LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

I am writing to tell the
people of H eppner I think they
, have one of the friendliest
towns I have ever visited. My
family and I were only in
Heppner for a few days (we
stayed with the David and
April Sykes family), but
memories of the visit will last
, a long time.
I was lucky to be in Heppner
during a visit by Rep. Al
Ullman. In a question and
answer period after Ullman's
speech on the courthouse
lawn, I had the opportunity to
learn a little about how
Heppner people feel about a
variety of issues. Among other
things, I found them to be
fiercely independent, conser
vative in a common-sense
way, outspoken and hard-working,
qualities other parts of
the state and nation could use
a good dose of.
I also found the wheat
growing area around Heppner
breathtakingly beautiful. The
scenery brought to life the
song phrase"amber waves or
grain" I have sung and heard

hardest working people in the
world, so I was very glad to
learn it's a bumper crop year
for wheat.
I promised April Sykes that
if I wrote a letter to the editor,
I would tell it like it is. so I
must say (maybe I'll Just
whisper it) that I found
Heppner to be less than a bed
of roses. There were a few
thorns.
You have the most persis
tent flies in the world, and
some of them even bite! The
bees sting, but maybe they
only sting outsiders like me.
There were not enough trees
for my taste and the ocean is
too far away. And it was hot.
but I expected that.
Overall I think Heppner is a
pleasant place and I'm sure its
residents wouldn't trade it for
anyplace. And I don't blame
them. I hope to visit again
soon and stay longer.
Sincerely,
John Clay
