Subject: RE: Ballad of the Merry Ferry (Pacific NW)
Yeah, I remember that it was named after a typewriter manufacturer (anybody still OWN a typewriter?). I recall when our office moved into the "new" Federal Building at 2nd and Madison. I resolved to get into Human Resources (then called "Personnel") since the Personnel Officer had a corner office on the 13th floor with a beautiful view of Elliot Bay. That was before they built at least one additional row of high-rises between that building and the water. And Starbucks was a little hole in the wall on Marion just below 1st that sold only solid coffee. No lattes in sight.
