Fredrick Hogg
Fredrick Neil Hogg, 72,
passed away on Jan. 8, 2015.
He was born Oct. 18, 1942, in
Long Beach, Calif., to Freder-
ick and Margaret Hogg.
Fred grew up in Long
Beach before
moving to
Fullerton,
Calif., where
he attended
Fullerton
Union High
School. Foot-
ball was his
Frederick
main activity
Hogg
as well as
drama and
other pursuits. He would con-
tinue his football career at
Fullerton Junior College for
two years before receiving a
scholarship to play for Wash-
ington State University.
While attending WSU, he
would meet Diane, his wife of
50-plus years, on a blind date
after begging his dorm RA,
her aunt, to set them up. Fred
graduated at the top of his
class for his undergraduate
degree, and went on to com-
plete his master’s before leav-
ing WSU for Vietnam.
Fred attained the rank of
first lieutenant while in coun-
try. He was a part of the
Phoenix Program and also
worked within the intelli-
gence group that would brief
such people as John Paul
Vann.
After his discharge from
the Army, Fred returned to
Fullerton to begin work for
his family’s manufacturing
business. During his time
there, he would raise his
daughter, Christina, and his
son, Wade. Whether it was
Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Ro-
tary International, Shriners,
or many other activities, Fred
spent a great amount of time
giving back to the community
as well as raising his children.
In the spring of 1991, the
move to Oregon was complete,
with the relocation of the
manufacturing facility to its
current location in Odell. Hav-
ing spent his college years
here and meeting his wife, his
dream was to return and
enjoy life here.
Fred is survived by his wife,
Diane Lynn; his son, Wade
Hogg; daughter, Christina
Flath; daughter-in-law, Emily
Hogg; and grandchildren

new book Shake, Rattle &

Laughing with Parkinson’s
at the Hood River Library
on Saturday, February 7 at 2
p.m.
Vikki has been a long-

River Valley High School in
1974, then attended Oregon
State University for four
years before starting a ca-
reer that included many
years as a writer, humorist,
professional public speaker
and newspaper columnist.
At age 50, Vikki was diag-
nosed with Parkinson’s dis-
ease. After many dark days
spent coming to terms with
her diagnosis, her natural
comic optimism and irrev-
erence began to surface and
she started writing on her
blog about the funny side of
living with Parkinson’s.
Described as “Er ma
Bombeck meets Michael J.
Fox,” “Shake,
Rattle & Roll
With It” is a
collection of
Vikki’s hon-
est – and hi-

the ups and
downs of
life with a
chronic ill-
ness. She
shows us
how
to
laugh at
ourselves
by first
laughing
at her.
Vikki un-
abashedly shares with
us her most embarrassing
moments in her battle with
Parkinson’s.
Vikki says, “Right now,
there’s no cure for this dis-
ease, and that can be very
frightening to a Parkinson’s

The Hood River Valley
Speech and Debate team
took 15 competitors to the
Glencoe High School Tour-
nament on Saturday, Jan. 17.
Senior Dakota Bickle won
first place in Impromptu
Speaking and senior Lucas
Campos-Davis took third in
Radio Commentary. Fresh-
men Katelyn McAllister and
Ruby Patterson made it to
the final round in Poetry.
Bickle said, “It was a lot
of fun. I got four topics and
the one that won me was
about inconvenient truths
— the things that we face in
our daily lives we don’t
want to, jobs and things like
that. It was my strongest
speech of the day.
“It’s only my second year
in Impromptu, so I still have
a lot to learn,” Bickle said.
“It does take a lot of knowl-
edge of historical back-
ground and literary refer-
ences you can pull up, but as
well as being quick on your
feet you have to know a lot
about current events. It is
definitely a fun event.”
Campos-Davis’ talk was
on “video games as therapy
tools.”
“I’m better with prepared
speeches, and this is the
only event when we are not
judged on how you hold
yourself and look because
the judges are in the room
but turn away so they don’t
see you, as if you’re on the
radio,” Campos-Davis said.
It’s his second year in the
event but his first with this
particular speech.
McAllister’s set of four
poems included “The
