Not long ago I was asked why I enjoy travel as much as I do. “There are so many wonderful places to see and interesting people yet to meet,” was my first answer. Upon further contemplation, here are other thoughts and experiences I’ve had to round out my opinion:
It’s easy to become stagnant in life, too comfortable or predictable. If that happens, we become boring as well. Some of us
perspective and different things to talk about with friends old and new.
My first venture outside of the United States was eye-opening in how others view our country and us as representatives of it. Not all of their views were
tactfulness in discussions has become a learned asset.
I saw firsthand how laws in another country can make a difference in the quality of life for all its citizens. Singapore was the cleanest city I’ve visited, despite an enormous population. Their laws on littering are strictly enforced with cameras, and a $300 fine discourages violations. Drivers pulled over with alcohol on their breath, intoxicated or not, can have their licenses revoked. Thus, streets are clean and drivers are courteous.
Travel has taught me to listen to music I might not otherwise have chosen but have come to enjoy.
I’ve tasted foods I might have avoided or disdained
because I didn’t know better. Some I found delightful, some not. The point is, getting out of the comfort zone can be fun.
When searching for beautiful things to photograph and share with those at home, my observation skills are enhanced. Seeking handicrafts and souvenirs lets me haunt local markets and mingle with others. I can laugh at myself when I make mistakes, and laugh with others when we share something amusing. Meeting new people and learning things I never expected to learn make travel such a marvelous adventure.
When I get back home, there’s a greater appreciation for where we live, the
freedoms and privileges we enjoy, and the comfort of knowing there’s still a nest waiting for me when I can’t make the body go where the mind wants. Meanwhile, I’m collecting memories instead of stuff and finding new things to share with those of you who take the time to read this column. It makes me so happy to hear from those of you who do. Happy travels, everyone. Shake off winter and get moving, even if it’s a drive down a country road. Discover the beauty in life. The more you seek, the more you’ll find.
Ifound some difficulty recently when I tried to engage my wife in conversation across the morning breakfast table. Wait a second — that sentence not only cannot stand alone, it is going to require a bit of an explanation.
“Engage?” That engagement took place a little more than 52 years ago, and, as I recall, it involved, among other things, the purchase of a pretty spendy diamond ring.
On the morning in question, the difficulty in engaging arose when I spotted the word “meme” in a news item and then made a feeble attempt to
bluff my way through a plausible meaning of that strange word. I hadn’t the foggiest idea of what it could be. Not to be undone, I sought the answer in my trusty dictionary, which has been my learned friend for many years. For the first time, I believe, my honored reference book failed me — failed to define the word “meme.” In fact, the book even denied its existence.
Wait again — words do mean things. Yes, things, ideas, feelings and more, much more. We humans communicate with one another, mostly by using words, both written
and spoken. Words. We use ’em, abuse ’em, misuse ’em, confuse ’em, refuse ’em, yes, even sometimes lose ’em.
Lake Superior State University recently released its Banished Words 2023 list (lssu.edu/traditions/ banishedwords). Some of the word drops recommended by its “experts” are: “absolutely,” “amazing” and the phrase “moving forward.” These words may be time-worn, maybe even shop-worn — but do they deserve to disappear? What’s appropriate punishment for these interlopers? Prison? Too easy for ’em. Yard-arm? Nearest one.
Words can bless, curse, praise, inform, condemn, console, hurt and even destroy.
As kids we all probably, at one time or another, repeated this proverbial maxim: “Sticks and stones can break my bones, but words can never hurt me.”
Well, some may have found out differently in the meanwhile.
But not Chris Rock, apparently. The comedian’s recent comment regarding last year’s slap by actor Will Smith reinforces the childhood taunt: “Anyone who says words hurt has never been punched in the face.”
Years ago during my brief stint attending classes at a college in Oceans-
ide, Calif., I enrolled in an etymology course. It was at that time and place where I learned “words mean things,” and I enjoyed the study. This also might have been about the time when I seriously considered tackling the English language. But, now I see such a change in our wordage, a minor explosion of “new” words and terms, supplied mostly, I believe, by a social media gone bonkers. Words like chatbot and mansplaining and weaponize and fake news and A.I. and the aforementioned meme, just to name a few. Crypto currency, anyone? Wanna tackle “new normal?”
No problem. I’ll just put my Webster’s New Collegiate Dictionary 1975 Edition to work on these babies. It’s the big red 1,536-page, power-packed, knowledge-getter from my 1974-75 college days.
