Fritz offered to give us a personal tour of the center, and when asked what he was particularly interested in, Bruce said, Do you have a garden?

Fritz was a lifetime baseball fan and was overcome that Bruce Bochte who played for the Mariners, Seattle's professional baseball team, was here on the grounds of Chinook.

The affable director, Fritz Hull, came out of the office to greet us.
Irish, curly hair, sparkling eyes, when he went to shake Bruce's hand, his face broke wide open.

Chinook consisted of three or four cabins and a larger farmhouse strewn over the rolling green hills surrounded on all sides by forest.

We got lost once and I began to think we would never find our way out of these forests of evergreen trees.
I couldn't even point in the direction of the town of Clinton, which would have a pay phone we could use.
