Ada Wyn Parker-Loy passed away on Aug. 16 at home in The Dalles at the age of 98.

Every Monday morning in July, Odell area locals Buck Parker and Fran Finney volunteer their time to give tours of the historic Hood River downtown.

Ada Wyn Parker felt it was her patriotic duty to work at a military base in California during World War II, but never thought about the fact that she was starting a social movement. Parker, 94, has always gone by the name Wyn and was the first “Rosie the Riveter” to build and repair airplanes during World War II.

What downtown business is rumored to have a friendly ghost?
