Reunion celebrates the 60s, honors teachers, classmates Saturday, July 25, at the Heppner Elks club, the class of 1965 and friends honored three special class- mates and teachers as part of the “Celebrate the 60s” class reunion. Millie Hanna was hon- ored as a primary school teacher and mother of two classmates who is still go- ing strong in her 90s. Doris Morris Brosnan was honored as an orga- nizer of the reunion for the class of ’61 and a high school teacher for two years at Heppner doing the 60s, and for her years of labor to make Heppner a better place to live. Jan Hagar Evans was honored as the tireless be- hind-the-scenes organizer who made things happen. More than 150 class- mates, spouses and friends attended the dinner that Saturday, and many more enjoyed the 60s music and dance. The 60s classes also raised $500 for the Wil- low Creek Assisted Living, $300 for the Heppner High School alumni fund and $550 in tips for the Hep- pner FFA.

Justice Court Report Morrow County Justice of the Peace Ann Spicer has released the following Justice Court report: -Ignacio Tejeda Sanchez, 46, of Ione was found guilty of Failure to Drive Right and fined $260. By Doris Brosnan The “Welcome” mat was out when Bonnie Gates moved into an apartment at Willow Creek Terrace on July 13. Bonnie’s new neighbors are in for a treat when they see her creative jewelry-making talents. The variety of talents of this community on the Hill might be evidenced at the Morrow County Fair this month, as residents traditionally have a strong showing at the event. That same week, some residents will also show up at the next Music in the Park event in Heppner. They can be sure that on the 16 th , they will be entertained, amused and delighted by the Wam- beke music. Only three residents were able to attend the park concert on July 19, but the Terrace was the place for everyone to be on the Fourth, when fireworks did fire up Independence-Day spirits but did not fire up the landscape. The rest of July was calmer and offered op- portunities for morning discussions on diverse top- ics ranging from To Kill a Mockingbird, to baseball, Disneyland, Special Olym- pics, and cowboys (at least one lives at the Terrace). Discussion on Parents’ Day, the 26 th , included memories on parents, being parents, and then being grandpar- ents. And Father-in-Law Day on the 30 th was loaded with comments.... Days celebrating foods continued to be of inter- est at the Terrace in July: Hershey Kiss Day, Fried Chicken Day, Strawberry Sundae Day and then the all-inclusive Sundae Sun- day, Penuche Fudge Day, Ice Cream Cone Day, and Jelly Bean Day. The hot days of August will promise some delicious occasions, too, including Root Beer Float Day on the 6 th and Peach Pie Day on the 24 th . August discussions have begun with “Sisters” (Aug. 2), which resulted in much reminiscing. “Daugh- ters” and “Family” (9 th ) will surely create some lively discussion. Lefthanders will be celebrated on the 13 th , so Barbara Struthers and Billie Lacey should feel espe- cially special that day. Best Friends Day will stimulate many fond memories and memories in the making on the 15 th , and Poets Day on the 21 st will encourage the sharing of one’s favorite poets and poems. Interest- ing to contemplate what the discussion might be on Tooth Fairy Day (22 nd ). Investigation of teeth marks proves without doubt that the culprits responsible for the trimming of the Ter- race’s tomato plants and the once-beautiful blossoms in planters at the entry are the deer, the bold deer. Since the staff and residents gave up on a garden this year, because of their last-year deer problem, they are for- tunate to have garden pro- duce from good neighbors. This past month, Tallmans, Bud Wilson’s family, and the Strutherses shared their bounties. Another fantastic and unexpected donation to Wil- low Creek Terrace recently came from some Heppner High School graduates. The 160 people who attended the “Celebrate the 60s” reunion for the classes of 1960 through 1969 shared their extra cash after ex- penses with the Community on the Hill. This thoughtful- ness, so greatly appreciated, is another example of the kindnesses that everyone at the Terrace has a view of almost every week.
