He was born in 1895 on a homestead farm on the ridge above Rock Creek near Olex, which adjoined the homestead of his grandpar ents. BT. and Margaret Snell. The family moved into Arling ton in 1903 where Earl started school. Earl's father, William Snell, died when he was 16, leaving his widow Mattie, four daugh ters and Earl.

Heppner, Oregon, Thursday, son, Aaron been the manager and partner in a restaurant, has worked at selling insurance and was the manager of a construction company in the Tri-Cities dur ing 1978 and 1979. His American family; his wife Joan and their three sons, are of greatest importance to him. His boys are Tim, 13; Mark 11 ; and Aaron, nine, w ho is presently sharing the exper ience of summer life in Hep pner with his father. Chinda vat's Thai family is well known as his father, Pum, now 82 and living in Bangkok, is an author with many poetry books to his credit. The Chindavat family mem bers are Buddhists and the father is a monk. Sinan is the youngest of the family's eleven offspring; he has four brothers and six sisters. One becoming speaker of the house in 1933. Then Snell was elected sec retary of state and served two four-year terms before his election as governor. The state has had 32 governors. The first 22 of these were not born in Oregon. However, its 23rd governor (1943 - 1947), Earl Snell, was born in Ore gon. Snell was re-elected to serve a second term as governor before his death. An expert shot, he was flying off for a weekend goose hunt with Mar shall Cornett. president of the senate and Robert Farrell, Jr., secretary of state, when their plane crashed suddenly killing the top three elected officials of the state govern ment. Snell's widow, Edith, died in 1973. Their son, Wil liam Snell, is a physician in Portland. Arlington people have long loved Governor Snell and felt much pride in his success. In honoring Earl Snell they are also honoring a musician. Earl Snell loved music and taught himself to play several instruments. He organized a town band which played at civic functions in Gilliam County and in neighboring localities. Snell even gave hours to teaching the kids of Arlington to play various in struments, working with them upstairs in the firehouse which was next door to the garage where he worked. Therefore it is fitting that the city park and especial) June 4, 1982 of his brothers, who holds a masters degree, is working with highway building in Thai land; another brother is working in engineering and construction in the Phillip pines. Chindavat is very close to achieving his oVgree in civil engineering through Walla Walla College. When he came to the U.S. he first enrolled in Walla Walla Community Col lege. His wife is a Walla Walla native. He is hopeful that next year he will be able to take his immediate family to visit Thailand and to meet his extended family there. A man with many interests, Chindavat is reaching out to know persons of various ethnic origins. He has traveled around the world one and one-half times and looks for ward to much more traveling. Since his arrival in the U.S. he has been a very busy man, working constantly to make a living for himself and his family. He is a father who values the time he can spend with his sons, and intends to continue to share time with them whenever he is able. Sinan Chindavat is a pleas ant, ambitious fellow who is concerned about "wanting to do so many things" and won dering if he can find time to learn and achieve all he has mentally and psychologically programmed himself to get done. He has now worked in Hep pner about five weeks and has driven around the area and has found many attractions here. He expects to leave his work and his friends here about the end of August. Many weekends he goes to Walla Walla. This week, Tim and Mark will come to visit here with their father and Aaron. the new gazebo, a bandstand. should be dedicated in his honor and than an annual June, central-eastern Oregon band festival should be started in his memory. - Arlington invited everyone to come join in festivities there on Saturday, June 26.
