The Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon, October 27, 1977 THREE
with Justine YVeaJherford v
Heppner has a most unusual, non-human, very
short -legged hitchhiker. His name is Herman, and he is a
dachshund that belongs to Judy and Norman Richert of
Church Street.
Herman, like dozens of other animals, found that Lois
Winchester is a super friend. He often visited her and her
animal family when they lived just across the street from
him. Now that Lois and clan have moved out to Three Mile
Corner and Judy and Norm are both working, Herman gets
pretty lonely. However, he has figured out how to visit his
dear friends.
Twice he has just started out the Hinton Creek Road
toward the Winchester place and given a lady motorist a
"pick-me-up-please"look. Two lady drivers have picked
him up, and Herman has made it clear to them somehow that
he wanted off at Lois's. So his drivers have turned in the
Winchester driveway, and Herman has happily jumped out.
Lois accepted him and asked each lady to please pick him up
again when she returned to Heppner and to take him back to
the Rickert home.
This was done, and smarty Herman has gotten several
fine round-trip rides and several happy days of visiting with
his old friends so far.
A lovely hospital practice, which developed long after
my last child arrived, is the champagne and steak dinner put
on for couples on the new mother's last night at the hospital.
At Pioneer Memorial Hospital these dinners take place in
the new, mainfloor lounge with its tremendous western and
northern view windows. The table is set with a lace cloth and
centered with a flower, figurine and candle (pink or blue)
arrangement.
Last Sunday evening was Sandy Mathews Greiner's last
night before she and new daughter Kristie departed for their
Condon home.
Sandy thought that her husband Jim Greiner wasn't
going to be able to get to the hospital at the dinner hour so she
invited her mother, Naomi Mathews, to come share the feast
with her. Sandy and Naomi were seated and just got through
their salads when Jim arrived.
So Jim had the champagne and steak with his wife. On
Monday he took Sandy and Kristie home to join Kristie's big
sister Jennifer and middle sister Michelle.
Two Fighting Irish football teams and their opposing
( teams, the Trojans, had big football experiences last
weekend. Although Heppner's one time Irish were hosting
the Lyle Trojans for Homecoming, the Mustangs, whose
backfield was especially hurt because of sick and injured
players, were rather overwhelmed by the visiting Trojans.
. The Ackley-directed half-time was great, however.
At Notre Dame it was the Fighting Irish who
overwhelmed the visiting Trojans from Southern California.
Husband Bill and I watched most of that encounter on the
hospital T.V. and were excited about that N.D. player named
Montana. Although I still favor baseball, inspite of rooting for
the Dodgers, I did enjoy seeing the great Fighting Irish put
down a higher ranked team.
Because Rachel Harnett is away visiting her son and his
family at Issaquah, Washington, I had the pleasure of
showing the State Hospital visitors from Pendleton around
"her" museum. It was really satisfying to see how many of
them enjoyed looking at the various exhibits and were
coaxing their friends to "come see what I've spotted!"
The hospital staff members and the patients repeated
"We really didn't expect to find such a fine museum. This is a
splendid place. We are sure that Morrow County has the
nicest museum in Eastern Oregon."
Occasionally I feel that I want to write about some
residence or yard in Heppner that seems outstanding, or so
improved over its former state. This summer I have been
thrilled by the terrific improvement of the cheerful-looking,
yellow house by the lower bridge at the comer of Main and
Quaid . It looks so neat and its yard has been so beautiful with
a large border of pink cosmos and with many marigolds and
other flowers. Surely that place should be a real contender
for the "most improved" award.
Somehow the moisture we had awhile back and the warm
sunshine we have had here recently seems to have gotten
some of our flora confused. Several of us have been picking
raspberries. (I've taken two bowls full up to the hospital to
Bill from our backyard). Now I hear that a Snowball bush is

Last Monday, Oct. 24, postoffices were closed in
commemoration of Veterans Day. When I flippen on my
favorite T.V. program, GOOD MORNING, AMERICA, I
learned that the world was celebrating United Nations Day.
A good review of highlights of the founding and operation of
the U.N. followed the news of what to celebrate.
Because I am not too big for celebrating just now and
because I certainly feel that both the United Nations and our
Veterans deserving honoring I decided to just ignore both
events and in main carry on as usual. Maybe you decided to
have a twice as big as usual celebration was that fun?
