They proved that Sunday, when they relaxed (all except Princess Rhonda Bellinger, who was . . . yep, you guessed it . . . working) for an afternoon of pleas ure at the McNary Yacht Club on the Columbia River. And it was a good time. The day, hosted by Queen Sheila Luciani's parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Luciani, was a get-together of the court, their parents, members of the Rodeo Board, some invited guests, and one newspaperman. There were about 70 persons on hand for a day of fun before a long week of activities of the Fair and Rodeo. It was one of the few week ends they haven't had to make some sort of appearance somewhere in East ern Oregon. Princess Patti Healy decided she wouldn't try to waterski (she hasn't learned how to swim) but Queen Sheila and her Princesses Janet Palmateer and Sherri O'Brien all got up together behind the Luciani's boat. At one time, they were even joined by Ron Currin. Her father went too fast for Sheila, so she gave him a ride a little later in the afternoon. With the rough water along about 5 in the afternoon, the skiing got a little treacherous. The older folks, and some of the younger ones, too, all get a ride in Glenn Campbell's big cabin cruis er. There was plenty of food and refreshment for ev eryone, and the picnic tables were humming when the dinner hour came. And a good meal called for another boat ride. The river was like glass at 7 p.m., and it urged one to break its mirror-like surface. Now that sounded like a great idea, so the three members of the court headed back for shore to don their swim suits for an evening dip. It was almost nine o'clock before they headed back out, and the darker it got, the more fun it was to park the boat and swim in the middle of the Columbia. You could tell they were relaxed. You might not be able to tell this week, but just ask them. It was a good time. I Pacific Northwest Gets New Forester C.
