One of the best afternoons in a long time. I have not seen my cousin Ruth in almost 15 years. We talk on Facebook all of the time and keep saying we need to get together. She was in the area today for the Fourth Of July weekend and we had lunch together. We sat and talked for hours about our parents, our aunts and uncles. Just a perfect afternoon.

Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Sexual Violence in Conflict Ms. Pramila Patten Concludes Visit to Iraq and Stresses Need to Do More to Protect and Support Victims of Daesh’s Sexual Violence Crimes
(Baghdad/New York, 05 March 2018)
The Special Representative of the United Nations Secretary-General on Sexual Violence in Conflict, Ms. Pramila Patten, concluded an eight-day visit to Iraq during which she heard first-hand the heart wrenching accounts of survivors of Daesh’s sexual violence. She stressed the need to ensure that survivors of conflict-related sexual violence are fully protected and that perpetrators of these horrendous crimes are brought to justice.
Special Representative Patten met with Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi and with other senior Government officials, at federal, regional and provincial levels in Baghdad, Erbil and Mosul. She also engaged directly with survivors, civil society groups and with Christian, Shia, Sunni, Turkmen Shia and Yazidi religious leaders. A strong message from the survivors relating to the plight of women and girls still under captivity as well as their missing family members was taken up with the Government by Special Representative Patten. She enquired about ongoing efforts to locate those missing and urged the authorities to expedite their rescue.
Many of the women who remain displaced expressed serious safety concerns regarding their return to their homes and shared their fear of reprisals. “I call on all religious and tribal leaders to welcome back survivors of sexual violence and their children, and the Government to find legal avenues to recognize their children as Iraqi citizens,” said Ms. Patten. “It is essential for all to work towards shifting the stigma from the victims to the perpetrators. I also urge the Government to ensure that women and girls who were victims of Daesh are not wrongfully perceived as being their ‘affiliates’.”
During discussion with Iraqi Officials on the question of justice and accountability, while acknowledging the efforts of the Government, the Special Representative stressed the importance of ensuring that alleged perpetrators are held accountable not only for the crime of terrorism but for the full extent of the sexual violence crimes perpetrated on Iraqi women and children including abduction, rape, sexual slavery and forced marriages. She noted in this regard that her Office stands ready to work directly with Iraqi judges, investigators and prosecutors together with the new Investigative Team established under UNSCR 2379. Her Team of Experts on the Rule of Law and Sexual Violence also stands ready to provide support in the area of legislative reform in particular to criminalize war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide in Iraq.
In Mosul, where thousands of Iraqi women and girls were subjected to rape, sexual slavery and other grave forms of sexual violence perpetrated by Daesh, Ms. Patten was joined by Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon, Minister of State at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and the United Kingdom’s Prime Minister’s Special Representative on Preventing Sexual Violence in Conflict. They both called on the authorities of Ninewa Governorate to address the pressing needs of survivors in ongoing reconstruction efforts, including through the significant scaling-up of medical services, mental health and psychosocial support and economic livelihoods opportunities.
Ms. Patten’s visit from 26 February to 5 March 2018 was at the invitation of the Government, pursuant to the United Nations/Iraq Joint Communiqué to Prevent and Address Conflict-Related Sexual Violence of 2016. Her visit marks the endorsement of the Joint Communiqué’s Implementation Plan featuring specific measures related to justice and accountability, survivor-centered services and engagement with civil society organizations, religious/tribal leaders and the media. “The development of this implementation plan demonstrates the continuous commitment of the Government of Iraq to address the plight of the victims of conflict-related sexual violence,” stressed Special Representative Patten.
“While I congratulate the Government of Iraq for its military defeat of Daesh, I urge the Government to pursue its efforts to rescue those missing, to ensure justice and reparations to all victims of the heinous crimes of sexual violence and to include women in its peacebuilding, reconciliation and reconstruction initiatives,” stated Special Representative Patten.

you tried not to hurt and yet

Tomb of Alfred Hope Patten, priest, 1885-1958 best known for his restoration of the Anglican Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham.
