used a poor choice of words to call off the operation
Adams chuckles as he says ldquoThe fella said lsquoThis is not an exercisersquo He was moved to another post i thinkrdquo
All levity aside the position required
the same kind of focus demanded of Adams in vietnam though it came in a different form
ldquoThere were three things the way you operated the aircraft and they were in this order safety comfort and speed Safety never gave in to comfort or speedrdquo says Adams ldquoOur job was just concentrating on doing our job it could have been anybody mdash we would do it the same way it could have been Fred Flintstone
ldquoThe difference between flying for the White House and in vietnam was we were flying a premier aircraft We had to keep it impeccably clean everything was scripted We had to have the lsquoopen-the-door timersquo down to two to four seconds in vietnam it was the stress of performing medevacs under fire or dropping troops under heavy artillery For Marine One it was the stress of doing the job rightrdquo
Also the stress of being away from onersquos family 200 days of the year wore on a Marine One pilot in 1974 after four years on the job the toll became too much and Adams stepped down
He would stay with the Marines for eight more years retiring in August 1982
By then he had received 44 Air Medals including the Joint Service Commendation and the Presidential Service Badge in his 20 years of service Adams flew seven different helicopters and five different fixed-wing planes
What makes an elite military pilot ldquoPilots who donrsquot have any misgivingsrdquo says Adams ldquoTheyrsquore totally prepared they know their aircraftrdquo
When talking about his colleagues on Marine One he adds ldquoNone were boasters They might brag about a great landing but they did not brag in spite of someone elserdquo
What did Adams love most about his flying days ldquoi enjoyed flying with the latest technology and the pristine quality of Marine One i loved the process of building my skills i could have flown another 40 years and i would still be learning thingsrdquo
is it any surprise his favorite hobby now is fly fishing

it is astonishing in many ways mdash that we are presented with two weeks of top-drawer music performed by top-drawer musi-cians that there are so many ways to encounter the music (many of them free) and that a rural community has provided the incu-
bator for such a cultural undertaking to name but a fewGranted we are not your average rural community having two
colleges a university a symphony a choral society a community band and music in the schools but letrsquos face it wersquore not exactly a cosmopolitan center of culture like New york either The Cham-ber Music Festival mdash and our continued support of it through some tough times mdash puts us in a category all our own

worked hard to start this event and to my great joy it has taken on an iden-tity of its own i hire the musicians and choose the music but the town its people and its environs make the festivalrdquo
The beauty of chamber music is its intimacy mdash smaller ensembles performing for smaller audiences it has been referred to as ldquothe music of friendsrdquo which seems so apt at this festival Free open rehearsals are held around town that provide not only a musical atmosphere in which to enjoy a latte or the ambiance of the kirkman House but which give a richer look into the machinations of a working ensemble
As one enthusiastic fan puts it ldquoi am not a musician and itrsquos fascinat-ing to watch these rehearsals to see the interactions of the musicians as they work out the snags make wry remarks and relate to each other in a whole different way than during a for-mal performance i get a glimpse into their personalities and what makes them tickrdquo
The festival supplies a generous of-fering of venues with free concerts for children and families relaxed evening programs at wineries and full concerts at the Foundry Chism Hall and Day-tonrsquos Liberty Theater
if you are lucky enough to live near the musiciansrsquo lodgings while they are in town you may also be treated to an ad hoc front-porch concert as the ensembles continue their rehearsals in more private settings The festival is about all of these ways mdash planned and accidental mdash to experience the enchantment of chamber music
it is also about historic continuity and the connection between past and present mdash relishing the existing canon while expanding the genre with con-temporary forms and voices
How is this accomplished in part by the annual commission of a new piece of music for the festival Chris-tie is committed to contributing to the broader chamber music repertoire and to providing the audience with the richest possible experience

ldquoFor classical music to be relevant there must be a conversation between the music of our time and the music of the pastrdquo he says
By commissioning a work for the festi-val each year Christie creates such a con-versation
This year the commission was given to John David Earnest Four festival commis-sions have preceded his and he is the sec-ond ldquolocalrdquo composer to be tapped add-ing another layer of relationship between community and event (in 2009 Whitman College professor David Glenn was given the nod)
As visiting adjunct professor of music at Whitman Earnest resides here for six weeks every semester His ldquoSecond Sym-phonyrdquo was written for and performed by the Walla Walla Symphony in October 2001
The challenge for the yearly commis-sionee is to compose a piece on demand within specific constraints of time place and instrumentation while expressing hisher own voice as an artist
Earnest has created ldquoCommedia Gal-leryrdquo a set of three movements for flute
viola and harp based on stock characters from the Commedia dellrsquoArte a popu-lar theatrical form that was influential in Europe for over 300 years Commedia characters improvised dialogue around set scenarios generally involving the struggles of young lovers to overcome hindrances to their romance and each character even-tually came to have a consistent set of at-tributes in speech mannerisms and cos-tume

Smith has gardened for years at his home at 38 Mulberry Court in College Place He used to grow vegetables and flowers now he is strictly focusing on flowers mdash with fabulous results roses delphiniums and lots of irises line the fence
ldquoirises mdash irsquove always enjoyed themrdquo he says ldquoThey take a little bit of weeding and watering but not much morerdquo itrsquos the gardenerrsquos dream mdash low maintenance with a big return
A retired orthopedic surgeon Smith has in the past gardened more extensively than he does now But he has enough plants to keep him busy His new project is planting more of the reblooming iris These are still hardy but you get twice the reward they bloom in the spring then again in the fall
ldquoTheyrsquore easy to grow and spectacular for a short time iris take less care than a lot of thingsrdquo Smith says
His secret for gardening is simple and therersquos no getting around it ldquoTime and workrdquo he laughs
Hersquos getting ready to start in the garden ldquoi need to clean out the leaves and the old foliage of the irisrdquo
in addition to the basic cleaning and maintenance Smith just decides how many plants to keep Bulb flowers are hardy and they multiply on their own
ldquoAfter five years you usually have to separate the bulbs when they get too thick i donrsquot have room to add more i put in the new re-blooming onesrdquo he explains ldquoi may add more and a few other thingsrdquo
But in a garden you can always try something new or rearrange existing plants often with a spectacular outcome

itrsquos an odd location since it can only be seen as yoursquore leaving town but it always makes me smile This valley my adopted home is indeed a great place to be
i recently finished reading the great Western writer Wallace Stegnerrsquos book ldquoThe Sound of Mountain Waterrdquo One of his essays traces his nomadic childhood which left him feeling rootless and without a place that he felt he could call home
i identify with his feeling of not belonging i was born to a single woman from Massachusetts in a New york City hospital i stayed a scant few days before being placed with an adoption agency Born in a place i had no familial connection to i was immediately deprived of my biological family Most of my childhood was spent in suburban Cleveland Ohio Moves to upstate New york New England and Pennsylvania brought me no closer to calling any place home i loved living in the western Massachusetts town of Stockbridge but the multigenerational denizens of the town left few openings for newcomers like me i lived in central Pennsylvania for several decades but felt detached from the deep roots that most people had in the area
When we came west (for my husband a homecoming to his Oregon roots for me a new experience) i noticed that even in long-established towns like Walla Walla there is ample room for newcomers who want to be
part of the community And most folks who choose to come here donrsquot seem to want to change the valley they prefer to embrace it
While the occasional newbie whines about the lack of Whole Foods or Nordstrom they soon discover our farmers markets the wide variety of local shops and boutiques and our world-class restaurants They fall in love with our charming downtowns the small-town friendliness of the people and our kid-friendly environment Then therersquos the holiday parade the fair the ever-present Blue Mountains the parks the museums the wineries mdash really whatrsquos not to like The communities of our valley represent America at its best
irsquom a newspaper junkie i love to read everything from news to sports to classifieds mdash even the obituaries The obits are a fascinating window on our valley Many of the people chronicled were born here some lived all their lives here inextricably bound to this place But a number of people came here from other places often far away and have made a mark on our area Which makes me wonder mdash is a place any less of a hometown because you choose it or is it based primarily on the happenstance of your birth it seems that therersquos room for both paths to calling this wonderful valley home
itrsquos also our strength because collectively as a community we bring both deep familial and cultural traditions as well as the fresh perspective of newcomers to our area irsquom glad mdash after decades of searching mdash that i finally found my hometown a place that feels just right

My director Terry Edward Moore told me his only direction from the artistic director was that it be ldquoperiodrdquo that is to say authentic to the time
ldquoMerry Wivesrdquo is the only one of Shakespearersquos plays that is set in his own time so it was decided to present it as if the actors were people of the time doing what would be a contemporary (to the late 16th century) play
i started to research the clothing of the time how it was constructed and what kinds of fabrics were available at the time mdash linens homespuns woolens for the common people and silks damasks velvets and furs for the upper classes i discovered that Elizabethan society was strictly regulated in terms of social classes and upward mobility was a little-known concept Once a yeoman always a yeoman i also discovered the set of rules and regulations called ldquosumptuary lawsrdquo which specifically dictated what types of fabrics trims furs and even what colors each class was allowed to wear
Since there are three distinct classes represented in ldquoMerry Wivesrdquo mdash merchant class soldiers and servants mdash i tried to give each class its own color palette based on these laws The overall palette of the show is based on colors actually in use at the time
The availability of dyes was limited (except for the nobility) so the palette consists of many shades of yellows and browns russets black some greens and blue-grays and of course wheat-colored unbleached linen i turned to the Dutch painter Brueghel for inspiration on how the common people looked and dressed
i also researched what kinds of dyes were used and where they came from Dyes were created from all sorts of different things such as walnut shell crushed beetles and all kinds of roots i found a website that sells these authentic dyestuffs so irsquom using the real thing to dye some of the linen pieces and will coordinate the contemporary fabrics to these authentic colors
Nearly every piece will need something done to it mdash altered in some way to fit the actor re-trimmed rigged invisibly for quick changes etc mdash so there is a lot of labor involved Also hats were a hugely important part of Elizabethan fashion all the way down to the poorest serf
Certain styles of hats were often associated with certain professions mdash eg doctors scholars mdash so there are a number of hats to build as well as headpieces for the women No self-respecting woman went about with her head uncovered
Putting together a show like this is like putting together a giant jigsaw puzzle and the pieces are the costumes that irsquove borrowed and rented from other theater companies in the Seattle area such as Seattle repertory Seattle Opera and the University of Washington as well as pieces from Oregon Shakespeare Festival i design the show and then go out into the world and try to find pieces that approximate my designs and palette as closely as possible (usually with some reworking first) The pieces that i cant find and dont want to compromise on i build from scratch

But thatrsquos exactly what longtime Walla Walla resident Larry Adams did for four years He was one of a select group of pilots for Marine One the helicopter counterpart of the presidential airplane Air Force One from 1970 to 1974

Long before Adams became the Walla Walla Airport manager he was transporting heads of state foreign dignitaries famous (and now infamous) Cabinet members the executive staff and President richard M Nixon during one of the nationrsquos most turbulent times the withdrawal from vietnam and the Watergate scandal
But to Adams a native of Northern idaho all that swirled around the Nixon presidency was the least of his concerns His job was to transport the president safely to Andrews Air Force Base or Camp David or fly any short flight required Safety always at a premium End of story
Many times Adams ferried President Nixon and his staff on short flights far away from home Air Force One might fly President Nixon to a summit or a meeting with a foreign head of state but Marine One and Adams were always nearby to shuttle the chief executive on short flights or to whisk him away from sudden danger
Pretty heady stuff for a fourth-grade teacher who had never thought about flying until a Marine recruiter offered him the opportunity Although Adams had watched planes take off and land at a nearby air base as a child he had never given serious thought to flying it was more a need for a bigger paycheck than passion that brought Adams to his destiny
He liked teaching but it just wasnrsquot paying the bills So Adams turned to the military and the Gi Bill After being unimpressed by other recruiters Adams took a liking to the fellow from the Marines for as Adams recalls the recruiter took an interest in him After about an hour of talking the recruiter suggested Adams might have the potential to be a pilot
Having easily passed some preliminary tests Adams was sent to flight school in Pensacola Fla and a stellar career was ready to take off He performed well in all the aircraft he piloted but he showed a special skill for helicopters
Up until 1965 fixed-wing airplanes were the staple of all military air combat But the military had been gearing up for a big change The helicopter was to become a major part of combat The Pentagon had been developing helicopters that would do much more than transport troops to bases Now they would assist in bombing
raids ground attacks and the evacuation of the injured from the point of combat This new breed of helicopters would also possess the ability to fight back and not be lame ducks as before the new H34 would tote machine guns on each side
These cutting-edge aircraft would travel at unprecedented speeds with newly discovered agility Gifted pilots were needed not those who merely possessed superior technical skills but those who also had the composure to fly straight into
enemy fire in the dead of night picking up injured soldiers or aiding air attacks
Adams was one of those pilots and he would be one of two squadron leaders for ldquoOperation Starliterdquo mdash the first major assault using helicopters The Marines were going straight into a North vietnamese regimental stronghold No one knew what to expect
ldquoWe lost a lot that first time inrdquo says Adams ldquoTwo crew chiefs were killed

