Galloping and gimping on a European tour a tally of how many British planes were shot down each day on a blackboard. We walked on from there to see Big Ben being refurbished.

Editor’s note: This month’s installment of Jeanne Keatts’ Travelogue tells of a European tour she took in 2019 with her significant other, Bob Williams, also of Clarkston, her son Ken Keatts and his partner, Steven Pendleton. ob has had a difficult time trying to go on a trip overseas. In 2015, he and I were going to Turkey, a place I really wanted to see. On July 4, I ended up in a hospital in Spokane, so that trip was canceled.

Then Bob had two knee operations, after TRAVELOGUE which he broke his leg. Ken was determined Bob should go on this 2019 trip, so Bob got a four-wheel walker he could sit in. Ken and Steven pushed him, and that seemed to work OK. We flew directly from Seattle to London.

Day 2: We took the train to Canterbury in Kent, where we saw the huge cathedral. It is beautiful and is the home of the Bishop of Canterbury. Arch Bishop Thomas Beckett was murdered by knights of King Henry VIII. The church is constantly under renovation.

Ken met some Seattle friends from St. James Cathedral. After hearing the friends singing in Canterbury, we went out for dinner.

We took the wrong train back and ended up 10 miles from our hotel. We had to take four trains to get back “home,” late at night and fatigued after walking all day.

DAY 1: The first day in London, we walked around Buckingham Palace, along with about 1,000 other people, and saw the changing of the guard. Those folks surely walk precision steps!

We saw the palace from a distance on the Thames River bank. We toured the city sites and St. Paul’s Cathedral, an Anglican church, seat of the Bishop of London. First building on this site was built in 604.

The current cathedral was built in the 1600s by Sir Christopher Wren. It is a working church, with hourly prayers and from five to T U E S D A Y, J U L Y 5 , 2 0 2 2

The English Reformation under Henry VIII in 1538 broke away from the Catholic Church. The cathedral was rebuilt in

1697, blitzed in World War II, and Winston Churchill decreed it be saved.

We got a look at the “Big Eye,” the huge Ferris wheel, one of London’s

tourist attractions. We didn’t ride on it. We went to Churchill’s WWII underground quarters. People lived down there in stark circumstances. They kept

A season filled with shock, sorrow and sadness person is never ready to hear of a death, but news of this one came the afternoon of the day I was already reeling from the horrible news of the slaughter of those 19 children and two teachers in Uvalde, Texas.

My daughter Beth was already out of the house at an early dental appointment when I saw the story on TV that morning. She was sitting in the waiting room when her cellphone rang. It was her cousin, Lynn, my sister Marlene’s daughter. She shared the news that Marlene had died at 5:30 a.m.

Because of a second appointment, it was 2 p.m. before Beth could tell me the sad news of Marlene’s passing. Her death was not unexpected, as Lynn had kept us informed of her mostly sleeping and not eating. Yet, we are never ready for the finality of a loved one’s death. She was 95.

Marlene and I were the last of

A

MOVING FORWARD

Ruth Bosserman 12 children. We had enjoyed sharing that honor, but now, without her, it felt very lonely being the last one living.

Recalling the grievous news from the morning TV, I comforted myself by thinking that there was a need for her presence in heaven. She was there as a mother, grandmother and nurse, to comfort and care for those shattered children and their teachers. It was just a thought, but it helped me as I grieved.

I was 3 years old when Mother died at the birth of her 12th child, a girl she named Lois.

We younger children ended up

in the children’s home in Lewiston, and eventually were adopted by couples wanting children.

Marlene was adopted by a couple from Wallace; Vangie by a Moscow farm family; and I was adopted by a Clarkston couple. Little Raymond was taken by a couple from Moscow when Mother died.

Baby Lois was taken immediately to be raised by an aunt and uncle.

Both my brother, Harold, and Marlene felt compelled to help us all stay in touch, although our lives were in different homes and with different lifestyles. Fortunately, these were Christian homes. Harold visited each of us, and Marlene and husband Clyde made it a goal to keep us all in touch and get us together as often as possible.

I mentioned one time that I had never met Lois. Marlene arranged to bring Lois down from Spokane to Clarkston to meet me.

