HERMISTON HISTORY
JACELYN KEYS
Hermiston Center Director,
Blue Mountain Community College
When and why did you move to Hermiston?
I moved to Hermiston on February 12, 2010 from
Oregon State University because I had gotten a job
as Eastern Oregon University’s Hermiston Center
Director.
Stuart Bonney, left, looks over his final herd of buffalo, which he sold to a ranch in Cheney, Washington in 1993.
What is your favorite place to eat in Hermiston?
It’s tied between Walker’s and Delish.
What do you like to do in your spare time?
I have no spare time. It’s a really good thing I love
my job — I spend 12 to 14 hours a day here. I love
to travel, I like to garden, I love reading and I like to
bake things.
What surprises you about Hermiston?
The community — I thought I’d be here for three
years and leave Hermiston. But I fell in love with the
people and how giving they are.
What was the last book you read?
I’ve got four books going right now. Probably the
best one is an autobiographical-type book on Booker
T. Washington — a compilation of his writings. I
think he’s really the father of career technical edu-
cation, and I’ve been blown away. I also read Pride
and Prejudice every fall. Jane Austen is my favor-
ite author. I love the courage she displays. Everyone
thinks she’s a fluffy romance writer, but she’s not, she
was terribly gutsy.
What app or website do you use most often?
Pinterest. It’s a horrible addiction.
If you could travel anywhere, where would
you go?
Scotland: it’s like my second home, I’ve been three
times. If I was traveling to a place I’ve never been,
I’d go to Turkey or Syria.
What is the funniest thing that’s happened to
you?
I met Rob Lowe in an airport. My flight was delayed
and then canceled, I was wearing a business suit that
was two days old, my makeup had sunk in/slid off my
face, and I was trying to get home. I was almost in
tears. Then I turned around, and Rob Lowe was stand-
ing behind me. He said, “it seems like you’re having a
hard time.” And I said, “Yes — and I really miss you
on the West Wing!” This was in 2005 or 2006.
What is one of your goals for the next 12
months?
I think a personal goal — I said at the beginning of
the year that I’d do at least one thing every month
that scared me or that took me out of my comfort
zone. For July, it’s ziplining in Belize.
What is your proudest accomplishment?
I think the moments where I’m most proud are not
my accomplishments, but my students’ — the times
I feel most pride are being able to watch or support
someone overcome something they didn’t think they
could overcome.
