Herb Wright o f Fossil, as
administrator o f his late sister's
will, has presented thousands of
dollars to local organizations.
Wright presided over a
meeting held at Haven House in
Fossil May 16 to administer the
estate o f his sister, Carolyn
Elizabeth
"Bess"
Wright
Johnson.
Mrs. Johnson had left a
$ 156,000
annuity.
Wright
presented a check for $100,000
o f the annuity to Wheeler High
School for scholarships; $30,000
to Asher Clinic for their
perpetual fund; and an additional
$30 ,0 0 0 for Haven House to be
used in paying off outstanding
bills.
Wright kicked in $ 4,000 o f his
own money so that Haven House
would have an amount equal to
that o f Asher Clinic. He added
that Fossil and Wheeler County
have been very good to him over
the years and by donating the
proceeds o f his sister's annuity,
he can express his appreciation.
Wright said that no one had
realized that his sister had an
annuity.
Wright will also present a
check for $4 4 0 ,5 3 4 .2 0 , specified
in Mrs. Johnson's will to go to
D oem becher's
Children's
Hospital to be used directly for
treatment o f children.
Interest accrued from the
school district donation will be
used
for
"two
or
three"
scholarships each
year.
A
commission o f five people,
including the school principal,
will determine the recipient of
the scholarships.
Wright said that his sister and
her husband lived a quiet, frugal
life, "saved their money and
didn’t take trips or anything".
She lived at the family home
in
Fossil
before
marrying
Mr.Johnson, who was a lumber
market manager. Mr. Johnson
died 10 years ago and Mrs.
Johnson passed away a year ago.
Herb Wright has lived all of his
life in Fossil except for one year
in Heppner. He opened a
Richfield Station in Heppner in
1941. Unfortunately World War
II broke out a year later and he
wasn't able to get gasoline or
tires and so returned to Fossil
where he opened a car dealership
He has owned Wnght Chevrolet
in Fossil for 37 years. He has
been a member o f the Columbia
Basin Electric Co-op Board o f
Directors for the last 22 years.
