    I have lived in Boring for 45 years, having grown up eight miles away in Lower Logan. ln 1996 I began writing historical vignettes about the Sandy area. ln 2014 I published, through Arcadia Press, a pictorial history of Boring, and in 2015 one of Sandy, spending many hours of research in the Sandy Historical Museum. When a vacancy occurred in the Sandy Historical Society's board of directors, I was asked to join and leapt at the chance to be part of the Society's preservation of Sandy's history.

    I have always loved history and genealogy. I have worked at Clackamas County Bank in Sandy for over 42 years and have come to feel like l'm part of the community. Back then all the historical family names were still part of everyday life and were familiar faces around town. I have served on the board since 2014.

  • Austin Ernesti

    Board Member

    I moved with my family to Sandy in 2019 while pursuing a Master's degree in Museum Studies; as a midwest farm boy, I have a fascination with Oregon Forestry and Resource Management. I believe that museums no longer end at the parking lot and community outreach is the future of museum work. Museums are the connection between where we were and where we are going as a people; we need to look both backward and forward at the same time to judge where we are going. The Sandy Historical Society Museum is a place that connects the stories of every person that has ever existed to the people that are here today and I know it will be there to connect us to all of those that are yet to be born.

  • Heather Nguon

    Board Member

    I am a true born and raised Oregonian. I grew up in the Portland area then moved to Sandy 11 years ago. My husband and I have 3 daughters. I am a small business owner and enjoy baking, cooking and spending time with our girls at the barn teaching them how to ride our horse.
    I am first in my family to graduate college and have my AAS in Criminal Justice.
    I am also your Mrs. Sandy American competing for Mrs. Oregon America, (the official prelims for Mrs. America). This is my second year competing and during my time I have been able to build on my platform of bringing more resources to Sandy and rural Clackamas County for low income and houseless community members through various partnerships.
    I look forward to continuing to build relationships with fellow community members and paving a way for new positive changes in our Sandy community, working with each and every one of you.

    I was asked to serve on the board early in 2020. I am very interested in local History of Sandy and the Mt. Hood area, especially the Barlow Road extension of the Oregon Trail.
