"Mr. Campbell bequeathed the trust fund a substantial amount that frees us from concern about fundraising, allowing us to focus on our essential purpose of granting s c h o la rs h ip s ,” the spokesperson explains. R o b ert “B ob” Campbell died at the age of 83 over a year ago. A native of the Willow Creek Valley, he was raised on the family ranch on Social Ridge, near Lexington. When Campbell retired from his work with cattle and farming, he moved into the home of his parents in Lexington, remaining with them as a caregiver in their later years and continued to live in the Lexington home. Don C am p b ell remembers his brother Bob as a "tender heart” who took great delight and interest in the nieces and nephews. He especially enjoyed sharing his know ledge in various school subjects with them. T his shy star a th lete in L ex in g to n H igh School attended one semester on a sc h o la rsh ip to P acific U n iv e rsity and now his appreciation of education and interest in young people will continue to be reflected in the South M orrow scholarship program. The South Morrow County Scholarship Trust was established in 1993 to fund sc h o la rsh ip s for Heppner and lone graduates. T hough the tru st now provides four scholarships per year, expectations are that it will more fully replace the Troedson Scholarship F und w hen that one is d isco n tin u ed in the year 2023. S c h o la rsh ip s are awarded from the interest earned on the principal in the account and the Campbell bequest will mean larger amounts and faster growth of these available funds. The present Board of Directors - Bill Reitm ann, Barbara Hayes, Del LaRue, Sharon Harrison, Missy Cutsforth, C arri G rieb, and M artha Munkers - "are available to sp eak to in d iv id u a ls or groups about the scholarship program and how a person can invest money, at a tax saving, in the future of our y o u th ,” say s the spokesperson. Applications for this y e a r ’s s c h o la rsh ip s for additional training or study after high school, from both funds, will become available on M arch 1 at the high schools and at the Bank of E a stern O regon.

Arnold and Reed traveled by horseback and by foot, by dugout canoe and swinging bridge. They acted as te a c h e rs, d o c to rs, preachers, legal advisers and m ediators.
