<strong>Dimmick</strong>: I worked for him three different times because I would get a baby and then I<br />
would stay home for two years. And then he’d say, “I suppose you want your job back?”<br />
And then I’d go back to work. And then I’d get another kid and I’d leave. And he’d say, “I<br />
suppose you want your job back?”<br />
Hughes: There’s two kids right?<br />
<strong>Dimmick</strong>: Yes.<br />
Hughes: And number one is born in 1958.<br />
<strong>Dimmick</strong>: Yes. Taylor.<br />
Hughes: And then?<br />
<strong>Dimmick</strong>: Dana was born in ’62.<br />
Hughes: Are they attorneys now? Did they ever want to be lawyers and judges?<br />
<strong>Dimmick</strong>: My daughter was a probation <strong>of</strong>ficer, and she did that for 10 years. Now she’s a<br />
judicial assistant.<br />
Hughes: And your son?<br />
<strong>Dimmick</strong>: My son is handicapped. He was a pro golfer and was teaching golf, and then he<br />
got peripheral neuropathy.<br />
Hughes: I’m sorry to hear that. Cy must have been a good golfer and it rubbed <strong>of</strong>f on<br />
Taylor. … I really liked a line that was in your husband’s obituary. It said “Cy’s real career<br />
was golf, and to say he was a serious player is like saying Dickens was a serious writer.”<br />
<strong>Dimmick</strong>: (Smiling) My son-in-law wrote that obit. His name is Bradley Scarp. He’s a<br />
lawyer. But he took writing … graduated from Seattle University. He’s going to be writing<br />
books someday.<br />
Hughes: I imagine that Cy <strong>Dimmick</strong> would have liked that line a lot.<br />
<strong>Dimmick</strong>: Oh sure. (smiling) That’s right.<br />
Hughes: In Cy’s obituary there’s another wonderful line: Cy “once said that World War II<br />
was the biggest event in his life, except for his marriage to <strong>Carolyn</strong>.”<br />
<strong>Dimmick</strong>: That’s right.<br />
Hughes: Did your son-in-law write that, too?<br />
<strong>Dimmick</strong>: Yes he did.<br />