people ltcontinued from pg 31
four pilots were medevaced out because of their wounds i donrsquot think there was one helicopter that didnrsquot have a bunch of holes in it The one i flew in we got a lot of rounds in it Amazingly no one was hurt but when we got back the helicopter was so shot-up you couldnrsquot fly it anymore We lost 50 percent of our helicopters that dayrdquo
in the next 13 months Adams would fly many more missions often heading straight into anti-aircraft fire to pick up injured or killed soldiers He says he would see the flares signifying where the copter was supposed to land but frequently hersquod have to veer off because ground communication would say ldquoThe artillery is too hotrdquo Then there would be a window maybe two minutes maybe five when the helicopter could drop in and pick up the injured often being shot at as it waited for its passengers
Adams knew the best way to survive was to keep his focus ldquoin the daylight when you start your run in and yoursquore getting shot at Everything went to black and white for me i didnrsquot notice the green trees or the green rice paddies until we got out of there and then it would come back
to me i donrsquot know what that was i just didnrsquot see the colors irsquove talked to some other pilots and they described the same thingrdquo
in his two tours of duty in vietnam Adams would fly 880 combat missions in several types of helicopters and fixed-wing airplanes He received numerous medals including two Navy commendations for performance under combat conditions
Then the call came to fly for the president Before Adams could tote the commander in chief around in Marine One a thorough background check had to be done So thorough was the check that Adams said a friend from his hometown sent him a card that read ldquoAre you in some kind of trouble Jesus therersquos been a bunch of people around here with the dark grey suits and the skinny little ties Theyrsquore asking all these embarrassing questions about you like did you have drinking problem Did you have a gambling problem Do you know what Larryrsquos sexual preference wasrdquo
Adams chuckles ldquoit was pretty funnyrdquoAdams passed the grade and soon
he was flying President Nixon and his family to Camp David or picking up vice
President Spiro Agnew at the Pentagon or taking Secretary of State Henry kissinger or Secretary of Defense Alexander Haig to a classified meeting Although his flights varied from transporting foreign heads of state to flying members of the press the majority involved the president the vice president kissinger and Haig
The pilots did not speak to their travelers unless spoken to says Adams President Nixon usually looked in and asked them how they were kissinger never spoke Haig was good for a pat on the shoulder now and then but it was Agnew who conversed the most says Adams
Adams remembers ldquoOne time we picked him up at the Pentagon and we had taken off and had hit top altitude He usually would come up and look into the cockpit but this time he patted me on the shoulder and asked lsquoWell howrsquos it going today guysrsquordquo Adams replied ldquoNot bad sir and how about yourselfrdquo
Agnew answered ldquoMan they are really after my assrdquo He was talking about the press Adams says ldquoTwo weeks later he resignedrdquo
Adams recalls that his encounters with Agnew as defying the public perception
Adams far right gives instructions before a mission in Vietnam
Walla Walla LifestyLes 33
that Agnew was arrogant ldquoHe was always one of the nicest guys He was straightforward He looked like he had just stepped off the cover of Gentlemenrsquos Quarterly all the time He was very proper in the way he dressed but he had a sense of humor as wellrdquo
There were other humorous moments Adams recalls a certain reporter from CBS who had been a major thorn in President Nixonrsquos side was late for takeoff from the South Lawn of the White House one morning Just as Marine One was about to leave without him he came running across the lawn hollering and waving his arms The Secret Service agent supervising the flight told Adams to ldquojust gordquo The wind from the propellers whipped the reporterrsquos toupee right off his head and instead of continuing his run toward Marine One he reversed his field and tried feverishly to retrieve his toupee snagged in the hedges
ldquoEveryone got a pretty good chuckle out of thatrdquo
Of course there were somber times At one point Adams flew Cabinet members John Ehrlichman and Hr Haldeman to Camp David for a meeting with the president After only 15 minutes the two men returned and Marine One headed home Adams says it was a quiet flight He found out later the two men had been fired by President Nixon for their parts in the Watergate scandal
Whisking the president away from danger was a major part of being a pilot of Marine One Stationed across the river from the Capitol pilots awakened by an emergency alert had to be up in the air in five minutes This exercise was practiced often though never needed during Adamsrsquo tenure
One night however they thought it was The operator at the White House mistakenly hit the ldquoAlertrdquo button Marine One was in the air in five minutes
Although ground control had not spotted any enemy aircraft the operation was under way As Marine One closed in on the White House the operator at fault tried to alert everyone of his mistake but unfortunately used a poor choice of words to call off the operation
Adams chuckles as he says ldquoThe fella said lsquoThis is not an exercisersquo He was moved to another post i thinkrdquo
All levity aside the position required
the same kind of focus demanded of Adams in vietnam though it came in a different form
ldquoThere were three things the way you operated the aircraft and they were in this order safety comfort and speed Safety never gave in to comfort or speedrdquo says Adams ldquoOur job was just concentrating on doing our job it could have been anybody mdash we would do it the same way it could have been Fred Flintstone
ldquoThe difference between flying for the White House and in vietnam was we were flying a premier aircraft We had to keep it impeccably clean everything was scripted We had to have the lsquoopen-the-door timersquo down to two to four seconds in vietnam it was the stress of performing medevacs under fire or dropping troops under heavy artillery For Marine One it was the stress of doing the job rightrdquo
Also the stress of being away from onersquos family 200 days of the year wore on a Marine One pilot in 1974 after four years on the job the toll became too much and Adams stepped down
He would stay with the Marines for eight more years retiring in August 1982
By then he had received 44 Air Medals including the Joint Service Commendation and the Presidential Service Badge in his 20 years of service Adams flew seven different helicopters and five different fixed-wing planes
What makes an elite military pilot ldquoPilots who donrsquot have any misgivingsrdquo says Adams ldquoTheyrsquore totally prepared they know their aircraftrdquo
When talking about his colleagues on Marine One he adds ldquoNone were boasters They might brag about a great landing but they did not brag in spite of someone elserdquo
What did Adams love most about his flying days ldquoi enjoyed flying with the latest technology and the pristine quality of Marine One i loved the process of building my skills i could have flown another 40 years and i would still be learning thingsrdquo
is it any surprise his favorite hobby now is fly fishing

it is astonishing in many ways mdash that we are presented with two weeks of top-drawer music performed by top-drawer musi-cians that there are so many ways to encounter the music (many of them free) and that a rural community has provided the incu-
bator for such a cultural undertaking to name but a fewGranted we are not your average rural community having two
colleges a university a symphony a choral society a community band and music in the schools but letrsquos face it wersquore not exactly a cosmopolitan center of culture like New york either The Cham-ber Music Festival mdash and our continued support of it through some tough times mdash puts us in a category all our own

worked hard to start this event and to my great joy it has taken on an iden-tity of its own i hire the musicians and choose the music but the town its people and its environs make the festivalrdquo
The beauty of chamber music is its intimacy mdash smaller ensembles performing for smaller audiences it has been referred to as ldquothe music of friendsrdquo which seems so apt at this festival Free open rehearsals are held around town that provide not only a musical atmosphere in which to enjoy a latte or the ambiance of the kirkman House but which give a richer look into the machinations of a working ensemble
As one enthusiastic fan puts it ldquoi am not a musician and itrsquos fascinat-ing to watch these rehearsals to see the interactions of the musicians as they work out the snags make wry remarks and relate to each other in a whole different way than during a for-mal performance i get a glimpse into their personalities and what makes them tickrdquo
The festival supplies a generous of-fering of venues with free concerts for children and families relaxed evening programs at wineries and full concerts at the Foundry Chism Hall and Day-tonrsquos Liberty Theater
if you are lucky enough to live near the musiciansrsquo lodgings while they are in town you may also be treated to an ad hoc front-porch concert as the ensembles continue their rehearsals in more private settings The festival is about all of these ways mdash planned and accidental mdash to experience the enchantment of chamber music
it is also about historic continuity and the connection between past and present mdash relishing the existing canon while expanding the genre with con-temporary forms and voices
How is this accomplished in part by the annual commission of a new piece of music for the festival Chris-tie is committed to contributing to the broader chamber music repertoire and to providing the audience with the richest possible experience

ldquoFor classical music to be relevant there must be a conversation between the music of our time and the music of the pastrdquo he says
By commissioning a work for the festi-val each year Christie creates such a con-versation
This year the commission was given to John David Earnest Four festival commis-sions have preceded his and he is the sec-ond ldquolocalrdquo composer to be tapped add-ing another layer of relationship between community and event (in 2009 Whitman College professor David Glenn was given the nod)
As visiting adjunct professor of music at Whitman Earnest resides here for six weeks every semester His ldquoSecond Sym-phonyrdquo was written for and performed by the Walla Walla Symphony in October 2001
The challenge for the yearly commis-sionee is to compose a piece on demand within specific constraints of time place and instrumentation while expressing hisher own voice as an artist
Earnest has created ldquoCommedia Gal-leryrdquo a set of three movements for flute
viola and harp based on stock characters from the Commedia dellrsquoArte a popu-lar theatrical form that was influential in Europe for over 300 years Commedia characters improvised dialogue around set scenarios generally involving the struggles of young lovers to overcome hindrances to their romance and each character even-tually came to have a consistent set of at-tributes in speech mannerisms and cos-tume
Earnestrsquos ldquoGalleryrdquo gives us Arlecchi-no (Harlequin) an acrobatic and devious jester Pierrot the classic sad clown and finally Scaramouche a dandy and a brag-gart who is a coward at heart
in anticipation of this yearrsquos festival i am reminded of the scene in ldquoThe Music Manrdquo in which the town awaits the ar-rival of the Wells Fargo Wagon Potentially heaped with gifts and surprises it prom-ises connection to the larger world The WWCMF brings us all ldquosomethinrsquo specialrdquo mdash an enrichment of our community and our culture

Smith has gardened for years at his home at 38 Mulberry Court in College Place He used to grow vegetables and flowers now he is strictly focusing on flowers mdash with fabulous results roses delphiniums and lots of irises line the fence
ldquoirises mdash irsquove always enjoyed themrdquo he says ldquoThey take a little bit of weeding and watering but not much morerdquo itrsquos the gardenerrsquos dream mdash low maintenance with a big return
A retired orthopedic surgeon Smith has in the past gardened more extensively than he does now But he has enough plants to keep him busy His new project is planting more of the reblooming iris These are still hardy but you get twice the reward they bloom in the spring then again in the fall
ldquoTheyrsquore easy to grow and spectacular for a short time iris take less care than a lot of thingsrdquo Smith says
His secret for gardening is simple and therersquos no getting around it ldquoTime and workrdquo he laughs
Hersquos getting ready to start in the garden ldquoi need to clean out the leaves and the old foliage of the irisrdquo
in addition to the basic cleaning and maintenance Smith just decides how many plants to keep Bulb flowers are hardy and they multiply on their own
ldquoAfter five years you usually have to separate the bulbs when they get too thick i donrsquot have room to add more i put in the new re-blooming onesrdquo he explains ldquoi may add more and a few other thingsrdquo
But in a garden you can always try something new or rearrange existing plants often with a spectacular outcome

itrsquos an odd location since it can only be seen as yoursquore leaving town but it always makes me smile This valley my adopted home is indeed a great place to be
i recently finished reading the great Western writer Wallace Stegnerrsquos book ldquoThe Sound of Mountain Waterrdquo One of his essays traces his nomadic childhood which left him feeling rootless and without a place that he felt he could call home
i identify with his feeling of not belonging i was born to a single woman from Massachusetts in a New york City hospital i stayed a scant few days before being placed with an adoption agency Born in a place i had no familial connection to i was immediately deprived of my biological family Most of my childhood was spent in suburban Cleveland Ohio Moves to upstate New york New England and Pennsylvania brought me no closer to calling any place home i loved living in the western Massachusetts town of Stockbridge but the multigenerational denizens of the town left few openings for newcomers like me i lived in central Pennsylvania for several decades but felt detached from the deep roots that most people had in the area
When we came west (for my husband a homecoming to his Oregon roots for me a new experience) i noticed that even in long-established towns like Walla Walla there is ample room for newcomers who want to be
part of the community And most folks who choose to come here donrsquot seem to want to change the valley they prefer to embrace it
While the occasional newbie whines about the lack of Whole Foods or Nordstrom they soon discover our farmers markets the wide variety of local shops and boutiques and our world-class restaurants They fall in love with our charming downtowns the small-town friendliness of the people and our kid-friendly environment Then therersquos the holiday parade the fair the ever-present Blue Mountains the parks the museums the wineries mdash really whatrsquos not to like The communities of our valley represent America at its best
irsquom a newspaper junkie i love to read everything from news to sports to classifieds mdash even the obituaries The obits are a fascinating window on our valley Many of the people chronicled were born here some lived all their lives here inextricably bound to this place But a number of people came here from other places often far away and have made a mark on our area Which makes me wonder mdash is a place any less of a hometown because you choose it or is it based primarily on the happenstance of your birth it seems that therersquos room for both paths to calling this wonderful valley home
itrsquos also our strength because collectively as a community we bring both deep familial and cultural traditions as well as the fresh perspective of newcomers to our area irsquom glad mdash after decades of searching mdash that i finally found my hometown a place that feels just right

But thatrsquos exactly what longtime Walla Walla resident Larry Adams did for four years He was one of a select group of pilots for Marine One the helicopter counterpart of the presidential airplane Air Force One from 1970 to 1974

Long before Adams became the Walla Walla Airport manager he was transporting heads of state foreign dignitaries famous (and now infamous) Cabinet members the executive staff and President richard M Nixon during one of the nationrsquos most turbulent times the withdrawal from vietnam and the Watergate scandal
But to Adams a native of Northern idaho all that swirled around the Nixon presidency was the least of his concerns His job was to transport the president safely to Andrews Air Force Base or Camp David or fly any short flight required Safety always at a premium End of story
Many times Adams ferried President Nixon and his staff on short flights far away from home Air Force One might fly President Nixon to a summit or a meeting with a foreign head of state but Marine One and Adams were always nearby to shuttle the chief executive on short flights or to whisk him away from sudden danger
Pretty heady stuff for a fourth-grade teacher who had never thought about flying until a Marine recruiter offered him the opportunity Although Adams had watched planes take off and land at a nearby air base as a child he had never given serious thought to flying it was more a need for a bigger paycheck than passion that brought Adams to his destiny
He liked teaching but it just wasnrsquot paying the bills So Adams turned to the military and the Gi Bill After being unimpressed by other recruiters Adams took a liking to the fellow from the Marines for as Adams recalls the recruiter took an interest in him After about an hour of talking the recruiter suggested Adams might have the potential to be a pilot
Having easily passed some preliminary tests Adams was sent to flight school in Pensacola Fla and a stellar career was ready to take off He performed well in all the aircraft he piloted but he showed a special skill for helicopters
Up until 1965 fixed-wing airplanes were the staple of all military air combat But the military had been gearing up for a big change The helicopter was to become a major part of combat The Pentagon had been developing helicopters that would do much more than transport troops to bases Now they would assist in bombing
raids ground attacks and the evacuation of the injured from the point of combat This new breed of helicopters would also possess the ability to fight back and not be lame ducks as before the new H34 would tote machine guns on each side
These cutting-edge aircraft would travel at unprecedented speeds with newly discovered agility Gifted pilots were needed not those who merely possessed superior technical skills but those who also had the composure to fly straight into
enemy fire in the dead of night picking up injured soldiers or aiding air attacks
Adams was one of those pilots and he would be one of two squadron leaders for ldquoOperation Starliterdquo mdash the first major assault using helicopters The Marines were going straight into a North vietnamese regimental stronghold No one knew what to expect
ldquoWe lost a lot that first time inrdquo says Adams ldquoTwo crew chiefs were killed

