the counties where it
belongs." Regional directors

counties in the state. Each of
the associate directors will
work with some counties in
both Western and Eastern
Oregon.

already visited most of his
counties, getting better ac

fices and farmers. Taking a
few minutes to tell of Kerr
family life, he explained that
his wife Carol, who was sitting
beside him. is still living in
The Dalles where they own a
home and she is employed;
their daughter Cindy is a
student of political science at
Portland State University but

as a page in the state senate;
son Brian is a trainee with the
Pendleton Grain Growers in
