To the Editor:

This is to say "Thank You" to all who participated in the first event for our Sisters Centennial Celebration.

We thank those who were entries in the Heritage Parade on Sunday afternoon and to Alinda and Ernest for being our coordinators. To the Rotary Club for the Ice Cream Social and entertainment at the Village Green afterwards and to Paulina Springs and Elayne for hosting our Early Residents Social.

As the planning committee we look forward to sharing with you the other events planned for this month, "100 Years of Quilting" at the Outdoor Quilt show on July 14, the Wagon Train arrival on July 21, with story tellers and an antique quilt display, and the Block Party Picnic on July 28.

Sisters has 100 years of history and we're proud to share it with residents and visitor alike.

Sincerely,

The Centennial Planning Committee: Failed to execute CGI : Win32 Error Code = 3

To the Editor:

I am hoping someone can help me find the home my grandfather, Andy Johnson, built in 1969.

I've checked with the city and county; however, building records from back then are pretty limited.

The home was built right in town for my grandmother's cousin, who was a deaf woman named Sylvia, and her husband. My mother tells me Sylvia's husband owned a bowling alley in the Oakland, California area. They would have lived in Sisters in the 1970s and were probably in their 50s.

Not knowing the last name has made the search difficult. I am hoping someone remembers a sweet lady who, being deaf, "signed" to communicate, whose name was Sylvia, and where she might have lived.

My grandfather, a builder from Portland, passed on in 1993 at the age of 93 and I would love to find the home he built here in Sisters. Failed to execute CGI : Win32 Error Code = 3

Thanks to anyone who can help.