In this newspaper clipping Larry Adams poses on the steps of the helicopter dubbed Marine One which he piloted for President Richard M Nixon

people ltcontinued from pg 31
four pilots were medevaced out because of their wounds i donrsquot think there was one helicopter that didnrsquot have a bunch of holes in it The one i flew in we got a lot of rounds in it Amazingly no one was hurt but when we got back the helicopter was so shot-up you couldnrsquot fly it anymore We lost 50 percent of our helicopters that dayrdquo
in the next 13 months Adams would fly many more missions often heading straight into anti-aircraft fire to pick up injured or killed soldiers He says he would see the flares signifying where the copter was supposed to land but frequently hersquod have to veer off because ground communication would say ldquoThe artillery is too hotrdquo Then there would be a window maybe two minutes maybe five when the helicopter could drop in and pick up the injured often being shot at as it waited for its passengers
Adams knew the best way to survive was to keep his focus ldquoin the daylight when you start your run in and yoursquore getting shot at Everything went to black and white for me i didnrsquot notice the green trees or the green rice paddies until we got out of there and then it would come back
to me i donrsquot know what that was i just didnrsquot see the colors irsquove talked to some other pilots and they described the same thingrdquo
in his two tours of duty in vietnam Adams would fly 880 combat missions in several types of helicopters and fixed-wing airplanes He received numerous medals including two Navy commendations for performance under combat conditions
Then the call came to fly for the president Before Adams could tote the commander in chief around in Marine One a thorough background check had to be done So thorough was the check that Adams said a friend from his hometown sent him a card that read ldquoAre you in some kind of trouble Jesus therersquos been a bunch of people around here with the dark grey suits and the skinny little ties Theyrsquore asking all these embarrassing questions about you like did you have drinking problem Did you have a gambling problem Do you know what Larryrsquos sexual preference wasrdquo
Adams chuckles ldquoit was pretty funnyrdquoAdams passed the grade and soon
he was flying President Nixon and his family to Camp David or picking up vice
President Spiro Agnew at the Pentagon or taking Secretary of State Henry kissinger or Secretary of Defense Alexander Haig to a classified meeting Although his flights varied from transporting foreign heads of state to flying members of the press the majority involved the president the vice president kissinger and Haig
The pilots did not speak to their travelers unless spoken to says Adams President Nixon usually looked in and asked them how they were kissinger never spoke Haig was good for a pat on the shoulder now and then but it was Agnew who conversed the most says Adams
Adams remembers ldquoOne time we picked him up at the Pentagon and we had taken off and had hit top altitude He usually would come up and look into the cockpit but this time he patted me on the shoulder and asked lsquoWell howrsquos it going today guysrsquordquo Adams replied ldquoNot bad sir and how about yourselfrdquo
Agnew answered ldquoMan they are really after my assrdquo He was talking about the press Adams says ldquoTwo weeks later he resignedrdquo
Adams recalls that his encounters with Agnew as defying the public perception
Adams far right gives instructions before a mission in Vietnam
Walla Walla LifestyLes 33
that Agnew was arrogant ldquoHe was always one of the nicest guys He was straightforward He looked like he had just stepped off the cover of Gentlemenrsquos Quarterly all the time He was very proper in the way he dressed but he had a sense of humor as wellrdquo
There were other humorous moments Adams recalls a certain reporter from CBS who had been a major thorn in President Nixonrsquos side was late for takeoff from the South Lawn of the White House one morning Just as Marine One was about to leave without him he came running across the lawn hollering and waving his arms The Secret Service agent supervising the flight told Adams to ldquojust gordquo The wind from the propellers whipped the reporterrsquos toupee right off his head and instead of continuing his run toward Marine One he reversed his field and tried feverishly to retrieve his toupee snagged in the hedges
ldquoEveryone got a pretty good chuckle out of thatrdquo
Of course there were somber times At one point Adams flew Cabinet members John Ehrlichman and Hr Haldeman to Camp David for a meeting with the president After only 15 minutes the two men returned and Marine One headed home Adams says it was a quiet flight He found out later the two men had been fired by President Nixon for their parts in the Watergate scandal
Whisking the president away from danger was a major part of being a pilot of Marine One Stationed across the river from the Capitol pilots awakened by an emergency alert had to be up in the air in five minutes This exercise was practiced often though never needed during Adamsrsquo tenure
One night however they thought it was The operator at the White House mistakenly hit the ldquoAlertrdquo button Marine One was in the air in five minutes
Although ground control had not spotted any enemy aircraft the operation was under way As Marine One closed in on the White House the operator at fault tried to alert everyone of his mistake but unfortunately used a poor choice of words to call off the operation
Adams chuckles as he says ldquoThe fella said lsquoThis is not an exercisersquo He was moved to another post i thinkrdquo
All levity aside the position required
the same kind of focus demanded of Adams in vietnam though it came in a different form
ldquoThere were three things the way you operated the aircraft and they were in this order safety comfort and speed Safety never gave in to comfort or speedrdquo says Adams ldquoOur job was just concentrating on doing our job it could have been anybody mdash we would do it the same way it could have been Fred Flintstone
ldquoThe difference between flying for the White House and in vietnam was we were flying a premier aircraft We had to keep it impeccably clean everything was scripted We had to have the lsquoopen-the-door timersquo down to two to four seconds in vietnam it was the stress of performing medevacs under fire or dropping troops under heavy artillery For Marine One it was the stress of doing the job rightrdquo
Also the stress of being away from onersquos family 200 days of the year wore on a Marine One pilot in 1974 after four years on the job the toll became too much and Adams stepped down
He would stay with the Marines for eight more years retiring in August 1982
By then he had received 44 Air Medals including the Joint Service Commendation and the Presidential Service Badge in his 20 years of service Adams flew seven different helicopters and five different fixed-wing planes
What makes an elite military pilot ldquoPilots who donrsquot have any misgivingsrdquo says Adams ldquoTheyrsquore totally prepared they know their aircraftrdquo
When talking about his colleagues on Marine One he adds ldquoNone were boasters They might brag about a great landing but they did not brag in spite of someone elserdquo
What did Adams love most about his flying days ldquoi enjoyed flying with the latest technology and the pristine quality of Marine One i loved the process of building my skills i could have flown another 40 years and i would still be learning thingsrdquo
is it any surprise his favorite hobby now is fly fishing

it is astonishing in many ways mdash that we are presented with two weeks of top-drawer music performed by top-drawer musi-cians that there are so many ways to encounter the music (many of them free) and that a rural community has provided the incu-
bator for such a cultural undertaking to name but a fewGranted we are not your average rural community having two
colleges a university a symphony a choral society a community band and music in the schools but letrsquos face it wersquore not exactly a cosmopolitan center of culture like New york either The Cham-ber Music Festival mdash and our continued support of it through some tough times mdash puts us in a category all our own

worked hard to start this event and to my great joy it has taken on an iden-tity of its own i hire the musicians and choose the music but the town its people and its environs make the festivalrdquo
The beauty of chamber music is its intimacy mdash smaller ensembles performing for smaller audiences it has been referred to as ldquothe music of friendsrdquo which seems so apt at this festival Free open rehearsals are held around town that provide not only a musical atmosphere in which to enjoy a latte or the ambiance of the kirkman House but which give a richer look into the machinations of a working ensemble
As one enthusiastic fan puts it ldquoi am not a musician and itrsquos fascinat-ing to watch these rehearsals to see the interactions of the musicians as they work out the snags make wry remarks and relate to each other in a whole different way than during a for-mal performance i get a glimpse into their personalities and what makes them tickrdquo
The festival supplies a generous of-fering of venues with free concerts for children and families relaxed evening programs at wineries and full concerts at the Foundry Chism Hall and Day-tonrsquos Liberty Theater
if you are lucky enough to live near the musiciansrsquo lodgings while they are in town you may also be treated to an ad hoc front-porch concert as the ensembles continue their rehearsals in more private settings The festival is about all of these ways mdash planned and accidental mdash to experience the enchantment of chamber music
it is also about historic continuity and the connection between past and present mdash relishing the existing canon while expanding the genre with con-temporary forms and voices
How is this accomplished in part by the annual commission of a new piece of music for the festival Chris-tie is committed to contributing to the broader chamber music repertoire and to providing the audience with the richest possible experience

ldquoFor classical music to be relevant there must be a conversation between the music of our time and the music of the pastrdquo he says
By commissioning a work for the festi-val each year Christie creates such a con-versation
This year the commission was given to John David Earnest Four festival commis-sions have preceded his and he is the sec-ond ldquolocalrdquo composer to be tapped add-ing another layer of relationship between community and event (in 2009 Whitman College professor David Glenn was given the nod)
As visiting adjunct professor of music at Whitman Earnest resides here for six weeks every semester His ldquoSecond Sym-phonyrdquo was written for and performed by the Walla Walla Symphony in October 2001
The challenge for the yearly commis-sionee is to compose a piece on demand within specific constraints of time place and instrumentation while expressing hisher own voice as an artist
Earnest has created ldquoCommedia Gal-leryrdquo a set of three movements for flute
viola and harp based on stock characters from the Commedia dellrsquoArte a popu-lar theatrical form that was influential in Europe for over 300 years Commedia characters improvised dialogue around set scenarios generally involving the struggles of young lovers to overcome hindrances to their romance and each character even-tually came to have a consistent set of at-tributes in speech mannerisms and cos-tume
Earnestrsquos ldquoGalleryrdquo gives us Arlecchi-no (Harlequin) an acrobatic and devious jester Pierrot the classic sad clown and finally Scaramouche a dandy and a brag-gart who is a coward at heart
in anticipation of this yearrsquos festival i am reminded of the scene in ldquoThe Music Manrdquo in which the town awaits the ar-rival of the Wells Fargo Wagon Potentially heaped with gifts and surprises it prom-ises connection to the larger world The WWCMF brings us all ldquosomethinrsquo specialrdquo mdash an enrichment of our community and our culture

Smith has gardened for years at his home at 38 Mulberry Court in College Place He used to grow vegetables and flowers now he is strictly focusing on flowers mdash with fabulous results roses delphiniums and lots of irises line the fence
ldquoirises mdash irsquove always enjoyed themrdquo he says ldquoThey take a little bit of weeding and watering but not much morerdquo itrsquos the gardenerrsquos dream mdash low maintenance with a big return
A retired orthopedic surgeon Smith has in the past gardened more extensively than he does now But he has enough plants to keep him busy His new project is planting more of the reblooming iris These are still hardy but you get twice the reward they bloom in the spring then again in the fall
ldquoTheyrsquore easy to grow and spectacular for a short time iris take less care than a lot of thingsrdquo Smith says
His secret for gardening is simple and therersquos no getting around it ldquoTime and workrdquo he laughs
Hersquos getting ready to start in the garden ldquoi need to clean out the leaves and the old foliage of the irisrdquo
in addition to the basic cleaning and maintenance Smith just decides how many plants to keep Bulb flowers are hardy and they multiply on their own
ldquoAfter five years you usually have to separate the bulbs when they get too thick i donrsquot have room to add more i put in the new re-blooming onesrdquo he explains ldquoi may add more and a few other thingsrdquo
But in a garden you can always try something new or rearrange existing plants often with a spectacular outcome

itrsquos an odd location since it can only be seen as yoursquore leaving town but it always makes me smile This valley my adopted home is indeed a great place to be
i recently finished reading the great Western writer Wallace Stegnerrsquos book ldquoThe Sound of Mountain Waterrdquo One of his essays traces his nomadic childhood which left him feeling rootless and without a place that he felt he could call home
i identify with his feeling of not belonging i was born to a single woman from Massachusetts in a New york City hospital i stayed a scant few days before being placed with an adoption agency Born in a place i had no familial connection to i was immediately deprived of my biological family Most of my childhood was spent in suburban Cleveland Ohio Moves to upstate New york New England and Pennsylvania brought me no closer to calling any place home i loved living in the western Massachusetts town of Stockbridge but the multigenerational denizens of the town left few openings for newcomers like me i lived in central Pennsylvania for several decades but felt detached from the deep roots that most people had in the area
When we came west (for my husband a homecoming to his Oregon roots for me a new experience) i noticed that even in long-established towns like Walla Walla there is ample room for newcomers who want to be
part of the community And most folks who choose to come here donrsquot seem to want to change the valley they prefer to embrace it
While the occasional newbie whines about the lack of Whole Foods or Nordstrom they soon discover our farmers markets the wide variety of local shops and boutiques and our world-class restaurants They fall in love with our charming downtowns the small-town friendliness of the people and our kid-friendly environment Then therersquos the holiday parade the fair the ever-present Blue Mountains the parks the museums the wineries mdash really whatrsquos not to like The communities of our valley represent America at its best
irsquom a newspaper junkie i love to read everything from news to sports to classifieds mdash even the obituaries The obits are a fascinating window on our valley Many of the people chronicled were born here some lived all their lives here inextricably bound to this place But a number of people came here from other places often far away and have made a mark on our area Which makes me wonder mdash is a place any less of a hometown because you choose it or is it based primarily on the happenstance of your birth it seems that therersquos room for both paths to calling this wonderful valley home
itrsquos also our strength because collectively as a community we bring both deep familial and cultural traditions as well as the fresh perspective of newcomers to our area irsquom glad mdash after decades of searching mdash that i finally found my hometown a place that feels just right

