the “Birthday Song” will ring
through the building
On
M onday,
residents and staff celebrated
the second anniversary o f
Willow Creek Terrace. No
one could truly believe that
two years since the facility’s
opening have already passed,
but they were pleased that
the Terrace did open and is
a helpful living experience
today.
Three staff members
have been with the Terrace
since its origin and received
from the B oard a hearty
“thank you” and a red rose
for th e ir d ilig en ce Sue
Baker, Diana Sharp and
Bobbie Angell.

Condon And that was that:
Cleo and Delbert married
and m oved to C ondon
Though from wetter, greener
climate, Cleo was familiar
with the Wasco area, where
her grandparents lived, so
she acclimated easily to her
home in Condon Delbert
was then renting a farm, but
soon the Edwards bought
that place and then added a
ranch in the Lone Rock area
to their holdings
Cleo had little time
for hobbies, she says, with
her ranch-related work and
her family o f two children, a
son and a daughter, but she
has created many attractive
rugs for family members. A
large hooked rug in golden
to n es co m p lem en ts her
apartment now, and she may
complete another rug this

will have to find the time for
that work when she is not

children, who have remained
on the ranches with her six
grandchildren
