For those of you who have not met LeRoy Steece, this is definitely a man we would like to see back in the ASCO fold (he couldn’t make our Thursday meetings). He is a long‐time La Pine resident, who retired in 1994 from nearly 30 years of public service, most of it with the Forest Service in Oakridge and Crescent, Oregon. He returned to college to finish his BA in Anthropology after retiring. LeRoy Steece demonstrates expert flintknapping (Note the Bluetooth technology ‐ what a contrast) LeRoy was the first permanent employee at the Crescent District to work in the Heritage Program, having come from the timber department in the late 1970s. He is an excellent flintknapper and con‐ tinues to advocate enforcing the laws protecting cultural resources. Despite his "approaching senior status" age, LeRoy could probably out walk and out work many people half his age. Crescent District Archaeologist, Leslie Hickerson, gained invaluable information from working with LeRoy during her first three years at Crescent. Since retiring, LeRoy has continued his interest and support of agency archaeologists, while also pursuing his many other interests and staying involved in his children's and grandchildren's lives. ‐‐ Leslie Hickerson Crescent Lake PIT Project is Full: Crescent Archaeologist Leslie Hickerson reports that all posi‐ tions are filled with five ASCO folks and seven others recruited through PIT. An information packet will be emailed to the ASCO participants before the end of May. The Oregon Archaeological Society has come out with a new book!
