In this episode of Curry Café, hosts Ray Gary and Rick McNamer talk with Pistol River native Cliff Stansell about his family’s homesteading roots and his intimate knowledge of the local history. Cliff recounts wildlife declines and ecological shifts, a vivid bear-cub rescue, and the region’s Native American history revealed during Highway 101 construction. He also honors his mother’s discovery of a new wildflower species and discusses songwriting, including his veteran-suicide song 18 a Day that plays during the show.
We encourage anyone with differing views to participate in future Curry Café discussions. If you would like to join the panel, email contact@kciw.org or call 541-661-4098.
