FORKS, WA---It took Roberta Wood a 2,000 mile plane ride, two ferries, two transit bus rides and a long drive around Lake Crescent to visit Carl Lausche in the West End of Clallam County, WA.
Lausche, 86, lives in a comfortable new mobile home in a clearing behind his daughter Linda’s house surrounded by miles of deep evergreen forest, mountains, and glacial rivers that teem with salmon and steelhead. The region is famed for receiving 114 inches, 12 feet of rain annually.
A long time PWW subscriber, Lausche welcomed Wood, this writer, and his wife Joyce to his home. He is almost totally deaf so Linda served as interpreter in our conversation. His home is decorated with cards from President Obama thanking him for his generous support in the 2008 presidential election.
