in fund raising to build the N. B. Senior Center, and subsequently

We are very excited about our successful computer club for seniors.
It has been a startling performance in coordinating and conducting the
many classes for our members and the selection of speakers at our
meetings have been most interesting. We would like to contribute
to the continuing success of our club.

| Val Jones
Twelve years ago Val (Schroeder) Jones moved to
Brookings from her beloved Michigan to be with her brother, after her
former husband passed away. She met and married Melvin Jones a
retired teacher, minister and former State of Oregon job counselor.
They reside in Coos Bay.
Val grew up with the invention of the typewriter or so it seems to her.
She has pursued her love of writing with a book of published poetry and
is struggling with two unfinished books. One being "Narcissa,
Sac and I” experiences of a trip taken in '93 of the Oregon Trail
(in reverse), comparable to Narcissa Whittman and Sacagawea's trips to
the west. In previous years Val had worked for the Chicago

newspapers. Val was township clerk in Michigan until her
resignation, enabling her to move west. She is a

After spending four years in the Air Force from 1950 to 1954, I spent
the majority of my adult life working for the Oregon Air National Guard
as an electronics technician. I was transferred to Coos Bay in 1981, and
retired in 1989.
My wife and I belong to the North Bend Presbyterian Church, where I am
an Elder. We both like to travel and try to make at least one trip per
year. My hobby is golf, although due to health problems, I have not been
able to play much this year. I hope that changes soon.
As for computers, I am a beginner, but learning more all the time thanks
to the members of this club.

we
have found a "home" here in Coos Bay, having made many friends
through
the Bonsai, Fuchsia and Rhododendron Societies. We were on the
Board of
Friends of Shore Acres for six years and I served as President in
1996-97. I have also been on the Boards of the Coos Bay Sister
City
Association and the Coos Art Museum. I was instrumental in
starting or

of same for 8 years. I rejoined BASCC a year ago and look forward
to
helping out in any way I can.
