At that time, the Review was Gayla still weekly because it had a Patton Editor full staff available to do so. But, it wasn’t making the money the other monthly paper’s he had pur- chased from the Pry’s were making so his choice was to stop publication of it. The front page article on that fi nal issue was about it being the Review’s last. After 90 years in publication, it would be such a shame to let that hap- pen and I thought, I’ll buy it, and fi gure out the dynamics later. As we agreed on a price, Roeper and I literally ran to the warehouse to yell out to press workers: “Stop the press- es!!” Seriously, that’s what we yelled. Now, you can’t make this stuff up and as it turned out, it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made in my life. Here’s my dilemma. On my Bill of Sale, it says: all for- mer issues of the Review belong to me. However, when the fi ling cabinet (full of history), was delivered to me, there unfortunately were only a hand- ful of the old hardbound issues deliv- ered with it. I asked at the time where the rest of them were, and the delivery people didn’t know. I was extremely concerned about this and Roeper said he’d try to fi nd out where the rest of them were. He never did. It would be some years later that I would fi nd out that some how, in some way, the St. Johns Heritage Society had most or at least, many of them. For many years I have attempted (via letters, notes, and conversations,) to get these old issues returned, but my correspondence has never been an- swered. Now I’m asking that if you, or someone you know can help have them returned to their rightful owner, I would appreciate it. To compile and create a lasting his- tory for North Portland, it is impera- tive these old newspapers be returned. Their old pages have now become yellow, faded and crispy with time, and soon will start to disintegrate. It’s imperative that if the history between those precious pages be saved, they need to be turned into electronic re- cords. And so, I would be very much appreciative, if those old issue were returned to the Review offi ce as soon as possible. If you can help accomplish this, please call or email the offi ce at: 503-283-5086 or reviewnewspaper@ gmail.com. I will gladly pick them up any- where, anytime. I am absolutely will- ing to still lend issues to the Heritage Society, or whoever has them, for their pleasure to read, when requested. Until next issue, stay safe.

St. Johns Bridge Contest Rules: For each issue the editor will choose two pictures to be used as either a Mast- h ead or as a Photo of the Week. A third pictures may also be used as space allows. At the end of 2015 (most likely in November,) the pictures will be voted upon by read- ers for which photo reader’s liked the best. The winner will receive a $100 cash prize from the Review. Pictures must be: *Sent in high resolution (200+) and sent to reviewnewspaper@comcast.net or review- newspaper@gmail.com in JPEG format. * Pictures may be cropped (by the Review) to fi t the paper’s perimeters. For photos ap- pearing in the Masthead they need to be vertical more than horizontal. Masthead pictures are 10.25” across, and 3” to 5” tall. Pictures of the Week can be vertical or horizontal and any size. * Pictures appearing in the paper must belong to taker of the picture, but the Review has the right to use them in current and future issues. * Color pictures are preferred, but outstanding black & whites might be used. * Photos used in 2013 and/or 2014 may be sent and used again. * If multiple photos are sent at one time by a photographer, the Review will use judgment for the picture (or pics) we think will print best in the paper. * Since this is a fi rst, these rules may change during the year, or more suggestions and rules added. (We’ll learn as we go.) * One vote per person. Voting begins in November where all the year’s pictures will be re-shown. (Disclaimer: Pictures appearing in the paper are reformatted to tiff’s at 600 resolution for printing presses. After placement in the paper and being printed on newsprint, the photos may lose a certain amount of clarity. The Review cannot be responsible for lack of clarity or any other changes in the pictures. The Review is not responsible or liable for pictures sent in saying their author has taken them when in fact they may not have.)

Her name is Mary. Read the question again. Stumper #3: Answer to First Question: If you answer that you are fi rst, then you are wrong. If you overtake the second person, you take his place, you are second. $13/per year Circulation Mgr: Ginger Harris Circulation Manager: Ginger Harris; Assist Circulation Mgr: Roger Meyers.