I had just graduated from

Clarkston High School and had a job at J.C. Penney. Lois was three years younger than I, and when Marlene introduced us, it was like staring at my twin! She had the same shoulder-length hair style, and even more amazing, was wearing the same pixie-style shoes. Our voices were even alike.

Down through the years even more instances arose that showed we were very much alike. How sad that we didn’t get to grow up together!

This has not been an easy column to write, but all your love and support sustain me. I hear from so many of you with such kind expressions of friendship and interest in all my doings! You are in my prayers.

Love, Ruth Bosserman Bosserman, 93, is a retired Clarkston first grade teacher. She may be reached by email at ruthboss20@gmail.com.

Pack some Aspercreme and go see the world ealth issues like COVID-19 have made travel more difficult — but it’s not impossible. Restrictions are being lifted, mask mandates removed and people are more able to be on the move.

Physical impairments don’t have to keep you home. Airlines have wheelchairs and assistants to get clients who need them to their gates or planes. Carts are available to help with luggage.

And wheelchairs and scooters can be included as baggage. Check airlines for information when you make your reservations.

Tips for service providers are welcome.

Hotels have accessible rooms that provide more space to move about, with ground-floor entrance, and safety bars in bathrooms.

While cruise ships have been hampered by the pandemic, the handicapped are still assisted; some have modified accessible cabins and cribs. Once aboard, there are lots of activities without having to debark. The entire family can travel together and enjoy the adventure. Medical attention is available aboard ship. Some cruise lines are staffed by American crew members and sail in American waters.

There are vacation rentals available that allow you to take a large house with lots of amenities, so an entire family can stay together and have onsite kitchen and laundry facilities for convenience. These can save funds when traveling with a large group and offer a bit of a homeaway-from-home experience.

Being on the road with grandkids is an enjoyable way to get better acquainted.

There’s something about travel together that creates an even stronger bond.

On one road trip I took with one 13-yearold grandson and another who was 21 at the time, taught me a lot. We listened to a variety of music, including rock, hip-hop and country. OK, so I’ll admit they limited my country choice, but to my amusement, this year while riding in the car with the oldest, he brought up a country artist he liked and put in music we both enjoyed.

prejudice I’d denied or ignored, carried my bags and insisted I try new places to eat. Driving from Virginia Beach to Orlando, Fla., in a pickup truck with these two was an adventure. We visited historical places, saw tobacco GALLIVANTING and peanut crops and I watched entranced as the GRANNY first cardinal I had ever seen in person took flight.

On another trip to British Columbia, Canada, my grandson booked a salmon fishing charter.

Chrome-bright salmon baked on a cedar plank were the most delicious fish I’d ever eaten.

Upon exploration of the town, he spied a zodiac raft excursion to see eagles and bears. I balked. He convinced me to go.

I muttered under my breath as I zipped into an orange waterproof jumpsuit.

We got wet, but the sights we saw made lasting impressions. I still can remember the sights and sounds of bears digging beneath the rocks at the shoreline for crabs.

They threw rocks that appeared to be boulders behind them like they were marbles.

We could hear the crunch of the shells as they ate the crabs. The eagles soared, and otters basked. What a delight to see!

This year we visited Florida. In Key West, we saw treasure recovered from the sunken ship Atocha at a museum, visited writer Ernest Hemingway’s house and went to see race cars at the track.

My favorite place was a trip to Sanibel Island, where we hunted seashells.

Before returning home, we took an alligator-hunting excursion. Some now call me Gator Granny.

Yup, my joints ached, but they would have done so equally at home.

Go, my friends, just go. You can do it.

Make yourself get off the couch, out of the chair, and go. Hire a cat sitter, board the dog, do whatever you have to do to make it happen. I’m pretty sure you’ll be glad you did. Someday memories will be the best thing we ever gave family and the most important thing we ever have.

no. This can’t be the right place. It was huge, well kept, and the floors didn’t even creak with our steps.

The lights all worked, the plumbing was sound, and we found no short-cuts in the building. It was solid.

It was too nice.

There was no way we could afford this house.

I wouldn’t let my hopes begin to rise.

“Well, do you like it?” our new banker friend asked.

“It’s beautiful, so roomy. Perfect for raising our two small kids,” we responded. “But ... ” “If you want the house, leave the “but” to me. I’ll take care of the financing.

I know about your other house. I’ll even pay for an inspector to go through this house and make sure it’s sound.”

