E. Merritt Hulst

My name is Kathy Earle Anderson, also a 1967 Pacific University, Forest Grove OR graduate! I moved to Modesto CA from Seattle Sept 1967 & was a social worker for the disabled & old age security for 2 yrs.
Will always remember riding horses w Merritt on his family ranch in Hughson, enjoyed family meals with them; at 1 dinner Ed told him "to get a job!" Soon after. he lived in a trailer on a turkey farm in Turlock. Visited him there only once when I was chased by those fast-running...

My condolences to the Hulst family. Merritt came to Hughson High for his senior year and we played together on the Hughson basketball team, winning the TVL championship. Merritt played hard and he played to win but I never saw him lose his composure or his temper, he always had this big grin on his face which was frustrating at times when I thought we should be showing a little more attitude toward the other team. But that was Merritt, impossible to anger, and that's why we loved him. ...

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. I remember Merritt very well and the part that he played in our family's lives - praying for God's peace for you all!

My condolences to the Hulst family. So many fond memories of your dad while attending the Waterford Church of the Brethren. Some of my favorite memories was going up to the snow in your dad’s Volkswagen bus. And many backpacking trips in the Sierra’s. And Camp Peaceful Pines! Your dad’s woodwork was incredible. My dad still has his surname sign hanging on the front of the house. Your dad truly cared about people. My love and prayers....
