Comments:

I attended Oregon State University, graduating with a degree in humanities in 1965. Fortunately my college activities included working on the campus newspaper and prepared me for a career with newspapers in Corvallis, Albany and Salem, Ore. Over the years I worked as a reporter, copy editor, section editor and page designer. Work was fun, filled with variety and new challenges on a regular basis. Nevertheless, RETIREMENT IS FABULOUS.

I am so sorry to hear of Mary’s passing. I remember her well, as well as her sister, Patty. I know she probably wouldn’t have remembered me. Few do. lol  I know she will be missed so much by all those whose life she touched. Condolences to her family, and may she rest peacefully in Heaven.

I was so sorry to hear of Steve's death. He was memorable! Like Marilyn Fazio McQueen, I remember Steve's Elvis antics. One of my favorite memories is his re-telling an Elvis movie (can't remember which one for sure) complete with the songs, of course, and the backgrounds by the Jordanaires.

Happy birthday Mary. I can't believe that we met over 60 years ago. I have very fond memories of you and your sister from school and church. Take care.
