LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Donna Yonce

To the Editor:

Thanks for the “Days of Yore Years Ago” featured in the recent Times-Journal. Jimmy Campbell gave me a picture with a five-line story that he had from a 1957 East Oregonian. The reporter was identified as Elsie Dickson, and he told me she was a relative, no more! Fitzmaurice was her maiden name; now I know the rest of the story!

Jannie’s story intrigued me, so I did some research on "POPS". His back story is “wow”. I only remember him from the Shoestring after Bill and family had it. He was a neat guy!

I too don't make a new year’s resolution, but this year I resolve to keep the "handmade in Poland" box with a shamrock on it and not gift it to one of my Irzyk cousins! Happy 2024.

—Donna Yonce, Condon
