Som e
changes
am ong the a p a rtm e n t's
residents have occurred over
the last few months. We will
remind readers of long-time
residents and introduce them
to the new ones. We are
beginning with two who are
natives of the area.
Bill French was bom
in H eppner in 1925. He
attended local schools and
has worked here all his life,
except for two years in the
Navy during World War II.
He w orked for H eppner
Transfer and Freight, which
carried both mail.and freight
in
the
1940s.
His
grandfather, Henry C. Gay,
is one of the pioneers in the
historic picture o f early
leaders in Morrow County.
The picture hangs in the
Center's Main Street lobby,
in the Court House and in
other public buildings in the
county. French remembers
being in constant fist fights
with a schoolmate, Albert
Bailey. The principal finally
decided to have a boxing
match between them, with
rin g , re fe re e, etc. Both
n ev er fou g h t again and
became very close friends.
F rench has liv ed at the
Center for five years and says
he enjoys it very much.
Alice Wagoner has
lived in the ap artm en t
complex about three and a
half years. During the 1940s,
she was a beauty operator in
the original hotel building
(where the dining room is
now.) In 1956, she and her
husband moved to Eugene.
There she said she earned
more “doing hair’’ than her
husband did in construction.
They adopted four children
and cared for a total of 40
children over the years who
still call her "Mom.’’ During
W orld War II, John
McRoberts, her brother, was
aw arded
a
d ouble
Distinguished Service Cross.
She moved back to Heppner
in 1992. One daughter and
son-in-law. Jack and Sue
Lytton, also live in Heppner.
Sue volunteers at the center
by deliverin g M eals-on-
W heels, each W ednesday
and Jack is a v o lu n te e r
driver. She also has three
grandchildren in Heppner,
Kevin Chick, Janice Gilson
and Robert Martin and her
brother, Ellis McRoberts.
