BUILDING AND GROUNDS - Clarence Landes
Howard Byerly volunteered to operate his chainsaw to cut trees and brush at the south road right-of-way, so on May 17 we had a work party of 7 souls (Clarence & Johnny Johnson, John McManigal, Frank Moore, John Anderson) on the brush with Byerly on the saw and Landes looking busy.
Quite a bit of the area was cut and brushed out but a second session was needed. On May 28, Howard and his saw was available so the remainder of the cutting on the right-of-way was done plus cutting a dozen or so dead trees at the north parking.
Our sincere thanks to Howard for helping push this job along.
Now we are ready for a "wood" and "brush" party which soon will be arranged... Please don't feel badly if we fail to call you the first time; we will be trying again.
Building & Grounds (Continued)
On May 31 Dr. Robert Harland with his trusty "International" power mower whittled his way thru the grass, weeds and small brush at the roads, trails and parking areas. We surely appreciate this good help and we thank you Bob.
Further a young chap, (second childhood maybe!) has been spraying some of our less desirable plants and shrubs, and more power to you Mark Castelloe.
FROM CHUCK BERKEY postmarked in Andorra.
Hi there, all you Obsidians. I am just drawing to a close a month's leave with some hiking, climbing and photography here in the Pyranees of the absolutely charming little co-principality of Andorra. Started out in Paris, thence to Chamonis for some skiing around Mont Blanc, but the weather wouldn't cooperate and decided to end the winter ski season, so I changed my plans and went to the Riviera to pick up a little sun. I'll be following your activities according to schedule and imagining myseld there with you. I hope that soon I actually can be.
NOTICE: A letter addressed to Obsidians asking whether it would be possible to obtain an address or information on "Mr. T. S, Easton whom we know was and may still be a member of your organization."
"Mr. Easton wrote a book entitled "Secret of the Wallowa Cave" which was published by the Metropolitan Press in Portland in 1934. We want to buy a copy of this book very much and have been unable to locate a copy as it is no longer in print."
If any of you have this information please write to Mr. & Mrs. Gene R. Cripe, Rt, 1 Box 185, Pendleton, Or. 97801
Obsidians send their deepest sympathy to Frances Newsom on the death of her sister Elise Schroeder Williamson; she and her husband John were former members.
James and Louise Berkey travelled to Grinnell, Iowa, to attend the graduation of daughter Martha at Grinnell College; she will be in Eugene during June, then will go to a position in Greece.