Long before Adams became the Walla Walla Airport manager he was transporting heads of state foreign dignitaries famous (and now infamous) Cabinet members the executive staff and President richard M Nixon during one of the nationrsquos most turbulent times the withdrawal from vietnam and the Watergate scandal
But to Adams a native of Northern idaho all that swirled around the Nixon presidency was the least of his concerns His job was to transport the president safely to Andrews Air Force Base or Camp David or fly any short flight required Safety always at a premium End of story
Many times Adams ferried President Nixon and his staff on short flights far away from home Air Force One might fly President Nixon to a summit or a meeting with a foreign head of state but Marine One and Adams were always nearby to shuttle the chief executive on short flights or to whisk him away from sudden danger
Pretty heady stuff for a fourth-grade teacher who had never thought about flying until a Marine recruiter offered him the opportunity Although Adams had watched planes take off and land at a nearby air base as a child he had never given serious thought to flying it was more a need for a bigger paycheck than passion that brought Adams to his destiny
He liked teaching but it just wasnrsquot paying the bills So Adams turned to the military and the Gi Bill After being unimpressed by other recruiters Adams took a liking to the fellow from the Marines for as Adams recalls the recruiter took an interest in him After about an hour of talking the recruiter suggested Adams might have the potential to be a pilot
Having easily passed some preliminary tests Adams was sent to flight school in Pensacola Fla and a stellar career was ready to take off He performed well in all the aircraft he piloted but he showed a special skill for helicopters
Up until 1965 fixed-wing airplanes were the staple of all military air combat But the military had been gearing up for a big change The helicopter was to become a major part of combat The Pentagon had been developing helicopters that would do much more than transport troops to bases Now they would assist in bombing
raids ground attacks and the evacuation of the injured from the point of combat This new breed of helicopters would also possess the ability to fight back and not be lame ducks as before the new H34 would tote machine guns on each side
These cutting-edge aircraft would travel at unprecedented speeds with newly discovered agility Gifted pilots were needed not those who merely possessed superior technical skills but those who also had the composure to fly straight into
enemy fire in the dead of night picking up injured soldiers or aiding air attacks
Adams was one of those pilots and he would be one of two squadron leaders for ldquoOperation Starliterdquo mdash the first major assault using helicopters The Marines were going straight into a North vietnamese regimental stronghold No one knew what to expect
ldquoWe lost a lot that first time inrdquo says Adams ldquoTwo crew chiefs were killed

people ltcontinued from pg 31
four pilots were medevaced out because of their wounds i donrsquot think there was one helicopter that didnrsquot have a bunch of holes in it The one i flew in we got a lot of rounds in it Amazingly no one was hurt but when we got back the helicopter was so shot-up you couldnrsquot fly it anymore We lost 50 percent of our helicopters that dayrdquo
in the next 13 months Adams would fly many more missions often heading straight into anti-aircraft fire to pick up injured or killed soldiers He says he would see the flares signifying where the copter was supposed to land but frequently hersquod have to veer off because ground communication would say ldquoThe artillery is too hotrdquo Then there would be a window maybe two minutes maybe five when the helicopter could drop in and pick up the injured often being shot at as it waited for its passengers
Adams knew the best way to survive was to keep his focus ldquoin the daylight when you start your run in and yoursquore getting shot at Everything went to black and white for me i didnrsquot notice the green trees or the green rice paddies until we got out of there and then it would come back
to me i donrsquot know what that was i just didnrsquot see the colors irsquove talked to some other pilots and they described the same thingrdquo
in his two tours of duty in vietnam Adams would fly 880 combat missions in several types of helicopters and fixed-wing airplanes He received numerous medals including two Navy commendations for performance under combat conditions
Then the call came to fly for the president Before Adams could tote the commander in chief around in Marine One a thorough background check had to be done So thorough was the check that Adams said a friend from his hometown sent him a card that read ldquoAre you in some kind of trouble Jesus therersquos been a bunch of people around here with the dark grey suits and the skinny little ties Theyrsquore asking all these embarrassing questions about you like did you have drinking problem Did you have a gambling problem Do you know what Larryrsquos sexual preference wasrdquo
Adams chuckles ldquoit was pretty funnyrdquoAdams passed the grade and soon
he was flying President Nixon and his family to Camp David or picking up vice
President Spiro Agnew at the Pentagon or taking Secretary of State Henry kissinger or Secretary of Defense Alexander Haig to a classified meeting Although his flights varied from transporting foreign heads of state to flying members of the press the majority involved the president the vice president kissinger and Haig
The pilots did not speak to their travelers unless spoken to says Adams President Nixon usually looked in and asked them how they were kissinger never spoke Haig was good for a pat on the shoulder now and then but it was Agnew who conversed the most says Adams
Adams remembers ldquoOne time we picked him up at the Pentagon and we had taken off and had hit top altitude He usually would come up and look into the cockpit but this time he patted me on the shoulder and asked lsquoWell howrsquos it going today guysrsquordquo Adams replied ldquoNot bad sir and how about yourselfrdquo
Agnew answered ldquoMan they are really after my assrdquo He was talking about the press Adams says ldquoTwo weeks later he resignedrdquo
Adams recalls that his encounters with Agnew as defying the public perception
Adams far right gives instructions before a mission in Vietnam
Walla Walla LifestyLes 33
that Agnew was arrogant ldquoHe was always one of the nicest guys He was straightforward He looked like he had just stepped off the cover of Gentlemenrsquos Quarterly all the time He was very proper in the way he dressed but he had a sense of humor as wellrdquo
There were other humorous moments Adams recalls a certain reporter from CBS who had been a major thorn in President Nixonrsquos side was late for takeoff from the South Lawn of the White House one morning Just as Marine One was about to leave without him he came running across the lawn hollering and waving his arms The Secret Service agent supervising the flight told Adams to ldquojust gordquo The wind from the propellers whipped the reporterrsquos toupee right off his head and instead of continuing his run toward Marine One he reversed his field and tried feverishly to retrieve his toupee snagged in the hedges
ldquoEveryone got a pretty good chuckle out of thatrdquo
Of course there were somber times At one point Adams flew Cabinet members John Ehrlichman and Hr Haldeman to Camp David for a meeting with the president After only 15 minutes the two men returned and Marine One headed home Adams says it was a quiet flight He found out later the two men had been fired by President Nixon for their parts in the Watergate scandal
Whisking the president away from danger was a major part of being a pilot of Marine One Stationed across the river from the Capitol pilots awakened by an emergency alert had to be up in the air in five minutes This exercise was practiced often though never needed during Adamsrsquo tenure
One night however they thought it was The operator at the White House mistakenly hit the ldquoAlertrdquo button Marine One was in the air in five minutes
Although ground control had not spotted any enemy aircraft the operation was under way As Marine One closed in on the White House the operator at fault tried to alert everyone of his mistake but unfortunately used a poor choice of words to call off the operation
Adams chuckles as he says ldquoThe fella said lsquoThis is not an exercisersquo He was moved to another post i thinkrdquo
All levity aside the position required
the same kind of focus demanded of Adams in vietnam though it came in a different form
ldquoThere were three things the way you operated the aircraft and they were in this order safety comfort and speed Safety never gave in to comfort or speedrdquo says Adams ldquoOur job was just concentrating on doing our job it could have been anybody mdash we would do it the same way it could have been Fred Flintstone
ldquoThe difference between flying for the White House and in vietnam was we were flying a premier aircraft We had to keep it impeccably clean everything was scripted We had to have the lsquoopen-the-door timersquo down to two to four seconds in vietnam it was the stress of performing medevacs under fire or dropping troops under heavy artillery For Marine One it was the stress of doing the job rightrdquo
Also the stress of being away from onersquos family 200 days of the year wore on a Marine One pilot in 1974 after four years on the job the toll became too much and Adams stepped down
He would stay with the Marines for eight more years retiring in August 1982
By then he had received 44 Air Medals including the Joint Service Commendation and the Presidential Service Badge in his 20 years of service Adams flew seven different helicopters and five different fixed-wing planes
What makes an elite military pilot ldquoPilots who donrsquot have any misgivingsrdquo says Adams ldquoTheyrsquore totally prepared they know their aircraftrdquo
When talking about his colleagues on Marine One he adds ldquoNone were boasters They might brag about a great landing but they did not brag in spite of someone elserdquo
What did Adams love most about his flying days ldquoi enjoyed flying with the latest technology and the pristine quality of Marine One i loved the process of building my skills i could have flown another 40 years and i would still be learning thingsrdquo
is it any surprise his favorite hobby now is fly fishing

it is astonishing in many ways mdash that we are presented with two weeks of top-drawer music performed by top-drawer musi-cians that there are so many ways to encounter the music (many of them free) and that a rural community has provided the incu-
bator for such a cultural undertaking to name but a fewGranted we are not your average rural community having two
colleges a university a symphony a choral society a community band and music in the schools but letrsquos face it wersquore not exactly a cosmopolitan center of culture like New york either The Cham-ber Music Festival mdash and our continued support of it through some tough times mdash puts us in a category all our own

worked hard to start this event and to my great joy it has taken on an iden-tity of its own i hire the musicians and choose the music but the town its people and its environs make the festivalrdquo
The beauty of chamber music is its intimacy mdash smaller ensembles performing for smaller audiences it has been referred to as ldquothe music of friendsrdquo which seems so apt at this festival Free open rehearsals are held around town that provide not only a musical atmosphere in which to enjoy a latte or the ambiance of the kirkman House but which give a richer look into the machinations of a working ensemble
As one enthusiastic fan puts it ldquoi am not a musician and itrsquos fascinat-ing to watch these rehearsals to see the interactions of the musicians as they work out the snags make wry remarks and relate to each other in a whole different way than during a for-mal performance i get a glimpse into their personalities and what makes them tickrdquo
The festival supplies a generous of-fering of venues with free concerts for children and families relaxed evening programs at wineries and full concerts at the Foundry Chism Hall and Day-tonrsquos Liberty Theater
if you are lucky enough to live near the musiciansrsquo lodgings while they are in town you may also be treated to an ad hoc front-porch concert as the ensembles continue their rehearsals in more private settings The festival is about all of these ways mdash planned and accidental mdash to experience the enchantment of chamber music
it is also about historic continuity and the connection between past and present mdash relishing the existing canon while expanding the genre with con-temporary forms and voices
How is this accomplished in part by the annual commission of a new piece of music for the festival Chris-tie is committed to contributing to the broader chamber music repertoire and to providing the audience with the richest possible experience

ldquoFor classical music to be relevant there must be a conversation between the music of our time and the music of the pastrdquo he says
By commissioning a work for the festi-val each year Christie creates such a con-versation
This year the commission was given to John David Earnest Four festival commis-sions have preceded his and he is the sec-ond ldquolocalrdquo composer to be tapped add-ing another layer of relationship between community and event (in 2009 Whitman College professor David Glenn was given the nod)
As visiting adjunct professor of music at Whitman Earnest resides here for six weeks every semester His ldquoSecond Sym-phonyrdquo was written for and performed by the Walla Walla Symphony in October 2001
The challenge for the yearly commis-sionee is to compose a piece on demand within specific constraints of time place and instrumentation while expressing hisher own voice as an artist
Earnest has created ldquoCommedia Gal-leryrdquo a set of three movements for flute
viola and harp based on stock characters from the Commedia dellrsquoArte a popu-lar theatrical form that was influential in Europe for over 300 years Commedia characters improvised dialogue around set scenarios generally involving the struggles of young lovers to overcome hindrances to their romance and each character even-tually came to have a consistent set of at-tributes in speech mannerisms and cos-tume
Earnestrsquos ldquoGalleryrdquo gives us Arlecchi-no (Harlequin) an acrobatic and devious jester Pierrot the classic sad clown and finally Scaramouche a dandy and a brag-gart who is a coward at heart
in anticipation of this yearrsquos festival i am reminded of the scene in ldquoThe Music Manrdquo in which the town awaits the ar-rival of the Wells Fargo Wagon Potentially heaped with gifts and surprises it prom-ises connection to the larger world The WWCMF brings us all ldquosomethinrsquo specialrdquo mdash an enrichment of our community and our culture

Smith has gardened for years at his home at 38 Mulberry Court in College Place He used to grow vegetables and flowers now he is strictly focusing on flowers mdash with fabulous results roses delphiniums and lots of irises line the fence
ldquoirises mdash irsquove always enjoyed themrdquo he says ldquoThey take a little bit of weeding and watering but not much morerdquo itrsquos the gardenerrsquos dream mdash low maintenance with a big return
A retired orthopedic surgeon Smith has in the past gardened more extensively than he does now But he has enough plants to keep him busy His new project is planting more of the reblooming iris These are still hardy but you get twice the reward they bloom in the spring then again in the fall
ldquoTheyrsquore easy to grow and spectacular for a short time iris take less care than a lot of thingsrdquo Smith says
His secret for gardening is simple and therersquos no getting around it ldquoTime and workrdquo he laughs
Hersquos getting ready to start in the garden ldquoi need to clean out the leaves and the old foliage of the irisrdquo
in addition to the basic cleaning and maintenance Smith just decides how many plants to keep Bulb flowers are hardy and they multiply on their own
ldquoAfter five years you usually have to separate the bulbs when they get too thick i donrsquot have room to add more i put in the new re-blooming onesrdquo he explains ldquoi may add more and a few other thingsrdquo
But in a garden you can always try something new or rearrange existing plants often with a spectacular outcome

itrsquos an odd location since it can only be seen as yoursquore leaving town but it always makes me smile This valley my adopted home is indeed a great place to be
i recently finished reading the great Western writer Wallace Stegnerrsquos book ldquoThe Sound of Mountain Waterrdquo One of his essays traces his nomadic childhood which left him feeling rootless and without a place that he felt he could call home
i identify with his feeling of not belonging i was born to a single woman from Massachusetts in a New york City hospital i stayed a scant few days before being placed with an adoption agency Born in a place i had no familial connection to i was immediately deprived of my biological family Most of my childhood was spent in suburban Cleveland Ohio Moves to upstate New york New England and Pennsylvania brought me no closer to calling any place home i loved living in the western Massachusetts town of Stockbridge but the multigenerational denizens of the town left few openings for newcomers like me i lived in central Pennsylvania for several decades but felt detached from the deep roots that most people had in the area
When we came west (for my husband a homecoming to his Oregon roots for me a new experience) i noticed that even in long-established towns like Walla Walla there is ample room for newcomers who want to be
part of the community And most folks who choose to come here donrsquot seem to want to change the valley they prefer to embrace it
While the occasional newbie whines about the lack of Whole Foods or Nordstrom they soon discover our farmers markets the wide variety of local shops and boutiques and our world-class restaurants They fall in love with our charming downtowns the small-town friendliness of the people and our kid-friendly environment Then therersquos the holiday parade the fair the ever-present Blue Mountains the parks the museums the wineries mdash really whatrsquos not to like The communities of our valley represent America at its best
irsquom a newspaper junkie i love to read everything from news to sports to classifieds mdash even the obituaries The obits are a fascinating window on our valley Many of the people chronicled were born here some lived all their lives here inextricably bound to this place But a number of people came here from other places often far away and have made a mark on our area Which makes me wonder mdash is a place any less of a hometown because you choose it or is it based primarily on the happenstance of your birth it seems that therersquos room for both paths to calling this wonderful valley home
itrsquos also our strength because collectively as a community we bring both deep familial and cultural traditions as well as the fresh perspective of newcomers to our area irsquom glad mdash after decades of searching mdash that i finally found my hometown a place that feels just right