An introspective only child, he became an Anglo-Catholic in Brighton whilst still a teenager, He became interested in not only the medieval church but also the religious life, visiting the Anglican Benedictines at Painsthorpe in 1906 and being profoundly influenced by their abbot Aelred Carlyle.
After attending Lichfield Theological College he was ordained deacon in 1913 at Holy Cross Church in the St Pancras area. After 3 other curacies, including the Good Shepherd church, Carshalton, in 1921 he became vicar of Great and Little Walsingham with St Giles' Houghton. Within months of arriving he had a statue of Our Lady of Walsingham modelled on the medieval priory's seal and placed it in the parish's main church, St Mary's. He also started Marian devotions in his church and - aided by the League of Our Lady (later the Society of Mary) - the first pilgrimages from London. His bishop opposed the statue and he agreed to move it out of the church in 1931, using this as a chance to rebuild the Holy House here, which was rebuilt in 1938 to accommodate rising pilgrim numbers. On his death he was buried in the churchyard of St Mary's. www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=pv&GRid=158173... - Anglican Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham, Norfolk
Cadishead and Irlam Guardian 1966.
Irlam's history is an 'eye-opener'
A collection of more than 350 photographs and about 50 other miscellaneous items depicting the district's past and more recent history have been on view in the reference department of the Irlam Branch Library this week - and have been "opening the eyes" of people, young and old, who have been to see them.
The exhibition, part of the National Library Week, has been made possible by the willingness of many people to respond to an appeal which was made by the organiser, Mrs M. Beeston, Librarian-in-Charge,for the loan of interesting keepsakes.
"I am very grateful," she told the "Guardian", "for the support and co-operation given by local organisations, firms, churches and members of the public." A number of items have also been loaned by the Monks' Hall Museum at Eccles. In all, 430 photographs have been sent to Mrs Beeston, but there is not enough room for them all to be displayed.
Loving cup
Mrs Beeston has managed to assemble together, under one roof, a fascinating and certainly unique picture of the Irlam of yester-year which will seem unbelievable to a newcomer to the district. It is so compelling that anyone slipping into the room for a casual glance will be surprised how long they are actually in there.
Many of the exhibits are so unusual it would be impossible to single any out as the highlight. For example, there is a two-handled church "loving-cup" which was filled with tea or water and then passed round for each member of the congregation to sip during a "love-feast" - a simple meal, something similar to the Holy Communion service which was held up until the last (19th) century.
This item has been loaned by St Paul's Methodist Church, Irlam, but the Rev. H.A. Dodd, minister, told the "Guardian" the cup had probably not been used in their present building.
Water filter
There is a 19th-century water filter - which looks rather like a pitcher mentioned in the Bible - used on Irlam Moss to provide the farmers with fresh water from the streams. This is one of the interesting items which originate from Oakfield Farm, and it is understood that at one time, cinders were used for the filtering process.
The now-famous cannon-ball, found in Platt's Brook, Irlam, last year, occupies a pride of place under a glass case along with sets of commemorative medals, horse pattens, a section of Baines 1833 Tramway line across the Moss (loaned by Mr James Johnson), and a silver key presented by the late Clr F.J. Melville when Princes Park was opened (in 1931???) (loaned by Mrs Webster.
There is also a "firemark - a metal plate which was fixed to buildings to show that they were insured against fire in the days before the National Fire Service. If there was a fire, the owner had to contact the insurance company (one wonders how in the days before the car and telephone) who would come and put it out.
A self-poring tea-pot manufactured at the turn of the century by Royles Ltd, a pair of wooden nutcrackers, pewter mugs and decanters from the Boat House Inn, Irlam, the rib of a boat dug up when the Steelworks were being built in 1912, two pieces of fustian - the cutting of which was once a major local occupation - are just a few more of the items.
The reference room walls are decorated with a large number of heraldic arms painted by Mr Cyril Wheaton, 36, Francis Road, Irlam, and there is also a selection of photographs of Irlam Hall which was demolished just after World War II.
Visitors have shown a great deal of interest in the large number of old maps which are on display including one of the earliest road maps which includes Irlam, Cadishead and Hollins Green on what is now the A57.
