Irene said that Salem is more than twice as large now than it was during her girlhood there. She had been visiting many members of her own family and had agreed to ride back to Heppner with us. Sunday morning (about 2 a.m. as we three came south from lone), we came upon a very recent accident at the corner of Mollahan's Ranch and Bunker Hill Road. We all feared that possibly some young people coming from the rodeo dance might be involved as unfortunately proved true. Rev. Tollefson insisted on staying at the accident scene to be helpful with his Heppner-acquired Emergency Medical Technology training while Irene and I came on to our homes. He admitted during his final worship service Sunday morning that he didn't get to bed until 5 a.m. and then was up again in just a few hours and into a very busy day. Because this must be turned in before the completion of the voting on the county and hospital budgets, I cannot comment on the results which I am anxiously awaiting.