four pilots were medevaced out because of their wounds i donrsquot think there was one helicopter that didnrsquot have a bunch of holes in it The one i flew in we got a lot of rounds in it Amazingly no one was hurt but when we got back the helicopter was so shot-up you couldnrsquot fly it anymore We lost 50 percent of our helicopters that dayrdquo
in the next 13 months Adams would fly many more missions often heading straight into anti-aircraft fire to pick up injured or killed soldiers He says he would see the flares signifying where the copter was supposed to land but frequently hersquod have to veer off because ground communication would say ldquoThe artillery is too hotrdquo Then there would be a window maybe two minutes maybe five when the helicopter could drop in and pick up the injured often being shot at as it waited for its passengers
Adams knew the best way to survive was to keep his focus ldquoin the daylight when you start your run in and yoursquore getting shot at Everything went to black and white for me i didnrsquot notice the green trees or the green rice paddies until we got out of there and then it would come back
to me i donrsquot know what that was i just didnrsquot see the colors irsquove talked to some other pilots and they described the same thingrdquo
in his two tours of duty in vietnam Adams would fly 880 combat missions in several types of helicopters and fixed-wing airplanes He received numerous medals including two Navy commendations for performance under combat conditions
Then the call came to fly for the president Before Adams could tote the commander in chief around in Marine One a thorough background check had to be done So thorough was the check that Adams said a friend from his hometown sent him a card that read ldquoAre you in some kind of trouble Jesus therersquos been a bunch of people around here with the dark grey suits and the skinny little ties Theyrsquore asking all these embarrassing questions about you like did you have drinking problem Did you have a gambling problem Do you know what Larryrsquos sexual preference wasrdquo
Adams chuckles ldquoit was pretty funnyrdquoAdams passed the grade and soon
he was flying President Nixon and his family to Camp David or picking up vice
President Spiro Agnew at the Pentagon or taking Secretary of State Henry kissinger or Secretary of Defense Alexander Haig to a classified meeting Although his flights varied from transporting foreign heads of state to flying members of the press the majority involved the president the vice president kissinger and Haig
The pilots did not speak to their travelers unless spoken to says Adams President Nixon usually looked in and asked them how they were kissinger never spoke Haig was good for a pat on the shoulder now and then but it was Agnew who conversed the most says Adams
Adams remembers ldquoOne time we picked him up at the Pentagon and we had taken off and had hit top altitude He usually would come up and look into the cockpit but this time he patted me on the shoulder and asked lsquoWell howrsquos it going today guysrsquordquo Adams replied ldquoNot bad sir and how about yourselfrdquo
Agnew answered ldquoMan they are really after my assrdquo He was talking about the press Adams says ldquoTwo weeks later he resignedrdquo
Adams recalls that his encounters with Agnew as defying the public perception
Adams far right gives instructions before a mission in Vietnam
Walla Walla LifestyLes 33
that Agnew was arrogant ldquoHe was always one of the nicest guys He was straightforward He looked like he had just stepped off the cover of Gentlemenrsquos Quarterly all the time He was very proper in the way he dressed but he had a sense of humor as wellrdquo
There were other humorous moments Adams recalls a certain reporter from CBS who had been a major thorn in President Nixonrsquos side was late for takeoff from the South Lawn of the White House one morning Just as Marine One was about to leave without him he came running across the lawn hollering and waving his arms The Secret Service agent supervising the flight told Adams to ldquojust gordquo The wind from the propellers whipped the reporterrsquos toupee right off his head and instead of continuing his run toward Marine One he reversed his field and tried feverishly to retrieve his toupee snagged in the hedges
ldquoEveryone got a pretty good chuckle out of thatrdquo
Of course there were somber times At one point Adams flew Cabinet members John Ehrlichman and Hr Haldeman to Camp David for a meeting with the president After only 15 minutes the two men returned and Marine One headed home Adams says it was a quiet flight He found out later the two men had been fired by President Nixon for their parts in the Watergate scandal
Whisking the president away from danger was a major part of being a pilot of Marine One Stationed across the river from the Capitol pilots awakened by an emergency alert had to be up in the air in five minutes This exercise was practiced often though never needed during Adamsrsquo tenure
One night however they thought it was The operator at the White House mistakenly hit the ldquoAlertrdquo button Marine One was in the air in five minutes
Although ground control had not spotted any enemy aircraft the operation was under way As Marine One closed in on the White House the operator at fault tried to alert everyone of his mistake but unfortunately used a poor choice of words to call off the operation
Adams chuckles as he says ldquoThe fella said lsquoThis is not an exercisersquo He was moved to another post i thinkrdquo
All levity aside the position required
the same kind of focus demanded of Adams in vietnam though it came in a different form
ldquoThere were three things the way you operated the aircraft and they were in this order safety comfort and speed Safety never gave in to comfort or speedrdquo says Adams ldquoOur job was just concentrating on doing our job it could have been anybody mdash we would do it the same way it could have been Fred Flintstone
ldquoThe difference between flying for the White House and in vietnam was we were flying a premier aircraft We had to keep it impeccably clean everything was scripted We had to have the lsquoopen-the-door timersquo down to two to four seconds in vietnam it was the stress of performing medevacs under fire or dropping troops under heavy artillery For Marine One it was the stress of doing the job rightrdquo
Also the stress of being away from onersquos family 200 days of the year wore on a Marine One pilot in 1974 after four years on the job the toll became too much and Adams stepped down
He would stay with the Marines for eight more years retiring in August 1982
By then he had received 44 Air Medals including the Joint Service Commendation and the Presidential Service Badge in his 20 years of service Adams flew seven different helicopters and five different fixed-wing planes
What makes an elite military pilot ldquoPilots who donrsquot have any misgivingsrdquo says Adams ldquoTheyrsquore totally prepared they know their aircraftrdquo
When talking about his colleagues on Marine One he adds ldquoNone were boasters They might brag about a great landing but they did not brag in spite of someone elserdquo
What did Adams love most about his flying days ldquoi enjoyed flying with the latest technology and the pristine quality of Marine One i loved the process of building my skills i could have flown another 40 years and i would still be learning thingsrdquo
is it any surprise his favorite hobby now is fly fishing

it is astonishing in many ways mdash that we are presented with two weeks of top-drawer music performed by top-drawer musi-cians that there are so many ways to encounter the music (many of them free) and that a rural community has provided the incu-
bator for such a cultural undertaking to name but a fewGranted we are not your average rural community having two
colleges a university a symphony a choral society a community band and music in the schools but letrsquos face it wersquore not exactly a cosmopolitan center of culture like New york either The Cham-ber Music Festival mdash and our continued support of it through some tough times mdash puts us in a category all our own

worked hard to start this event and to my great joy it has taken on an iden-tity of its own i hire the musicians and choose the music but the town its people and its environs make the festivalrdquo
The beauty of chamber music is its intimacy mdash smaller ensembles performing for smaller audiences it has been referred to as ldquothe music of friendsrdquo which seems so apt at this festival Free open rehearsals are held around town that provide not only a musical atmosphere in which to enjoy a latte or the ambiance of the kirkman House but which give a richer look into the machinations of a working ensemble
As one enthusiastic fan puts it ldquoi am not a musician and itrsquos fascinat-ing to watch these rehearsals to see the interactions of the musicians as they work out the snags make wry remarks and relate to each other in a whole different way than during a for-mal performance i get a glimpse into their personalities and what makes them tickrdquo
The festival supplies a generous of-fering of venues with free concerts for children and families relaxed evening programs at wineries and full concerts at the Foundry Chism Hall and Day-tonrsquos Liberty Theater
if you are lucky enough to live near the musiciansrsquo lodgings while they are in town you may also be treated to an ad hoc front-porch concert as the ensembles continue their rehearsals in more private settings The festival is about all of these ways mdash planned and accidental mdash to experience the enchantment of chamber music
it is also about historic continuity and the connection between past and present mdash relishing the existing canon while expanding the genre with con-temporary forms and voices
How is this accomplished in part by the annual commission of a new piece of music for the festival Chris-tie is committed to contributing to the broader chamber music repertoire and to providing the audience with the richest possible experience

ldquoFor classical music to be relevant there must be a conversation between the music of our time and the music of the pastrdquo he says
By commissioning a work for the festi-val each year Christie creates such a con-versation
This year the commission was given to John David Earnest Four festival commis-sions have preceded his and he is the sec-ond ldquolocalrdquo composer to be tapped add-ing another layer of relationship between community and event (in 2009 Whitman College professor David Glenn was given the nod)
As visiting adjunct professor of music at Whitman Earnest resides here for six weeks every semester His ldquoSecond Sym-phonyrdquo was written for and performed by the Walla Walla Symphony in October 2001
The challenge for the yearly commis-sionee is to compose a piece on demand within specific constraints of time place and instrumentation while expressing hisher own voice as an artist
Earnest has created ldquoCommedia Gal-leryrdquo a set of three movements for flute
viola and harp based on stock characters from the Commedia dellrsquoArte a popu-lar theatrical form that was influential in Europe for over 300 years Commedia characters improvised dialogue around set scenarios generally involving the struggles of young lovers to overcome hindrances to their romance and each character even-tually came to have a consistent set of at-tributes in speech mannerisms and cos-tume
Earnestrsquos ldquoGalleryrdquo gives us Arlecchi-no (Harlequin) an acrobatic and devious jester Pierrot the classic sad clown and finally Scaramouche a dandy and a brag-gart who is a coward at heart
in anticipation of this yearrsquos festival i am reminded of the scene in ldquoThe Music Manrdquo in which the town awaits the ar-rival of the Wells Fargo Wagon Potentially heaped with gifts and surprises it prom-ises connection to the larger world The WWCMF brings us all ldquosomethinrsquo specialrdquo mdash an enrichment of our community and our culture

Smith has gardened for years at his home at 38 Mulberry Court in College Place He used to grow vegetables and flowers now he is strictly focusing on flowers mdash with fabulous results roses delphiniums and lots of irises line the fence
ldquoirises mdash irsquove always enjoyed themrdquo he says ldquoThey take a little bit of weeding and watering but not much morerdquo itrsquos the gardenerrsquos dream mdash low maintenance with a big return
A retired orthopedic surgeon Smith has in the past gardened more extensively than he does now But he has enough plants to keep him busy His new project is planting more of the reblooming iris These are still hardy but you get twice the reward they bloom in the spring then again in the fall
ldquoTheyrsquore easy to grow and spectacular for a short time iris take less care than a lot of thingsrdquo Smith says
His secret for gardening is simple and therersquos no getting around it ldquoTime and workrdquo he laughs
Hersquos getting ready to start in the garden ldquoi need to clean out the leaves and the old foliage of the irisrdquo
in addition to the basic cleaning and maintenance Smith just decides how many plants to keep Bulb flowers are hardy and they multiply on their own
ldquoAfter five years you usually have to separate the bulbs when they get too thick i donrsquot have room to add more i put in the new re-blooming onesrdquo he explains ldquoi may add more and a few other thingsrdquo
But in a garden you can always try something new or rearrange existing plants often with a spectacular outcome

itrsquos an odd location since it can only be seen as yoursquore leaving town but it always makes me smile This valley my adopted home is indeed a great place to be
i recently finished reading the great Western writer Wallace Stegnerrsquos book ldquoThe Sound of Mountain Waterrdquo One of his essays traces his nomadic childhood which left him feeling rootless and without a place that he felt he could call home
i identify with his feeling of not belonging i was born to a single woman from Massachusetts in a New york City hospital i stayed a scant few days before being placed with an adoption agency Born in a place i had no familial connection to i was immediately deprived of my biological family Most of my childhood was spent in suburban Cleveland Ohio Moves to upstate New york New England and Pennsylvania brought me no closer to calling any place home i loved living in the western Massachusetts town of Stockbridge but the multigenerational denizens of the town left few openings for newcomers like me i lived in central Pennsylvania for several decades but felt detached from the deep roots that most people had in the area
When we came west (for my husband a homecoming to his Oregon roots for me a new experience) i noticed that even in long-established towns like Walla Walla there is ample room for newcomers who want to be
part of the community And most folks who choose to come here donrsquot seem to want to change the valley they prefer to embrace it
While the occasional newbie whines about the lack of Whole Foods or Nordstrom they soon discover our farmers markets the wide variety of local shops and boutiques and our world-class restaurants They fall in love with our charming downtowns the small-town friendliness of the people and our kid-friendly environment Then therersquos the holiday parade the fair the ever-present Blue Mountains the parks the museums the wineries mdash really whatrsquos not to like The communities of our valley represent America at its best
irsquom a newspaper junkie i love to read everything from news to sports to classifieds mdash even the obituaries The obits are a fascinating window on our valley Many of the people chronicled were born here some lived all their lives here inextricably bound to this place But a number of people came here from other places often far away and have made a mark on our area Which makes me wonder mdash is a place any less of a hometown because you choose it or is it based primarily on the happenstance of your birth it seems that therersquos room for both paths to calling this wonderful valley home
itrsquos also our strength because collectively as a community we bring both deep familial and cultural traditions as well as the fresh perspective of newcomers to our area irsquom glad mdash after decades of searching mdash that i finally found my hometown a place that feels just right

