Last Thursday evening an
anonymous friend telephoned
to ask if I had noticed Judge
D O. Nelson's picture in the
Nov. 13 issue of Time mag
azine. I had not. Did you?
What a likeness! It is from
the Book Section on page K9
(between pages 122 and 123.)
The look alike is actually a
Cornish author, A.L. Rowse,
an "owlish bachelor of 74"
whose new "The annotated
Shakespeare" in three vol
umes at $60, I would dearly
love to own. Rowse has
published 43 books. He states
that "Americans are really
more open-minded than the
British." He surely looks like
our much-younger D.O.
What a weekend! I luckily returned from attending the
fortieth reunion of my O.S.U. class just in time to see Channel
2's 5:30 Sunday news coverage with the excellent pictures of
the Haiti-Thailand table tennis championship held at
Heppner High. Then I talked with several who attended.
Grace Buschke told me that there were probably only about
100 who paid admission. She said she really enjoyed it, felt
proud that it was transferred to Heppner, thought the TV
coverage and the good publicity was great. Grace said that
she felt most viewers favored the Thai team but that they
were pleased with all the players.
I got a report that the Friday night Luau at the Elks Club
went well, but that the Saturday night show wasn't too well
attended. Although I haven't yet got a first person report on
the great football game at lone, I was thrilled to hear of the
super performance there. I was so sorry that this big Morrow
weekend coincided with the reunion I had made plans to
attend and which I enjoyed so much.
Before I jump from Heppner events to Corvallis fun I
have also heard that the "Make It With Wool" finals held
Saturday at St. Patrick's was a very nice affair and that the
Altar Society furnished the 60 who attended a very nice
luncheon. The lone girls were dismissed early to rush to that
championship football playoff.
Well, after 40 years my college classmates are even
funnier and more clever than I remember them. Many of the
lads have lost some of their hair and many of the lasses have
gained some weight, but we all kept telling one another "You
sure look great!"
The reunioners and spouses from the classes of 1937 and
1938 filled the M.U. Tearoom at noon, then cheered for the
new, young Beavers against Arizona State, and later
gathered at Nendels to enjoy one another Saturday evening.
There was a cocktail party at the Corvallis Country Club on
Friday night and a brunch at the Burke Hayes home on
Sunday morning, but I chose to forego both of these affairs.
I stayed in the home of my cousin Harriet Kleinsorge,
Turner who provided me with tremendous breakfasts, a
super bed and great family visiting. During the daylight
hours I enjoyed visiting the very beautiful, newly
redecorated Home Ec. lounge, driving about town, walking
about the campus and visiting with friends. Instead of going
to the game, as did Dean and Lois Hunt and family and Brad
Christensen, I strolled through the new, multilevel Cannery
on 9th Street with two special friends and chatted with
former neighbors.
My sorority, Kappa Kappa Gamma, was the most
represented group at the reunion, and we "girls" had such
good visits. Our two favorite houseboys, Ray Woodman and
Stan Mayfield, cheered us considerably.
The three foxy engineers who couldn't get jobs and who
decided to suDDort one another with the aid of one of their
professors and who called their now world-renowned
corporation CH2M were some of the ringleaders at the
evening bash. The co-masters of ceremony were old ironman
football greats Frank Ramsey and Elmer Kolberg. What
clowns! Co-songleaders, G-T publisher Bob Ingalls and
Corvallis attorney John Fenner, were also in a clownish
mood.
The most serious bit of the evening was the introduction
of President and Mrs. McVicar and President Mac's pep talk
about "our great university which is deservedly gaining a
fine reputation throughout the world."
When I got the Chev. loaded to leave town on Friday's
mid-morning, it contained me and Tip and our gear, our
friend Martha King and a few boxes of things that Martha
was taking to her Kennedy kin in Corvallis.
Martna is a tine traveler, although she is a non-driver she
lent me good moral support. When we lunched at Biggs on
Friday we watched traffic being turned away from the
Bend-Yakima bridge because a house trailer had been tipped
over near its center by the strong gorge wind. We got to
Corvallis just before dark.
Coming home on Sunday thank goodness we got an
early start we experienced some really sensational
weather. Heavy rain, then sleet and snow and pushing wind.
At Hood River where we stopped for lunch some cars were
getting chains installed. We were advised that if I drove
cautiously, and because I had brand-new snow tires installed
by Cal just before I left home, that I should be able to get to
Arlington without chaining up.
So we made it to Arlington where I talked with the state
police and with my brother-in-law Marion. Because I wanted
to get Tip out at the ranch, I chose to come south and east
knowing there would be snow drifts to plow through. We very
carefully plowed along between Shutler and McNabb using
low and second gear almost every foot of the way until we got
on our own road at McNabb elevator.
It was a relief to reach Martha's door on Linden Way and
then to continue on into my garage. I dutifully reported via
'phone to kindly, concerned family at Arlington, Portland
and Corvallis that Tip and I were safe at home. I shall long
remember this pre-Thanksgiving 1978 adventure as "What A
Weekend!"
