Mrs. Charles McKee who
were homesteading between
Lexington and Heppner some
where on Willow Creek. The
McKee family, who had three
homesteads belonging
to Charles McKee, her fat
her; George McKee, her
grandfather and Shelby Tay

came from Roseberg.
They moved to Portland
when Mrs. McPeak was three

McKees and Taylors are now
deceased.
Mrs. McPeak was ac
companied by her younger
brother, David McKee, who
was born after the family

uur apologies to Anne Hos
kins who had onlva 30-mlnule
notice that I aa on my way
out to set pictures of her.
She was going to be gone
(or the weekend and 1
couldn't go out Monday. She
was very matter of tact about
It all. No fuss and fury that
her hair was in curlers for
the dance that night Just
really great about it all.
Thank you, Anne.
THE ARRIVAL of my sis
ter, Cneslah Young last Tues
day saved me from a fate
almost as bad as my tumble
down the Court House steps!
Not really but all Charlie
can cook is peanut butter
sandwiches and for three
times a day that would have
been a bit much!
Anyway it was great tohave
her. She retired In June as
director of Public School Li
braries at Lebanon and just
can't realize that she can
actually take time to take
these side jaunts. She's had
several short trips already
and plans a longer one after
Christmas. I caught her at
home between taunts. She
plans to be back for the
FAIR and bring her youngest
grandson.
Cheslah went with me to
talk with Queen Susie. We
had a delicious lunch and a
delightful afternoon. Have you
ever heard of a 3-handed
photographer? I d hold the
camera, she'd turn to get
the focus and snap the but
ton. Anyway the pictures
didn't turn out too badly.
Friday the doctor took out
the stitches on my head. This
Friday he will change casts.
I can hardly wait. I told
Charlie I thought my elbow
was getting moldy. Just may
be I'll be able to take pic
tures with this new one. I'm
supposed to have more finger
movement.
I continue ' to be amazed
with the cards filled w ith kind
thoughts that keep coming my
way from Morrow County,
Pilot Rock, Pendleton, Mil-ton-Freewater
and Joseph.
Flowers and goodies from
gardens and pantries.
THANKS Friends. Believe me
the next people I see with
a broken bone will have M03E
of my sympathy than ever
before.

swimming lessons at the Hep
pner Municipal Pool Is over
now, after running for two
worthwhile weeks.
This session Is for mot
hers and their children ho
are too young to be In the
pool by themselves. ThU
way, both the mothersandthe
children benefit.
A good example of what can
be learned In such session
Is Shane Mallory , three-year-old
son of Mr. and Mrs. Don
Mallory, Heppner. This if
Shane' s first summer in the
water, and he progressed
very well. By the time the
two weeks were up, he was
swlmmlne short distances,
with some assistance; half
Jumping, half-diving Into the
water from the side of the
pool; and doing the same
from the diving board. Thi
expression on his face while
performing bis " tricks" con
veys his true delight with the
water. Mrs. Mallory Is an
avid swimmer, and like she
said, " I encourage the boys."
The Mallory' s other son. five
year old Shawn completed
Beginners session earlier in
the summer.
Also taking the lessons
were Jill Nelson and her
mother Mrs. Kenneth Nelson,
Lexington; Julie Gerklng and
her mother, Mrs. Marvin
Gerklng, Heppner; and Terry
Sabey and her mother, Mrs.
Ted Sabey. Lexington.
The warm days are slipp
ing away faster than most
would like to think but there
is still time to get some swim
ing in before the pool closes.