that Agnew was arrogant ldquoHe was always one of the nicest guys He was straightforward He looked like he had just stepped off the cover of Gentlemenrsquos Quarterly all the time He was very proper in the way he dressed but he had a sense of humor as wellrdquo
There were other humorous moments Adams recalls a certain reporter from CBS who had been a major thorn in President Nixonrsquos side was late for takeoff from the South Lawn of the White House one morning Just as Marine One was about to leave without him he came running across the lawn hollering and waving his arms The Secret Service agent supervising the flight told Adams to ldquojust gordquo The wind from the propellers whipped the reporterrsquos toupee right off his head and instead of continuing his run toward Marine One he reversed his field and tried feverishly to retrieve his toupee snagged in the hedges
ldquoEveryone got a pretty good chuckle out of thatrdquo
Of course there were somber times At one point Adams flew Cabinet members John Ehrlichman and Hr Haldeman to Camp David for a meeting with the president After only 15 minutes the two men returned and Marine One headed home Adams says it was a quiet flight He found out later the two men had been fired by President Nixon for their parts in the Watergate scandal
Whisking the president away from danger was a major part of being a pilot of Marine One Stationed across the river from the Capitol pilots awakened by an emergency alert had to be up in the air in five minutes This exercise was practiced often though never needed during Adamsrsquo tenure
One night however they thought it was The operator at the White House mistakenly hit the ldquoAlertrdquo button Marine One was in the air in five minutes
Although ground control had not spotted any enemy aircraft the operation was under way As Marine One closed in on the White House the operator at fault tried to alert everyone of his mistake but unfortunately used a poor choice of words to call off the operation
Adams chuckles as he says ldquoThe fella said lsquoThis is not an exercisersquo He was moved to another post i thinkrdquo
All levity aside the position required
the same kind of focus demanded of Adams in vietnam though it came in a different form
ldquoThere were three things the way you operated the aircraft and they were in this order safety comfort and speed Safety never gave in to comfort or speedrdquo says Adams ldquoOur job was just concentrating on doing our job it could have been anybody mdash we would do it the same way it could have been Fred Flintstone
ldquoThe difference between flying for the White House and in vietnam was we were flying a premier aircraft We had to keep it impeccably clean everything was scripted We had to have the lsquoopen-the-door timersquo down to two to four seconds in vietnam it was the stress of performing medevacs under fire or dropping troops under heavy artillery For Marine One it was the stress of doing the job rightrdquo
Also the stress of being away from onersquos family 200 days of the year wore on a Marine One pilot in 1974 after four years on the job the toll became too much and Adams stepped down
He would stay with the Marines for eight more years retiring in August 1982
By then he had received 44 Air Medals including the Joint Service Commendation and the Presidential Service Badge in his 20 years of service Adams flew seven different helicopters and five different fixed-wing planes
What makes an elite military pilot ldquoPilots who donrsquot have any misgivingsrdquo says Adams ldquoTheyrsquore totally prepared they know their aircraftrdquo
When talking about his colleagues on Marine One he adds ldquoNone were boasters They might brag about a great landing but they did not brag in spite of someone elserdquo
What did Adams love most about his flying days ldquoi enjoyed flying with the latest technology and the pristine quality of Marine One i loved the process of building my skills i could have flown another 40 years and i would still be learning thingsrdquo
is it any surprise his favorite hobby now is fly fishing

it is astonishing in many ways mdash that we are presented with two weeks of top-drawer music performed by top-drawer musi-cians that there are so many ways to encounter the music (many of them free) and that a rural community has provided the incu-
bator for such a cultural undertaking to name but a fewGranted we are not your average rural community having two
colleges a university a symphony a choral society a community band and music in the schools but letrsquos face it wersquore not exactly a cosmopolitan center of culture like New york either The Cham-ber Music Festival mdash and our continued support of it through some tough times mdash puts us in a category all our own

worked hard to start this event and to my great joy it has taken on an iden-tity of its own i hire the musicians and choose the music but the town its people and its environs make the festivalrdquo
The beauty of chamber music is its intimacy mdash smaller ensembles performing for smaller audiences it has been referred to as ldquothe music of friendsrdquo which seems so apt at this festival Free open rehearsals are held around town that provide not only a musical atmosphere in which to enjoy a latte or the ambiance of the kirkman House but which give a richer look into the machinations of a working ensemble
As one enthusiastic fan puts it ldquoi am not a musician and itrsquos fascinat-ing to watch these rehearsals to see the interactions of the musicians as they work out the snags make wry remarks and relate to each other in a whole different way than during a for-mal performance i get a glimpse into their personalities and what makes them tickrdquo
The festival supplies a generous of-fering of venues with free concerts for children and families relaxed evening programs at wineries and full concerts at the Foundry Chism Hall and Day-tonrsquos Liberty Theater
if you are lucky enough to live near the musiciansrsquo lodgings while they are in town you may also be treated to an ad hoc front-porch concert as the ensembles continue their rehearsals in more private settings The festival is about all of these ways mdash planned and accidental mdash to experience the enchantment of chamber music
it is also about historic continuity and the connection between past and present mdash relishing the existing canon while expanding the genre with con-temporary forms and voices
How is this accomplished in part by the annual commission of a new piece of music for the festival Chris-tie is committed to contributing to the broader chamber music repertoire and to providing the audience with the richest possible experience

ldquoFor classical music to be relevant there must be a conversation between the music of our time and the music of the pastrdquo he says
By commissioning a work for the festi-val each year Christie creates such a con-versation
This year the commission was given to John David Earnest Four festival commis-sions have preceded his and he is the sec-ond ldquolocalrdquo composer to be tapped add-ing another layer of relationship between community and event (in 2009 Whitman College professor David Glenn was given the nod)
As visiting adjunct professor of music at Whitman Earnest resides here for six weeks every semester His ldquoSecond Sym-phonyrdquo was written for and performed by the Walla Walla Symphony in October 2001
The challenge for the yearly commis-sionee is to compose a piece on demand within specific constraints of time place and instrumentation while expressing hisher own voice as an artist
Earnest has created ldquoCommedia Gal-leryrdquo a set of three movements for flute
viola and harp based on stock characters from the Commedia dellrsquoArte a popu-lar theatrical form that was influential in Europe for over 300 years Commedia characters improvised dialogue around set scenarios generally involving the struggles of young lovers to overcome hindrances to their romance and each character even-tually came to have a consistent set of at-tributes in speech mannerisms and cos-tume
Earnestrsquos ldquoGalleryrdquo gives us Arlecchi-no (Harlequin) an acrobatic and devious jester Pierrot the classic sad clown and finally Scaramouche a dandy and a brag-gart who is a coward at heart
in anticipation of this yearrsquos festival i am reminded of the scene in ldquoThe Music Manrdquo in which the town awaits the ar-rival of the Wells Fargo Wagon Potentially heaped with gifts and surprises it prom-ises connection to the larger world The WWCMF brings us all ldquosomethinrsquo specialrdquo mdash an enrichment of our community and our culture

Smith has gardened for years at his home at 38 Mulberry Court in College Place He used to grow vegetables and flowers now he is strictly focusing on flowers mdash with fabulous results roses delphiniums and lots of irises line the fence
ldquoirises mdash irsquove always enjoyed themrdquo he says ldquoThey take a little bit of weeding and watering but not much morerdquo itrsquos the gardenerrsquos dream mdash low maintenance with a big return
A retired orthopedic surgeon Smith has in the past gardened more extensively than he does now But he has enough plants to keep him busy His new project is planting more of the reblooming iris These are still hardy but you get twice the reward they bloom in the spring then again in the fall
ldquoTheyrsquore easy to grow and spectacular for a short time iris take less care than a lot of thingsrdquo Smith says
His secret for gardening is simple and therersquos no getting around it ldquoTime and workrdquo he laughs
Hersquos getting ready to start in the garden ldquoi need to clean out the leaves and the old foliage of the irisrdquo
in addition to the basic cleaning and maintenance Smith just decides how many plants to keep Bulb flowers are hardy and they multiply on their own
ldquoAfter five years you usually have to separate the bulbs when they get too thick i donrsquot have room to add more i put in the new re-blooming onesrdquo he explains ldquoi may add more and a few other thingsrdquo
But in a garden you can always try something new or rearrange existing plants often with a spectacular outcome

itrsquos an odd location since it can only be seen as yoursquore leaving town but it always makes me smile This valley my adopted home is indeed a great place to be
i recently finished reading the great Western writer Wallace Stegnerrsquos book ldquoThe Sound of Mountain Waterrdquo One of his essays traces his nomadic childhood which left him feeling rootless and without a place that he felt he could call home
i identify with his feeling of not belonging i was born to a single woman from Massachusetts in a New york City hospital i stayed a scant few days before being placed with an adoption agency Born in a place i had no familial connection to i was immediately deprived of my biological family Most of my childhood was spent in suburban Cleveland Ohio Moves to upstate New york New England and Pennsylvania brought me no closer to calling any place home i loved living in the western Massachusetts town of Stockbridge but the multigenerational denizens of the town left few openings for newcomers like me i lived in central Pennsylvania for several decades but felt detached from the deep roots that most people had in the area
When we came west (for my husband a homecoming to his Oregon roots for me a new experience) i noticed that even in long-established towns like Walla Walla there is ample room for newcomers who want to be
part of the community And most folks who choose to come here donrsquot seem to want to change the valley they prefer to embrace it
While the occasional newbie whines about the lack of Whole Foods or Nordstrom they soon discover our farmers markets the wide variety of local shops and boutiques and our world-class restaurants They fall in love with our charming downtowns the small-town friendliness of the people and our kid-friendly environment Then therersquos the holiday parade the fair the ever-present Blue Mountains the parks the museums the wineries mdash really whatrsquos not to like The communities of our valley represent America at its best
irsquom a newspaper junkie i love to read everything from news to sports to classifieds mdash even the obituaries The obits are a fascinating window on our valley Many of the people chronicled were born here some lived all their lives here inextricably bound to this place But a number of people came here from other places often far away and have made a mark on our area Which makes me wonder mdash is a place any less of a hometown because you choose it or is it based primarily on the happenstance of your birth it seems that therersquos room for both paths to calling this wonderful valley home
itrsquos also our strength because collectively as a community we bring both deep familial and cultural traditions as well as the fresh perspective of newcomers to our area irsquom glad mdash after decades of searching mdash that i finally found my hometown a place that feels just right

it is astonishing in many ways mdash that we are presented with two weeks of top-drawer music performed by top-drawer musi-cians that there are so many ways to encounter the music (many of them free) and that a rural community has provided the incu-
bator for such a cultural undertaking to name but a fewGranted we are not your average rural community having two
colleges a university a symphony a choral society a community band and music in the schools but letrsquos face it wersquore not exactly a cosmopolitan center of culture like New york either The Cham-ber Music Festival mdash and our continued support of it through some tough times mdash puts us in a category all our own
ldquoi saw what was special about this community the first time i visited in 2007rdquo Artistic Director Timothy Christie says ldquoi have

worked hard to start this event and to my great joy it has taken on an iden-tity of its own i hire the musicians and choose the music but the town its people and its environs make the festivalrdquo
The beauty of chamber music is its intimacy mdash smaller ensembles performing for smaller audiences it has been referred to as ldquothe music of friendsrdquo which seems so apt at this festival Free open rehearsals are held around town that provide not only a musical atmosphere in which to enjoy a latte or the ambiance of the kirkman House but which give a richer look into the machinations of a working ensemble
As one enthusiastic fan puts it ldquoi am not a musician and itrsquos fascinat-ing to watch these rehearsals to see the interactions of the musicians as they work out the snags make wry remarks and relate to each other in a whole different way than during a for-mal performance i get a glimpse into their personalities and what makes them tickrdquo
The festival supplies a generous of-fering of venues with free concerts for children and families relaxed evening programs at wineries and full concerts at the Foundry Chism Hall and Day-tonrsquos Liberty Theater
if you are lucky enough to live near the musiciansrsquo lodgings while they are in town you may also be treated to an ad hoc front-porch concert as the ensembles continue their rehearsals in more private settings The festival is about all of these ways mdash planned and accidental mdash to experience the enchantment of chamber music
it is also about historic continuity and the connection between past and present mdash relishing the existing canon while expanding the genre with con-temporary forms and voices
How is this accomplished in part by the annual commission of a new piece of music for the festival Chris-tie is committed to contributing to the broader chamber music repertoire and to providing the audience with the richest possible experience

ldquoFor classical music to be relevant there must be a conversation between the music of our time and the music of the pastrdquo he says
By commissioning a work for the festi-val each year Christie creates such a con-versation
This year the commission was given to John David Earnest Four festival commis-sions have preceded his and he is the sec-ond ldquolocalrdquo composer to be tapped add-ing another layer of relationship between community and event (in 2009 Whitman College professor David Glenn was given the nod)
As visiting adjunct professor of music at Whitman Earnest resides here for six weeks every semester His ldquoSecond Sym-phonyrdquo was written for and performed by the Walla Walla Symphony in October 2001
The challenge for the yearly commis-sionee is to compose a piece on demand within specific constraints of time place and instrumentation while expressing hisher own voice as an artist
Earnest has created ldquoCommedia Gal-leryrdquo a set of three movements for flute
viola and harp based on stock characters from the Commedia dellrsquoArte a popu-lar theatrical form that was influential in Europe for over 300 years Commedia characters improvised dialogue around set scenarios generally involving the struggles of young lovers to overcome hindrances to their romance and each character even-tually came to have a consistent set of at-tributes in speech mannerisms and cos-tume
Earnestrsquos ldquoGalleryrdquo gives us Arlecchi-no (Harlequin) an acrobatic and devious jester Pierrot the classic sad clown and finally Scaramouche a dandy and a brag-gart who is a coward at heart
in anticipation of this yearrsquos festival i am reminded of the scene in ldquoThe Music Manrdquo in which the town awaits the ar-rival of the Wells Fargo Wagon Potentially heaped with gifts and surprises it prom-ises connection to the larger world The WWCMF brings us all ldquosomethinrsquo specialrdquo mdash an enrichment of our community and our culture

