A Constant Companion
Memorial Day found the good Professor strapped to the
aesthetically-curved pillars fronting the new Cannon Beach
Bandstand 1 was weaving the shingle comers on that cedars
structure "to beat the band," i f you'll pardon the pun, having
been informed that the city planned a concert in the new facility
for the following Saturday M ud wallow and a pestiferous
spate o f chattering rain, gusts, and drear, conspired to kick the
emotional slats out from under my day
Sighing myself back to the truck, 1 w renched out my grizzled
Hellv Hansens, my Sou'Wester mouldering behind the seat, and
the job radio M oulting into my winter rain gear, 1 kick-started
the radio and humped tw o bundles o f shingles up to the
scaffolding Then things started to get better
1 have my seventeen-dollar Sony locked on 89 5, the
translator numbers here in Cannon Beach for K M U N radio,
public broadcasting from Astoria, Oregon Soundprint came
on line, a fine radio program presenting the actual voices and
sounds coincident w ith notable events in our lives
On this day the program described the events surrounding Joe
DiMaggio's tnp to a small Sicilian fishing village, the ancestral
home o f Dimaggios down through time Illness in Rome
forced Joe to cancel the visit-his first opportunity to explore his
family's hometow n The crestfallen villagers spoke o f their
disappointment in Italian and broken English
Their reverence fo r one o f their own was very moving Their
voices stirred around inside my heart, and the day began to
look brighter
For decades, my off-sider Knox Swanson and 1 have had an
aural fixation on the 10 a m Folkshow Like the proverbial
postman, "neither rain, nor sleet, nor snow" take us from our
appointed round w ith the morning folk program During the
fo lk show, my old radio has hung suspended from tree limbs,
been nailed to the dormers o f houses, perched on chimney
tops, and w eathered the congress o f climatological conditions
we re subject to here on the north coast It's our religious
experience, and we re zealots For single, w orker blokes like
ourselves, the Folkshow and a cookie to chase our tuna
sandwiches may be the only cheer in an otherwise gloomy
winter day
The folk music host this Memorial Day was Kathy Caple
Her Lost Highway program has unfunked and revivified me
more times than my abacus has beads She makes even
Monday seem okay Her musical selections that day included a
w ide range o f compositions about and against war Johnny
Cash, Country Joe McDonald. The Chieftains. Bob Dylan, and
sundry international artists old and new contributed By noon,
the music and old memories o f my time in Vietnam had me
crying on the scaffolding, for myself and the rest o f us Radio
can do that 1 consider it a cousin o f the humanities Radio,
certainly public radio, engages the mind, heart, and
imagination
To Kathy and the rest o f the volunteer staff at K M U N I
would like to express my gratitude for the countless hours o f
enjoyment you've provided K M U N remains a voice of
compassion and understanding in a dark time Keep on making

Life is the art of drawing sufficient
conclusions from insufficient premises.

Timothy Leary’s dead
Timothy Leary and I shared a panel presentation
in October 1977 at the San Francisco Airport Hilton.
The 23rd annual American Astronomical Society’s
conference focused on the NASA project of sending
ten thousand people to the first space colony,
a rotating wheel one hundred thousand miles from
Earth.
I discussed the design implications of crowdedness,
lack of privacy, island fever and Big Brother
syndrome, raising the question ol selecting and
training the settlers of this space city.
“Humbug!” Tim shouted theatrically. He got to his
feet, thrusting his fiery face at the audience.
“Space is a free territory. No selection! Everybody
goes!!”

Why hast thou given me so much
Why has thou given me so much and left me with so little?
Given me fields of golden grain waving in the sun:
left me with forlorn eyes, naked bellies distended in hunger, nowhere to
run.
Given me sparkling waters, a blessing to the land:
left me with fetid rivers, lakes and oceans once so grand.
Given me fragrant breezes tossing flags and tresses:
left me with stinking gusts corroding children’s lungs with gases.
Given me fire to warm the fragile and to conquer far space:
left me with conflagrations, a child crying out in burning, naked grace.
Given me vast forests sheltering man and animals' haunting sounds:
left me with the means and will to cut them to the ground.
to wield control over your affairs
to expect gtxxl
to keep the faith and accept what is
to pursue a goal with zest
to connect with love
to lighten up and laugh
to weave times of sensuous joy
to be blessed w ith happy genes
Given me love for the brothers of my race:
left me with hate for others not so graced.

Given me a hundred willing to help the needy:
left me with a thousand cunning takers, the greedy.
Given me the weapons to protect all created:
left me with no means to save those metaphysically fated.
