[edit] Wetting-Down

Tom, just gotta leave you a quick message to thank you for the most delightfully funny Wikipedia article I have read. Your Wetting-down piece is warm and touching, in addition to it being informative. Please keep writing. David Wigram Nov 24 2006

[edit] Chinook Jargon

User Skookum1 asked where my Chinook Jargon comes from. Please note that I only know a few words, although I've been surprised from studying Chinook that what little I know, I didn't know I knew.

My family are old settlers; the first batch immigrated to the Washington Territory from other parts of the United States just before the territory's formation, the last arriving before the end of the American Civil War. Their homes were along the middle reaches of the Chehalis River, mostly between the towns of Montesano and Porter. As such, I expect that all sides of my family had some exposure to the Jargon. In addition, my great-great grandfather, Rev. Sam Lougheed, was a circut preacher on the Olympic Peninsula; some of my family's jargon may come from what he learned circling the penninsula and meeting with native people living on the western coast of the penninsula.

As young men, Sam's grandsons, my grandfather and his several brothers, were loggers in the Black Hills and the southern Olympic Mountains. In fact, my father was born in and spent the first few years of his life in a logging camp in the Wynoochee River Valley, near 47°10'40"N, 123°36'30"W. I rather expect that the jargon that I learned as a child, mostly from my father, came from the camps. Finally, my father's parents were friends with a Quinault woman and some of her family. They were eager learners, and may well have picked up more Chinook Jargon or Salishan from her.
