Thanks for making this available! I'm doing research on the work of the sculptor, Ernst Schwidder, a student of DuPen's at UW in the 1950s and this provided helpful context -- especially the note about DuPen's dedication to the human figure at a time when that was not trendy.
Currently taking an Anthropology class with Dr. Knutson. The story of Fishermen's Terminal mirrors that of so many of the industries in Seattle and across America. Gentrification disguised as "improvement". Thank you for both documentaries.
I gotta ask the obvious. If all hands were lost. How do you know it was a 150' wave that did it? That's how b.s. stories get started that impair investigators trying to find the truth. I get it, as humans we need an answer, closure. How about we get truthful closure......
Lived at the terminal in 86, never felt more at home away from home, It'd be a crime to the community there to "dissappear" the terminal, in Auckland NZ our version of the terminal was lost to developers and gin palaces and restaurants as you can see by any americas cup footage that shows the bases etc, was a very convivial place to live and work that was whittled away without a protest..... , so hang on to that terminal forever
There they will surely welcome the $150,000 sub 120 IQ I.T workers. On a H-1B visa from India but let a blue collar with over a hundred and thirty IQ dwindle in the town he's from in a sanctuary City with illegal construction workers!
My great great great grandma the youngest of Seattle's daughters had to move across the mountains and married a colville band chief. a long oral story in my family.
mike billy Dr. Tollefson is an anthropologist whose life work has been about studying the culture and history of Duwamish and other local tribes. His statements are based on in-depth research, not guesses, which includes oral histories and documented records.
Thank you so much for putting this together. I am still in shock and dismay. I have viewed this with sadness and a fond rememberance of what an intense, passionate and moving person Susan was.
