David and April HUton Sykes, Poblithen Letters to Our fair share To the Editor: I would like to speak out in behalf of all western Umatilla County and Morrow County residents concerning Blue Mountain Community Col lege's proposed new admins tration building. In my opinion, this structure should be built in Hermiston, I'm tired of being treated as a poor relative that receives crumbs for tax monies paid toward the college. More classes could be moved to Hermiston permanently to serve them and Morrow County, leaving room at Pendleton for the needed expanding administration services. We, as individuals, are all practicing conservation out of necessity and I think it's about time public bodies joined in. The savings in gas alone to Morrow County, Echo, Herm iston. Stanfield, McNary and Umatilla residents would be considerable. I feel we can no longer tolerate the selfishness of the board's present plans and must demand our fair share. The financial boost to the economy . of the Hermiston businesses, that regular day students would generate, Obituaries Henry Allison Graves PRAIRIE CITY, ORE. - Henry Allison "Hank" Graves, former Morrow County resident, died Feb. 7, 1981, at Prairie City at the age of 77. Mr. Graves was born Jan. 4, 1904 'at Hayden, Indiana, to Ward and True Graves. When he was eight years old, he traveled with his parents in a four -day trip across the plains by railroad to Gooding, Idaho, where his uncle lived. The Graves family made their home at Gooding, where his father began farming and raising fruit. Mr. Graves later moved to Oregon where he was engaged in farm work. While driving a combine in the wheat fields near Condon, he met Lola Montague, who was cooking for the threshing crew. They were married June 23, 1928, at Eightmile. The Graves had eight children, six girls and two boys. Besides working in the wheat fields, Mr. Graves did general farming, milked cows, and, at Boardman, raised melons for a few years. For 23 '2 years the Graves family lived in Sparta, Ore gon, where he farmed and worked in the woods. While in Sparta, he bought what had once been called the "Stage Stop, Hotel and Store," which he sold in 1964. After leaving Sparta, he worked for the Forest Service at Bates, Oregon, and then for the U.S. Geological Survey at Bend. After retirement he ran a paper route at Redmond and at Prairie City, where he also woked on the landfill. - Mr. Graves was a charter member of the Sparta Grange, a member of the Boardman Grange and then a member of the Old Tumalo Grange, which consolidated with the Pine Forest Grange. He spent 50 years as a grange member. He was a lover of the outdoors and hunting and fishing were his best-loved sports. the Editor should prompt immediate action hv every businessman. Yours truly, Pat Wright Missed a great story First, let me compliment you on the excellent picture of the lone bank opening on page three of your Feb. 5th issue. Cannot understand why the individuals were not identi fied. Especially, the gentle man in the forefront in the checkered sports coat. I am sure they have nothing to hide and would love this publicity. I think, toe, you missed a great human interest love story in the page one announcement that Pat Camp bell is leaving for Ireland on Feb. 27th where he will be married. Its still not too late to get together with Pat and edit this feature article. Here's the drama of an Irish-American returning to the land of his grandparent's birth in 1978, meeting and wooing an Irish girl from Newry, some 6000 miles away, and now the culmination, wedding bells. Incidentally, his father, John Campbell of Condon, is my cousin. William J.
