In spite of lengthening days and changing seasons many
weeks seem much alike: however, for me. last week was
very different. Not only did I spend 2"j days in Portland,
where I enjoyed a great musical treat, saw two top films, and
had pleasing visits with family and friends not often seen, but
after returning to Heppner I enjoyed some more fine visiting
as well hearing a good book review and more musical treats.
To top off the week, we had a sparkling, clean snowfall.
Ola Mae Groshens and I had a fine drive down the
Columbia River on Sunday morning. Jan. 20. noting great ice
cascades along the north-facing cliffs below Hood River and
the huge piles of dirty, collected snow remaining at Cascade
Locks. We both remarked at the dearth of traffic on 80-N. We
were surprised to see so many U-Haul. move-yourself trucks.
We two were delighted to spend "Super Bowl Sunday"
afternoon in the Portland Auditorium along with thousands of
others attending the super bowl of music by the Oregon
Symphony Orchestra. Norman Leyden conducted so ably,
and Marie Rogndahl Peake, my lovely, talented
sister-in-law. was the guest soloist. The program featured a
delightful variety, including three Edvard Grieg composi
tions, one of which the "Norwegian nightingale" sang in her
superb coloratura soprano. She .also sang two Johann
Strauss. Jr. numbers and the beautiful Franz Lehar "Ich Bin
Verliebt."
After the concert we made our way to the Baghdad
Theater to view "Kramer vs Kramer", a new film which will
be considered for many awards. I was particularly pleased
with the performance of young Justin Henry, the little boy
who is centrala to the plot. Ola Mae. who habitually watches
many hours of television and rarely gets to a movie theater,
was delighted that there were no commercial interruptions.
On Monday, after delivering Ola Mae to the airport for
her flight to San Diego where she is visiting with her Navy
son. Grant Carter, and family. I took care of some business
affairs. At noon I lunched in the Terwilliger Plaza with some
dear retired friends. I tried to visit with Hortense Martin, but
didn't find her at home. My friends, one of whom was my
teacher at U.S. Grant High School fifty years ago, told me
that Hortense is so busy, is active on so many committees, is
helpful to many Plaza residents.
My afternoon was spent at the University of Oregon
Health Sciences Center, where I am periodically a patient in
the otolarngology department and. on this trip in oncology.
As I drove to and from the teaching hospital, across the city
from my brother's home. I was astonished at the mass of
broken trees which city workers were still clearing away
after the recent silver thaw.
Because I have always enjoyed good cinema. I took
myself to see "Going in Style" that evening. My comparison
nf this film with the one I viewed the previous night might not
be in agreement with professional reviewers; however, I
really enjoyed the second movie more than I had the first.
Both are set mainly in New York City: both deal with
sociological problems. "Kramer vs Kramer" pictures the
agony of divorce and a child custody struggle, while "Going
in SI vie" shows the boredom of retirement and the frugal life
of elderly men dependent on meager social security incomes.
Both leads. Dustin Hoffman and George Burns, are excellent,
but I was more delighted by Lee Strassburg and Art
Carney, who carried their parts so superbly that I would vote
for them in the strong supporting roles as most worthy of
academv honors.
Do you know that senior citizens now pay only $1.50
admission to any first-class cinema in Portland? When I
decided lo splurge on some popcorn. I found that the smallest
available paper cupful costs 85 cents.
On Tuesday, after a morning checkup in oncology. I
gathered some boxes of freight and began my drive home
alone against strong gorge winds, arriving back in Heppner
jusl in lime to enjoy a Senior Citizen dinner.
That evening the Bookworms gathered at the Cornett
Green home. It was so pleasing to have Sadie Parrish and
Rachel Dick attend for the first time in years and to have
Pauline Hughes return after months of absence. Lorena
Jones presented a good review of Howard Fast's "The
Establishment", the third-in-a-series novel set in San
Francisco.
Wednesday morning I got back to my usual chores, then
at nonn I attended the ecumenical service for the Week of
Prayer for Christian Unity at Heppner's Christian Church.
Almost all of the south-county ministers parlicipaled in the
program arranged by the Rev. Cathy Barker. lone, who
along with the host pastor, the Rev. Edwin W. Sikes spoke
words of welcome. Organ music by Dorene Reed and special
music, a vocal and guitar duet by Miss Barker and the Rev.
Sheridan greatly enhanced the well-arranged and skillfully
presented cooperative service.
On Thursday my pace slowed. There was a good Bible
study in the morning and a helpful visit in the home of Faye
Pierce. R.N.. that afternoon.
Friday. I was glad to have a quiet day by my own fireside
lo lake care of some needed letter writing. Saturday, my
week ended with attendance at the concert by the young
troubador. Jerry Gobel. in St. Patrick's Parish Hall. A
remarkable singer-guitarist. Gobel composes his own music
and writes the lyrics he delivers so sincerely. He recounts
inspirational experiences he has had in his six years of
performing in many places before audiences numbering up
to about seven thousand and down to just a few. His program
was well received by the cordial folks of the parish and their
visiting guests.
Now I've begun a usual week with my usual attendance
at an uplifting church service, where the music-makers
Carley Drake. Judy Paine, Shirley Connor. Karen Howe and
Arnie Hedman and the choir members at the United
Methodist Church were especially honored during the
morning service and the after-worship coffee hour.
After a noon meal with congenial friends I had a brief,
interesting chat with three lively, tall, young sheepshearers
from New Zealand I chanced to meet in the Heppner
Laundromat.
This week will include attending the Heppner High
School mystery play. "The Night Is My Enemy", some
visiting with returning traveler Inez Erwin. probably several
good meals with other senior citizens, and already plotted
and perhaps some unplotted activities.
And so in spite of the rumblings of financial, social and
political calamities about the globe life seems pretty good
for me in Heppner in Oregon.