Pictorial
What the main road looked like before the advent of the horseless carriage is also contained in a number of photographs, and there are also many old views of now-defunct streets, the mossland, and old buildings such as inns, &c., and the district's ferries coupled with the development of the Manchester Ship Canal.
Bygone carnivals, celebrations, sports teams, amateur dramatic societies, bands and choirs, school events, walking days and rose queens, transport, and also the history of the stations, the St John Ambulance Brigade, thew W.V.S., the Scouts, the telephone exchange, the River Glaze, and the library itself, are some of the subjects given special pictorial treatment.
A talk on local history was given in the Library by Mr J.R. Bleackley, headmaster of Patricroft C.E. School, and another, on the Bridgewater Canal, was given by Mr F. Mullineux, of Monks Hall Museum.

Cadishead and Irlam Guardian 1966: LIKE many other visitors to the local history exhibition in Irlam County Library this week these two (Mrs W. Lees and Mrs H.E. Grindley) found of interest these unusual objects which were once familiar to people on the Moss. The jar type object was used as a filter to obtain fresh water from streams and the circular ring is a patten worn by horses to prevent them sinking into boggy land. Cadishead Library 2015

History
Bank Hall was built in 1750 for Thomas Patten. The architect was James Gibbs and it is likely that it was the last important building of his design to be completed in his lifetime. It stood in open countryside to the north of the town of Warrington.The Patten family were important merchants in the town. Thomas' father had made the lower River Mersey navigable from Runcorn to Bank Quay, Warrington, and had established a copper smelting factory at Bank Quay. In 1870 John Wilson-Patten, 1st Baron Winmarleigh, sold the hall to Warrington Borough Council for £9000, and 13 acres (0.1 km²) of surrounding land for a further £13,000. Almost all of the land was opened as Warrington's first public park in 1873. When the house was built, it was surrounded by a high wall. In 1895 this was replaced by iron railings and a fine set of gates.
Architecture
External
The hall is built in Palladian style and has three storeys and a hipped slate roof. The front (south) façade has nine bays. The ground floor is in rusticated ashlar, as are the central three bays while the outer three bays on each side are in brick. The central area consists of a portico with four large ¾-attached Composite columns with a pediment bearing the arms of the Patten family. An open two-arm staircase, with a wrought iron balustrade, leads to the main entrance on the first floor. The north side of the hall is entirely of brick and is simpler. The whole house is built on a foundation made of blocks of copper slag from the Patten's smelting works. The detached service wings each have 13 bays and are similar to each other. Their middle three bays have three storeys and are in rusticated ashlar while the lateral bays have two storeys and are in brick.
Interior
The entrance hall is spacious and contains coats of arms of the Patten family, a stone chimney piece and a mosaic floor. The floor replaced a wooden one in 1902 and was laid by Italian workmen. It includes the initials J. W. P. for John Wilson Patten, L. W. for Lionel Whittle, was the town clerk at the time, T. L. for Thomas Longdin, the borough engineer, and Q. V. for Queen Victoria. The former great hall and the music room have been combined to form the council chamber. The former ladies retiring room and the dining room are now committee rooms and the reading room is used as the mayor's parlour. There are two similar staircases with wrought iron handrails. The window frames, which appear to be made of wood, are made from a combination of copper and iron, painted white.

St Margaret Pattens, Great Tower Street, London
I have a fondness for this little church, which sits pleasingly on the north side of Great Tower Street. The paved area in front gives it rather a provincial air, as if we were in the main shopping street of Norwich or York, and the building itself similarly has no airs and graces. Here, where London bends towards the grim old tower, Wren turned disciplinarian and built one of the simplest, starkest patterns of his career opined Wayland Young in an uncharacteristically purple passage. Yes, it is plain, and the interior is plain too, a simple box-like nave with a north aisle beyond. Plain glass, plain benches, a plain wooded sanctuary - even the reredos is understated. And yet there is a pleasing harmony here. I thought the church well-chosen by the tramp snoring away on one of the back benches - there were no discordant excitements here to keep him awake!