Bill Leatham was true to his word. His bank gave us a loan on the property. We assumed the balance of his home loan at another bank as the down payment. Combined payments were within our reach. Unbelievable.

It’s still a sound house and paid for long ago. It’s called “home” by my two kids, has provided space for big parties, given a temporary home to women, and been my place of shelter and comfort for 50 years. A quiet sanctuary for healing and rest. It’s a miracle house.

In homage to the home I

t’s no wonder home ownership has been closely associated with the “American dream” through the years: Our homes are our havens. They can feel like an extension of ourselves — the sacred space where we raise families, gather with friends, work, play and rest. In that spirit, we asked readers to share what makes their homes special. Thanks to all who shared; here are your stories.

— Golden Times editor Julie Breslin

It was destined to become her domain About 32 years ago, I found the house that was absolutely meant to be mine! I lived two blocks away and on my daily walk I would stare at this house and think how much I loved it.

Through the window I could see inside a little, and I loved the outside, but more importantly, somehow, I KNEW, heart and soul, that this house was meant to be mine. So one day I walked up and knocked on the door. I simply told the owner that if she ever wanted to sell her home, I would want to buy it.

The surprised resident said that she was happy I liked it, and I gave her my contact information. So, lo and behold, about a year later she called me and we negotiated a price (I paid more than I should have, but I didn’t care).

My family moved in in 1992, and I have been here ever since. This house saw a difficult divorce, a beautiful remarriage, two new stepdaughters, multiple, multiple, multiple pets, and enormous joy and happiness. Now all four of our children and seven grandchildren would be incredibly distraught if we ever sold. It is truly our home that was meant to be.

“This quote was given to us by my stepdaughter,” Bechinski wrote. “Everyone thinks it is exactly right!” The J.R.R. Tolkien quote says: “That house ... was a perfect house, whether you like food or sleep or storytelling or singing, or just sitting and thinking best, or a pleasant mixture of them all. Merely to be there was a cure for weariness, fear and sadness.”

Can walk to all of their favorite haunts My wife, Barbara, and I have enjoyed living for 30 years during retirement at 701 Ninth Ave. in Lewiston. We love our 100-year-old home and its location a block from Lewis-Clark State College and a block from our Congregational-Presbyterian Church.

Barbara served on many church committees, and just walks over. I go to our church three mornings a week for the fit-and-fall exercise class. We have had a new bathroom and new kitchen built since we have lived here, and Barbara enjoys her kitchen. She also enjoys our house because before us her Granddad Evans lived in it.

We laugh when we tell people that we haven’t gone very far in our 80-plus years of life, because were both born at St. Joseph’s Hospital a few blocks away. Also, we both graduated from Lewiston High School a few blocks up Ninth Avenue. We have our plots prepared at Normal Hill Cemetery, a few blocks away, where we plan to be buried by our parents.

Here are a few little family historical tidbits of information. Barbara attended the Normal Elementary School from grades four through eight, and I practiced baseball on Harris Field in the summers of 1948, 1949 and 1950, when I played for Lewiston’s American Legion team, which won the state championship each year I played. We played our games at Bengal Field, but practiced at the LCSC because our coach, Ced Kinzer, also coached at the college.

For 25 years Barbara and I have been scholarship boosters for the LCSC Lady Warrior basketball team. Each year, we have supported a different girl, and our first girl was Amanda Campbell, an All-American from Portland. Last month we sat with her when she was inducted into the LCSC Athletic Hall of Fame. We have enjoyed girls basketball since I coached the girls team at Anatone High School in 1969, and when our daughter Jolyn was a good player for Highland High School in Craigmont in the 197376 years. Barbara says that watching the LCSC lady Warriors is our winter entertainment.

I have been a baseball player and fan since 1944, and played for Lewiston High School, American Legion, and the Idaho Vandals. When the NAIA World Series is played at Harris Field each year in late May, my former teammates Ray Copeland, Roger Olson and Ed McComas and their wives come from Spokane, Seattle and San Francisco, and we all have a fun time for a week.

We enjoy living by the college where our son Doug graduated and now lives a few blocks away.

Our other two children, a daughter-in-law and two grandchildren all graduated from the University of Idaho. For “dedication and commitment to Lewis-Clark State College,” I received the Aletha Pabst Award from LCSC in 2013.