Oops, sorry, my source book is too old/the verbiage too new. But hey, my source does define “bonkers.”
I might mention here that those college days were just eight years after my 20-year retirement from Uncle Sam’s Marine Corps, from which I brought with me words and terms much-needed to be unlearned.
Words and phrases
pre-dating even that era: Having “growed-up” during the hard times of the early to mid-1930s, educated for eight years in a one-room country school, I was witness to a different kind of culture. Stuff was scarce, money was even scarcer; bartering, trading and hand-me-downs were commonplace. So were expressions like, “You’ve got my word on it” and “His word is his bond” and “He’ll stand behind his word” and “He’s a man of few words, and you can trust him.” Such phrases often accompanied promises and agreements and were followed and guaranteed by a firm handshake. Words. How important they are. They reflect who and what you were and are. Thinking back over my own life, were there instances when I spoke too harshly, neglected to speak truthfully, failed to heed the examples set by those before me? Yes. I’d like to think I’ve changed, especially during my 60s, 70s, 80s, and now with one foot in the 90s.
So friends, would you learn this from me? Choose carefully the words you speak (and write). Develop a friendly attitude and demeanor and be quick and ready to bless and forgive.
I close this treatise with the refrain from a hymn written more than 140 years ago. It goes something like this: “Beautiful words, wonderful words, wonderful words of life.”

Let’s talk about kidnappings and manhunts: one that unfolded in our Lewiston area and one involving the abduction of a boy born in Lewiston.
The headline from the June 13, 1929, Lewiston Tribune reads, “Gangsters Kidnap Kinne With Pair of Rescuers.” Subheads said: “Lt. Governor Is Taken Near Lewiston — Make Escape. Guard All Highways. Four Bandits Hold Three Men Prisoners — Wreck Auto West of Orofino.”
Here is how it happened: On June 12, 1929, Idaho’s lieutenant governor, William Kinne, spent the night at the Lewis-Clark Hotel in Lewiston. The next morning, while driving to his home in Orofino, four men stopped him. They forced him onto the back-seat floor of his car, and told him to be quiet or they would blow his brains out. The men piled into his car and drove around 60 mph — a high rate of speed at the time.
About a mile from Orofino, by what was then called the insane asylum on the north side of the Clearwater River (the highway wasn’t moved to the present south side until 1932), a tire blew out. The car went into a ditch and was a total wreck.
Warren Tribbey, 41, from Spokane, and 32-year-old Paul Kilde, of Lewiston, came upon the wreck and stopped to help. They were met with a hail of bullets and told
their car was being taken. When they resisted, Kilde was shot in the legs and he and Tribbey were pistol whipped and beaten unconscious.
The bandits took Kinne, Kilde and Tribbey to a spot near Greer and tied them to a tree. They took $200 from Tribbey, $14 from Kinne and threatened all three with death if they tried to escape.
After the four bandits drove off, Tribbey used a small knife their captors had overlooked and he cut himself and the two others loose. They walked into Greer and law enforcement notified all of the Northwest states to be on the lookout for a blue Buick with license plate 249-060. The four kidnappers were described as dangerous with guns.
The following day, June 14, Latah County Sheriff Miles Pierce spotted two men asleep along the railroad tracks. He took them to the Juliaetta jail; it turned out they were part of the gang of kidnappers. An hour later the remaining two were rounded up nearby. Two hours later, Kinne and Tribbey identified the prisoners as their captors, including Albert Reynolds as being the man who shot Kilde.
The four said they hadn’t planned to hold anyone for ransom, but only wanted a getaway car to use for a planned robbery of a Pierce bank. They decided against
Pendleton train and on to the state penitentiary in Boise. Kinne came through the episode OK, but sadly died three months later of a ruptured appendix at the age of 55. He had come to the area in 1903 and homesteaded in Dent, Idaho. His wife and daughter survived him. His only son died in World War I.
Edward Fliss, one of the kidnappers, was pardoned and released from prison on July 23, 1934. Less than a year later he again became involved in a kidnapping with connections to the Lewiston area.
These photos from the Idaho Historical Society show four men convicted in the 1929 kidnapping of Lt. Gov. William Kinne, Warren Tribbey and Paul Kilde near Orofino. Kilde was shot in the legs. Fliss was later convicted in the 1935 abduction of 9-year-old George Weyerhaeuser in Tacoma.
the heist, ditched Tribbey’s car and walked to Juliaetta, where they were caught.
