The Lyle High Alumni Reunion committee met on Sunday to finalize the reunion plans. As of Sunday there are over 100 signed up to come. They are coming from Texas, California, Nevada, and Colorado and of course Oregon and Washington. This little community has representatives all over the world.
Jim and Eileen Brashers are inviting those who know her mother Alice Morgan to join them in celebrating her 90th birthday at the Brashers residence at 33 Lyle/Snowden Rd. from 1 to 4 p.m. on Saturday, July 1.
Another Brashers hitting the media was Preston, son of Jim and Kathy and grandson of Jim and Eileen Brashers. He was a first time entry in the 2006 Olympic Discovery Marathon, which was held on the Washington Coast Sunday, June 11. The course ran from Squim to Port Angeles, which he ran the 26 miles in 2:35:47, (more than 12 minutes faster than last year's winning time). Way to go Preston!
Karen Jasperson took a bad fall at her home on Thursday. She had to have surgery and is still in the hospital in The Dalles recovering.
Tina, wife of Jim Anderson, passed away after a long battle with cancer. She was a positive person that brought understanding, acceptance and support to her fellow cancer victims. Although a White Salmon resident, she was an active member in Lyle's Sundowner's RV Club. Those who knew and loved her will miss the ray of sunshine she brought with her.
Churches in Lyle are United Methodist, 403 Klickitat St. and Lyle Celebration Center, 715 Washington St.
Taken from the History of Klickitat County, Washington published by Klickitat County Historical Society in 1982: "The Tuthills arrived at the Burgland place, about six miles from the Klickitat River on the Glenwood road, on March 31, 1931. Eight inches of snow fell that night. The children not being used to snow, all had a "ball" for a few days."
"Floyd Boyer, now of White Salmon, plowed their first garden with his team. The family survived that first summer on wheat ground through a coffee mill, apples, skim milk, and a little goat meat. Trips to soda Springs, on the Klickitat, for blackberries and fish helped too. Food from the dry land garden, and part of a bear and two cubs treed by Ray Cox's hounds and Whitefish caught by Oscar Lauber also supplemented their diet."
Grandmother -- a wonderful mother with lots of practice.
