I had the pleasure of meeting Bernice four or five times when they visited Lyle and Helen Damewood in the Christmas Valley and Hampton area. This was in the early to mid 1980's. They were still in the Oakridge/Cottage Grove area.

Bernice's brother Clifford Ellsworth Damewood lived in Central Oregon (mostly Powell Butte) and was my ex-husband's grandfather. He died around 1991 and is buried in the Redmond, OR cemetary. They had a sister named Bertha who lived in Roseburg or Grants Pass, I believe.
