Time Marches On

I've had a couple of poignant reminders today that time does not stand still. First, I saw the invitation for Myrtle Johnson's 99th birthday celebration at Town Hall today. For those who don't know, Myrtle is one of our longtime residents who lived next to town hall for decades and recently moved to Oregon to live with her daughter.

Part of the celebration is to collect 99 birthday cards for Myrtle. Please send a card c/o Vi Hall, 32196 Baxter Rd, Heriston, OR 97838. Or email Kathy Dopps at imatchr@eotnet.net The party is this weekend, but I don't think its too late to add to the birthday card count.

Second, one of Ruston's icons is no more. The old Krillich store was demolished today. Former Council Member Mary Joyce grew up as one of the Krillich kids, making deliveries for her family's grocery store located on N. 49th. ~ Karen

It's a shame that the store building fell into such awful disrepair. What an eyesore it turned out to be with all the garbage surrounding the building as well. At least we'll get to look at 2 new homes (at least I think that's the plan)
