I haven’t been to Dufur since I was an 18 year old long hair. It was not a pleasant experience for all the usual reasons of the day. I have looked at passing through there on the way home though. But I’ve also pondered stabbing myself in the eye with a screwdriver……..and have yet to follow through……..
My sister lives near Dufur. Her step-grandson, who attended Dufur High School, won a lawsuit against a female teacher who had sexually molested him. Talk about the news of the town for a long, long time.
My father drowned on a fishing accident near Dufur at Shearer's bridge in 1968. I was in Vietnam at the time. My younger brother was with my father and witnessed the whole tragic event.
Wow, Lanny...so sorry to hear that. That must have been terrible. Particularly since you were around the world at the time. My sis lives on Fifteeen Mile Rd. in The Dalles.
My great aunt lived in Dufur most of her adult life, I haven't been through there since her funeral but I just remember they had a big ass house with an awesome basement. Between there and Burns (where another great aunt lived) it was two places that the world seems to have passed by.
Are they that similar? I've never been to or through Dufur (that I'm aware of), but I have been to Mosier several times. Nice little place. I just imagined they were a bit different based on Mosier being closer to the Columbia, Dufur further South/inland.
The guy that used to sit next to me at Blazer games was a car dealer and started giving his tickets to anyone who bought a new car from him in the Dalles. I briefly had an encounter with another guy who was a pre med student from the Dalles who cheated with my ex wife before she was my ex. I still remember the son of a bitch's first name, Claire.