On June 15, the four prisoners were taken to the Nez Perce County Jail in Lewiston. More than 1,000 people were gathered at the courthouse, many with guns. The four were taken through the back to the third-floor jail. County Attorney Ray Durham filed charges of kidnapping, assault and robbery against the prisoners, who pleaded guilty. None were able make bail and were sentenced to from two to 25 years in prison.
On June 29, 1929, they were linked by handcuffs in pairs, and marched across the street to the train depot to board the
60 years in prison. Fliss was arrested for passing some of the ransom money money, and sentenced to 10 years in prison.
On May 24, 1935, 9-year-old George Weyerhaeuser was kidnapped while walking home to eat lunch in Tacoma. The boy was returned safely June 1, 1935, after his captors were paid a $200,000 ransom.
A week after “the greatest manhunt in the history of the Northwest,” a married couple were arrested in Salt Lake City for passing marked bills from the ransom money. They were sentenced to 45 and 20 years in prison. The following week the “brains” behind the kidnapping was arrested in San Francisco and sentenced to
George Weyerhaeuser, the kidnapped boy, was born in 1926 in Lewiston and lived at 630 Ninth St. until 1933, when the family moved to Tacoma. His father, John P. Weyerhaeuser was manager of the new Clearwater Lumber Mill in Lewiston which opened in 1927. George and his sister, who was four years older, both attended the Lewiston Normal’s grade school. Years ago, Mrs. Marc Ware, a teacher at the Normal, told me she remembered the Weyerhaeuser children well. George served in the Navy during World War II, graduated from Yale University, was the father of six children and was the chief executive officer of the Weyerhaeuser Co. He died in 2021 at age 95 after a very good life.

Today Svetlana, the English-speaking tour guide, her husband, Sel, and I took a taxi to Zagorsk, about 44 miles northeast of Moscow. The
Trinity Monastery of St. Sergius — breathtakingly beautiful with four blue domes and one central gold dome — is the equivalent of the Vatican for the Russian Orthodox Church. The head of the church, called the Patriarch, lived here until 1983, when he moved into a newly restored monastery in Moscow.
This is a functioning church, with a theological seminary attached. There are three cathedrals in this compound, plus living quarters and many other buildings. The main cathedral is open only in the summer
retirement.

At the founding of this monastery in the 1330s and 1340s, Sergius of Radonezh supported the Grand Princes of Moscow against the Tatar-Mongol overlords and soon became very popular. The Tatar hordes of the Khan Yedigei burned the wooden monastery buildings in 1408, and in 1422 Cathedral of the Trinity was erected on the site of the earlier wooden church. Typical of Russian Orthodox churches it is square in shape. It’s customary that there are no pews or chairs inside the church. A service, or Mass, lasts for three hours and people stand, kneel, sing the liturgy, light candles and are free to walk in and out during the service. In large churches with many people like these, there is no sermon during the service, but smaller parish churches probably do have a sermon. It’s more of a give-and-take session than the formal sermons common in the United States. The east wall of the main room is covered by an iconostasis, a series of paintings called icons. It’s located on the east wall because Christ came from the East. A traditional iconostasis consisting of five tiers divides the sanctuary from the congregation. Only the priest may enter the sanctuary through the Holy Gate in the center of this wall. The top two tiers of the iconostasis show the prophets and forefathers that foretell the appearance of Christ. The third tier depicts the main episodes of Christ’s life, such as his birth, baptism, miracles and crucifixion.
The fourth is the Deity’s tier. Its pictures are larger, and the center icon always shows the Empowered Christ or Mighty Christ. To the left appear John the Baptist, then the archangel Gabriel and then Peter. Icons to the right are the Holy Virgin, then the archangel Michael, then Paul. The remainder of the fourth-tier icons depict other apostles. The Empowered Christ icon is at the top of the Holy Gate, which opens to reveal the priest to the people as he conducts the service.
is revered as holy to the church, and many pilgrims come here to pray and kiss the tomb of St. Sergius. As I stood and watched the people attending the service, I was struck by how many young adults there were: mothers with little children; teenage and post-teenage young men. There is little interaction among the congregation.
Jeanne KeattsThe fifth tier is known as the local tier, featuring local saints. The main icon, representing the name of the church, is always located to the right of the Holy Gate in the fifth level. In Holy Trinity Church, the name icon is the trinity.
