By TAMMY MALGESINI COMMUNITY EDITOR Hats off to ACE Hardware A big hats off to ACE Hardware. This store and all the people are so nice and friendly, you have missed the best place in Hermiston. I have been a customer for years, but I have shopped at every store with all of the many, many things they have to offer. The people working are so friendly and helpful (not like some other stores, when you go in they walk up to you not away). Can’t even say enough, just thank you very much. While disco was popular with the release of “Saturday Night Fever,” I preferred the likes of Billy Joel’s “Only the Good Die Young,” Bob Seger’s “Night Moves,” Queen’s “We are the Champions” and “Hotel California” by the Eagles. Speaking of hotel, the event is being held the same weekend as the Bay Area Fun Festival and the 39th annual Steve Prefontaine Run. Rooms are booking up fast, but my mom and pops still reside in Coos Bay — in the very house that I lived in my last few years of high school. Luckily, my old bedroom no longer features dreadful wallpaper. It was quite obnoxious with yellow, orange and pink smiley faces everywhere. I enjoyed my high school days, but wouldn’t want to go back to things like minimum wage at $2.30 an hour, a basic Montgomery Wards microwave oven for just under $500 and disco topping the music charts. As for the memories, thanks to the Bee Gees, they are “stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive, ah, ha, ha, ha.” ——— Tammy Malgesini is the community editor.
