Saving the Old Keizer School – Al Rasmus Oral History 2021
Saving the Old Keizer School - Al Rasmus Oral History 2021
In this August 2021 interview with Al Rasmus on the back patio of the old Keizer School, now Keizer Cultural Center, he shares some of the challenges and triumphs in moving, renovating and opening the building in December 1999.
Volunteers Al and his wife, Anne Rasmus, were instrumental in saving the old Keizer School. Al (Alfred) served as business manager from 1999 until 2015. In 1999 along with other business leaders and the KHF Board, a business plan was set up with the City of Keizer. Al continued to serve on the board through 2020 to ensure the financial stability of the Keizer Heritage Foundation’s project of making the building into a community center and museum.

    The biggest change is the amount of people and the traffic. She sounds like my older sister. She had horses and was always was riding her horses around mostly around the farm areas on Windsor Is. Rd. She rode her horse in the Keizer parade back in the late 50s. I remember Labish Stables which was around where Target is now. - Our house got flooded in the 1964 flood, on Joan Dr. Mom and I left and stayed with family. And dad stayed with the house to protect it from vandals. We had a two story house, so dad stayed on the second story with our german shepherd and cat. They would bring him food by helicopter, and dad would go out on the garage roof, which was flat, to get it. After that we had to live in our driveway in a mobile home until the house got repaired.

    I went to Keizer Elementary starting in 1966. I got lost the first day. I was in line to go to the lunch room and got switched over into the wrong line, and ended up in a second grade classroom. They had called my mother about me being lost. They finally found me in that classroom.
