<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I forget the year, but it was some time in the late
1940's, but it was before 1948.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>The old bank building on Long Street is now gone, but for

result of a holdup.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>My brother (the late Doug Houk), was playing down on the
Santiam River, near the covered bridge at Foster. He saw some fellows hide
"something" in the bushes near that bridge. He told our father about it,
and dad went into town and called the FBI.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>This story was reenacted on one of the radio crime
programs that were so popular back then.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>In 1948 we moved from Foster to near the east end of Long
Street. Guess who lived next door? The family of the young man,
fresh out of jail, who was party to that robbery!!!
YIKES!!!!!!!</FONT></DIV>