But there is plenty to interest, too. At the back are the churchwardens pews for St Margaret Pattens and St Gabriel Fenchurch, and these are the only surviving examples in the City. The beadle's pew survives too, and there are hat pegs for gentlemen, and perhaps all in all no other City church still has the calm and simplicity of 18th Century London life before the Victorian storm began. Mind you, those 18th Century gentlemen might have raised an eyebrow at the succession of young women carrying large exercise balls up the north aisle on their way to a pilates class in the north gallery, now a conference room.
A patten is a kind of wooden shoe, and a window of 2000 commemorates the Worshipful Company of Pattenmakers. But in fact the dedication was probably not a reference to pattenmakers at all, but to Ranulpf Peyton, a Canon of St Pauls who owned the land in this parish.

From the press release:
Adrian's Wall unveiled
* New 'wall' pays tribute to Mersey Poet Adrian Henri
* Roger McGough and Brian Patten to attend unveiling
* Media opportunity: Saturday, October 20, 12.30pm
A large-scale artwork commemorating the late Mersey Poet Adrian
Henri is to be launched at St George's Hall.
'Adrian's Wall' features tributes to some of Henri's most
iconic
Liverpool paintings, alongside three tribute poems based on his work,
penned by students from Broadgreen High and St Silas CP School.
The commemorative installation - which was commissioned by the
Liverpool Culture Company - measures a massive 12ft by 20ft.
The wall will be unveiled on Saturday, October 20 by Henri's
partner Catherine Marcangeli, in the company of his two fellow Mersey
Poets Roger McGough and Brian Patten.
Adrian's Wall was conceived by poet and playwright Phil Bowen,
author of 'A Gallery to Play to: The Story of the Mersey Poets'. He is
now looking for a home for the installation so that it can go on show
to
the public during Liverpool's year as European Capital of Culture in
2008. Phil said: "I originally came up with the idea for the
installation back in the late 1990s, during one of Adrian's last live
performances.
"Adrian's Wall is an obvious play on words, but I also saw it
as
an opportunity to combine elements of both Adrian's poetry and visual
art."
"Having remained committed to the project for nearly a decade
I'm delighted to finally see it brought to life."
Councillor Warren Bradley, leader of Liverpool city council and
deputy chair of the Liverpool Culture Company, said: "The Mersey Poets
made an important contribution to the city's cultural fabric at a time
when Liverpool was at the forefront of a movement that swept the UK.
"Their legacy is still felt strongly today, especially as we
enter a new chapter in Liverpool's history with the city's stewardship
of European Capital of Culture next year.
ENDS
Notes to Editors:
* Adrian Henri first rose to prominence during the 1960s, and is
perhaps best known for 'The Mersey Sound' - his poetry anthology with
Roger McGough and Brian Patten. He died in Liverpool in 2000 aged 68.
* Created at St James Church in Toxteth, the artwork for Adrian's
Wall was produced by Ian Town and Sophie Backhouse of Urban Art, and
the
wall itself was constructed by Terry O'Hara.
* Adrian's Wall combines elements of Henri's visual art,
including
the painting 'The Entry of Christ into Liverpool', with his poetry.
Pupils at St Silas CP school wrote their own version of 'Love is',
while
Broadgreen High produced versions of 'Tonight at Noon' and 'Me'.
* Due to the size of Adrian's Wall, it will not be on show to the
public at St George's Hall. The installation's creator Phil Bowen is
currently looking for a permanent home for the piece.
Media opportunity:
What: 'Adrian's Wall' is unveiled by Catherine Marcangeli
When: Saturday, October 20, 12 noon for 12.30pm
Where: North Entrance of St George's Hall, Liverpool
Please note, the event on Saturday is invitation only, however members
of the media are welcome to attend.
Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Sexual Violence in Conflict Ms. Pramila Patten Concludes Visit to Iraq and Stresses Need to Do More to Protect and Support Victims of Daesh’s Sexual Violence Crimes

The Founder of Magdalen, Bishop William Waynflete's tomb was firmly fixed in Winchester cathedral but, in 1833, that of his father Richard Patten, was brought from a derelict church in Wainfleet and re-erected in the college chapel. The tomb dates to c.1450.

