Back in the ‘70s I worked for a big timber company that had thousands of acres of land On TB and there was a bar down around Zwolle that was pretty wild. Did Ethel have a bar? The place used to have a lot of fights. The Driftwood name triggered this memory.
I remember a guy telling me that he saw a fight there one night when a guy took a large kitchen knife to another fellow. Claimed he cut him under each armpit and inside both thighs.
Bled out in minutes in front of the place with a crowd watching it.

Restaurant on one side and bar on the other, restaurant was the one and only place to sit down eat back then 70-75. Member getting the all you could eat catfish as a kid with parents. Baws from all over would get wrecked by the Zwolle mafia on Saturday nights in the bar and some kilt.
Dads boss missed that strip in a King Air mid 70's that killed his wife and pilot. Bend still had standing timber back then.
