The Dalles Weekly Reminder, December 20, 1984
     Clyde W. (Wally) Beckett, 68, died Dec. 11 in a Bend hospital.  He was a 
former manager of The Dalles branch of U.S. National Bank.
     He was born June 15, 1916 in Bend and spent much of his early life in the 
Christmas Valley of Eastern Oregon where his parents had homesteaded.  He 
served in the U.S. Army as a Sergeant in WWII.
     Mr. Beckett was in the banking business for 40 years.  He managed the 
West Slope branch of U.S. National Bank from 1958 to 1963 then became manager 
of the bank in The Dalles.  He returned to Beaverton about 10 years ago and 
served as senior vice president of the bank's Eastern Oregon region until his 
retirement in 1979.  He moved to Black Butte Ranch 11 years ago.
     He was a past president of the Beaverton Chamber of Commerce, the 
Washington County United Fund, and West Slope Lions, the Salem Masonic Lodge 
No. 4 and The Dalles Elks Lodge.  He was treasurer of The Dalles CC for many 
years, and was a board member at The Dalles County Club, sang with the men's 
choir at the Elks Lodge, and was a member of the Hammond Organ Club at the 
Rotary.
     Survivors include his wife, Carolyn; two sons, Jerry, Hillsboro, and
