Dear Smoke Signals:
Thank you for the article regarding the Keizer Tribal property. That
information and map bring back memories of my sixth-grade student days
at Chemawa Indian School.
I was 12 years old in 1946 and my sister, Sharon, was 11 and in fifth
grade. The fall school days at Chemawa meant the students went to the
fields and orchards west of the school facility and gathered field tomatoes
and fruit from the apple, pear and plum trees.
We went to school in the morning and gathered produce after lunch. The
fields and orchards were where the present-day Interstate 5 passes by the
new Chemawa Indian School campus.
In the "old days," Chemawa was a grade school and a high school. The
young girls stayed in McBride Hall, which was very near the railroad
tracks. I recall the old steam engines blowing their whistles as they rushed
by the school. That always made me homesick.
Thank you for bringing back these memories of my Chemawa school
days.

Dear Smoke Signals:
Courtney Galligher would like to thank everyone who supported the Fry
Bread Fundraiser for her. A big thank you to Violet Zimbrick for organiz
ing the event, Claudia Leno, Kristy DeLoe, Connie Graves for deliveries,
the Community Center crew and all friends who provided supplies, cooked
and served at the event. Thank you to St. Michael's Altar Society and
Spirit Mountain Casino for the bake sale.
I appreciate all the flowers, cards, gifts, thoughts and prayers I have
received since my accident. I am improving every day and plan to spend
the upcoming holidays at my parent's home in Grand Ronde. I will be
traveling to Portland to continue my physical therapy and rehabilitation
in my road to recovery.
Thank you again to all,
Courtney and family