In the dome rising over this room are pictures of Christ, symbolizing the superiority of God over all. On the drums (supports for the dome) are Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Fresco murals made on wet plaster on the other walls of the cathedral tell of the universe. The side walls elaborate on the theme of each cathedral; i.e., in a church dedicated to Holy Virgin, there would be scenes and details of Mary’s life. The west wall, opposite the iconostasis, depicts heaven on the right and hell on the left.
The cathedrals were designed for illiterate people, who couldn’t read the Bible. By looking at the paintings, they could understand the universe and man’s relationship to God.
Cathedral of the Trinity
The concept of a church family as Americans know it doesn’t seem to exist here. Before the coup, I understand, you didn’t want the person next to you to know who you were. That may change now. I’ve seen a number of cathedrals and iconostases since I’ve been here. I’d like to see them again when I understand more about them.
Russian Orthodox priests are allowed to marry and have families. When we went into the cathedral today, bread could be purchased by Orthodox Catholics who wished to take communion. On Sundays and holidays, the bread is free. We were allowed to freely go into the service, but they wouldn’t sell communion bread to Protestants.
Since the coup, many names are being changed, and now the name of Zagorsk is being changed to Sergius, the historical name. But, so far, the maps and road signs haven’t been changed.

Catfishing is when someone fakes an online identity to scam victims for money, romance or physical harm. These predatory online relationships can last for months or even years. It’s catfishing if ...
They ask for money: An online friend or romantic interest whom you’ve never met asks you to send money or provide your bank information.
They won’t meet. Beware if the contact strings you along but avoids meeting in person. Some catfishers agree to meet but have an “emergency” — such as a canceled flight or a medical issue — that prevents it. Catfishers often claim to be stationed abroad or working on an oil rig as an excuse for not meeting.
Skyping is off limits, too. Catfishers refuse to video chat.
They seem too good to be true. Some people who catfish feel bad about themselves and often assume the online persona of a fashion model, actor, successful businessperson, etc.
Before meeting in person or providing any information about yourself, fact-check claims and verify online identities using Google and SocialCatfish.com.

“Guess what I found — a Betty Crocker chocolate cake mix.”
“Wow, how exciting! Where, Kmart?”
Living in a foreign country is wonderful, but also a challenge at times because of a person’s wish for familiar things one misses from home. Several of us expat teachers from various towns would get together on occasion in Brno, the second-largest city in Czech Republic. We usually met at the McDonald’s that was in the city center to indulge our longing for fast food treats. My particular favorite was the caramel sundae. Sometimes we would take in an American movie, usually if it was in English and subtitled in Czech. Films that were dubbed for Czech speakers weren’t easy to follow, but we did go to those, too; it was a good way to improve our Czech. We Americans enjoyed chatting away to each other. It was a bit of a relief that we could speak normally and not in the more simplified manner we used for our students. At that time, 1997, there was a Kmart in Brno. It was a muchloved place to browse and find items not usually available in Czech shops. A food section in the store’s basement was always crowded with eager shoppers. Folks could often find one or two things that were favorites back home in the U.S.: a pancake mix, a can of chicken noodle soup or a box of Jell-O.
visiting was done, we said our goodbyes and headed home. It was a chilly day, but the train was warm — unlike the buses, which were usually unheated and quite uncomfortable. My journey involved a train change and a wait for the connecting one. I arrived in Holešov after dark and began the milelong trek to Ivan and Martina’s house. The wind was blowing and it began to rain. A block from home, the shopping bag slipped from my hand and smashed on the cement. Oh no! I rushed home, put the whole thing in a bowl and picked the broken glass pieces out of the salsa. I dipped a potato chip and took a bite. It was extra crunchy. Glass? Maybe. Yikes!
Just then the phone rang. It was my husband calling from Idaho. I told him what had happened and he said, “Throw it away. Haven’t you heard of a perforated stomach?” So I very reluctantly threw away the whole treasured jar of salsa.
On a later trip to the Brno Kmart, I found another jar of salsa. This time I was prepared. I had brought along bubble wrap to safely carry any fragile purchases.
When I arrived home, Martina was still at work but I invited Ivan to try some salsa. While looking in the cupboard for the chips, I turned to see Ivan had poured the salsa into a bowl and was about to eat it like soup.
“No, Ivan, not that way.”
One day I was surprised and delighted to find a single jar of salsa. I bought it and carried it around town all day in my reusable shopping bag. If you didn’t bring your own shopping bags, you had to buy one from the shop. And they were not cheap.
When our day of shopping and
I showed him that it was a dip for chips, and we then enjoyed a delicious (and safe) snack — made even better with a couple of Czech beers.

