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.

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.
