Oregon Dunes DAR welcomes new member
Ruth Blattner, who lives in
Lakeside, was welcomed as a
new member of Oregon Dunes
Chapter Daughters of the
American Revolution (DAR) at
their May 22 meeting.
“In 1995 my deceased
father’s family members found
my mother and me. We’d
changed zip codes and they had
a hard time tracking us down.
This really confirmed a family
feeling for me and I felt com-
plete,” Blattner said. “I wanted
to do more to understand where
we came from and how this has
influenced who I am.”
Blattner’s fifth great-grand-
father was Thomas Hardaway
Jr., born in 1713 and died after
1792. He married Agnes
Thweatt. Hardaway was a very
patriotic person and gave mate-
rial goods, guns and money to
the Revolutionary cause.
Hardaway’s son, John, who
was born in 1751, married
Elizabeth Maclin, daughter of
Frederick Maclin. During the
Revolutionary War, he resided
in Brunswick County, Va,
where he was a lieutenant and
major in the Virginia militia
and rendered monetary aid.
Hardaway was awarded
the Sword of Bravery by
General George Washington at
the Battle of Cowpens in
1781.

Another of Blattner’s ances-
tors was Frederick Maclin,
born in 1720. He was a colonel
in the Virginia State Militia
from 1777 to 1778, in
Brunswick County, Va. He also
served as Member of the House
of Burgesses from 1775 to
1776; he was also a County
Lieutenant.
The first Hardaway recorded
in the Colonies was a
child, born in 1625, named
James Hardaway, in Charles
City, Va.
Daughters of the American
Revolution is celebrating its
125th anniversary this year.
DAR was established in
Oregon in 1896. The Oregon
Dunes chapter has been active
in Florence since it was organ-
ized in 2008.
As a nonpolitical, lineage
organization their mission
is to promote historic preserva-
tion through four Oregon
museums, encourage education
through youth programs, and
celebrate patriotism through
service to our veterans
and active duty military per-
sonnel.

The trademark sound of the
FloTones consists of classic
American music presented by
the ensemble in mellow chords.
Harmonies are complex and
contain as many as six separate
parts.
In its concert, “The Glory of
Love,” at the Florence Events
Center tonight, May 30, the
group is adding something
new: three duets and a
solo.
These songs all fit into
amplifying just what is the
glory of love.
Somewhat in the spirit of the
old-time radio program “The
Bickersons,” Lori and Ken
Janowski challenge each other
in Irving Berlin’s “Anything

The FloTones
You Can Do, I Can Do Better,”
from “Annie Get Your Gun.”
Then John Culp and Kate
Redwine think about splitting
in the Gershwin classic “Let’s
Call the Whole Thing Off.”
Most everyone knows the
clever lyrics, “you say EE-ther
and I say EYE-ther, you say
NEE-ther and I say NYE-
ther…” An apocryphal story
says one critic, never having
heard it actually performed but
seeing only the lyrics, pro-
claimed this the dumbest song
ever written.
One of the original FloTone
singers, Jeanni Sanders, joins
newest member John Pohlman,
who joined the FloTones after
his memorable role as Jean
Valjean in last fall’s “Les
Miserables,” in singing Nat and
Natalie Cole’s duet version of
“Unforgettable.”
Finally,
Jan
Kinslow
announces musically that
“Married I Can Always Get,”
from “Manhattan Suite” by
Gordon Jenkins and recorded
by such artists as Patty Page
and Robert Goulet.
Providing keyboard accom-
paniment to the duets and solos
will be popular local favorite
Marty Adams.
Tickets are available at the
FEC box office or online for
$15. Seating will be limited so
get tickets early.
For more information, call
541-997-1994.
