Pat Mclntyre, Leo Crabtree, John A tribute to Henry By DOROTHY KREBS Henry Krebs was a sheep man. Sheep were his occupa tion, hobby, concern, and love. The Bible, in the book of John, describes a good sheep man as one who is willing to lay down his life for his sheep. Few are called upon to go to that extreme, but certainly everyone who calls himself a sheepman must be willing to make sacrifices. Being a sheepman meant that Henry Krebs could not be at his wife's side when their daughter was born. It meant not ever being able to see his son play in a football game. It meant being absent when his children graduated from both grade and high school. There were many other things he had to give up because the sheep demanded his presence. His family was taught trial the welfare of the sheep had to come first on many occasions. During his long illness, Henry never lost interest in the sheep. He kept close track of everything that concerned the sheep operation. As his body weakened, it became a source of amazement to his family how the mention of the sheep would bring a response from him. Two weeks ago. when his son told him he was going to bring the sheep from Montana to Oregon, Henry's hold on life was but a heartbeat. The sheep arrived on Tuesday and he was told the sheep were on the range on Wednesday. His heart grew Ifriti-Jwi.-jf : '. u the market for a new car? We'd like to help. Logan. Verner Troedson.
