HHS class of ’68 celebrates 50 years
Approximately 60 mem-
bers of the Hermiston High
School class of 1968 recently
gathered to reminisce and
renew friendships 50 years
after turning the tassel.
Held Sept. 20-23, the
reunion activities kicked off
with a gathering sponsored
by Susan Hoffman and her
husband, Richard Page,
at Midway Bar & Grill. A
Mexican fiesta buffet held
Sept. 21 offered festive fun at
the home of Bob and Vickie
Smith. Musical entertain-
ment and a smoked pig with
all the fixings were the high-
lights of a Sept. 22 get-to-
gether, compliments of Dave
and Andrea Follett. And, to
wrap up the weekend’s festiv-
ities, Richard Scarlett and
Wanda Hunt hosted break-
fast at their Hat Rock home.

THANK YOU
Whitmore Road looking great
The purpose of this letter is to express my thanks
to the work of the Umatilla County Road Crew that
restored Whitmore Road. I was beginning to think it
would be impossible to make it ever again navigable.
I’m glad to be wrong. Thank you, crew. You did a
great job!