Smith has gardened for years at his home at 38 Mulberry Court in College Place He used to grow vegetables and flowers now he is strictly focusing on flowers mdash with fabulous results roses delphiniums and lots of irises line the fence
ldquoirises mdash irsquove always enjoyed themrdquo he says ldquoThey take a little bit of weeding and watering but not much morerdquo itrsquos the gardenerrsquos dream mdash low maintenance with a big return
A retired orthopedic surgeon Smith has in the past gardened more extensively than he does now But he has enough plants to keep him busy His new project is planting more of the reblooming iris These are still hardy but you get twice the reward they bloom in the spring then again in the fall
ldquoTheyrsquore easy to grow and spectacular for a short time iris take less care than a lot of thingsrdquo Smith says
His secret for gardening is simple and therersquos no getting around it ldquoTime and workrdquo he laughs
Hersquos getting ready to start in the garden ldquoi need to clean out the leaves and the old foliage of the irisrdquo
in addition to the basic cleaning and maintenance Smith just decides how many plants to keep Bulb flowers are hardy and they multiply on their own
ldquoAfter five years you usually have to separate the bulbs when they get too thick i donrsquot have room to add more i put in the new re-blooming onesrdquo he explains ldquoi may add more and a few other thingsrdquo
But in a garden you can always try something new or rearrange existing plants often with a spectacular outcome

itrsquos an odd location since it can only be seen as yoursquore leaving town but it always makes me smile This valley my adopted home is indeed a great place to be
i recently finished reading the great Western writer Wallace Stegnerrsquos book ldquoThe Sound of Mountain Waterrdquo One of his essays traces his nomadic childhood which left him feeling rootless and without a place that he felt he could call home
i identify with his feeling of not belonging i was born to a single woman from Massachusetts in a New york City hospital i stayed a scant few days before being placed with an adoption agency Born in a place i had no familial connection to i was immediately deprived of my biological family Most of my childhood was spent in suburban Cleveland Ohio Moves to upstate New york New England and Pennsylvania brought me no closer to calling any place home i loved living in the western Massachusetts town of Stockbridge but the multigenerational denizens of the town left few openings for newcomers like me i lived in central Pennsylvania for several decades but felt detached from the deep roots that most people had in the area
When we came west (for my husband a homecoming to his Oregon roots for me a new experience) i noticed that even in long-established towns like Walla Walla there is ample room for newcomers who want to be
part of the community And most folks who choose to come here donrsquot seem to want to change the valley they prefer to embrace it
While the occasional newbie whines about the lack of Whole Foods or Nordstrom they soon discover our farmers markets the wide variety of local shops and boutiques and our world-class restaurants They fall in love with our charming downtowns the small-town friendliness of the people and our kid-friendly environment Then therersquos the holiday parade the fair the ever-present Blue Mountains the parks the museums the wineries mdash really whatrsquos not to like The communities of our valley represent America at its best
irsquom a newspaper junkie i love to read everything from news to sports to classifieds mdash even the obituaries The obits are a fascinating window on our valley Many of the people chronicled were born here some lived all their lives here inextricably bound to this place But a number of people came here from other places often far away and have made a mark on our area Which makes me wonder mdash is a place any less of a hometown because you choose it or is it based primarily on the happenstance of your birth it seems that therersquos room for both paths to calling this wonderful valley home
itrsquos also our strength because collectively as a community we bring both deep familial and cultural traditions as well as the fresh perspective of newcomers to our area irsquom glad mdash after decades of searching mdash that i finally found my hometown a place that feels just right

worked hard to start this event and to my great joy it has taken on an iden-tity of its own i hire the musicians and choose the music but the town its people and its environs make the festivalrdquo
The beauty of chamber music is its intimacy mdash smaller ensembles performing for smaller audiences it has been referred to as ldquothe music of friendsrdquo which seems so apt at this festival Free open rehearsals are held around town that provide not only a musical atmosphere in which to enjoy a latte or the ambiance of the kirkman House but which give a richer look into the machinations of a working ensemble
As one enthusiastic fan puts it ldquoi am not a musician and itrsquos fascinat-ing to watch these rehearsals to see the interactions of the musicians as they work out the snags make wry remarks and relate to each other in a whole different way than during a for-mal performance i get a glimpse into their personalities and what makes them tickrdquo
The festival supplies a generous of-fering of venues with free concerts for children and families relaxed evening programs at wineries and full concerts at the Foundry Chism Hall and Day-tonrsquos Liberty Theater
if you are lucky enough to live near the musiciansrsquo lodgings while they are in town you may also be treated to an ad hoc front-porch concert as the ensembles continue their rehearsals in more private settings The festival is about all of these ways mdash planned and accidental mdash to experience the enchantment of chamber music
it is also about historic continuity and the connection between past and present mdash relishing the existing canon while expanding the genre with con-temporary forms and voices
How is this accomplished in part by the annual commission of a new piece of music for the festival Chris-tie is committed to contributing to the broader chamber music repertoire and to providing the audience with the richest possible experience

ldquoFor classical music to be relevant there must be a conversation between the music of our time and the music of the pastrdquo he says
By commissioning a work for the festi-val each year Christie creates such a con-versation
This year the commission was given to John David Earnest Four festival commis-sions have preceded his and he is the sec-ond ldquolocalrdquo composer to be tapped add-ing another layer of relationship between community and event (in 2009 Whitman College professor David Glenn was given the nod)
As visiting adjunct professor of music at Whitman Earnest resides here for six weeks every semester His ldquoSecond Sym-phonyrdquo was written for and performed by the Walla Walla Symphony in October 2001
The challenge for the yearly commis-sionee is to compose a piece on demand within specific constraints of time place and instrumentation while expressing hisher own voice as an artist
Earnest has created ldquoCommedia Gal-leryrdquo a set of three movements for flute
viola and harp based on stock characters from the Commedia dellrsquoArte a popu-lar theatrical form that was influential in Europe for over 300 years Commedia characters improvised dialogue around set scenarios generally involving the struggles of young lovers to overcome hindrances to their romance and each character even-tually came to have a consistent set of at-tributes in speech mannerisms and cos-tume
Earnestrsquos ldquoGalleryrdquo gives us Arlecchi-no (Harlequin) an acrobatic and devious jester Pierrot the classic sad clown and finally Scaramouche a dandy and a brag-gart who is a coward at heart
in anticipation of this yearrsquos festival i am reminded of the scene in ldquoThe Music Manrdquo in which the town awaits the ar-rival of the Wells Fargo Wagon Potentially heaped with gifts and surprises it prom-ises connection to the larger world The WWCMF brings us all ldquosomethinrsquo specialrdquo mdash an enrichment of our community and our culture

Smith has gardened for years at his home at 38 Mulberry Court in College Place He used to grow vegetables and flowers now he is strictly focusing on flowers mdash with fabulous results roses delphiniums and lots of irises line the fence
ldquoirises mdash irsquove always enjoyed themrdquo he says ldquoThey take a little bit of weeding and watering but not much morerdquo itrsquos the gardenerrsquos dream mdash low maintenance with a big return
A retired orthopedic surgeon Smith has in the past gardened more extensively than he does now But he has enough plants to keep him busy His new project is planting more of the reblooming iris These are still hardy but you get twice the reward they bloom in the spring then again in the fall
ldquoTheyrsquore easy to grow and spectacular for a short time iris take less care than a lot of thingsrdquo Smith says
His secret for gardening is simple and therersquos no getting around it ldquoTime and workrdquo he laughs
Hersquos getting ready to start in the garden ldquoi need to clean out the leaves and the old foliage of the irisrdquo
in addition to the basic cleaning and maintenance Smith just decides how many plants to keep Bulb flowers are hardy and they multiply on their own
ldquoAfter five years you usually have to separate the bulbs when they get too thick i donrsquot have room to add more i put in the new re-blooming onesrdquo he explains ldquoi may add more and a few other thingsrdquo
But in a garden you can always try something new or rearrange existing plants often with a spectacular outcome

itrsquos an odd location since it can only be seen as yoursquore leaving town but it always makes me smile This valley my adopted home is indeed a great place to be
i recently finished reading the great Western writer Wallace Stegnerrsquos book ldquoThe Sound of Mountain Waterrdquo One of his essays traces his nomadic childhood which left him feeling rootless and without a place that he felt he could call home
i identify with his feeling of not belonging i was born to a single woman from Massachusetts in a New york City hospital i stayed a scant few days before being placed with an adoption agency Born in a place i had no familial connection to i was immediately deprived of my biological family Most of my childhood was spent in suburban Cleveland Ohio Moves to upstate New york New England and Pennsylvania brought me no closer to calling any place home i loved living in the western Massachusetts town of Stockbridge but the multigenerational denizens of the town left few openings for newcomers like me i lived in central Pennsylvania for several decades but felt detached from the deep roots that most people had in the area
When we came west (for my husband a homecoming to his Oregon roots for me a new experience) i noticed that even in long-established towns like Walla Walla there is ample room for newcomers who want to be
part of the community And most folks who choose to come here donrsquot seem to want to change the valley they prefer to embrace it
While the occasional newbie whines about the lack of Whole Foods or Nordstrom they soon discover our farmers markets the wide variety of local shops and boutiques and our world-class restaurants They fall in love with our charming downtowns the small-town friendliness of the people and our kid-friendly environment Then therersquos the holiday parade the fair the ever-present Blue Mountains the parks the museums the wineries mdash really whatrsquos not to like The communities of our valley represent America at its best
irsquom a newspaper junkie i love to read everything from news to sports to classifieds mdash even the obituaries The obits are a fascinating window on our valley Many of the people chronicled were born here some lived all their lives here inextricably bound to this place But a number of people came here from other places often far away and have made a mark on our area Which makes me wonder mdash is a place any less of a hometown because you choose it or is it based primarily on the happenstance of your birth it seems that therersquos room for both paths to calling this wonderful valley home
itrsquos also our strength because collectively as a community we bring both deep familial and cultural traditions as well as the fresh perspective of newcomers to our area irsquom glad mdash after decades of searching mdash that i finally found my hometown a place that feels just right

ldquoFor classical music to be relevant there must be a conversation between the music of our time and the music of the pastrdquo he says
By commissioning a work for the festi-val each year Christie creates such a con-versation
This year the commission was given to John David Earnest Four festival commis-sions have preceded his and he is the sec-ond ldquolocalrdquo composer to be tapped add-ing another layer of relationship between community and event (in 2009 Whitman College professor David Glenn was given the nod)
As visiting adjunct professor of music at Whitman Earnest resides here for six weeks every semester His ldquoSecond Sym-phonyrdquo was written for and performed by the Walla Walla Symphony in October 2001
The challenge for the yearly commis-sionee is to compose a piece on demand within specific constraints of time place and instrumentation while expressing hisher own voice as an artist
Earnest has created ldquoCommedia Gal-leryrdquo a set of three movements for flute
viola and harp based on stock characters from the Commedia dellrsquoArte a popu-lar theatrical form that was influential in Europe for over 300 years Commedia characters improvised dialogue around set scenarios generally involving the struggles of young lovers to overcome hindrances to their romance and each character even-tually came to have a consistent set of at-tributes in speech mannerisms and cos-tume
Earnestrsquos ldquoGalleryrdquo gives us Arlecchi-no (Harlequin) an acrobatic and devious jester Pierrot the classic sad clown and finally Scaramouche a dandy and a brag-gart who is a coward at heart
in anticipation of this yearrsquos festival i am reminded of the scene in ldquoThe Music Manrdquo in which the town awaits the ar-rival of the Wells Fargo Wagon Potentially heaped with gifts and surprises it prom-ises connection to the larger world The WWCMF brings us all ldquosomethinrsquo specialrdquo mdash an enrichment of our community and our culture

Smith has gardened for years at his home at 38 Mulberry Court in College Place He used to grow vegetables and flowers now he is strictly focusing on flowers mdash with fabulous results roses delphiniums and lots of irises line the fence
ldquoirises mdash irsquove always enjoyed themrdquo he says ldquoThey take a little bit of weeding and watering but not much morerdquo itrsquos the gardenerrsquos dream mdash low maintenance with a big return
A retired orthopedic surgeon Smith has in the past gardened more extensively than he does now But he has enough plants to keep him busy His new project is planting more of the reblooming iris These are still hardy but you get twice the reward they bloom in the spring then again in the fall
ldquoTheyrsquore easy to grow and spectacular for a short time iris take less care than a lot of thingsrdquo Smith says
His secret for gardening is simple and therersquos no getting around it ldquoTime and workrdquo he laughs
Hersquos getting ready to start in the garden ldquoi need to clean out the leaves and the old foliage of the irisrdquo
in addition to the basic cleaning and maintenance Smith just decides how many plants to keep Bulb flowers are hardy and they multiply on their own
ldquoAfter five years you usually have to separate the bulbs when they get too thick i donrsquot have room to add more i put in the new re-blooming onesrdquo he explains ldquoi may add more and a few other thingsrdquo
But in a garden you can always try something new or rearrange existing plants often with a spectacular outcome

itrsquos an odd location since it can only be seen as yoursquore leaving town but it always makes me smile This valley my adopted home is indeed a great place to be
i recently finished reading the great Western writer Wallace Stegnerrsquos book ldquoThe Sound of Mountain Waterrdquo One of his essays traces his nomadic childhood which left him feeling rootless and without a place that he felt he could call home
i identify with his feeling of not belonging i was born to a single woman from Massachusetts in a New york City hospital i stayed a scant few days before being placed with an adoption agency Born in a place i had no familial connection to i was immediately deprived of my biological family Most of my childhood was spent in suburban Cleveland Ohio Moves to upstate New york New England and Pennsylvania brought me no closer to calling any place home i loved living in the western Massachusetts town of Stockbridge but the multigenerational denizens of the town left few openings for newcomers like me i lived in central Pennsylvania for several decades but felt detached from the deep roots that most people had in the area
When we came west (for my husband a homecoming to his Oregon roots for me a new experience) i noticed that even in long-established towns like Walla Walla there is ample room for newcomers who want to be
part of the community And most folks who choose to come here donrsquot seem to want to change the valley they prefer to embrace it
While the occasional newbie whines about the lack of Whole Foods or Nordstrom they soon discover our farmers markets the wide variety of local shops and boutiques and our world-class restaurants They fall in love with our charming downtowns the small-town friendliness of the people and our kid-friendly environment Then therersquos the holiday parade the fair the ever-present Blue Mountains the parks the museums the wineries mdash really whatrsquos not to like The communities of our valley represent America at its best
irsquom a newspaper junkie i love to read everything from news to sports to classifieds mdash even the obituaries The obits are a fascinating window on our valley Many of the people chronicled were born here some lived all their lives here inextricably bound to this place But a number of people came here from other places often far away and have made a mark on our area Which makes me wonder mdash is a place any less of a hometown because you choose it or is it based primarily on the happenstance of your birth it seems that therersquos room for both paths to calling this wonderful valley home
itrsquos also our strength because collectively as a community we bring both deep familial and cultural traditions as well as the fresh perspective of newcomers to our area irsquom glad mdash after decades of searching mdash that i finally found my hometown a place that feels just right

