" Last week's picture, below, drew a number of responses, who recognized pioneer Ezra Meeker and his oxen, who retraced the Oregon Trail and dedicated a marker in what is now City Park, next to Union Street in 1906. Loyal Quackenbush added that among those in the picture are Mrs. Wintworth Lord and Henry Steens. Terray Harmon noted that the dog in the photo also made the trip with Meeker, who was fond of re-enacting his earlier journeys and did it several times, even at an advanced age. And both Linda Glanden and Susan Buce identified the young boy in the front row standing by the dog with his head bowed as their grandfather, Roy T. Johnson. He was both a long-time member of the pioneer association and a member of the first PUD (Public Utilities District) board in The Dalles."