ur 10-acre farm taught me about growing stuff and living life. My family was self-sufficient, hardworking and lived off the land. Garden lessons formed a strong foundation for the rest of my life. Be prepared. Dad spread manure on the garden plot, spaded up the ground and raked it into fine particles. The garden needed food, a good turning over and loose soil. If you expected decent results, you put in long hours and hard work.
Sometimes things go wrong. No matter how carefully you plan, hail, insects or a hard rain can ruin everything. One year the pigs broke out of the pen and devoured every plant. If at first you don’t succeed ... you know how that saying goes.
Pay attention to the small stuff. If you don’t know a weed from radish leaves, who knows what you’ll be eating later on?
The shape, color and size of those green things coming up through the black dirt tell you what to pull and what to pat carefully around. Decisions are made all your life. Pay attention to the details so you make the right choice.
Little enemies rob your success. At 2 years old, it was my job to pick the fat, squishy, green worms
off the tomato plants and drop them in a can with gasoline in the bottom. I’m glad I didn’t have to squash them. Those worms devoured vines. Bad attitudes in life can grow into something you can’t control. The results — disaster. As my dad used to say: “Nip it in the bud.”
Be aware of pirates in the corn patch. After the corn was high and the ears began to tassel, Dad sent me to the corn patch with a can of cooking oil. I pulled down the husk until I saw the silk, gave it a squirt and carefully folded the husk back around the developing corn ear.
Earwigs love corn. They wait until the kernels have developed just right, then they crawl into the ear and have a feast. But they hate smelly oil, which covers their bodies and smothers them. They won’t even enter an oiled ear.
Life pirates are things like jealousy, anger and resentment. They eat away at the good things like happiness and peace.
Watch and protect your crop. When Dad finished planting the corn,
he sat by the kitchen window every morning watching for pheasants. They loved corn kernels. Dad kept his little rifle leaning against the wall by the table. Up went the window, just enough to slide the barrel under. He’d sight in the bird and, boom — we’d have a wonderful pheasant for dinner that night.
I’m not advocating violence. I believe in the defense of prayer and arming myself with faith and love. Don’t let the ideas of others rob you of the good seeds of life.
A hard whacking and shaping up is good. Every spring, we trimmed the fruit trees. Every harvest, we picked large delicious fruit. We took care of the trees, and they gave us a cellar full of canned fruits, jams and jellies.
No one likes to go through hard times, but we can’t avoid it. Painful experiences feel like having our limbs cut off. Pruning hurts at the time, but can produce strong character and a wiser person.
Maybe that’s what’s wrong today: People
moved off the farm. They didn’t learn the basic farm lessons of life. Respect and prepare. Develop the dignity of hard work, which rewards you with satisfaction. Grow the ability to discern right from wrong and become aware of what can happen if responsibility is neglected. Would the world be a better place if we all just grew stuff?

Kate Weber and Larry Bean share a laugh last month at the Veterans Outreach Center in Clarkston. The two team up with Dennis McDonald (shown onPage11) twice a week to prepare meals for veterans.
August Frank/ Golden Times
Their customers are the country’s heroes, and the grub easily beats the mess hall fare served back in the day.
Twice a week, a kitchen crew of three cheerfully cooks up crowd-pleasing comfort food at the Veterans Outreach Center in Clarkston’s Veterans of Foreign Wars Hall. The lunches are free to vets, who gather around the tables from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. to eat, talk and form friendships on Wednesdays and Fridays.
Behind the scenes are volunteers Kate Weber, Larry Bean and Dennis McDonald, who shop, cook, serve and clean up each week.
“I do this because I’m still supporting my brothers and sisters, and I always will until the day I die. This is something very close to my heart. Vets helping vets is the key to all of this.”
LARRY BEAN, VOLUNTEER COOK AT VFW HALL OUTREACH CENTERKitchen crew at outreach center salutes vets
Weber, 61, is a Lewiston resident who retired from the Social Security office after 33 years.
“I was blessed to be able to retire at 55 and got to take care of my mom until she passed last summer,” Weber said. “I read an article about this place and wanted to be a volunteer, so I came over, introduced myself and asked how I could help.”
Although she has never served in the military, she has family members and friends who did.
“It’s an honor for me to do what I can for those who served our country,” Weber said. “This is a really good group.”
Bean, 73, grew up in the restaurant business and knows how to cook for large groups. As he prepared cream of chicken served over hot, buttered noodles, Bean said he’s been retired three times.
