Johnson, Ju- jepsen is a very active mountain climber, being a member
of MA Z A MAS, and has climbed all the major peaks in Oregon
and Washington. He recently received a certificate for out
standing accomplishments in soil preservation and in 1970
was selected the Morrow CountyConservation Man of the Year.
Morrow County extension agent, Harold Kerr, had this to
say about Bob Jepsen, "...his close relationship with his
son and daughter and the admiration and respect which they
have for their father is something beautiful to see. I know
of no family who works and plays together, more than the
Jepsen family." Reverend Daniel Thompson of the All
Saints Episcopal Church, Heppner, had this to say, "...He has
been a member of our church vestry for a number of years
and I consider him an outstanding, dynamic person. He is
a man of strong moral fiber and has the ability to communi
cate not only to his family but to all of the vouth, and to his
community, he is truly a representative of what all fathers
should be."
Mr. Jepsen will be honored Saturday evening at 630 p.m.,
