On June 21, five members of the Cathlamet Woman's Club donned orange vests and picked up litter along SR 4 west of Milepost 35. A passing motorist was so impressed that he stopped and handed one of them a folded green-back, which--upon close inspection, turned out to be a one hundred-dollar bill! Whoever said virtue is its own reward might have been a little off. Not only is the highway a little cleaner, but club coffers a mite more full!

Last weekend, it seemed like all the old cars in the whole area were driving down SR 4. What a wonderful sight, seeing all the cars and bringing back lots of old memories for many of us. I hear that the Car Show in Skamokawa was once again a huge success. I was happy to finally get a chance to mow the lawn again after all the moisture we had been getting.

Of course, while we were having rain, it was sunny and dry in Portland, so maybe you got lucky and went to an area where it was a little bit drier than we were, as it seemed to differ every 10 or 20 miles. Memorial Day was actually quite nice so at least many of the services held for veterans on that day were made much more pleasant. The Greenwood Cemetery looked...
