■< •■ TWO - Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, July 1, 1992 German man finds familiar name in Heppner It’s a long way from home, but Harald Heppner came all the way from Germany to see the small town in Oregon that carries his name. Ever since he was 14 and discovered Heppner while study ing the United States in geography, Harald has wanted to visit here. “ I was fourteen years old and had a geography class. We were studying the United States and I was a little bored,” Harald told the Gazette last week. He says he looked down a list of US cities and found Heppner. In 1977 he wrote a letter to the mayor and received some information about our town. “ Ever since, I said ‘I must visit this town.’” Working for the German airline Lufthansa helped his trek considerably since the airline flew into Seattle, and he only had to rent a car and drive here. Researching the origins of Henry Heppner, for whom the town is named, Harald said he has traced Henry’s ancestery to an area of Europe called East Prussia, now between Russia and Poland. Is he related to the founder of Heppner, Oregon? “ I don’t think Around $6,000 in truck tires were stolen in broad daylight from the Morrow County Grain Growers in Lexington on June 29. Twenty tires were stolen. MCGG manager Larry Mills said that they believe a man in a Rider truck is responsible for the burglary. According to Mills, a man came to MCGG and asked to look at truck tires. He was taken to the warehouse, which is located near Harald Heppner so,” said Harald, “ but I don't know for sure.” Harald, who is 29, grew up in the town of Langenberg with a population of about 7,000, located in what was formerly West Germany. While visiting Heppner Harald visited the museum, the dam, and just spent some time walking in the little town in Oregon he has always wanted to see. Vested Residual Income Without Continuous Sales!