He was a deputy sheriff and patrolman in Montana, where he was hit by a drunk driver and told he would never work again. “So, I retired two more times just to prove them wrong.”
In addition to his military service, Bean, who lives in Clarkston, ran a catering business and worked in business development and sales for Food Services of America.
“My favorite meal to make is whatever they like,” he said. “When everything’s gone, that was the perfect meal.”
Bean still has painful memories of returning home during the Vietnam era when he and a chaplain found themselves in the middle of an anti-war protest at the airport in
WHAT: Meals for veterans.
WHEN: 11 a.m.-1 p.m. Wednesdays and Fridays.
WHERE: VFW Outreach Center, 829 15th St., Clarkston.
COST: Free to veterans.
CONTACT: (509) 758-4219.

“We were dressed in our uniforms and the center of attention, and it wasn’t positive,” Bean said.
He plans to keep helping at the outreach center for as long as he can because he believes
veterans should help other vets.
“I do this because I’m still supporting my brothers and sisters, and I always will until the day I die. This is something very close to my heart. Vets helping vets is the key to all of this.”
She’s not directly connected to the military, but she wants to be here.”
Post Commander Chuck Whitman, who also is an Asotin County commissioner, said the center relies on volunteers to serve this community’s large population of veterans.
“I feel very blessed to have so many dedicated volunteers,” Whitman said. “They are what make this place work. I could use a few more hosts, if anyone is interested.”
McDonald, a 76-yearold Clarkston resident, started volunteering about a year ago.
“I retired but still work as a substitute teacher,” McDonald said. “I live alone, and this is a good way to meet people my age and little bit younger and help out the community.”
After working years as a mechanic and serving in the Army during Vietnam, McDonald went on to be a camper manufacturer, a sign manufacturer, and later was employed by a school bus company.
“I’ve retired five times,” he said. “I always have to do something.”
He’s usually at the outreach center on Fridays. His favorite dishes are stew or chicken fettucini.
“I love anything with beef or chicken,” he said.
Bean said the other two helpers are terrific to work with, and the outreach kitchen is a fun place to share his cooking skills.
“I love Kate. She’s my buddy. We could use a whole lot more people like Kate in the world.
During the summer months, lunch is usually served only once a week.
“I just wish other people would volunteer,” McDonald said. “I think it’s very important and it gets you out in the community. It helps you get to know people and it helps others.”
Austin Johnson/Tribune file U.S. Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers leads a round of applause for Army veteran Dennis McDonald, of Clarkston, in October at the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 1443 in Clarkston. He had been awarded the Bronze Star, the Purple Heart and the Air Medal for his military service during the Vietnam War. He’s one of the trio who serve free lunches to vets.“I feel very blessed to have so many dedicated volunteers. They are what make this place work. I could use a few more hosts, if anyone is interested.”

Celebrating with Donna is her beloved husband of 38 years, Calvin “Skip” Norman, her seven children, 22 grandchildren, nine stepgrandchildren, 21 great-grandchildren and five stepgreat-grandchildren, as well as extended family and close friends.
Donna enjoys gardening, sewing, crocheting, watching the great-grandkids participate in their sports, and spending time with family and friends. Currently, she is assembling the family tree, which is truly a labor of love.
With her continued love, grace, guidance and Christian faith, the family has remained very close. She continues to keep all her family in line.
A celebration will be held June 10 at Towne Square in Lewiston.
Anna Marie Eier’s party is 2-5 p.m. May 20. Friends and family are invited to come get comfy on her refurbished 70-year-old redwood furniture on the patio of her Lewiston home, 1403 15th Ave., and share stories of life.
Marie loves living in her home with her cat, Boots. With help from family and her friend Brenda Beleiu, her goal is to live there until the Good Lord calls her home.
Meanwhile, weekly plans include attending Congregational Presbyterian church every Sunday, Jim Osborn’s exercise class at the church
Three of Marie’s favorite monthly activities are: Having lunch with her retired nurses group; attending the Idaho Federation of Republican Women’s club luncheon (she is a past president of the Nez Perce County chapter of IFRW); and wearing bright red clothes to Nez Perce County Republican Central Committee meetings.
You may recognize Marie’s conservative thoughts when reading her letters to the editor of the Lewiston Tribune. She reads the paper faithfully every morning.
Marie welcomed two new great-great-grandchildren this year. She enjoys visits with her loving family members, and faith in God gives meaning and purpose to her life.
