Currin housewarming enjoyed by many By JUSTINE WEATHERFORD Last Saturday night, Aug. 15, a great housewarming barbecue was held on the Currin Ranch where about five hundred family members, neighbors and friends from many places came to cheer Tom and Marlene, the newly wed homemakers. As folks looked down on the cene from the Butter Creek Road, the large parking area full of vehicles, the lights blazing in the several homes and other buildings and the mass of people milling about looked like a county fair or maybe a huge auction sale was in progress. A full moon shone down on the gala affair, helping to brighten the festiv ities. Everyone enjoyed visiting and many strolled through the new spacious home that the Tom Currins have erected and are now occupying. Ron Currin introduced the even ing's master of ceremonies, family friend, Jack Madison, from Tillamook, who has hunted from the Currin Ranch for many years.
