BEND — Robert W. Chandler, the third editor in the
80-year history of The Bulletin and one of the nation’s
best-known newspapermen, died this morning at his Bend
home of prostate cancer. He was 75.

Plate after plate of fungus fi lls the room with a rich,
earthy smell.
Some you can eat.
Some will make you sick.
Some will kill you.
But that doesn’t scare members of the Southern Idaho
Mycological Association, who spent Friday and Saturday
gathering mushrooms around the Anthony Lakes area.
ONE YEAR AGO
from the Baker City Herald

The towering sign that greets visitors and citizens
of Baker City in front of the Baker Truck Corral near the
Campbell Street interchange on Interstate 84 has been
missing.
But now the 20-foot-tall sign, installed by the Kiwanis
Club of Baker City, is back.
And looking better.
Kiwanis Club secretary David Cowan said club mem-
bers decided it was time to clean and repaint the sign.
It reads “Welcome To Baker City On The Oregon Trail” on
its east side, along with rows of logos of service organiza-
tions and other local services.
The west-facing side reads “Thank You For Supporting
Our Community” and includes logos from several busi-
nesses.
Workers removed the sign on June 9 and re-installed
the refreshed version Friday, July 10.
The welcome display is a way to recognize the partners
that help make the Kiwanis Club possible, Cowan said.
The Club helps with projects such as the Santa photos
during the Christmas Festival of Trees, literacy programs,
school carnivals, and other events and programs aimed
toward helping children in Baker City.
Cowan said he is grateful to Kurt Miller, the owner of
the Truck Corral who donates the land and electricity for
the display year-round, as well as Ace Hardware and D&B
Supply for donating material.

his Heavenly Father to sustain him.
By 1971 he had accepted a job with the
Park Service at Crater Lake National
Park. While at Crater Lake he met the
love of his life, Bonnie Turner. They were
married in 1973 and she brought to the
marriage four children: Philip, Heather,
Noelle and Nanine.
Like all families, the children grew
up and married. The family moved from
Crater Lake, to Coos Bay and then on to
Medford. Keldon passed on his love of the
outdoors to all his children and grand-
children. He loved to be with his family.
Throughout his life, he worked hard for
his family and all who needed him. He
was always willing to lend a helping
hand. Keldon was an example of faith in
action.
Keldon retired in 1994 and moved back
to his childhood home in Halfway.
He is survived by his wife of 47 years,
Bonnie; his children, Philip Girts and
his wife, Kristen, Kelly Tandy and her
husband, Bill, Kelvin Gross and his wife,
Carol, Clifford Gross, Heather Hill and
her husband, Dave, Noelle Smith, and
Nanine Little and her husband, Charles;
12 grandchildren, nine great-grandchil-
dren, and numerous cousins.
Keldon was preceded in death by his
parents, Clifford and Marjorie Gross; his
sister, Carrol Moseley; his brother-in-law,
David Moseley; his sons-in-law, Gregory
Smith and Matt Annis; and his grandson,
Matthew R. Annis.
