Margaret D. McGee
"My Father Was Zorro"Fifty years ago, Roger McGee revealed a secret to his children. His daughter Margaret shares it at last... "It was 1958, another Thursday night in front of the television set. Daddy sat in his easy chair, feet propped on the hassock, elbows resting on the little sleeves that kept the stuffing inside the chair's frayed arms. We three kids sprawled on the oval rag rug. Sometime between eight and eight-thirty, during Zorro's commercial break, our father decided we were ready. 'It's time you knew.' He reached for the bowl of popcorn on his TV tray. 'The truth is, I'm Zorro.' ..." Mercer Island Reporter, 14 June '06. Reprinted in Northwind Anthology 2007. |
