To the Editor:

Nice article about the store in Camp Sherman ("One hundred years of a country store," The Nugget, June 27, page 1).

Interesting to note that Katherine and Clarence Smith were left out of the article. They owned the store from late 1940s until Mary Lou and Larry Loar purchased the store from them.

Both of their children, Tom and Sandy Smith, grew up at the store. Tom went to first grade in the old log school-house. They both went to school in Camp Sherman until coming into Sisters to go to high school. Tom is still alive and lives in Sisters.

Would be nice to see that someone who grew up and continues to live locally be included. At least contacted to review some of his 20-plus years of history.
