SIX The llrppner GaieUe-Tlmes, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday, May 15, 1980 VVllli.lu!.liii'Utltn'if.M.I - Last week was a beautiful and exciting time to go visiting west of the Cascades. Helen Currin and I left Heppner rather early on Tuesday and were back here before 5 p.m. on Friday. Our trip down the Columbia, under skies of blue, was very pretty. We could see Mt. Adams and Mt. Hood, but not the quaking St. Helens which had a cloud mantle. The number of river barges moving west and east, all seemingly well loaded, caught our attention. One going west was stacked high with big logs which we conjectured might have been cut in Morrow's mountains. During the noon hour we got the car parked up at the hill-top University Medical School and joined students in the public dining hall for lunch. The campus landscape was lovely. Helen remarked that Portland was looking as full of beautiful blooms as the advertisements for Hawaii. After our city appointments, we headed south to Eugene where we were guests of Helen's brother, Lonnie Knotts, and his artist wife. Therese. It was a surprise to discover that Robb and Gayle Rush and their daughters, Leah and Tracy, are very near neighbors of the Knotts. I telephoned Gayle, and she and Tracy bobbed over to visit about Heppner with us. Tracy is so pleased that the eighth graders here have invited her up for the big graduation dinner and dance this weekend. Gayle said Leah is doing exciting things at North Eugene High where the students are putting on "The Sound of Music." Leah is the technical director for this current production. She is continuing the Spanish she began under Gordon Munck at Heppner High and is greatly enjoying studying French, also. Gayle said how pleased she and Robb are to have Ron and Ginger Bowman near them Ron is working with Robb at the Les Schwab Tire Center along River Road in the Santa Clara neighborhood. She mentioned that Jackie Jensen had visited with them on his way to Medford to take over the management of the Elks Club there. Gayle is now working in the advertising department of the Emporium. I had a nice "phone visit with Ruby Fulleton Shearer, who was at work at the family florist shop. She said how much she and Tom had enjoyed having Inez Erwin visit them and how pleased she is to have Heppner friends call. Tuesday night, the Knotts and Uncouple with whom they have traveled about the world took us to dinner at Gulliver's Gallery. Everything was super until the young university student, who was serving us, let a big plate of salad, resplendent with Thousand Island dressing, slip into Mrs. Knotts's lap. However, after a careful mopup job and profuse apologies, the dinner party continued pleasantly. Wednesday, we breakfasted and visited until after 10 a.m. then drove south to little, old Canyonville where we stopped for lunch. This town seems much smaller than Heppner, but it has a nice bakery and several antique stores among its usual Main Street businesses. We were directed to a new, small restaurant Avhich offered rather unusual fare. We chose turkey and avocado and sprout sandwiches on homemade bread. They were delicious (Helen's had cheese, mine had mayonnaise. We by passed Roseburg and Grants Pass and were at the home of my son. Attorney Bill Haberlach in Medford by 3:30. After our good visit with grandchildren, Adam and Anna, they were assigned to a baby-sitter, and their parents took us over to Ashland for dinner and the performance of Jean Anouilh's "Ring Round the Moon" in the splendid Angus Bowmer Theater. The brilliant French play combining fantasy and darkness is set under the crystal chandeliers of a ballroom and the frosted glass of a winter garden; but beneath the shimmering party masks is revealed a bitter conflict between the world of power and money and the world of poverty and purity. We viewers from Heppner were especially fascinated by the elaborate setting and by the very high-style costumes of the wealthy Parisians of just before World War I. The audience was predominately young adults, with perhaps one-fourth teenagers - and one-fourth senior citizens. On Thursday, we visiting grandmas took a good one-mile walk before breakfast. Because Anna has a July birthday, her pre-school class honored her with a "pretend" birthday party that morning. Her mother. Bette, Helen and I were special guests. Anna acted as hostess, carefully arranging the tables with Kermit The Frog napkins and colorful paper treat cups full of assorted fresh fruit pieces. After lunch, Helen and I and Adam drove out to the Bear Creek. Harry and David, Jackson and Perkins complex. We took a good look around and bought some plants and fresh fruit. We also spent an equal amount of time across the highway in the large, new Grange Co-op. As we drove about we were so thrilled by the blooming shrubs and trees in the area yards. By 5:30 p.m. Helen and I were seated in the large municipal courtroom in the Medford Civic Center. Soon the court clerk's gavel called the capacity audience to rise as Judge Haberlach entered. We listened to the hearings for about one hour. The next morning, we started homeward by 7 a.m. intending to have breakfast at Becky's Cafe at Union Creek. Before we reached Becky's we got into a mushy, spring snowstorm which lasted until we were almost to Highway 97. The stone-ringed planter in front of the closed cafe contained many lovely tulips in full bud but well topped with snow. . We lunched early at Bend and stopped briefly at Prineville. After the long Prineville-Mitchell-Spray drive we were happy to get in to the Spray Cafe where friendly Pat Adams greeted us. We enjoyed visiting with Pat about her daughter Barbara who teaches third grade at lone. Pat is very well informed about Heppner matters as she reads this paper every week. Refreshed by our dishes of ice cream and cold drinks, we two came over the mountain and dowp into Heppner just in time for that good Friday afternoon shower.
