Betty Tanner, Heppner, had
always wanted to go to college,
but it wasn’t until a grand
daughter urged her that Betty, a
70-year old great-grandmother,
decided to enroll. “ It’s something
I always wanted to do. Jennifer
just kind of talked me into it.”
Betty, who will be majoring in
liberal studies through Oregon
State University, Corvallis, will
complete the first two years of
study through correspondence.
After that she will then study on
campus. Betty hopes to get a
bachelor’s degree. “ I’m going on
for my master’s, if I’m still
around,” she jokes.
Betty has already accomplish
ed quite a bit, since she received
her adult high school diploma in
1988 through instructor Gary
Warren.
Betty says that a scholarship
and loan are helping her achieve
her dream. “ I couldn’t do it
without that,” she said.
Anxious to get on with her
studies, Betty says that she has
already written two papers, one
on women’s studies and one on
economics.
Born in Iowa. Betty came to
Oregon in 1959. She has three
children, son Terry, who live in
Dallas, and daughters Sherry Ve-
jraska. Congress, Arizona and

Linda Hall wins FF A contest
Linda Hall, granddaughter of
Eugene and Harriet Hall of Hepp
ner, has been named as the state
winner of Pennsylvania FFA
record book contest. “ This in
itself is a newsworthy feat,” said
a press release from Penn State,
“ because there are nearly 8.000
FFA members in the Penn
sylvania Association.”
Linda, a senior at State College
Area High School, in State Col
lege, PA, also won the event in
1992. “ Couple this double win
with the fact that her older sister,
Jodi, also won the contest her
junior and senior years makes the
accomplishment extraordinary,”
continued the release. “ The four-
year record keeping sweep by the
Hall sisters is typical of their ag
gressive involvement in the com
petitive aspects of many of the
youth activities in which they
have chosen.” They have both
been extremely successful in
FFA, 4-H, athletics, and youth
pageantry, said the release.
The state FFA record book
contest, sponsored by the Farm
Credit System, is a combination
of four levels of competition star
ting with a local competition and
advancing through the final state
judging. The students’ record
books are scored on their com
pleteness and accuracy. Linda's
records included enterprise sec
tions for poinsettias, spring bed
ding plants, ag news service,
gardening, employment in land
scape maintenance, practicum at
the Pennsylvania Governor’s
School for the Agricultural
Sciences, and a research project
on light intensity.
Linda has not only followed her
sister in competition areas, but
she will also be attending the
Pennsylvania State University
next fall. Both are majoring in
agricultural education. Linda will
be seeking a dual major in
A $5 thousand reward had been
offered for information leading to
the return of the horse.