Yes, we do enjoy our home and the Normal Hill area where we live.

Cynthia King’s historic Moscow home.

A new perch for a new season of life After I was widowed nine years ago at age 55, it was a comfort for awhile to stay in our home on the southeast edge of Moscow. Yet I knew I couldn’t sustain that — the house and yard were too big, too distant from downtown and too full of my past with my husband.

So I started praying for a next home that I might enjoy and make the most of. Five years ago, my prayers were answered when I attended a real estate open house, subsequently bought my 1889 home in the Fort Russell Historic District, and began having it remodeled.

There’s not really space to detail all the ways my home and yard are exactly suited to me, but briefly: I enjoy hosting people, and the open, high-ceiling downstairs is convertible to accommodate three dining tables or 40 seated in a circle; my downstairs bedroom and bath give me one-level living as I age; upstairs bedrooms welcome family, friends and other visitors; I easily can walk the short distance to downtown Moscow and other central locations; I readily can manage the lawn and garden of my minuscule lot; a permeable driveway and patio, drip irrigation, small apGOLDEN TIMES

pliances and zoned heating and cooling help me save on water, energy and costs.

Unexpected delights of my home have been the child-charming second-floor crawl spaces extending from room to room (I provide strap-on headlamps), and the weird old treasures found in the walls during remodeling.

The exterior includes these highlights: ï First, adding the 1889 Queen Anne cottage-style front porch back onto my home has provided a perch from which I enjoy the morning sun and greet my neighbors. ï Second, the irony of the rooftop widow’s walk is not lost on me — and was one of those serendipitous “coincidences” that helped confirm my decision to buy this house. Who ELSE should have it? ï Third, my project was a rewarding and admired challenge for the many craftspeople who remodeled it … even as they answered questions over two summers from curious passersby. ï And fourth, my home has continued to be a bright corner to the neighbors who live near and walk past. It was honored in 2019 with an Orchid Award from the Moscow

See HOMAGE TO THE HOME, Page 10 9

HOMAGE to the HOME > Continued from PAGE 9 Historic Preservation Commission, which also inspired me to become a member of that commission.

Friends who also received an

Orchid Award a few years earlier for work on their home reminded me that, in our renovations, we are loving our neighbors by preserving and restoring the history of where we all live. I am grateful that I have been able to add beauty for my neighbors in this way while regarding the past of the hometown I love.

A French hymn based on the Hebrew psalm, Psalm 68, speaks of God as a defender of widows, adding that “He in the goodness of His grace gives lonely ones a dwelling place; He grants them consolation.” I am thankful that this is proving true for me in this home.

Carted classic cottage across the river We found our house on Fourth Street and 10th Avenue in Lewiston. Lewis-Clark State College was expanding, and this 1920s-era house was on the list to be demolished. We had a vacant lot in west Clarkston, and we thought the house would be a welcome addition.

Ken Bausch, a house mover in Lewiston, agreed to move it if we would help.

After jacking it up on the truck bed, Ken moved it south to 10th Avenue, then he moved the huge wheels 90 degrees. We were all set for the caravan to Clarkston. At 9:30 a.m., we set off. We crossed the river on the eastbound lane of the Southway Bridge. Ken Bausch walked in front, and I rode on top of the roof to lift wires over the top, and I used a small chain saw to cut away tree branches as we encountered them.

Later in the morning, we got to our lot. Ken poured the cement footings and the basement walls for our house. After the cement was set up, he lowered the house and set it on the basement walls.

This started a two-year renovation program, with my wife and I rebuilding the house to 2001 standards.

First, we had to put on a new roof to keep the deteriorated asphalt shingles from blowing over onto our neighbor’s property. Then we put in sprinklers to keep the dust down.

Inside the house, we removed most of the lath and plaster, and all of the knob-and-tube wiring. We rewired, replumbed, furred out walls and insulated them, added insulation to the ceiling and replaced the old windows with double-panes.

We hired great contractors to help with the renovation. Some of them were: Mr. Schmidt to help with concrete; Mr. Hickenbottom for texturing the walls and ceilings; Mr. Moser, who did some wrought-iron work; Stan Hill who did carpet laying. The county inspectors were very reasonable and agreeable.

Twenty years later, we had to repaint the outside of the house, but we love it and it suits us.

