Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, October 16, 2002 - THREE Local family creates model of the Courthouse Mustang defense shuts out Tigerscots Varsi,y l adv Cards claim victory against Falcons By Rick Paullus Norman DeBoer shows model of the morrow county courthouse he created Combining ideas and the skills of each family member, Norman DeBoer and his family created a model of the Morrow County Courthouse. The model was built from numerous pictures, a special visit to the Courthouse to get intricate details of the building, and inside the mind of a carpenter. DeBoer would build the project in his mind at night and bring it into reality during the day, along with any suggestions from his wife or family. Being skilled in wood, when it came to siding for the Courthouse he enlisted the help of his daughters, Cheryl and Suella. Cheryl used a plaster technique to create the siding and Suella and her family created all the windows. D eBoer lives in Boardman with his wife of 58 years, Marie. The couple moved to Boardm an in 1991 from Montana. From 1991 until a hip replacement in 2001 slowed him down a bit, he and his wife traveled the U.S. donating his skills as a carpenter to Boys’ ranches, churches, summer cam ps and colleges. They traveled in a motor home and asked only for a motor home hookup and worked for free. The DeBoer’s settled in Boardman to be close to children and grandchildren, who keep him busy and active with sports activities and carpentry. He is currently working on a cedar hope chest for his granddaughter.
