Samuel Boehlke Became separated from dad in woods
A public memorial service for the 8-year-old Portland boy who
was lost at Crater Lake National Park in October is scheduled
for next week.
The service for Samuel Boehlke will be held at the First
Presbyterian Church, 1200 S.W. Alder St. in Portland, at 2 p.m.
Saturday, Nov. 25.
"We invite Sam's friends and the entire community to the
service, including rescue personnel and their families, who have
sacrificed for us," Kirsten Becker, the boy's mother, said in a
statement.
The boy became separated from his father Oct. 14 in the woods
along the lake's north rim. Search and rescue crews joined
family members in trying to locate the boy before autumn snows
halted the search earlier this month.
The family hopes to resume the search when snows clear next
year.
