"Starvation Heights" by Gregg Olsen is a fascinating piece of history from the tiny town of Olalla, Washington which is across the Puget Sound from Seattle.
Doctor Linda Burfield Hazzard created the Wilderness Heights Sanitarium in Olalla in the early 1900s. Doctor Hazzard believed that extreme fasting was the cure to most if not all ailments.
After Dr. Hazzard's fasting treatment led to the death of one her patients, she was charged with murder. Starvation Heights is a well-written and well-researched account of what was a nearly forgotten piece of Washington State history.
http://www.unitedwaykitsap.org/ Yesterday, I volunteered to help the Kitsap County United Way move its furniture and other office equipment to another section of their building while their main office space is being remodeled.
The work was hard, but I had fun and met some interesting people.All of the volunteers were treated to lunch at the new Bremerton Bar And Grill We dined in the "Safe Room". The building where the Bremerton Bar And Grill is now housed was formerly a bank and the banks vault has been converted into a dining area. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Bremerton-Bar-and-Grill/172901399409566?v=wall
