David and April Hilton Sykes, Publishers LETTERS" Appreciate help To the editor: I would like to take the opportunity to let you know about several citizens of your community there in Heppner. On Saturday, July 23, my wife and I developed truck problems right outside of Heppner. We were on our way to get wood and were pulling a large trailer. I began walking to town and someone picked me up and drove me there to try to get help. Jim Lankford offered his help as I got into town and drove me back to where the truck was located. Next, he pulled me (truck and trailer) back into Heppner. Right as we got into town at a service station lot, the rear axle broke and the tires came off. So, the situation got worse for us; stranded there with no possible transportation. Jim got help from Steve Lankford and from Mrs. Fortenberry and son Jeff. They began what was an all-day project to try to load the truck onto the trailer to bring us back to Richland,' Washington. To make a long story short - Obituaries Frank Martin Lundell.

OWNED editor after many hours of hard work - and a long drive back to Richland, we finally made it home. Our thanks go to Jim and Steve Lankford for many hours of work and driving time, Jeff Fortenberry and his mother, who provided the wrecker used to load the truck onto the trailer, and all the efforts that that took. To Jim and Steve for towing us back into Richland. To Jim parents, who at the time were having a yard sale, but took time to help find parts, and for the loan of their truck to pull the trailer. And to all the others who stopped by that day to see if we needed help. If ever we were in a desper ate situation and needed help it was on Saturday. We really appreciate all the help given to us that day. If ever there is a doubt about citizens in Hep pner giving help - refer them to us - we will be glad to sing their praises. George W.
