Trip to Heppner brings
many 'firsts' to AFS
student Camilo Nunez

Camilo Nunez
Camilo Enrique Nunez has only been in Morrow County one
week, but he has already been through his first wheat
harvest, seen his first deer, his first "mucky" lake water
(water in his homeland is clear enough to see through) and
has decided that he is definitely not homesick for his native
country. The Dominican Republic.
Camilo, 17, arrived last week in Heppner as an American
Field Service exchange student - after two hours on the plane
from his homeland to Miami, two hours from Miami to New
York, six hours from New York to San Francisco, and a
grueling 21 hours on the bus from San Francisco to Portland,
not to mention a bus trip from Portland to Boardman and a
car ride to Heppner.
Camilo and his family, mother, Lourdes, father, Camilo,
and sisters, Christianne, 15. Carmen. 14, and Carolina. 10,
live in Santo Domingo, where the temperatures seldom stray
below 60 degrees. "I will die in the winter," laughed Camilo,
when faced with the possibility of a long cold winter in
Eastern Oregon.
Camilo," who will be a senior at Heppner High School this
year, is adapting to his adoptive family, Karen and Dale '
Holland, and children, Doug, who will also be a senior at
HHS, Diane, 21, and Dale, 19, who are home for the summer.
"We get hung up on a few words," commented Diane, "but
eventually get it mastered." Camilo has studied English for
four years.
Camilo, who will be in the U.S. around a year, has quite a
few activities planned for him during the coming weeks. The
AFS chapter has scheduled a trip to the Pendleton Roundup
and Happy Canyon Indian Pageant Sept. 18 and 19. The trip
will wind up in Grass Valley on Sept. 20.
lone physicals scheduled
All lone Junior High and
High School students who plan
to participate in any sport
during the coming year and
who are either coming out for
sports for the first time or
entering the 9th grade or Uth
grade must have a physical
before starting the sport,
according to the coach.
