Between songs, sopho- more bass singer Will Car- penter provided a narration, sprinkled with puns, about a mysterious missing tuba. The repertoire included “Ancient Moon,” played by the bands, and “Back to the 50s” from the choir, which included dance movements to songs such as “Jailhouse Rock,” “Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow” and “Rockin’ Around the Clock.” James said she’s been pleased with the students’ growth. “I have enjoyed working with the kids,” she said. “The group as a whole has a good enthusiasm for music.” She said she’s enjoyed combining the different groups for a more cohesive unit, and she encourages ideas from the students, so they can see parts of themselves in the performance. James, who is a Grant Union alumna, is in her first year teaching at Grant School District 3.

Cal was born Aug. 10, 1923 in Long Creek, Oregon, the oldest of three children of Garland and Leo- na (Blackwell) Weissenfluh. During WWII, Cal enlisted in the U.S. Ma- rine Corps and was stationed in Ha- waii. After his discharge in 1946, he entered Oregon State College gradu- ating in 1950 with a Bachelor of Sci- ence degree in Forest Management. In Cal’s 30-year career with the Forest Service he served as Assistant District Ranger in Dale (Umatilla NF), District Ranger in Burns and Lakeview (Ochoco NF) and a time on the Fremont NF, retiring in 1978. Cal’s paternal ancestors emigrated from Switzerland to Long Creek in the 1890’s. A chance encounter with a Swiss tourist in 1950 led to Cal’s discovery of Weis- senfluh relatives in Guttannen, Switzerland; he trav- eled to Switzerland and maintained contact with Swiss relatives. Later in life, Cal pursued his interest in genealogy. He brought the family together for a reunion in the ’80s and created a slide show of the Weissenfluh family history and narrated it at the most recent reunion in 2017. Cal is survived by his wife of 59 years, Shirley; half-brother Harvey Sweek; son Gregg; daughters Reigh Hays, Dawn White, Diana Stoffel, Jenny Hansford and Tracy Hayes; grandsons Scott Hayes, Gary Weissenfluh, Jamie Hayes and David Weissenfluh; nephew Tim McAllister; and nieces Neva Lynde, Treva Archer and Tracie Valenzuela. He was preceded in death by his brother John “Bud” Weis- senfluh; sister Helen McAllister; and grandson Kristopher Hayes. At Cal’s request, no local service will be held. His urn will be interred at Willamette National Cemetery in Portland with full military honors at a later date. Memorial contributions in Cal’s memory may be made to the Humane Society of Central Oregon. James T.
