I am thinking this was probably the 1930's or early 1940's. Don't know a thing about golf, but know about Fred. Actually he went by the nickname of Tony, a native Oregonian having been born in 1881 an avid mountain climber. I have photos he took on a climb of Mt. Adams in the early 1920's and served his country in the military. He was also a Crag Rat.

The last I heard they still did the “honey from the sky” presentation at breakfast. It is supposed remind the diner of WaGwinGwin Falls.

Arlen - you can still get your honey from the sky at the Snoqualmie Falls Lodge, perched above that roaring cataract. I'd rather it was the old C.G. Hotel but honey on a biscuit is honey on a biscuit!

We lived in the Columbia Gorge Hotel when we first moved to Hood River during WWII. For a few weeks, until we found a place to rent. I have a photo of myself standing by the fireplace in the parlor there with the resident Great Dane. Two "library ladies" were residents of the hotel, and they made me a book out of brown wrapping paper with glued-in colored pictures from magazines. Mother and I would sit together on the hotel's tall lawn swing and take turns "reading" it by making up stories to go with the illustrations.