Two years ago, Palatine citizens voted to save the house and use taxes for a
cultural center, but the Palatine Village Council voted against it. The house was recently put on the National Register.
The three-story Patten mansion was designed in the Victorian "Chateauesque" style in 1898 by architect Julius F. Wegman. It was the first in Palatine to have indoor plumbing. The property was put on the market by Patten's descendents. The price tag is just under a million. Sotehby's is selling it for readaptive use (community or cultural center or bed and breakfast). It is zoned for four buildable lots.

The central area consists of a portico with four large ¾-attached Composite columns with a pediment bearing the arms of the Patten family. An open two-arm staircase, with a wrought iron balustrade, leads to the main entrance on the first floor. The north side of the hall is entirely of brick and is simpler. The whole house is built on a foundation made of blocks of copper slag from the Patten's smelting works. The detached service wings each have 13 bays and are similar to each other. Their middle three bays have three storeys and are in rusticated ashlar while the lateral bays have two storeys and are in brick.
Interior
The entrance hall is spacious and contains coats of arms of the Patten family, a stone chimney piece and a mosaic floor. The floor replaced a wooden one in 1902 and was laid by Italian workmen. It includes the initials J. W. P. for John Wilson Patten, L. W. for Lionel Whittle, was the town clerk at the time, T. L. for Thomas Longdin, the borough engineer, and Q. V. for Queen Victoria. The former great hall and the music room have been combined to form the council chamber. The former ladies retiring room and the dining room are now committee rooms and the reading room is used as the mayor's parlour. There are two similar staircases with wrought iron handrails. The window frames, which appear to be made of wood, are made from a combination of copper and iron, painted white.

The George Patten House in the Central Geneva Historic District (1857). Patten ran his namesake general store in the Wrate Block. Born in 1811, Patten was a grain and lumber trader in Philadelphia until 1854. Thanks to his New England ties, Patten was a prominent local abolitionist. Two of his sons fought for the Union in the Civil War. The house was used as a temporary county courthouse from 1890 to 1892 when the current one was being constructed.
St Margaret Pattens, Great Tower Street, London
I have a fondness for this little church, which sits pleasingly on the north side of Great Tower Street. The paved area in front gives it rather a provincial air, as if we were in the main shopping street of Norwich or York, and the building itself similarly has no airs and graces. Here, where London bends towards the grim old tower, Wren turned disciplinarian and built one of the simplest, starkest patterns of his career opined Wayland Young in an uncharacteristically purple passage. Yes, it is plain, and the interior is plain too, a simple box-like nave with a north aisle beyond. Plain glass, plain benches, a plain wooded sanctuary - even the reredos is understated. And yet there is a pleasing harmony here. I thought the church well-chosen by the tramp snoring away on one of the back benches - there were no discordant excitements here to keep him awake!
But there is plenty to interest, too. At the back are the churchwardens pews for St Margaret Pattens and St Gabriel Fenchurch, and these are the only surviving examples in the City. The beadle's pew survives too, and there are hat pegs for gentlemen, and perhaps all in all no other City church still has the calm and simplicity of 18th Century London life before the Victorian storm began. Mind you, those 18th Century gentlemen might have raised an eyebrow at the succession of young women carrying large exercise balls up the north aisle on their way to a pilates class in the north gallery, now a conference room.
A patten is a kind of wooden shoe, and a window of 2000 commemorates the Worshipful Company of Pattenmakers. But in fact the dedication was probably not a reference to pattenmakers at all, but to Ranulpf Peyton, a Canon of St Pauls who owned the land in this parish.
Simon Knott, December 2015
I joined Fiona Patten MP, upper house representative of the Reason Australia party, and the Friends of the Earth Yes 2 Renewables Team, to celebrate Patten's support for the Victorian Renewable Energy Target (VRET) with a solar-powered beer at the Hawkers micro brewery in Reservoir.
Since installing 190 solar panels on their rooftop, co-founder of Hawkers Beer Mazen Hajjar told us they've saved almost 40% on their electricity bill, showing action on climate change makes good business sense. Hajjar is angry and passionate about the need for #climateaction, and it was so refreshing meeting a business person who gets that it's a #climateemergency, and whose business model is based on reducing grid energy, reducing waste and recycling.
