His smile was so contagious, it matched his slim physique. He often wore a red beret, his body healthy and so sleek. A shirt was excess baggage, what a character, this Walt! An enthusiastic human, never quick to point out fault. He surely dwarfed Goliath, a giant of a man was he! His heart was made of pure gold, he was gentle as could be. He was a health food --- nut, he ate no fatty pork or veal, He loved his fruit and veggies, peanut butter, and oatmeal. Yet --- he really had a --- sweet tooth, but this you already know,...

I have way more ideas than I have energy or know-how to bring to fruition. I have ideas for quilts. I have ideas for redecorating the house. I have ideas for how to gain control of the garden. And I have lots of ideas for the “betterment” of Odessa. Not that Odessa needs “betterment” – it’s a lovely community. Odessa has held up to the decline of rural America much better than many other communities. But I don’t think we can afford to rest on our laurels, and I think about i...

Odessa was a late bloomer when it came to electric power. It was not until August 22, 1910 that the lights went on. Other towns, including Harrington had been illuminated by electricity earlier, when the Washington Water Power’s line reached there. But Odessa had to wait until the line was extended farther to the west. The happy occasion was reported in The Odessa Record in its issue of August 26, 1910: The long-felt want has at last been filled in Odessa. Up to this time, the town has been without an adequate lighting s...

Bus service has come and gone in Odessa. When the North Central Highway was paved in 1927, the Washington Motor Coach System started service over part of the route, with a bus between Soap Lake and Spokane via Odessa and Harrington. In 1929, cross-state service through Odessa by way of either Ellensburg or Wenatchee was begun. Eventually, Washington Motor Coach was absorbed by Greyhound Lines, which continued to operate two daily buses in each direction between Spokane and Settle until 1983, when service to all points...

Hi, Odessa Record, Here's another epistle, which is "Aged" for printing, should you desire. So many do not realize how wealthy they are, living in this blessed country, even though they consider themselves poor. Yes, even those who receive welfare and food stamps are filthy rich compared to the billions who live in other parts of the world and live in cardboard and rusted out corrugated sheet metal one room shanties and who have to cook their meals over an open fire on the ground. Yes --- America is truly "The Promised Land"...
