Highway 44 from Highway 35 is now open.  Beware of winter rocks and debris on the road, and be careful at the corners...watch your speed.

Baldwin Staff family member Bert Clark passed away on April 26.   We will all miss Bert, his smile and friendly nature, and the many services he rendered for Baldwin.

From the Hood River Newspaper:

Berton Arthur Clark Sr., 84, of Dufur, Ore., went home to be with the Lord with his family by his side on April 26, 2009.

Bert was born Sept. 10, 1924, in Laramie, Wyo., but grew up in Blythe, California.  In May of 1947 he married Phyllis M. White and the couple had four sons: Terry, Larry, Bert Jr. and Mike.

Bert proudly served his country in the U.S. Navy during World War II and was trained as a diesel mechanic. He held this capacity most of his working life. He also worked for the Easter Seal Society as a camp caretaker.

Bert was preceded in death by his wife of 57 years, Phyllis, and son Bert Jr. He is survived by sons and daughters-in-law Terry and Jude, Larry and Helen and Mike and Kathy; and three grandkids, Brandy, Brian and Amber.

A memorial service will be held at Hood River Church of the Nazarene (2168 Belmont Ave.) on Saturday, May 9, at 3 p.m. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Hood River Church of the Nazarene and the Dufur Ambulance Volunteers. Gardner Funeral Home handled cremation arrangements.

Members of the Camp Baldwin Staff Alumni Association are collecting donations to rebuild the campfire bowl seating and stage at Camp Baldwin. The stage has been in service since the early 1980's and is in need of replacement. Likewise, audience seating is in need of replacement.

Any and all donations are appreciated and will help toward providing a comfortable and safe bowl for the traditional American Heritage program at Camp Baldwin.

Those who wish to help may make a pledge to donate, or may make a donation right now.  If you'd like to pledge, click here .  If you'd like to make an online donation with credit card, click here .
