acres of perennial grass cover
(crested wheatgrass) on problem
areas.

The Grieb philosophy is to
utilize maximum resources for
water conservation, maintain a
productive unit, protect the soil
from wind erosion, and to
manage the land for future
generations using minimum
tillage and good farming manage
ment. This philosophy and farm
ing history resulted in the Griebs
being selected as 1993 Morrow

ner and visiting. Present were
Don Bristow, Peggy Hubbard
Connor, Stanfield; Wilda Dalzell
and Clyde Crawford, Eugene;
Jim and Fay Morgan, Shelton,
WA.; Darlene Maddem, class of
‘54 and Don Eaves, Portland.
Sunday morning Don Bristow
hosted a brunch at his home.
Joining the party were Donnna
McCoy Corson, Kennewick,
WA.; Herb Ekstrom and Skip
Connor. The only classmate
unable to attend were Ed Sanders,
Hillsboro and Mike Reninger,
Washington, D.C.
After looking at pictures and
albums, everyone except Herb,
was chauffered by the Crawfords
in the motorhome to see where
Peggy and Wilda used to live. It
was unanimously decided that
since Rudy and Jackie Bergstrom
were unable to come because of
their daughters graduation, they
would go and see them.
On the return to lone, class
members visited the old school
building, noting the many
changes and recalling many
historical events as they entered
each room.
Then they informed Herb that
they were returning to Beechers
and raced him. Herb won.
Because of the rain there was a
rush back to Don’s to close car
windows.
After goodbyes, members
decided they needed to reunite
more often than five years,
“especially since Don’s prophecy
was that we should be choosing
our grave sites and caskets due to
the advanced age of all present.”
Members agreed that Don also
had gained a talent that would
outdo Donahue, Oprah and
Geraldo in asking embarrassing
questions.
