  	The Drowning of Peach Washington In the winter of 1939 the Peach Post Office was buried under 235 feet of water. When Flo was seven she started school In a town called Peach My mother was born under a cherry tree, In the hills above the Columbia River A hospital was a luxury in 1913 Mom said her mother was making her way To the outside privy When she began to go into labor Her mother, crippled with rheumatoid arthritis, 'Did the best she could' as she pushed Her seventh girl Florence Victoria into the world When 'Flo' was seven she started school In a town called Peach The other kids made fun of the Swedish brood (Mom's Sisters and Brothers) Who 'talked funny' Knew more Swedish words than English ones, "Go back where you came from", they said But they learned quickly And the other kids accepted them Because there were enough "Johnson kids" To make up their own baseball team And they played baseball And other games in the town that was Named for the Peach trees That thrived in the sheltered valley of mild temperatures Free from early and late frosts The orchards with acres of pink flowering peach trees, Framed against the blue Columbia cutting through the verdant valley Must have looked a little like heaven To the three hundred souls who lived there But in the winter of 1939 heaven would be gone with the closing of The Peach Post Office The reservoir that would back up Grand Coulee Dam Would bury the post office site under 235 feet of water The United States Government paid Peach settlers $5000 For each 20 acres of land they owned Many settlers owned family farms (Like my mother's family) Had far less acreage and had to move to higher ground Their houses were burned As were the peach orchards The WPA feared the untended trees would become infested with insects And spread to other trees outside the inundation Peach became the first cleared town site For the water's rise In the spring of 1939 the time the Peach trees bloomed Florence Victoria became a bride The town of Peach soon to become no more than a memory of mom's own private Shangri-la -Meet the author author Jojay- I am a published and produced playwright.
