To the editor: Two men who ardently fought against the Willow Creek Dam Project have now led a movement to have the dam at Heppner's edge offi cially named by the project name, which we all know could indicate a dam on any one of the great number of Willow Creeks in any of many places in most of our states, including Alaska. We. along with others, wanted the dam and-or lake named in honor of one of the most sincere workers for the project, former Judge Oscar Peterson, who lived his entire lifetime in this county, who worked diligently for benefi cial projects, who was a genu ine historian and conserva tionist. Oscar gave much time and energy working for this dam ; his final civic effort was to attend a water conservation meeting. We don't know of a Colum Obituaries Marvin L. Boyd ZAMBOANGA CITY, PHI LIPPINE ISLANDS - Marvin L. Boyd, 69 a former Heppner resident, died recently. His family received word of his death on June 25, 1982. Mr. Boyd was born January 5, 1913 in Heppner, to Frank and Lucy Ashbough Glass cock. He attended elementary school at Lexington, and later the family moved to LaGrande where he comple ted his education. He worked for the Oregon State Highway Department at LaGrande for many years. In the 1940s he worked for the Morrison Knutson Co. on Johnston Is land and then for the Ameri can & Arabia Oil Co. in Arabia. He married Erma Scott in Portland in 1953. They moved from Portland to Heppner in the late 1950's where he was employed as a mechanic for Hager's Dairy and Parley Motor Co. Mr. Boyd lived at Zambo anga City after retiring from Alaska Barge and Transport, Inc., where he had been em ployed from 1966 to 1968 in Vietnam. He was a life member of both the Elks and Masonic lodges at LaGrande. He was active in both lodges in Zam boanga City at the time of his death. His father, Frank Glass cock and brother, Harold Glasscock, preceeded him in death. Mr. Boyd is survived by his mother, Lucy Glasscock, Por tland; an aunt, Golda Ash baugh Eubanks, Pendleton; an uncle, Clair Dutch Ash baugh, Portland; two ne phews, Leland Glasscock, Weston, Greg Glasscock, Lake Oswego; a niece Lynn Lahr man, Seattle, Wash.; cousins Peck Leathers, Lowell Ash baugh, Garnet Ashbaugh, Mrs. Boyd Lois Redding and Neal Knighten. Interment was at the Ma sonic Cemetery, Zamboanga City. Friends wishing to contact Mr. Boyd's family may write to his mother, Mrs. Lucy Glasscock, 5416 N. Michigan, Portland, Oregon 97217. bia Dam, a Willamette Dam or a Santiam Dam more specific names were selected such as McNary, Bonneville, The Dalles, Oregon City. De troit and Green Peter. We feel that the project here should memorialize Oscar Peterson's life-long work. We know that Heppner Dam is more dis tinctive than Willow Creek Dam and would better indi cate its location. There was only one Oscar Peterson, there is only one city named after Henry Hep pner, but there are many, many Willow Creeks. If the names Heppner Dam and Peterson Lake were selected, they would indicate a distinc tive location and would memorialize a worthy citizen, both deserving to be put on maps.
