Around About
By Justine eatherford
Sometimes it seems that youngsters are blamed for
making lots of trouble. It Is very pleasing to hear a young
Heppner boy being praised publicly. Last week senior
citizen, Hazel Hamlin, lost her wallet and was feeling lots of
distress. However, before long, Scoutmaster Gene Hall found
Hazel and returned the lost wallet, saying proudly that a Boy
Scout had found it in the middle of Main Street and brought it
to him. The good Scout had not even looked at the contents.
Hazel was so delighted and relieved. She wanted to thank
the boy but the scoutmaster said "He was just doing what
any good Boy Scout would do." Hazel hasn't even learned the
lad's name. She feels so happy about the experience and is
full of praise for "that fine boy."
I've been so afraid that the story of the historic Albert
Wright Family might get scrambled and it did, somehow,
last week. Nobody should ever believe that "Alonzo (oldest
son of Albert) married James Hager..." the gremlins
arranged that marriage. The lines should have read "Alonzo
married Eva Steward in 1909, and they had two daughters.
Jewel married James Hager, Heppner..."
Last week many families here helped entertain the eighth
grade students who visited Heppner and enjoyed several
exciting field trips and special events here while some of our
eighth graders were off in the Willamette Valley learning
about metropolitan living. This annual exchange program is
a great plan for giving two groups of youngsters really
interesting learning experiences.
In the last "Around About" in April, the names of some of
the musicians who used to play for dances with Roy
Quackenbush were mentioned. It seems quite a few persons
recall early musical pleasures in this area and have
contacted me and have asked for more information about
county musicians.
A nice note from Mrs. Alex Thompson (Jo Case), Portland,
said that Harold Becket could give more information. He had
quite an orchestra that played all around in the 1930s and
early '40s. Harold says that some folks who played with him
were Virginia Dix, Marjorie Parker, Bill Schwarz, Anson
Rugg, Bill Becket, Al Huit and the Misseldine girls.
Also, it seems that former teacher Rachel Dick (Mrs. L.E.)
used to play for dances, often at Hardman, her husband, Ed,
told me.
While the downtown fire was smoldering on Wednesday
morning. May 4, "Bud" (Charles) Lundell telephoned me
from Fremont, Calif, to say he enjoyed reading the column
that mentioned the Quackenbush group, and that he also had
a band in this county which played for many dances. Since he
left Oregon he had a longtime, successful dance band in
California. He was shocked to hear about the fire here. I
asked him to write to me about the folks who played wit his
group, but so far I haven't heard from him again.
"Bud" Lundell 's musically-talented niece, Karen (Mrs.
Fran) Stack, who will be leaving here soon for Montana,
reports that many Lundells have been musicians. She
mentioned August, a horn player, who lived at Weston.
Her grandfather, Algott, a natural musician, played the
piano, and when electricity reacjed lone-Gooseberry area, he
got an electric organ which he enjoyed. Karen now has that
organ. Bud and Raymond and Wally were Algott 's sons, and
they all loved music. Bud made it his career; Raymond,
Karen's father, always enjoyed music; Wally, the youngest
boy, played the piano and organ and was an organist at the
Grotto, the Shrine of Our Sorrowful Mother, in Portland.
Interviewing Heppner's new Yard of the Month winner,
Emma Drake, was such a treat. I got to her borne just as she
was taking lots of goodies out of her oven which she had
baked for the church sale the next day. I had read that three
different generations were baking for that scie, and Emma,
who will be 90 in about four months, might have been the
oldest, most experienced of all the bakers. Hr kitchen surely
often smells so wonderful from her good cooking and baking.
We went walking and looking about in her big yard, which
smelled good, too, but where the lovely lilacs are about gone
and have been browned by the rain. So much rain and cold
t as bothered Emma's arthritis, and she says it is hard for
her to do the weeding she wants to do, and has done for many
years. She has many blooming things planted in her yard
with some of them even spilling out across the front sidewalk
into the street-edge parking strip.
Don't forget to treat yourself and your family to a special
night in lone this Friday, May 20. At 8 p.m. the documentary
drama "Prodigal Daughters" should be very good. The two
artists, Jane Von Boskirk and Mark Nelson, are very
talented. Their performance promises to be a most special
event at the lone High School. See you there.
