He is currently president of the Southwestern Oregon Cranberry club, which has 80 to 90 members. He was born in nearby Co- quille, which is the county seat, on February 5, 1911, so he is a true native son of Oregon. His father is W. R. Dean, who was with Standard Oil, but now re- tired. He attended school in Ban- idon and was graduated from JBandon High in 1928. He then went to Oregon State College, as he had decided he wanted to be a pharmacist and took a course in that but found the work too con- fining.
