Sandy woman
Son’s
by S C O T T NEWTON
It would bother some
mothers to have a son do
ing police work
But that doesn t seem to
be the case with Martha
Williams of Sandy, whose
son John D. (Jack) recent
ly retired after 27 and a
half years with the Oregon
State Police
Look at working in the
woods,” Mrs W illiam s
said ” You don't know
when a tree's going to fall
on you.
"W hen your num ber
comes up. that's it ”
Still, Mrs Williams will
admit to one time when it
bothered her a little that
her son was a policeman
There was a case about
three years ago where a
man kidnapped a taxi
driver, and left him for
dead n e a r P en d leton
Williams was the first to in
vestigate
He pulled his car up to a
haystack, which he was go
ing to search, when the
farmer and owner of the
field drove up. Williams
drove the patrol car away
from haystack and went
over and talked to the
farmer
He never got aroun< to
checking the haystack.
The alleged murderer
was reportedly in the
haystack with a gun aimed
at Williams.
“ It (John D .’s police
work) bothered me then,
after I found out about it,”
Mrs Williams admitted.
Overall, her when your
num ber's-up it's-up a t
titude has served her in
more ways than one
“ I had a chance to go to
Europe a number of years
ago, and I'd never ridden
on a plane, and that scared
m e,” she said
“ But then I got to think
ing, ‘Shoot, if anything's
going to happen it's going
to happen to me sitting
right in this chair.'
"So. I got on the plane
and went to Europe ”
She toured 10 countries in
30 days, and enjoyed Paris
She also liked Scotland, but
admitted it might have
been partly because she's
Scottish
She's also been to Hawaii
and the Caribbean, but
said, “ My traveling days
are over ”
It's too expensive to
travel now, she said
She is a member of
Eastern Star, and the
Golden Age club, and does
work for the Presbyterian
Church In fact, she was
re c e n tly s e le c te d as
deaconess
H er hobbies include
ceramics and sewing She
made all her Christmas
gifts this year
And, she still gets to an
occasional ball game, a
Williams family tradition.
Martha's husband, John
H , who died in 1963, played
s e m i-p ro b a s e b a ll in
Nebraska John D played
Class D ball in Jessup,
Geo . after serving in the
Air Force M ilitary Police.
While in the service, he
played on the Misaw (Air
Force base, team, which
won the Far East cham
pionship, which included
Japan, Guam and the
Ph'lippines They also won
the interservice (against
the other branches of the
service) Far East title
John D s youngest son,
Jim, 22 and a farmer,
played on a Babe Ruth
team that qualified for a
national tournament, and
Larry, 27 and a carpenter,
still plays slo pitch, with
Martha making an occa
sional game
After a year in Georgia.
Williams moved back to
Sandy, where he worked in
Walter Cook's sawmill on
the west end of town
Having worked for three
and a half years in the ser
vice as an air policeman, it
was just n a tu ra l that
Williams get back into
police work.
He got on with the OSP.
and was statio n ed in
Pendleton, where he's been
ever since
“ He could’ve moved,”
Mrs Williams said, “but he
thought too much of his
kids to interrupt their
schooling ”
John Williams is also
recently completed eight
years on the Pendleton
Roundup board, where he’s
worked the past five years
coordinating the activities
of the Um atilla Indians
The Pendleton Roundup,
one of the largest rodeos in
the United States, “runs
like clockwork,” Williams
said.
Williams was given a
beaded money bag at his
time to take advantage of
his experience
He was a criminal in
vestigator for 12 years.
In what time's left over
retirement dinner His wife
received a beaded purse
And, when the woman
who presented the gifts to
the Williams realized that
Martha was there, “ she
took the shaw off her back
and gave it to my mother ”
A letter from Governor
Victor Atiyeh was read at
the banquet, which said, in
part. “ I thank you on
behalf of all Oregonians for
a job well done ”
It doesn't appear that
Williams is having much
trouble keeping busy since
his retirement.
He's already built an of
fice in the basement. It is
there he will operate the
Williams Investigation and
Supoena Service.
Being 51, he's got some
Williams, a self avowed
avid hunter and fisherman,
should have no trouble fill
ing the void
And his wife, JoAnne,
whom he me and married
while in Miami, Fla . dur
ing the last of his stint in
the service, has had the
maps out
We can brake you,
tire you ft shock you!
. but the price is right,
and the work is, too!
