Linda and Terry Corbin, most recently from Beaverton, purchased the bowling alley August 1. For Terry, 49, moving to Heppner is coming home. He was bom to Bert and Genevieve Corbin tn a house by the old swimming pool in Heppner and was delivered by Dr. Tibbles. His grandparents were Mr. and Mrs. John Hanna, Sr., and his aunts and uncles include Jean and Don Bennett, Mildred Connor and Millie and Johnny Hanna. Terry left Heppner after graduating from high school in 1968. He returned in 1971-72 to accept a job as a sheriffs deputy for the Morrow County Sheriffs Office. He has worked for 14 years in canine detection with the Metro Explosive Unit while with the Port of Portland.

Linda, 50, has not only provided care for her young grandchildren, but has also been very politically active. She has been involved in getting Measure 58 placed on the ballot this fall. Measure 58, if passed, would give adult adoptees the right to access their birth certificates the same as non adoptees. Measure 58 is very personal for Linda, because she gave up a daughter for adoption 32 years ago. She was able to find her daughter, Erica Zwiefel, and they were reunited in 1991 The Corbins have two other daughters, Teresa Hintz, Beaverton, who has two children, Zach and Micha; and Tina Corbin, who has also moved to Heppner with her two children, Connor and Jessie. Tina will be involved working at the restaurant. The Corbins are glad to be back in Heppner. "We always knew we would come back when Terry retired," said Linda. "We have lots of friends living in the Heppner area. Of course, there's lots of new faces too." She said that they had wanted to own a business and things just fell into place when Terry’s cousin, Sandi Hanna, called them and said that the bowling alley was for sale.
