Melançon Enterprises • a multidivision multinational since 1980

First time I was in Seattle, late 60s

after the world's fair

Pacific Power, the electric company there
hired one of the top chefs in I think France
he went up
and said all the stoves had to be taken out
they were electric
and put in gas stoves

Seattle was humming back then
incredibly different city
involved with activists, social worker types

begging to help the poor, those in prison

they had a small group they had access to, all there was
lumber, Boeing

all had access, easy access
and lesser outfits too
