In Appreciation. . . 1981 was a very successful year in Real Estate for me, and I would like to take this opportunity to thank all who made it possible. It's been a pleasure to help make dreams come true! My 25 years as a school employee in the com munity was very rewarding, to be able to start a new career and be successful has been a great bonus. As a long-time Vernonia resident (I still live on the street I was born on.), I have always been interested in the history, present times and future growth of Vernonia. Again, thanks to my many customers who made Vernonia their new home in 1991 and to the customers who entrusted me with the listing of their proper ties. If you or someone you know has a move on their agenda for 1992, don't hesi tate to call me at Vernonia Realty & Insurance Center, 429-6203.
