Author to speak in
Pendleton
The author of “Grit and

inside look at EO Media
Group, will participate in
a book launch and signing
event at the Umatilla County
Historical Society.
Written by historian Wil-
liam F. Willingham, with the
subtitle “An Oregon Fam-
ily’s Adventures in News-
papering, 1908–2018,” the
book chronicles the devo-
tion of the Aldrich-Forrest-

to community journalism.
The publication shares the
history of the company and
family that owns 10 Oregon
newspapers, including the
Hermiston Herald and East
Oregonian.
The event is Monday,
Oct. 29 at 5 p.m. at Heri-
tage Station Museum, 108
S.W. Frazer Ave., Pendle-
ton. There is no admission
charge.
A Pendleton native, Will-
ingham worked on the proj-
ect for four years. In addi-
tion to interviewing family
members and key company
employees — both current
and retired — the author
read newspaper archives
and dug through documents
at the Oregon Historical
Society.
Distributed by Ore-
gon State University Press,
“Grit and Ink” is available
in paperback. To order the
book, visit www.books.
