He was born at home in Bend on December 2, 1924 to George C. and Marie C. Sosinsky Carroll. Except for a three-year sojourn in Stockton, California, and a summer’s job in Wenatchee, Washington, Mr. Carroll lived and worked in Oregon at various occupations, including time in Sisters.

He attended Oregon State College and the University of Oregon, where he received a degree in archi- tecture in 1958.

They were orderly, respectful and a proud group. I know it was a great lesson in civic responsibility. Lastly, we have a great learning environment that is built on strong relationships and our car- ing for each other. At the end of the day my most important request is that each of us treats each other with dignity and respect, regardless of differences of any kind. Curt Scholl Superintendent, Sisters School District s s s To the Editor: This past week our baseball team at Sisters High School held its first game on the new field, and I wanted to take the time to once again thank the community for all the support it gives Sisters High School Athletics. The passing of the bond several years ago has had a tremendous impact on the district in multiple areas, and as athletic director I see it daily for our student athletes. This spring we have nearly 200 athletes out in nine different spring sports, and the majority of them are get- ting to use these recent upgrades. Funding for our schools here in the state of Oregon is always a challenge, but your con- tinued support in the form of the bond, dona- tions, and volunteer hours provides incredible help and resources to build off of. We strongly believe the experiences our athletes have are part of their education they receive at Sisters High School, and you are making this experi- ence even greater. Additionally, each year we have thousands of visiting athletes and fans come on campus for a variety of contests and tournaments, and we receive constant compliments and praise for 31 our high school and athletic facilities. This is a reflection of both your generosity and the hard work of our facilities and grounds team, and we are so blessed to have this kind of support. Once again, from all of us at SHS, thank you for all you do and GO OUTLAWS! Gary Thorson Athletic Director Sisters High School s s s To the Editor: I would like to express my support for the Sisters School District levy in this letter. After reading about the levy and how we enjoy the lowest taxes in the region for school and edu- cation, while having some of the highest qual- ity schools, I will be voting yes on the levy. I strongly believe that every child, teenager, and young adult, regardless of gender, race, dis- ability, or sexual orientation deserves a quality education. School was not easy for me. I live with a case of autism. That makes things like learn- ing harder for me, which is something that other students may not find as hard. When I was in school, I required things like a quiet testing room, a calculator, and even my own laptop because my handwriting was terrible. I wanted to be in the general education class- room because most of my friends and class- mates were in general ed either for part or all of the day, and I wanted to be with my friends when in class. The only way I was successful in the general education setting was in smaller classes. I needed additional help from teachers and staff. In a large class I could not have been successful. I feel the levy had a direct impact on me as an autistic student. This levy fuels the operat- ing budget, and allows for classroom impact, See LETTERS on page 36 Live Life Better! 55 & Over • Pets warmly welcomed • Independent living Chef-prepared meals included • Transportation services No long-term commitment Learn more: Free gift & chef-created lunch for you and your family when you mention this ad.
