Here is Rev. Louis L. Perkins' autobiography. Louis passed away February 15, 1993, just three days after his 91st birthday. Louis seemed like a fascinating individual. After reading his autobiography, please share any thoughts or memories you have of Louis. As the EDEO's first historiographer, Louis composed much of the Episcopal Diocese of Eastern Oregon's histories. Some of his titles include: "A History of the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, "You've Come a Long Way Baby, 50 Years", and "The Centennial Story of St. Peter's Episcopal Church, La Grande, Oregon". The EDEO is grateful for the historical and archival efforts of Rev. Louis Perkins.

I am Rev. Perkins granddaughter, the daughter of Dorothy Perkins Wysham. He was a wonderful inspiration to all of us throughout his life.

At one point, I sat Louis down with me and taped his interview with me on video. My intent was to make copies for the family, but reality stepped in and it never happened. I am searching through my archives to see if I can find the tapes. Please contact me if you have any interest.

I can't figure out how to see the Autobiography. Is it possible to get a copy. He was very instrumental in my life and I would like to read it, but that is not working for me on the website! Please!
