honored by their co-workers, friends
and Tribal Council members.
Caroline and Popeye worked together
for many years at the Community
Center and former co-workers
remembered them with stories. They
were very understanding and giving
of themselves during their time at the
Community Center. They also had
very loud conversations, that were
called "discussions." Neither one was
ever wrong about anything and they
let each other know it.
A 15-foot blue spruce tree, planted
in their memory, is to be measured
by Santa Claus and decorated each
year during the Caroline and Popeye
Memorial. Like this year, pie and
refreshments will be served.
Santa Claus rode in on a fire engine
to measure the tree to compare with
the measurement he will take next
year. The height was recorded on a
"handcrafted" tree in the Social Hall.
Members of two Warm Springs
Elementary fourth grade classes
attended the dedication to sing
Christmas carols and see Santa, who
they knew was Fireman Bob.
This tree is planted in loving
memory of Caroline and Popeye and
there are hopes that people will help
take care of this tree and not let
children and youth pull at it or do any
harm to it. Remember, if Caroline
were here she would adamantly say,
"leave that tree alone."
Small trees, donated by Roma
Cartney and Lucinda Green, were
given to family members of Caroline
and Popeye to plant at their own
homes. They also donated little
mallets as tokens of this dedication
to Tribal Council, family and friends.
The tree was donated by Terry
Luther of the Natural Resources
department and the Utilities
Department planted it.
Pies were donated by Shirley Santa Claus measured and recorded the height of the blue spruce
Smith, Carol Stevens, Arlene tree to be 15-feet. The tree was planted as a dedication to Caroline
Boileau, Cherilyn Starr and Carol Tohet and Wilkins "Popeye" Hellon.
