can make a mean pizza
cruat. The tingle father and
hit ton have done everything
together, from m ilking cowl
to cooking. Camping and
"aleeping out"— with a long
extenalon cord for the
electric blanket—are
favorite activities for the
pair.
Dave Cary doesn't worry about being
both a father and mother to his son Kevin.
84.
" I think of being a good p a re n t/' Dave
said.
Kevin has lived with his father since he
was 3 years old His parents are divorced.
At first the boy went to Shalom Day
Nursery.
“ N aturally he cried at first. It tears you
up inside,'* Dave recalled “ But he got
adjusted and learned I wasn’t leaving him
forever, but just for a day It was such
good care I had the freedom not even to
think about it."
When Dave was operations officer for
F irst State Bank, Gresham, he had regular
hours When he switched to selling real
estate his hours were irregular at best
"T here was a fam ily across the street
that would take Kevin when I had to work
It was the closest thing to a mother he had.
He was loved there as part of the
fam ily—something you don't get from a
teenage babysitter."
The father now has something else to
nurture He and his brother Richard Cary,
opened the Peetsa Peddler restaurant in
Gresham in April.
“ Kevin comes down here occasionally to
spend time with m e," Dave said as his son
went to pour some soft drinks. “ The last
tim e was almost too much for him —I
found him napping among the flour
sacks."
Kevin stood at his dad's elbow as each
made his favorite pizza The son believes
about the only pizza worth its sauce is
pepperoni while the father put together a
Canadian bacon and pineapple one for
himself.
When Dave was in personnel at the bank,
he worked with several divorced mothers
who had to miss work because their
children were sick
“ 1 probably had more empathy for them
than many men would,” Dave said.
"Being an unwed father (he smiled at
his choice of terminology) with no wife at
home to take care of Kevin, I was the one
tostay home from w ork."
Like many conscientious parents, Dave
is quick to give a lot of credit to his child.
"H e's been extrem ely easy to care
for—a flexible and happy child,” Dave
said
The nuclear fam ily (mom, dad and kids)
looms in everybody’s mind, though.
“ I f I could choose, I ’d choose to be
happily m a rrie d ." Dave said, turning
serious "B u t I don’t have that choiceand I
think w e're happy—just the two of us."
The father and son do many things
together
They went backpacking in the Wallowas
in August Kevin gets his dad to sleep
outside once a week in the summertime.
They sometimes even camp out in the
w inter.
“ We have an electric blanket with a long
cord," Dave laughed.
But time is short without another adult
to share with chores
“ When I get home I might have to make
dinner, mow the lawn, m ilk the cows, feed
the chickens and rabbits.”
The chickens made their way to the stew
pot last week.
"When you've got 15 chickens and you’re
getting three eggs a day, it's tim e to
review ,” Dave, the form er banker coming
to the fore, said
T hey're not m ilking cows either
“ We still have the twins that were T illie
the cow’s last great effort,” Dave said.
Did Kevin watch them be born?
“ No, but I saw them when they were just
out and all wet,” Kevin remembered.
“ That's the way I first saw you too,” the
father told his son.
Some fathers are leery of the squirming
newborns. Not Dave.
“ I love babies," he said. “ M y wife
changed the first diaper, but I took over
from there. I wished I could have had more
than one child."
He paused.
"K evvy is always saying he'd like to get
a mother who already has a baby inside
her," Dave said. “ He'd like a brother or
sister "
Some of the nitty-gritty problems of
being a single parent have smoothed out
for the father and son since Dave's parents
“ tem porarily" moved into the Carys'
rural Sandy home three months ago.
'W e're saying it's tem porary,” Dave
explained. “ I t ’s until they can't stand us or
we can't stand them ."
Dave admitted, that like his father, he’s
a " w o r k a h o lic ." H e 's m uch m ore
demonstrative than his father, however.
“ I can rem em ber when I was about
Kevvy's age, and my dad said “ Boys don’t
kiss ' That put some distance between me
and him —I think a father does kiss his son.
Kevin and I have an affectionate
relationship”
Kevin thinks his dad is pretty special
•‘Some neighbors used to teare Kevin
that me-n-my-dad was one word with
h im ,” Dave said.
And Dave Cary wouldn’t have it any
other way.
“ Children are like m irrors. You give
them love—and they reflect it right back to
you.
