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

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.
