ARRESTS, CITATIONS SUNDAY •Hermiston police arrested Elias Charles Mendoza, 29, of Hermiston, for DUII (alcohol) and on a warrant for failure to appear. LETTER TO THE EDITOR Priviledged to call Hermiston home My husband, Dr. Guy Oltman, retired on August 31, 2016, having praticed family medicine for 31 years with Hermiston Med- ical Center, which later be- came Family Health Associ- ates. Our family of 5 moved to Hermiston in late August 1985. Guy worked in the old hospital on Orchard Av- enue for 4 months before our present Good Shepherd Hospital was completed in December. Our eldest son, Josh, be- gan irst grade just a week af- ter our arrival in Hermiston. A fall from the ramp of our U-Haul moving truck made for an eventful beginning to his school career, com- plete with a cast on his right arm. All three of our boys received an excellent and memorable elementary and junior high education from Hermiston Jr. Academy, and many of those friendships remain today. In fact, two of our sons married local girls (cousins Crystal and Jessica Engelhart) who they were acquainted with from grade school years. Hermiston will go down in our minds as being a great place to raise our children. The small town, down- home atmosphere, friend- ly people, and wide-open spaces made for building some great forts and cre- ating splendid childhood memories. Imagine our de- light when our youngest son Jonas and his wife Jessica, chose to return to Hermis- ton in 2014. Both have been fellow health care provid- ers, along with Guy, at the Family Health Associates Clinic. working alongside his children has made these last years of Guy’s medical practice especially fulilling. As Guy’s wife, I can testify to the long hours he worked, his dedication to his profession and his commit- ment to providing the best possible care to the myriad of patients who placed their trust in him. Many were the birthday parties he missed (including his own), the in- terrupted holidays, the sleep- less nights etc. But there was LETTERS POLICY The Hermiston Herald welcomes original letters for publication on public issues and public policies. Submitted letters must be signed by the author and include the city of residence and a daytime phone number. never a complaint-at least never from guy. He dreamed of becoming a doctor from early childhood, and he nev- er wavered in his love for his work. Our many thanks to the greater Hermiston com- munity; hospital board, ad- ministration and personnel; work associates; employ- ees; and thousands of pa- tients through the years who have made Guy’s medical practice most rewarding. The outpouring of love and gratitude at the time of his retirement has been over- whelming and so very much appreciated. We couldn’t allow this milestone in our lives to pass without thank- ing each one for the wonder- ful priviledge that has been ours in calling Hermiston home and each of you, our extended family.