GOLDEN TIMES

T U E S D A Y, J U L Y 5 , 2 0 2 2

A house of memories and stories The day that I met my late husband, Bill Hall, I told him I was hunting for a house on Normal Hill, preferably on Prospect Avenue.

“That’s funny,” he said, “I’m looking for a house on Prospect, too.”

That was the beginning of our long and happy life together. For the two years we were dating, we looked at every house that came up for sale on Prospect Avenue. The house we finally bought 38 years ago at 1012 Prospect has brought joy not only to us but to our family and friends. It has been the site of family reunions, weddings (including my Zoom wedding during the pandemic to my new husband, Bill “Doc” Grant), birthday dinners, club meetings, sculpture classes and many, many parties.

Over the years, our house on Prospect Avenue has changed considerably. The original basement garage has become a fourth bedroom, a utility room/bathroom, a storage room and a wine cellar. In 1997, an addition, designed by my daughter Shannon and her husband, Tim, both architects, has given us a lovely dining room, covered deck, and, beneath those, my spacious sculpture studio.

In 2021, Shannon designed a second addition to accommodate my new husband Doc’s many books and belongings. It includes a beautiful library, another bathroom, and a walk-in closet upstairs, and downstairs a storage room and Doc’s office. The house, which was originally a rectangle became, with Shannon’s help, first an L shape and then a U shape.

The original house, which turned 100 this year, is the source of many interesting stories. One of my favorites came from my friend Eleanor, who has since died. She told me that when she was a child walking to school at the Normal School, she watched the brick layers lay the brick for our house.

Several often-hilarious stories came from our next-door neighbor Harry, also now deceased. I’ll share just one: One tenant of our house was a man named Mose Tyler. Harry said Mose was given to drink and to arguing loudly with his wife, Rosie. One day Harry heard loud cursing and cries for help coming from Mose’s bedroom.

He went next door to investigate and found Mose tied spreadeagled to his four-poster bed. Rosie had apparently come home to find him passed out and had tied him up, removed all the money from his wallet and taken a taxi home to her mother. I think it was Wallace she moved to, but I heard the story a long time ago; anyway, someplace a considerable distance from Lewiston.

So, our house is not only the repository of many happy memories and a few sad ones, it will probably be the source of stories long after we are gone.

Charlette Kremer’s restored Victorian home in the Normal Hill neighborhood in Lewiston.

The historic home of our dreams In 2002, we decided to move to Lewiston from Potlatch to cut down on my daily twohour commute. We had spent a year looking for homes in Moscow with no success, so we expanded our search to the Valley.

As luck would have it, on the day of the open house for our Potlatch home, the Tribune had a “Parade of Homes” insert in the paper. As we were looking at the offerings, one home stood out. An old Victorian on Normal Hill. There was no price, no Multiple Listing Services number, and no address. But I knew that house and exactly where it was. We drove to Lewiston so my husband could take a look at it from outside.

We agreed to contact our real estate agent to arrange a tour.

The next day I visited the house on my lunch hour and fell in love! I called my husband and told him he had to leave work early so he could come and have a look, too.

He agreed, but made me promise that if we decided we both liked it, we would sleep on it overnight before we made an offer.

We toured the house together that afternoon and as we walked back to our car, my husband stopped, looked at our agent and GOLDEN TIMES

said, “We better head to your office to write up an offer.” That was on a Monday and our offer was accepted on Wednesday.

The house never did get an MLS number or a for sale sign. The owners had decided to list it on Thursday, we looked at it on Monday and it was ours on Wednesday. We were the first and only people to look at the home.

In the meantime, my husband and I became foster parents to his two stepdaughters, and the timing worked out so we all moved in to our new home the same week. It was truly the start of our blended family that now includes nine grandchildren.

We still live in our beautiful 1899 Victorian today. It was built by Christian Osmers (the Owl Drug founder) for $1,200, which he financed at 10% interest. He later sold it to R.N. Wright who was the first superintendent of the Lewiston School District. We’ve replaced the roof, painted the exterior twice, renovated the primary bathroom and kitchen and moved the laundry room to the main floor.

We plan to stay in this old house until we pass. It’s a part of our family and a part of Lewiston history.

We consider ourselves so fortunate to be caretakers of this lovely, historic home.

— Charlette Kremer, 67, Lewiston
