She received her which is near what is now diploma from Webster High known as Philippi Canyon. Quinton was not quite School in 1942. After graduation, she Portland, but it turned out traveled to Omaha, NE to be where she met the love of her life. She became friends with the section foreman Fiore Borghese and his wife Carmelita who lived nearby in Arlington. They both took quite a liking to this sweet, naïve girl from South Dakota and took her under their wings. Carmelita said she had a good looking brother she would like to introduce her to. Bea agreed to meet this tall, handsome Italian man from Echo. The sparks flew and it was love at first sight. Like many young men in that time, George was sent to basic Army training at Camp Roberts. While on leave, George and Bea were married on Feb. 4, 1945 in Pendleton. Bea was a patient bride, waiting for her new groom to come home from serving in the Philippines and a short time in Japan. Once home, they start- ed their new life together in Pendleton until the cou- ple pursued George’s love of farming. They moved to Pine City and formed a lease partnership with Leo Ashbeck. In 1965 they purchased their own farm which is still located on Butter Creek. Butter Creek was a lively place with George and Bea around. The family enjoyed many happy times with neighbors at the Pine City School House. All the neighbors, being friends and helping each other as needed, spent joyful times in the school house having sock hops, potlucks, bingo games and their favorite, dancing after all the work was done. Bea was the ultimate hostess. She could take a few leftovers and turn them into a feast with enough to feed an army. She was an exceptional homemak- er and cook. Her house always smelled so good. The scent of decadent Nor- wegian-Italian cuisine, pastries, cookies and rolls would permeate the air sending messages to the taste buds and you knew you were in for a huge treat. Always generous and giving, Bea never let you leave empty handed. As Over the Tee Cup The Willow Creek Country Club ladies play- day on July 24 hosted 18 ladies on the hot day.
