Page 2C YOUR EO NEWS East Oregonian Saturday, October 29, 2016 Owned by Ashley Finch Elaion, aka Ellie, almost got adopted by a different family. However, when the cat was stood up, Ashley Finch of Pendleton swooped in to get her. Ellie, now 5, makes herself right at home — gently pawing at the bedding to signal her desire to sleep under the covers with mom. Owned by Anna Ansotegui Owned by Eric & Emily Singer Cleo likes to kick back and watch TV in her Pendleton home — often sitting like a human. The next thing you know, Anna Ansotegui’s 4-year-old feline friend will be asking for some wine and cheese. Brother and sister Tony and Ziva are named after NCIS TV show characters. The 7-month-old siblings love to chase each other around their Pendleton home. However, the Singers often fi nd them snuggling up on the window sill. But, when it’s nap time, they prefer to utilize a human lap. Owned by Emily Bradley Rocket was found in Hermiston in pretty sad shape with bugs all over her face. Agnes Nelson rescued the little cutie and now the 5-month-old lives in Pendleton with her granddaughter, Emily Bradley. Rocket comes by her name honestly, as she loves to zoom out of the house, ascend a tree and achieve liftoff onto the roof. Owned by Holly Cyganik Boomer was adopted about a year ago from PAWS. Holly Cyganik of Pendleton said Boomer seems to think he rules the house. He lays around most of the day and then springs to action about 2 a.m., rolling a noisy toy ball across the hardwood fl oors. ANNIVERSARY COMMUNITY CALENDAR Raymond and Norma French Norma and Raymond French recently celebrated their 70th wedding anniver- sary with friends and family during a reception for them at Sun Ridge Retirement Community in Pendleton, Oregon, on October 23. Raymond enlisted in the United States Navy following his high school graduation in Heppner. He was released from service at the end of World War II and returned home to marry his high school sweetheart, Norma Denton, on October 26, 1946, in Condon, Oregon. Attending were brides- maids Garnett Bums, Louise Maddock, and Norma’s sister Sharon D e n t o n . Best man was Raymond’s brother, Joe French. Their courtship was a long-distance one since Raymond lived in Heppner and Norma lived in Condon. Raymond did not own a car. This was during the days of rationing due to the war when coupons were needed for almost everything including gasoline and tires. Norma and Raymond French in 1946 One coupon was worth four gallons of gas. Raymond’s mother would occa- sionally be able to give Raymond a coupon and the Catholic priest, Father McCormick, would sympa- thize with him and furnish him one or two. Then Raymond would fi nd someone with a car and offer the coupons for a ride to Condon. Another challenge to the journey was the tires. In those days, tires had tubes and everyone remembers the tubes had “patches on patches” as tires were hard to obtain. The road between Heppner Owned by Caroline Jared Felix is a 2-year-old rescue cat who lives with Caroline Jared in Hermiston. He appears to think the home is his kingdom — stealing Rex’s bed, his border collie/ corgi mix brother. SATURDAY, OCT. 29 and Condon was still partly gravel. Raymond remem- bers helping to change many fl at tires. When Norma wanted to get to Heppner, she caught a ride with Bill Cox on the creamery truck as it made its regular route from Heppner to Fossil. No one needed to be in a hurry since the speed limit was 35 miles per hour. They still laugh about the fact it had to have been true love between them to overcome the distance and travel obstacles they faced to be able to see one another. Following a honeymoon trip to Portland, Oregon, Norma and Raymond lived at Vinson for a year and then moved to the ranch home on Big Butter Creek with the nearest town, Heppner, 25 miles away. At the beginning in their new home, they had a 1941 Ford pickup for transportation, no electricity, no running water in the home, and work horses with which to do all the work. During their years on the ranch they raised three daughters: Karen of Tigard, Ore., Verina of Austin, Texas, and Susan of Heppner.

I needed help putting the owl boxes that I built for my project 30 feet up in the trees. I had a business lined up to help me, but they could never fi nd the time. I was down to the 11th hour, needing to get my project completed in order to meet the deadline of the Eagle Scout Ceremony that had been already set by the previous two Eagle Scouts in my troop. I called Kelsey Garton of Kelsey Garton Tree Service. He not only helped me out, he sent his foreman, Eric, the very next day, on his day off with his bucket truck to help me out. I cannot say thank you enough to Kelsey his crew for coming through for me on such short notice. It is nice to know that there are still people like Kelsey and Eric in our community. A sincere thank you, Jon Diehl Eagle Scout Troop 700, Pendleton Mayer’s musical revue shines Just a note to thank Dr. Margaret Mayer for writing and directing such an amazing musical production of the story of Oscar Hammerstein, not only including his musical talents, but also allowing us to know this man.
