Central Oregon has been my home all of my life with the exception of one year when the family lived in Australia. My husband Marvin and I came to La Pine from Bend in 1953. Russell Industries was the name of our business. It included road building, a small sawmill and later a furniture factory. We raised 5 children together, Vic, Stan, Sharon Riffle, Neal and Kim. They all live in the La Pine area. I have 12 grandchildren and 18 great-grand children. I am active in the Living Water Church, the La Pine Senior Center, The Desert Roses and the Red Hat Club.
Allyson Maes
My husband Joseph and I have called La Pine home since late 2002. It was that ride on The Cascade Lakes Highway that clinched the deal! I have been a Registered Nurse for over 30 years, mostly in the Air Force, from which I retired in 1999. We were fulltime Rv’ers , until we bought our home here and became on again off again “Snowbirds”.
Twice, in the past 7 years I have been “The Prairie House Nurse”. I recently retired for the third (last?) time in June of 2009. I have been honored to serve on the board “since the beginning”. Joseph and I love the La Pine area and appreciate opportunities to support the community.

Tiffany Zeiler
Tammy Doty
This is my 16th year at La Pine Elementary and 14th living in La Pine, so I have a vested interest in the children, families and community. Being involved in the Ford Family Community Leadership program helped me see that there is a lot that can be done in a community when a group of committed people come together for a common goal. I hope that by being on the board, I can make a positive impact in the area of health care for many people in the La Pine community.
