The Columbia Gorge Discovery Center will host a public memorial for former Wasco County Judge Bill Hulse on Sunday at 2:30. Hulse passed away on March 11 at the age of 99. He served as County Judge from 1983 to 1991 during the height of the Rajnesshpuram commune, and local historian Susan Buce says he was instrumental in the establishment of the Discovery Center. Hulse was a wheat farmer, pilot, helped establish Columbia River Bank, and was president of the Oregon Wheat Association and National Wheat Association.
