Orville was my roommate our first year at college. We remained good friends and had many adventures together. He was a great guy. R.I.P.
In retirement he became very active in Boy Scouts again. Here he is a few years ago, 2nd from Left.
Tom Britton
Orville's dad and my dad shared the same office building on Oak Forest Drive.

Marvin Britton was our family lawyer. Here is a 1956 portion of Ella Blvd from the City Directory that shows his office.

For those who knew the family, Orville's only sibling, Elizabeth Ann, passed away 12-22-25 after a long fight with cancer. She was 71. She married a good friend of mine, John Kelly, in 1991 (as I recall) and they lived in Tigard OR, a suburb of Portland.
