OT More classic Portland lost...

[stampedehero]

Reading the article in the OP, I remember that my grandfather used to love getting liver and onions in Carrow's and Denny's. Was that an 80's thing? A Portland thing? A German-descent thing?

The cheapest thing an inexperienced chef could cook. No one can tell if it's cooked. We all realize the function of a liver, right?

I remember the "Maine" moored in Philly.

Funny, b/c a trivia question for midshipmen is "what's the longest ship in the Navy?" It's the USS Maine, because one of her masts is on the Yard in Annapolis and one is at the Arlington National Cemetary, about 30 miles away.

What department did your mom work in? Which shifts?

Not sure back then. But she's an administrative assistant now. She's worked with Kaiser since 1980. Her name is Lisa Janke.

What did you do there?

He did your mom, doggy-style.

Kind of stepped right into that one, didn't you.

Your mom, doggy style.

EKG Tech in the ER.

Worked in the darkroom in x ray.

A bunch of different things.

Would work during breaks from college, filling in for people on vacation and maternity leave. Very fun. Worked just about everywhere in the hospital. Never heard of your mom.

They used it as an ammo dump for a while I believe. "Kind of" like what happened to the Bismark. The English dumped a lot of ammo into it. Har. Har. Har.

During WWII the government asked for the Oregon back for scrap. The upperworks were removed and melted down. The hull was used as an ammunition barge in the Pacific. Late in the war it broke loose from it’s moorings (Somewhere in the Guam area if I remember rightly) and floated out to sea. Eventually our navy happened upon it and sunk it with gunfire rather than try to retrieve it.

What years were you there? She moved to Interstate in the early 90's.

Oops.....further research says she was indeed found and towed back. She was then sold for scrap and ended up being dismantled in a post war Japanese shipyard. What an ignominious end for an icon.....

Willie Stoudamire has lived in a house behind old Bess Kaiser along the bluff for years.

Was your mom there when the guy high on drugs ran through the window and jumped off the top floor of the hospital? Before my time there but that story was hilarious to hear.