Smith has gardened for years at his home at 38 Mulberry Court in College Place He used to grow vegetables and flowers now he is strictly focusing on flowers mdash with fabulous results roses delphiniums and lots of irises line the fence
ldquoirises mdash irsquove always enjoyed themrdquo he says ldquoThey take a little bit of weeding and watering but not much morerdquo itrsquos the gardenerrsquos dream mdash low maintenance with a big return
A retired orthopedic surgeon Smith has in the past gardened more extensively than he does now But he has enough plants to keep him busy His new project is planting more of the reblooming iris These are still hardy but you get twice the reward they bloom in the spring then again in the fall
ldquoTheyrsquore easy to grow and spectacular for a short time iris take less care than a lot of thingsrdquo Smith says
His secret for gardening is simple and therersquos no getting around it ldquoTime and workrdquo he laughs
Hersquos getting ready to start in the garden ldquoi need to clean out the leaves and the old foliage of the irisrdquo
in addition to the basic cleaning and maintenance Smith just decides how many plants to keep Bulb flowers are hardy and they multiply on their own
ldquoAfter five years you usually have to separate the bulbs when they get too thick i donrsquot have room to add more i put in the new re-blooming onesrdquo he explains ldquoi may add more and a few other thingsrdquo
But in a garden you can always try something new or rearrange existing plants often with a spectacular outcome

itrsquos an odd location since it can only be seen as yoursquore leaving town but it always makes me smile This valley my adopted home is indeed a great place to be
i recently finished reading the great Western writer Wallace Stegnerrsquos book ldquoThe Sound of Mountain Waterrdquo One of his essays traces his nomadic childhood which left him feeling rootless and without a place that he felt he could call home
i identify with his feeling of not belonging i was born to a single woman from Massachusetts in a New york City hospital i stayed a scant few days before being placed with an adoption agency Born in a place i had no familial connection to i was immediately deprived of my biological family Most of my childhood was spent in suburban Cleveland Ohio Moves to upstate New york New England and Pennsylvania brought me no closer to calling any place home i loved living in the western Massachusetts town of Stockbridge but the multigenerational denizens of the town left few openings for newcomers like me i lived in central Pennsylvania for several decades but felt detached from the deep roots that most people had in the area
When we came west (for my husband a homecoming to his Oregon roots for me a new experience) i noticed that even in long-established towns like Walla Walla there is ample room for newcomers who want to be
part of the community And most folks who choose to come here donrsquot seem to want to change the valley they prefer to embrace it
While the occasional newbie whines about the lack of Whole Foods or Nordstrom they soon discover our farmers markets the wide variety of local shops and boutiques and our world-class restaurants They fall in love with our charming downtowns the small-town friendliness of the people and our kid-friendly environment Then therersquos the holiday parade the fair the ever-present Blue Mountains the parks the museums the wineries mdash really whatrsquos not to like The communities of our valley represent America at its best
irsquom a newspaper junkie i love to read everything from news to sports to classifieds mdash even the obituaries The obits are a fascinating window on our valley Many of the people chronicled were born here some lived all their lives here inextricably bound to this place But a number of people came here from other places often far away and have made a mark on our area Which makes me wonder mdash is a place any less of a hometown because you choose it or is it based primarily on the happenstance of your birth it seems that therersquos room for both paths to calling this wonderful valley home
itrsquos also our strength because collectively as a community we bring both deep familial and cultural traditions as well as the fresh perspective of newcomers to our area irsquom glad mdash after decades of searching mdash that i finally found my hometown a place that feels just right

Smith has gardened for years at his home at 38 Mulberry Court in College Place He used to grow vegetables and flowers now he is strictly focusing on flowers mdash with fabulous results roses delphiniums and lots of irises line the fence
ldquoirises mdash irsquove always enjoyed themrdquo he says ldquoThey take a little bit of weeding and watering but not much morerdquo itrsquos the gardenerrsquos dream mdash low maintenance with a big return
A retired orthopedic surgeon Smith has in the past gardened more extensively than he does now But he has enough plants to keep him busy His new project is planting more of the reblooming iris These are still hardy but you get twice the reward they bloom in the spring then again in the fall
ldquoTheyrsquore easy to grow and spectacular for a short time iris take less care than a lot of thingsrdquo Smith says
His secret for gardening is simple and therersquos no getting around it ldquoTime and workrdquo he laughs
Hersquos getting ready to start in the garden ldquoi need to clean out the leaves and the old foliage of the irisrdquo
in addition to the basic cleaning and maintenance Smith just decides how many plants to keep Bulb flowers are hardy and they multiply on their own
ldquoAfter five years you usually have to separate the bulbs when they get too thick i donrsquot have room to add more i put in the new re-blooming onesrdquo he explains ldquoi may add more and a few other thingsrdquo
But in a garden you can always try something new or rearrange existing plants often with a spectacular outcome

itrsquos an odd location since it can only be seen as yoursquore leaving town but it always makes me smile This valley my adopted home is indeed a great place to be
i recently finished reading the great Western writer Wallace Stegnerrsquos book ldquoThe Sound of Mountain Waterrdquo One of his essays traces his nomadic childhood which left him feeling rootless and without a place that he felt he could call home
i identify with his feeling of not belonging i was born to a single woman from Massachusetts in a New york City hospital i stayed a scant few days before being placed with an adoption agency Born in a place i had no familial connection to i was immediately deprived of my biological family Most of my childhood was spent in suburban Cleveland Ohio Moves to upstate New york New England and Pennsylvania brought me no closer to calling any place home i loved living in the western Massachusetts town of Stockbridge but the multigenerational denizens of the town left few openings for newcomers like me i lived in central Pennsylvania for several decades but felt detached from the deep roots that most people had in the area
When we came west (for my husband a homecoming to his Oregon roots for me a new experience) i noticed that even in long-established towns like Walla Walla there is ample room for newcomers who want to be
part of the community And most folks who choose to come here donrsquot seem to want to change the valley they prefer to embrace it
While the occasional newbie whines about the lack of Whole Foods or Nordstrom they soon discover our farmers markets the wide variety of local shops and boutiques and our world-class restaurants They fall in love with our charming downtowns the small-town friendliness of the people and our kid-friendly environment Then therersquos the holiday parade the fair the ever-present Blue Mountains the parks the museums the wineries mdash really whatrsquos not to like The communities of our valley represent America at its best
irsquom a newspaper junkie i love to read everything from news to sports to classifieds mdash even the obituaries The obits are a fascinating window on our valley Many of the people chronicled were born here some lived all their lives here inextricably bound to this place But a number of people came here from other places often far away and have made a mark on our area Which makes me wonder mdash is a place any less of a hometown because you choose it or is it based primarily on the happenstance of your birth it seems that therersquos room for both paths to calling this wonderful valley home
itrsquos also our strength because collectively as a community we bring both deep familial and cultural traditions as well as the fresh perspective of newcomers to our area irsquom glad mdash after decades of searching mdash that i finally found my hometown a place that feels just right

Smith has gardened for years at his home at 38 Mulberry Court in College Place He used to grow vegetables and flowers now he is strictly focusing on flowers mdash with fabulous results roses delphiniums and lots of irises line the fence
ldquoirises mdash irsquove always enjoyed themrdquo he says ldquoThey take a little bit of weeding and watering but not much morerdquo itrsquos the gardenerrsquos dream mdash low maintenance with a big return
A retired orthopedic surgeon Smith has in the past gardened more extensively than he does now But he has enough plants to keep him busy His new project is planting more of the reblooming iris These are still hardy but you get twice the reward they bloom in the spring then again in the fall
ldquoTheyrsquore easy to grow and spectacular for a short time iris take less care than a lot of thingsrdquo Smith says
His secret for gardening is simple and therersquos no getting around it ldquoTime and workrdquo he laughs
Hersquos getting ready to start in the garden ldquoi need to clean out the leaves and the old foliage of the irisrdquo
in addition to the basic cleaning and maintenance Smith just decides how many plants to keep Bulb flowers are hardy and they multiply on their own
ldquoAfter five years you usually have to separate the bulbs when they get too thick i donrsquot have room to add more i put in the new re-blooming onesrdquo he explains ldquoi may add more and a few other thingsrdquo
But in a garden you can always try something new or rearrange existing plants often with a spectacular outcome

itrsquos an odd location since it can only be seen as yoursquore leaving town but it always makes me smile This valley my adopted home is indeed a great place to be
i recently finished reading the great Western writer Wallace Stegnerrsquos book ldquoThe Sound of Mountain Waterrdquo One of his essays traces his nomadic childhood which left him feeling rootless and without a place that he felt he could call home
i identify with his feeling of not belonging i was born to a single woman from Massachusetts in a New york City hospital i stayed a scant few days before being placed with an adoption agency Born in a place i had no familial connection to i was immediately deprived of my biological family Most of my childhood was spent in suburban Cleveland Ohio Moves to upstate New york New England and Pennsylvania brought me no closer to calling any place home i loved living in the western Massachusetts town of Stockbridge but the multigenerational denizens of the town left few openings for newcomers like me i lived in central Pennsylvania for several decades but felt detached from the deep roots that most people had in the area
When we came west (for my husband a homecoming to his Oregon roots for me a new experience) i noticed that even in long-established towns like Walla Walla there is ample room for newcomers who want to be
part of the community And most folks who choose to come here donrsquot seem to want to change the valley they prefer to embrace it
While the occasional newbie whines about the lack of Whole Foods or Nordstrom they soon discover our farmers markets the wide variety of local shops and boutiques and our world-class restaurants They fall in love with our charming downtowns the small-town friendliness of the people and our kid-friendly environment Then therersquos the holiday parade the fair the ever-present Blue Mountains the parks the museums the wineries mdash really whatrsquos not to like The communities of our valley represent America at its best
irsquom a newspaper junkie i love to read everything from news to sports to classifieds mdash even the obituaries The obits are a fascinating window on our valley Many of the people chronicled were born here some lived all their lives here inextricably bound to this place But a number of people came here from other places often far away and have made a mark on our area Which makes me wonder mdash is a place any less of a hometown because you choose it or is it based primarily on the happenstance of your birth it seems that therersquos room for both paths to calling this wonderful valley home
itrsquos also our strength because collectively as a community we bring both deep familial and cultural traditions as well as the fresh perspective of newcomers to our area irsquom glad mdash after decades of searching mdash that i finally found my hometown a place that feels just right

itrsquos an odd location since it can only be seen as yoursquore leaving town but it always makes me smile This valley my adopted home is indeed a great place to be
i recently finished reading the great Western writer Wallace Stegnerrsquos book ldquoThe Sound of Mountain Waterrdquo One of his essays traces his nomadic childhood which left him feeling rootless and without a place that he felt he could call home
i identify with his feeling of not belonging i was born to a single woman from Massachusetts in a New york City hospital i stayed a scant few days before being placed with an adoption agency Born in a place i had no familial connection to i was immediately deprived of my biological family Most of my childhood was spent in suburban Cleveland Ohio Moves to upstate New york New England and Pennsylvania brought me no closer to calling any place home i loved living in the western Massachusetts town of Stockbridge but the multigenerational denizens of the town left few openings for newcomers like me i lived in central Pennsylvania for several decades but felt detached from the deep roots that most people had in the area
When we came west (for my husband a homecoming to his Oregon roots for me a new experience) i noticed that even in long-established towns like Walla Walla there is ample room for newcomers who want to be
part of the community And most folks who choose to come here donrsquot seem to want to change the valley they prefer to embrace it
While the occasional newbie whines about the lack of Whole Foods or Nordstrom they soon discover our farmers markets the wide variety of local shops and boutiques and our world-class restaurants They fall in love with our charming downtowns the small-town friendliness of the people and our kid-friendly environment Then therersquos the holiday parade the fair the ever-present Blue Mountains the parks the museums the wineries mdash really whatrsquos not to like The communities of our valley represent America at its best
irsquom a newspaper junkie i love to read everything from news to sports to classifieds mdash even the obituaries The obits are a fascinating window on our valley Many of the people chronicled were born here some lived all their lives here inextricably bound to this place But a number of people came here from other places often far away and have made a mark on our area Which makes me wonder mdash is a place any less of a hometown because you choose it or is it based primarily on the happenstance of your birth it seems that therersquos room for both paths to calling this wonderful valley home
itrsquos also our strength because collectively as a community we bring both deep familial and cultural traditions as well as the fresh perspective of newcomers to our area irsquom glad mdash after decades of searching mdash that i finally found my hometown a place that feels just right

itrsquos an odd location since it can only be seen as yoursquore leaving town but it always makes me smile This valley my adopted home is indeed a great place to be
i recently finished reading the great Western writer Wallace Stegnerrsquos book ldquoThe Sound of Mountain Waterrdquo One of his essays traces his nomadic childhood which left him feeling rootless and without a place that he felt he could call home
i identify with his feeling of not belonging i was born to a single woman from Massachusetts in a New york City hospital i stayed a scant few days before being placed with an adoption agency Born in a place i had no familial connection to i was immediately deprived of my biological family Most of my childhood was spent in suburban Cleveland Ohio Moves to upstate New york New England and Pennsylvania brought me no closer to calling any place home i loved living in the western Massachusetts town of Stockbridge but the multigenerational denizens of the town left few openings for newcomers like me i lived in central Pennsylvania for several decades but felt detached from the deep roots that most people had in the area
When we came west (for my husband a homecoming to his Oregon roots for me a new experience) i noticed that even in long-established towns like Walla Walla there is ample room for newcomers who want to be
part of the community And most folks who choose to come here donrsquot seem to want to change the valley they prefer to embrace it
While the occasional newbie whines about the lack of Whole Foods or Nordstrom they soon discover our farmers markets the wide variety of local shops and boutiques and our world-class restaurants They fall in love with our charming downtowns the small-town friendliness of the people and our kid-friendly environment Then therersquos the holiday parade the fair the ever-present Blue Mountains the parks the museums the wineries mdash really whatrsquos not to like The communities of our valley represent America at its best
irsquom a newspaper junkie i love to read everything from news to sports to classifieds mdash even the obituaries The obits are a fascinating window on our valley Many of the people chronicled were born here some lived all their lives here inextricably bound to this place But a number of people came here from other places often far away and have made a mark on our area Which makes me wonder mdash is a place any less of a hometown because you choose it or is it based primarily on the happenstance of your birth it seems that therersquos room for both paths to calling this wonderful valley home
itrsquos also our strength because collectively as a community we bring both deep familial and cultural traditions as well as the fresh perspective of newcomers to our area irsquom glad mdash after decades of searching mdash that i finally found my hometown a place that feels just right