Ms Patten has shown leadership on renewable energy and climate change, and deserves recognition for working with the Daniel Andrews government to secure good oucomes. All parties should support jobs and investment in renewable energy. It's all about innovation in the energy transition under way.
All MPs should follow Patten's lead by voting yes to the VRET when it is debated in the upper house of state parliament.

Two years ago, Palatine citizens voted to save the house and use taxes for a
cultural center, but the Palatine Village Council voted against it. The house was recently put on the National Register.
The three-story Patten mansion was designed in the Victorian "Chateauesque" style in 1898 by architect Julius F. Wegman. It was the first in Palatine to have indoor plumbing. The property was put on the market by Patten's descendents. The price tag is just under a million. Sotehby's is selling it for readaptive use (community or cultural center or bed and breakfast). It is zoned for four buildable lots.
Down there at the far end of Katahdin Lodge's long, wooden dining room table are: L to R--My Aunt Martha; next to Marty is one of her housekeeping staff, I hope to learn her name again; the goofin' gal down there at the end of the table and pinching her nose up at the camera is Cathy Glidden; the next woman may be Chuck's wife, because that is Chuck Chanadet next to her there.
This beautiful, but serviceable, dining room table was the center of the Katahdin Lodge Universe.
Look at how inviting that area is to human socialization.
Let me rephrase this: Ain't that a peachy-keen spot for hanging out with family, friends, and new acquaintances?
The most obvious thing to all who view this photo is the size and shape of the beautifully grained table. Look at all the room there is for big, full bowls and wide, full plates of food. And look at all the room there is for losta' friendly folk to sit all around that table, and to enjoy each other's company.
Anyone for Cribbage?
How about a game of Yatzee ?
Man o' day! We at the Lodge proved how easy it was to get both those games rollin' on that table, with room to spare for numerous kibitzers too.
Less than half the table is visible here. It was a great place to be when it was surrounded by small groups of gregarious people having the finest kind of times in Maine.
Down past the end of the table to the left is the living room.
Consequently, people in both the dining room and living room could all join in on any hilarious bantering that was bouncing about in either good-sized room. And the undoored entrance to the kitchen was directly behind me, when I took the photo. Anyone working in the kitchen, or just hanging out in there conversing, could easily join in on some conversation flowing smoothly out in the dining room, or vice-versa.
That joint got real noisy at times. But it was usually good and friendly noise.
A lot of that noise was the hearty laughter that always followed some well told joke. At times, that means dirty jokes. Martha Clarke had the ability to remember and effectively deliver lotsa' dirty jokes.
When I was growing up, and Fin and Marty came to visit my parents at our house, Marty couldn't hardly wait till my two sisters and I went to bed, so that she could start telling dirty jokes. She most definitely could probably have been a popular stand up comedian. She could be one in the oft comically rude and crude 21st Century, but not back in the 1950s, '60s, and on into the '70s. Because the potency, and her effective delivery, of her hellacious, ever-ready repertoire of filthy jokes was enough to make Lenny Bruce blush.
Take a gander, up into that photo of the dining room, and check out that long row of uncurtained windows, which are traveling the full length of the dining room and wrapped on around the front of the Lodge's main building there.
I LOVE HAVING SUNLIGHT COMING IN THROUGH WINDOWS!
Everyone in the dining room had a full, clear view of a large section of the property out there, including the entire horseshoe shaped driveway.
The few times that a large wild animal was seen from inside the dining room, everyone there got a good, memorable view of it at the same time.
If any vehicles entered the driveway, you could see who it was from all over the inside of the dining room area. Nobody had to get up from a scrumptious meal, a good game of cards, or an interesting and entertaining conversation to, "See who that is coming in".
Scrumptious meals? DID I SAY SCRUMPTIOUS MEALS?
Darn right I did!
