Over 250 were in attendance
for the 50th wedding anniver
sary of Kenneth and Betty
McKenzie of Cresent, OR., on
July 29 at the Bend Elks Lodge.
The party was hosted by their
children, Jack and Cherri
McKenzie of McLean, VA.
Friends and relatives in atten
dance at the party donated to
a money tree for an Alaskan
cruise ior the McKenzies.
Ken McKenzie was a Hepp
ner grade school physical edu
cation teacher from 1936 to
1940. Former Heppner stu
dents attending were Jim Ken
ny, Jim Barratt, Ken Hoyt and
Bob Runnion and their
spouses. "Ken not only was a
teacher but was and is a long
time friend, who inspired me in
the field of athletics," said Bar
ratt, who rose to the office of
director of athletics at Oregon
State University through the
years of 1965-1976, encouraged
by his "oT coach".
Betty Kaseburg was a WWII
limousine driver in England
when she first met Ken. She
was a member of the promi
nent Wasco wheat family and
her husband had been killed
earlier. '
After marrying, they moved
from Stayton, OR. and settled
in Cresent, where they operat
ed a sporting goods store prior
to their retirement.

Are you an employer, an
employee, a customer, or all
three? If you are or at some
time have been all three, then
you are very such aware of the
challenges of running a busi
ness, and dealing with people
from both sides of the counter.
All three are a challenge.
The Morrow County Tourism
Committee and the Heppner
Chamber of Commerce jointly
conducted two seminars: one
for employers and one for
employees dealing with cus
tomer satisfaction.
Good communication and
ideas were shared by all par
ticipants. The employers were
asked to share suggestions for
their employees and the em
ployees to offer suggestions for
their employers. As a conclu
sion, they were also asked to
share some of the things they
would like for customers to be
aware of: "Please go directly to
them with complaints; let them
know when you are satisfied as
well as dissatisfied; forgive
them their mistakes; they like
people; they are there to serve
you and try to meet your
needs; they will try to do the
best they can with what they
have to work with in the
amount of time they have; be
patient as sometimes they are
short handed; smile, and keep
your sense of humor."
Basically, in a rural area
where everyone knows each
other so well, it is easy to take
our problems everywhere we
go and forget our profes
sionalism. If, however, we just
remember to treat each other as
we wish to be treated, smile,
communicate, and correct our
mistakes, our communities will
continue to be the best they can
be with a quality of life rare to
cities.
The Chamber hopes to offer
additional seminars, it is more
fdn to communicate with
human beings than computers.
Thought for the week: "Any
one who thinks the customer
(or the owner or the employee)
teri’t important in our small
towns should try doing without
him for 90 days".
