couple of years ago. Mr.Gribble
had experimented with an
electronic device that could
predict impending trouble in
electric equipment and
various kinds of machinery.
Now their largest single
customer is the giant Weyer
haeuser Corp., and they are
serving such other large comp
anies as Hoise-Cascade,
Georgia-Pacific, Crown Zeller
bach as well as many others.
Hie Gribble sons, Douglas
and Stuart are officers in the
firm and there are a number of
franchisees.
This business is definitely on
the grow.
Ruby Lane, gates intently at her husband. William Vester Lane,
who recently returned to Lexington and lleppner after 33 years.
Last week. Bill did exactly as
, the song suggests and he and his
wife Ruby took the sentimental
journey "home". Bill was born
and raised in Lexington, and
he returned there after 33 years.
Bill's dad was R.H. Lane who
married Eva Fuqua of Eight
Mile. Bill was born in Lexington
in 1910.
He attended elementary and
high school in Lexington, and
won quite a name for himself
participating in athletic events.
Although he played in all the
major sports, football was his
favorite. "I played for the high
school and also for the home
team on Sundays", says Bill.
"We sure had some wild games
against Heppner", he recalled
with a smile.
Bill and Ruby recently re
turned from Weatherton
Texas, Ruby's home town, and
she claims that all Bill has been

22 years and through the years
Bill has always talked about
returning home. That has been
his one dream". Ruby said.
A few phone calls later, one to
Judge Carmichael and one to
his uncle Clay Phillips, and the
Lanes were en route to eastern
Oregon.
The trip, combined business
and pleasure, has been all
pleasure for the Lanes as Bill
keeps running into old friends
and relatives in the area.
They are presently staying
with the Phillips and plan to
return to California the first
week in July. However, this is
not the end of their story. If the
Lanes can find the time to
combine some of their pleasure
with business they have tenta
tive plans of moving back
"home".
"Heck." Bill said, "I have
only been away for 33 years and
now that I have returned I feel
that this is "home". His wife
Ruby agrees.
