Community college attracts retired student Leo Brown thinks he’s the oldest person in building two at Portland Community College’s Rock Creek Center, but that doesn’t stop him from learning something new. Brown, 66, retired from Portland School District no. I, in April of 1978 and in less than nine months found himself enrolled in the college auto body program. "It had always been in the back of my rnind to learn how to fix up my own cars, but there was never enough time when I had a job,” Brown explained. For 21 years Brown served on the school district’s custodial relief team, going to a new assignment each day. “ I liked having something different each day," he said. So far Brown find the vinyl top work the most interesting. “ Fixing vinyl tops is nice and clean, and it doesn't get boring,” he explained. Brown enrolled in the classes, which he attends regularly from 7 a.m. to noon each day, mainly to work on his own cars but said he isn’t adverse to earning a little money when he gains enough skills. He has a big double garage so he can work indoors even in bad weather. ‘‘They have good training and good instructors here,” Brown Atiyeh names Richardson commented. ‘‘And the price is right.” Seniors take the classes at no cost, other than tools and lab sup­ plies, when space is available in PCC classes. “ The lab fee was only $16 this term,” Brown said, “ And I already owned many of the tools.” Brown likes being at Rock Creek Center as much as he enjoys learning the auto body trade. “ I love being a round people. It’s a good way to fill in the hours.” Brown’s wile Helen thinks a little differently about his retirement time. ‘‘She thinks I’m too busy,” he related. “ But after all these years apart, I don’t think we could really get along at home all the time.” A fishing advocate, Brown also spends a lot of his retirement time on deep sea charters. Brown intends to learn only part of the auto body trade. ” 1 don't care about some things, such as air con­ ditioning,” he said. "The nice thing about PCC is being able to take what classes you want.” The college offers a two year cour­ se leading to an associate of applied science degree, but they have classes set up in a modular pattern so a student interested in specific phases may sign up for shorter sessions. For instance, the arc welding portion takes three weeks to learn and the metal finishing class takes six weeks. Brown is one of many PCC students who fill in retirement hours with a class to learn a new trade.

Richardson, has been named by Gov. Vic Atiyeh to a four- year term on the new state Juvenile Services Commission. Richardson is director, civic relations, Portland General Electric Co., Portland. His appointment follows the with­ drawal of the name of Nancy A. Bord, Beaverton, who was appointed along with eight others to the com­ mission in early October.

A former air division ad ­ m inistrator for the state Public Utility Commissioner, Richardson hold political science degrees from Lewis and Clark Cllege and Mt. Hood Community College.

Established by the 1979 Oregon Legislature, the state Juvenile Ser­ vices Act finances community juvenile service programs ad ­ ministered by the commission. The act authorizes grants to coun­ ties which apply for them volun­ tarily. Such grants will fund development and financing of locally controlled services to help reduce juvenile delinquency. Local com­ munity juvenile services commission will provide control of the local programs. One of the goals of the act is to reduce the number of juveniles in local areas receiving state services and being committed to state training schools.
