Meed Freeway (N«y. 26), Boring Exit Back in the days when Mrs. Schwartz was being paid for her work, she was employed by the Sandy E lem entary School as ' manager of the lunch | program. Her first big labor of love after retirement was the com pilation of the "Sandy Pioneers" book with Elizabeth Hartman. "That project was really a fascinating one for me,” she said. " I was able to use my interest in historical things and to revive friendships from my girlhood in Sandy. It was very rewarding.” Mrs. Schwartz grew up on the property on which she now lives. “ I’ve never really moved in my life, although my address has changed five Rebekahs set autumn plans Sandy Rebekah Lodge No. 193 held its regular meeting in the Odd Fellows Hall, Thursday Sept. 14 at 8 p.m. The President of the Rebekah Assem bly of Oregon, Helen Gottman of Boring Rebekah Lodge, w ill visit the Sandy Lodge on Thursday, Sept. 28.

BUILDING the Alpephaus Gourmet Dining at its Best. by KAYE BARTON Marie Schwartz loves to take notes “ All my life, I ’ve enjoyed writing things out by hand. “ I lik e to record things Some of my notes are over 50 years old ” She is a natural secretary, and serves in that capacity with several organizations to which she belongs And she is likely to be remembered in future years for a two-year recording and com piling project for which she was a prime mover: the production of "Sandy Pioneers, Early Settlers and Barlow Road D ays’’ But with the completion of that book in 1973 for Sandy’s centennial, Mrs Schwartz didn’t stop writing things down. She keeps personal scrapbooks and serves as co editor for the Sandy Senior Center newsletter. She is secretary to both the Senior Center’s advisory committee and the “ Loves and Fishes’’ p ro g ra m ’s steering com mittee. ‘‘ It seems as if I ’m w ritin g things down everywhere I go," she said. Mrs. Schwartz has other volunteer activities which don’t involve words. She and her husband deliver "Meals on Wheels" two days a month, and she serves as treasurer for the Sandy Pioneer Association. None of these projects have earned Mrs. Schwartz a profit or wages; even the compilation of the historical book was a volunteer effort. Her labors earned her the award for Outstanding RSVP Volunteer of the Year for the Sandy area in 1977. She donated ap proximately 300 hours last year as a volunteer with the R etired Senior Volunteer Program and spent countless other hours on the telephone gathering inform a tion fo r her various projects. “ I ’m not sure why I get involved in so many ac tivities. I guess I never learned to say ‘no’,’’ she joked. "B ut really, after my retirement I saw so many things that needed doing and I had the time to do them. I felt obligated to help."

The compilation was undertaken in 1971 and completed in 1973. " I f I had to estimate the time I spent on that project. I'd just say. take two years times 24 hours a day’,” she joked. Proceeds from the sale of the book were donated by the city to the Sandy Pioneer Association. It is un derstandable that Mrs Sch wartz, as treasurer of that group, is very protective of the funds brought in by the book. " I want to make sure they are used for something which w ill advance the Pioneer Association," she said. The urge to record events is a trait that was passed from mother to daughter for at least three generations, according to Mrs. Schwartz "M y mother always took notes,” she said, "and my grandmother wrote us very detailed letters of her daily activities Each letter would read, ‘I washed Monday and ironed Tuesday...’ It got so we children could read the letters w ithout opening them ” Mrs. Schwartz has saved a lifetim e’s worth of notes, letters and clippings " I have every report card I was given, and I ’ve kept my first grade reader," she said. " I ’m so glad we’ve never had a fire,” she continued. "So many people lose things and I ’m grateful I could keep mine I've got a bad case of sentimentality.” f, jl ■ -L ui - a ivisuufv J B 1 <** * •*-- i * * * ’* < ^ , < . . ■ ' ' ■ ■ « . < Marie Schwartz displays volunteer award.
