Description
Bill
Beymer
with
brood
of
geese
.
Bill
Beymer
,
82
, of
Vashon
Island
has
become
a "
Father
Goose
" of
sorts
. The
retired
realtor
and
builder
,
who
is
already
a
great-grandfather
,
lives
on a
houseboat
moored
in
Quartermaster
Harbor
. He
adopted
Gus
,
who
despite
the
masculine
name
is
actually
a
female
,
when
she
started
laying
eggs
on his
boat
deck
.
Gus
had
already
been
kicked
off
some
of the
smaller
boats
moored
at the
Quartermaster
Harbor
Yacht
Club
for her
egg-laying
propensities
on their
property
when
she
came
to
visit
Mr
.
Beymer
.
Even
though
Gus
had
no
mate
,
Mr
Beymer
managed
to
get
ahold
of a
fertile
egg
,
replaced
the
sterile
one
and
Gus
became
the
mother
of
one
gosling
. The
little
one
did
not
survive
long
but this
did
not
stop
Gus
from
trying
again
and
again
. There are
now
four
little
ones
that
Mr
.
Beymer
spends
considerable
time
in
providing
water
and
food
and
cleaning
up
after
them in their
homemade
wire
cage
.
Mr
.
Beymer
hopes
that the
sturdy
cage
will
prevent
crows
,
raccoons
and
otters
from
eating
his
new
family
.
