HISTORY
Bud C. Warner
Following paragraph from Frank Rosin, 1-20-90, by Brian Warner:
The house that Bud's parent's lived in when he was born was possibly on Harrison
Street. The house was torn down for the Seattle World's Fair in 1962 and the area
is now part of the Seattle Center.
When Bud was a toddler, his parents were in LA. His older siblings were working at
a factory (Nabisco?) making cookies. The parents had them watch him. What they
did was give him a bunch of cookies and then they would check on him occassionally.
In Robert J. Warner's records, has "Warner, Busie Blue (Bud)"
Did not care for name Buster. Went by Bud. Married Bernece on a dare. Was
very much in love with another girl. They'd had a fight. Bud soon after
married Bernece. Bud was quite a singer. Sang with Owen's son Raymond at KOMO
in Seattle. Bernece made fun of him and that took the fight out of him.
According to Vera, Bud was in the Navy after WWI. According to Robert Warner,
Edna said that when Bud was born, her father gave her the opportunity to name
her little brother, so she called him Bussie Blue.
Besides being a carpenter, Bud also worked on a ferry & one summer helped Everett
Stout do some logging on Everett's property near Merlin, Oregon.
Bud and Mable lived in Grants Pass, OR. Then moved to Seaview, WA. 1960 or
1961, Bud became a bum on Seattle's skid row.
Bud and Bernece divorced because of Bud's drinking. At the time, they were living
in a house in front of what is now the Carbonaro Creek Trailer Park in Scotts
Valley. The house, which Bud built, is still there. Bernece was bitter about
the divorce, but Bud was not.
