A mission to find great grandfather
To the Editor:
I am hoping to get information on my great grandfather. William Frasier (Frazier) born in 1837 in New York, died in 1907 in Glenwood, Wash. He moved to Camas Prairie with his wife Malinda Windle Frazier in 1876 from Portland, Ore. They adopted two children, Frank and Ethel while living in Glenwood.
He was post master in Fulda, Wash., from 1882 through 1891.
Anyone having information on William Frasier (Frazier) please contact Dolores Borland, 1333 N.E. 136th Ave, Portland, OR 97230. My phone number is (503) 255-2548. I do not have email, and I will take collect calls.

Grundei has no axe to grind
To the Editor:
Gwendolyn Grundei has, obviously, a very confusing name. Can you imagine how often she has to spell it out for people? However, as District Court Judge, I believe that she will bring clarity to the bench. She has served her community well as a prosecuting attorney and as both a public and private defense attorney. Her goal is to make reasoned and fair decisions that can be understood by those who are most affected by them. She represents no special interests and has no “axe to grind” and I believe that she is the best choice to uphold the awesome responsibility that a judge must assume. Her election will be good for Goldendale and for Klickitat County.
I urge you to vote for Gwendolyn Grundei for East District Court Judge.

Can a Yeti really blush?
To the Editor:
I was first amused and then concerned with the safety of the man who wrote the “Unusual Wildlife” letter.
I have never heard of miniature Yetis! I wonder what he is doing up at 2:30 a.m. and didn’t know that those types of mushrooms grew during bone-dry spells!
Also I’m curious how he could tell apart the sexes and parented likenesses, or even see that she was blushing! It seems that the six-inch fur/hair would make it difficult to distinguish anything! So they must be extremely well endowed and very friendly to be so close. Do they meet at the coffee shop?
I must admit that I’m a little skeptical when a story starts out with “this story is as true as I can recall.”
Thank you, Sentinel, for a very good laugh.
P.S.: We have some unusual wildlife up here also. But if they are on two feet, it’s because they are resting their front paws on your shoulders while nibbling on your ears. And they can’t write letters to the editor, either. Ha!
