Hello: Thanks for visiting my web page.
The picture on the left is Luvern and me in 2001. The right one is in Hong Kong in 1991.
I was born in The Dalles, Oregon and graduated from The
Dalles High School (Class of 1955) and from Oregon State University (Class of 1959). After
graduation, I spent 2 years in the army. After the army, I spent most of
my rat race years working for the Oregon Dept. of Transportation in Salem
and Portland, from which I retired in 1991. I married Luvern in 1972.
After retirement I took some computer classes at Portland
Community College and learned enough about computers that I became a
volunteer computer instructor at several locations in Portland.
Of my two brothers; Ed, the oldest, class of 1950, died in January 2010 and Jerry, class of 1952, lives in
Portland with his wife, Olivia (Thoraldson sp?), class of 1953.
Go ahead and make my day: e-mail me at: ronfroebe@yahoo.com.

CBS TV crew spotlights Google in The Dalles
By RODGER NICHOLS
of The Chronicle
In late June, CBS-owned and -operated KPIX (Channel 5) San Francisco sent a reporter and camera person to The Dalles to report on the construction of the Google facility in The Dalles.
Veteran technology reporter Sue Kwon and photographer Kelly Ryan spent two days in The Dalles, following a widely-reprinted June 14 article in The New York Times about Googles arrival here. Versions of that report appeared in the London Times and several other European newspapers.
That story aired during the 11 p.m. newscast at KPIX Monday night and a shorter version was scheduled to be released to the CBS feed and available to CBS affiliates nationwide either Tuesday or Wednesday.
Portland affiliate KOIN-TV (Channel 6) plans to air the piece either Tuesday or Wednesday night, according to producer Jeff Allen.
The story interviews Andrea Klaas of the Port of The Dalles, City Manager Nolan Young (misidentified as Robb Van Cleave, who is The Dalles mayor), antique shop owner Henry Sheets and jobseeker James Nichols.
Those with high-speed computer connections can see the video online at the address below, though they will have to sit through a short IKEA promotional ad first:

The
Dalles High, Class of 1955, 40th Reunion of 1995:
Reunion of 1980
ALL OTHER NAMES:
Google in The Dalles
How did The Dalles get its name?
The word dalles is generally thought to derive from the French plural of dalle, meaning "gutter" or, possibly, "tube" or "conduit". ... Local history suggest that The Dalles, Oregon, a place where the Columbia River once moved swiftly between steep canyon walls, was named by French Canadian trappers: the steplike rapids created by the flow of water over columnar basalt might well resemble water moving through an enormous gutter lined with flagstone. The Grand Dalles refers to the great rapids east of the present town, which were inundated by the backwaters of newly built Dalles dam in 1957...."
What does the word "dalles" mean?
As suggested by Kim Barnes, and published in the Portland Oregonian, Oct. 1, 2006.
I walked the Portland Marathon of 26.2 miles, October, 2002 in 7 hours & 52 minutes. I'm glad I did it once just to see if I could, but I was very stiff and sore for a couple of days and I will never do that again.
Two of my favorits.

SPELLING: Some names were difficult to read in the e-mail of the picture, so please send me the correct spelling. Thank you.
My father, Earl Wayne Froebe, 1907-1976. Undated picture taken probably when he was the top Mason in Oregon in 1955 or "56.
The original picture did NOT have a bright light above his head and it got there because of the flash from the digital
camera my niece, Heidi Froebe was using to convert the old photograph into a digital picture for the computer.
I had this picture for about 40 years and put it my scrap book and forgot about it. Then on my 80th birthday in July 2016 at a little
party I found it.
Dad was a member of The Dalles Masonic Lodge. His casket bearers were: Robert Umbarger, Pat Crawford, Ben Eckley, Robert Montgomery, Lewis Nichols and Ed McKune. He was retired from being a surveyor for the Pacific Power and Light Company. He liked to collect rocks, especially thunder eggs, the Oregon State rock.
