Murphy John Edmundson (L) and Class of ’91 ASB president Scott Johnston (R) spruce up the lettering on the Class of '91 bench near the Heppner post office. - Photo by Andrea Di Salvo Anyone w alking down Main Street H ep pner on M onday m ight have smelled fresh paint near the post office as John Edmundson and Heppner High graduate Scott John ston repainted the lettering on one of the town’s four “Class o f ‘91” benches. Johnston, who was the ASB president for the c lass o f ' 91. now teaches el ementary school in Salem, the same school where Pat Edmundson taught when the Edmundsons lived in the Salem area. Johnston is in town visiting family during fair week, and was recruited as what Edmundson called an “involuntary volunteer” for the painting project. John ston didn’t seem to mind, since the benches hold a special place in his graduat ing class’s history. According to John ston, the class worked to raise money for a graduate trip to Disneyland in 1991. Thanks to an outpouring of community support, the stu dents raised around $7,000. That left them with money to spare, so they had the four benches built as an ex pression of gratitude for the community’s generosity. “They’re still here 20 years later,” said John ston.
