I AM BACK TO DO WHAT I LOVE TO DO!! And that is
to continue providing everyone with the quality Real Es-
tate service that you deserve and have been given over
the past forty plus years. Our team and myself are al-
ways available to provide you with all of your real estate
needs. My appreciation to my family, for all their love
and support. My office staff, Traci (Franklin) Frazier, Pete
Teague and my loyal secretary Jo Stiner for all of their
help during my absence. Stop in and say hello.
I also want to express my sincere thanks to everyone for
the flowers, cards, calls and visits and most especially your prayers during my
extended stay in the hospital. A big thank you also goes out to the Blue Moun-
tain Hospital and the friendly staff for the excellent care that I received and for
the new friends that were made. Don't be fooled that a smaller hospital cannot
compete. After my stay in a larger hospital I was very fortunate and happy to
be able to come back to John Day.There is a good reason that the hospital was
selected as one of the top 100 smaller hospitals in the United States. They are
very professional, knowledgeable and show empathy for their patients.
