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
