Pendleton resident thanks
honest citizen
To the angel in the brown shirt at D&B
on June 27:
Monday, June 26 I took a fried to the
Tri-Cities for an eye exam. Wednesday,
June 28 I was to take her back for eye
surgery. On Tuesday, June 27 I was
taking care of my business I stopped at
D&B Supply for garden tools and as I
came out I remembered I still needed
to check my tires. As I drove into Les
Schwab I noticed my purse was not
beside me. Panic-stricken, I rushed back,
praying “God protect my purse ’til I get
there.”
I saw it was not in the cart where I
would have left it. My panic level went
over the top. I rushed in, asking a clerk if
anyone had turned in a purse. She smiled
and said yes, a man had, and there is the
man. You were the most beautiful angel in
a brown shirt I have ever seen. I thanked
you but I didn’t get your name.
Your kind deed made it possible for
me to take my friend for her eye surgery
on Wednesday, as my driver’s license was
in my purse. I want to thank you publicly
for being the angel God sent to answer
my prayer. Thank you again. Pendleton is
a very good place to live.

EOU online program ranked best in Oregon
A recent survey from
The Best Schools names
Eastern Oregon Universi-
ty’s online early childhood
education degree as one of
the top program offerings in
the country.
The La Grande-based
school’s ECE program was
deemed the top in Oregon
and 16th nationwide. The
ranking is a result of an
evaluation process surveying
program quality, courses
offered, faculty, rankings,
awards and a university’s
reputation for providing
quality online programs.
“We are excited about
this national recognition
announcement,” said Rae
Ette Newman-Conedera,
ECE program coordinator.
“This is the second time the
early childhood program has
been nationally recognized
since its inception during the
fall of 2015.”
EOU’s two-year, non-li-
censure major in early child-
hood education prepares
students to work with young
children from birth to age 8,
gaining knowledge and skills
needed to support, educate
and advocate for young chil-
dren in a variety of careers.
Nearly two dozen students
will graduate this year as the
first class to complete EOU’s
online program.
Graduates of the major
often go on to create high-
quality early care and educa-
tional programs as teachers,
program
directors
