Harry Allen Orr, III
passed away on January 19.
He was 87 years old.
Born and raised in South
Carolina, he early on distin-
guished himself for intel-
ligence and motivation. He
attended Fishburne Military
Academy and graduated
from Duke University
NROTC in 1951. He mar-
ried his life-long partner
and best friend Ietje van
Dobbenburgh later that year.
Harry served as ensign
and later lieutenant in the
U.S. Navy 1951-1954
and again 1961-1962. In
between naval stints, Harry
worked in the insurance
business. Frustrated with
his career and recalling how
much he enjoyed working
with his hands and building
Heath kits as a child, Harry
enrolled in dental school at
University of Tennessee,
Memphis, in 1963 and grad-
uated in 1966. He spent two
years in the public health
service before establishing a
private practice in Palo Alto,
California in 1968. He and
Ietje worked in the practice
together until their retire-
ment in 1990.
Harry and Ietje moved
to Sisters in 1991. Harry
always looked for ways to
support others in the com-
munity. He helped establish
and lead the High Meadow
Homeowners Association,
participated in the Book
Club and was a champion
for the Sisters High School
Science Club and Flight
Science Program.
Harry and Ietje were
world travelers, visiting
approximately 30 countries
and all 50 states, many of
them several times. They
explored the backroads and
byroads, always remarking
Correspondent
how much they enjoyed
meeting new people and
making new friends. They
traveled Oregon extensively
from the coast to the east-
ern desert. Harry greatly
enjoyed the outdoors, hik-
ing and snowshoeing many
Central Oregon trails with
friends. He was particularly
fond of Black Butte and
hiked it many times.
Harry was an avid reader,
a passion he learned from his
mother. His love of learning
carried over into classical
music, opera, cooking and a
life-long passion for flying.
With his kindness and
generosity of spirit he
made good friends wher-
ever he went. He will truly
be missed by all who knew
him. Harry is survived by
Ietje; daughters, Chapin
Orr Zakrzewski and Missy
Orr (and husband Dave
Bullamore); and grandchil-
dren, Alyssa Kuwik (and
husband Jordan Kuwik) and
Garrett Zakrzewski.
A memorial service
will be planned in Sisters
in the summer. The fam-
ily would like to thank St.
Charles Hospice in Bend
for its exceptional care and
heartfelt attention to Harry
in his final months. In
lieu of flowers, the family
requests donations to either
the Sisters High School
Science Club or St. Charles
Hospice.

The Lady Outlaws con-
tinued to struggle to keep
up with league foes this past
week, and lost both their
games — a 55-23 loss to the
Falcons at Elmira on Tuesday,
January 23, and a 52-24 road
loss to Sutherlin on Friday.
Sisters created good oppor-
tunities to score in Tuesday’s
contest against Elmira, but
just couldn’t get their shots to
fall. At the half the Outlaws
were down 31-15.
The Outlaws only put one
point on the scoreboard in
the third period, compared to
the Falcons, who scored 15.
Elmira stayed strong through-
out the remainder of the game
and recorded the win.
Coach Alan Von Stein told
The Nugget that Meaghan
Greaney had her best game of
the season, and played great
on both offense and defense.
Greaney scored six points,
dished out two assists, and had
two steals and two deflections.
Olivia Hougham and
Sydney Head recorded two
assists each.
“We got good looks at the
basket, executed our offense
well, but the ball just wouldn’t
go in,” said Von Stein. “We
had quality looks, but only
shot 22 percent from the
field.”
Three days later, it was
a similar situation. The
Bulldogs were tenacious at the
start of the first quarter, and
the Outlaws quickly found
themselves down 9-0. At the

close of the period Sutherlin
was on top 17-6. Sisters came
out and won the second quar-
ter, 11-9, but trailed 26-17 at
the half.
Sisters was outscored 18-4
in the third. Sutherlin kept
control of the contest, and
went on to win by 28.
Gracen Sundstrom scored
nine points for Sisters, and
Rheanna Salisbury, Lexie
Stewart, and Head contributed
four points each.
The Outlaws did much
better on the boards, and
grabbed 36 on the night,
compared to Sutherlin, who
had 26. Sundstrom recorded
seven rebounds, and Head,
Salisbury, and Rylee Weber
each had six.
Von Stein noted sopho-
more Hallie Schwartz for her
great defensive effort, and
stated she did an excellent job
against Sutherlin’s perimeter
shooter.
The Lady Outlaws are cur-
rently 1-4 in league. Sisters
will face Cottage Grove at
home on Friday, February 2,
to start out the second half of
league play.
