A9
Hall of Fame: Edie a finalist for PRCA Lifetime Achievement award
finals a few times.
In 1993, Clyde and Edie
moved to Hermiston, and
Clyde continued with Senior
Pro Rodeo, and finished sec-
ond in the world in 1998.
He had plans for a
return in 1999, but it never
happened.
While driving to Nampa,
Idaho, with a truck load of
cattle, he was hit head-on
by another semitruck. Clyde
was severely injured, cattle
were killed, and his truck
was totaled.
That was the end of his
rodeo career, but not his love
of rodeo.
At
the
Pendleton
Round-Up last week (he and
Edie have lifetime passes
to PRCA rodeos), he was
everywhere from behind the
bucking chutes to the Let ’er
Buck Room. There wasn’t a
stranger in the midst.
Though he enjoyed many
years of competing, he never
made the National Finals
Rodeo.
“He just missed out,” Edie
said. “He was 16th one year.
One of the secretaries didn’t
get results sent in. That was
kind of depressing.”
When he isn’t at a rodeo,

Round-Up. His first time
riding in the Pendleton
Round-Up was the mid-
1960s. They are the two
rodeos each year the couple
never misses.
Their daughter Crys-
tal was born in 1967, and
the young family lived in
a travel trailer following
rodeos most of the year.
Their daughter Kelly was
born in 1973, and Clyde cut
his travel to primarily circuit
rodeos.
“It was the best life ever,”
said Crystal, who lives in
Hermiston. “I loved it from
the beginning. I wouldn’t
trade it for the world. I grew
up around the big names
back in the day — my
dad’s friends’ kids were my
friends.”
With a family to sup-
port, and a house payment to
make, Clyde started driving
truck for Star Motor Freight.
He quit riding for a few
years, but soon was back
on the horses doing what he
loved.
He kept his rodeos
within the Columbia River
Circuit, and reached the

he likes to golf and take his
sailboat out on the river.
Keeping things in
check
In addition to raising a
family and joining her hus-
band on the road, Edie,
74, began helping rodeo
secretaries.
That soon turned into a
job — one she has enjoyed
for 52 years. One of the first
guys she processed for a
rodeo was eight-time world
champion calf roper Dean
Oliver.
Edie came in on the
ground floor with the
Columbia River Circuit in
1975, and most recently was
the circuit treasurer.
“The time, effort and life-
time passion she has for the
sport, I wish we had more
like her,” CRC president
Rowdy Barry said. “She is
all things rodeo. She knows
the rules, the bylaws.”

to get through five shut-
out innings. Matt Magill
allowed back-to-back sin-
gles to start the ninth
before retiring the next
three batters for his fifth
save.
The Pirates lost a fifth
straight game since win-
ning three of four from
Sept. 9-12. They have been
outscored 57-16 during the
losing streak, including
10-1 in the first two games
of this series.
Dylan Moore put the
Mariners ahead 2-0 with
a two-out, two-run double
down the left field line in
the second inning.
Cole Tucker hit a pinch-
hit triple for Pittsburgh
before scoring on a ground-
out from Kevin Newman,

Scott Servais pegged
Dunn to get through
Pittsburgh’s lineup once.
The rookie right-hander
achieved that goal in two
shutout innings, giving
up one hit and three walks
with one strikeout before
Milone entered. In his
major league debut, Dunn
gave up two runs and five
walks before being pulled
after two-thirds of an
inning against Cincinnati
on Sept. 12.

Newman extended his
hitting streak to 12 games
with a single over Mari-
ners shortstop J.P. Craw-
ford in the third inning. He
has hit safely in 20 con-
secutive starts dating back
to Aug. 24.

ber if she won.
“It’s nice to be recog-
nized,” she said.
Edie has helped several
people to become rodeo
secretaries, including her
daughter Crystal. She also
has worked for several top
livestock contractors over
the years, including Flying
Five, Big Bend, Corey &
Lange and Beard Rodeos,
just to name a few.
“My mom had me help-
ing out when I was old
enough to be a help and not
a hinderance,” Crystal said.
When she isn’t working,
they travel to watch their
granddaughter
Makayla
compete at rodeos, and they
make several visits a year to
Lewiston to visit family and
friends. Makayla will live
with her grandparents this
year while she attends Blue
Mountain Community Col-
lege and competes on the
rodeo team.
Edie makes the annual
trek to Las Vegas for the
NFR, but Clyde isn’t a big
fan of all the people, and
opts to stay home.
“He has to sit in his
seat,” Edie said. “He
can’t wander.”
a kick in the pants, some-
thing he said he needs every
now and again.
“Edie is always prodding
me to get something done,”
Barry said. “I appreciate
that. She lives and breathes
it, and doesn’t want the
acknowledgement.”
And for as much as she
keeps things running behind
the scenes, she’s also like a
den mother, if you will, to
the cowboys on the circuit.
“She’s there when way-
ward young cowboys need
straightening out, but she’s
also there for an attaboy,”
Barry said.
To this day, she still over-
sees rodeos in Kennewick,
Washington, Omak, Wash-
ington, Lewiston, Sisters,
Moses Lake, Washington,
Prineville, Central Point,
Coulee City, Washington,
and Big Fork, Montana.
“We got to do what we
wanted to our whole lives,”
Edie said.

named one of the final-
ist for the PRCA Donita

ment Award. Clyde proudly
offered up the information.