Meals at Katahdin Lodge were home cooked and served family style in much heftier proportions than was necessary. Men often gained weight the right way at Katahdin Lodge. Some hunters were returning guests who had come back to the Lodge on another hunting trip just for that healthy food factor. For the hunters it was: no stress from who knows what kind of a job, profession, or business; lots of fresh air; natural, quiet, peaceful time out in the woods alone; and plenty of homemade food. At home, many of them ate carry out and fast food quite a lot. There definitely were guys who were there more for their health than to bag a bear.
We, who either worked at the Lodge or were one of the multitudes of returning guests, always got a kick out of first time guests who didn't know the ropes of the table yet. The rest of us would be happily sailing along and passing around bowls of good food while scooping out healthy, steaming piles of it onto our plates when newbies would be thinking, or grumbling, that there wasn't enough victuals being served to go around.
But they'd get caught at their mistakes quick and informed, in-no-uncertain terms, "To take it easy man; that one bowl of fresh mashed potatoes ya got yur mitts on there isn't for the whole table; take what ya want; look, here she comes with two more bowls of it. They put several bowls of everything out."
Or some friendly newbie would go for the last of some victuals laying in the bottom of a food bowl at the same time someone else did; and it was the newbies first meal at the Lodge; and it was the first time during that meal that a bowl was going to be empty; and the newbie would politely say to the other hungry guy, something like, "Here buddy, there's only enough string beans left for one person to have a second helping of; here, you can have what's left of it."
Which would immediately elicit, from somewhere in amongst the other eaters, "Hold on there my friend! They always keep bringing it out until we can't eat no-mo. Look! There she comes with another full bowl of it. See? Ya don't even have to ask; they just pile it on us automatically."
Most people at the Lodge could only woof down one of the wide, chunky beef steaks served there for supper every Thursday night. One week, five college friends came up to the Lodge together for a week long bear hunt. Great kids they were. Lotta' laughs. Well now. On their Thursday, steak night at the Lodge, one of them college boys asked my Aunt Martha for a second steak. I'd never seen that happen before.
Marty replied, "Why, sure you can have another one. We always cook a few extra steaks. But this is the first time anyone has ever asked for one. We usually end up chopping them up for David to mix in with the dogs' food."
At which one of the other college boys added, "Oh yeah, he can eat! You should see how he piles up his plate in the cafeteria. It looks like feeding time for zoo elephants. But look, (the speaker taps on the beefsteak eater's flat, six packed tummy) ya see that? He's captain of the junior varsity wrestling team, he's plays on the lacrosse team, and he's a pretty good gymnast too."
Marty gave Captain Beefeater one of the steaks she already had cooked for such an unlikely event as this.
The cap'n ate it; then she gave him another one.
Woof-woof-woof down the hatch the third steak went.
Meanwhile, Marty was frying up her last two thawed out steaks.
Mighty young Captain Beefeater ate 'um all.
As he was eating, he looked like a graceful gymnast executing a smooth, well-practiced set of moves on the parallel bars.
Meanwhile, Marty was working in the kitchen, cleaning up after supper. And from where she was washing the dishes, she could turn to look backwards and see the beef eater out there in action.
As the mighty young lad was finishing his last few bites of steak, Marty stepped to the doorway between the kitchen and dining room and leaned against the inside door frame.
As soon as the last little chunk of meat came off of Captain Beefeater's fork, into his mouth, Marty picked up his empty plate. And she cheerfully declared, to the comfortably seated group of Cap'n Beefeater's onlookers and well wishers, "Ya know? I only did that to see a good lookin young man eat five steaks at once."
The dining room crowd erupted into hearty laughter.
That healthy food attitude was the main reason why certain ones of the Lodge's guests were return clients.
It's called fishing, not catching. You don't always catch fish when you try to. It's called hunting, not wholesale meat delivery service. There was no guaranteed fishing or hunting at Katahdin Lodge. If you can't be satisfied with only having great times out in the natural environment of the deep woods, don't go hunting or fishing there.
At Katahdin Lodge and Camps, in Moro Plantation--Moro, Maine, at the bottom western edge of Aroostook County, post office address Patten, Maine, there were no guaranteed results for hunting or fishing.
What was guaranteed was, "The best of hunting, fishing, and backwoods hospitality."
