It was back in 1977 when Dave Mysinger made the move to Corbett. Getting married to Twila, they both moved into a lovely Cape Cod style home on Hurlburt Road. Adding on a master bed and bath, they stayed for 20 years! In the summer of 1997 they designed and built their dream home further north in Corbett. With a magnificent view of the Columbia River Gorge, they appreciate how little traffic they get on their road. With a Montana river rock fireplace and vaulted cedar ceilings, they are both quite content! Twila is retired and Dave is "mostly" retired from his 40 year career with Baxter Auto Parts, still working on occasion. After 12 years in Corbett, Dave had a change of heart. Not being involved in the community, he did a 180 degree turn! Currently the treasurer for NEMCCA (Northeast Multnomah County Community Association), he is concerned about keeping Corbett's voice alive in the county and sheriff's office. Dave also was the head of the Volunteers in the Gorge that started in 2000. They are now disbanded, but an offshoot is the current Corbett Citizen's Patrol. Dave was on the Corbett Water Dept. budget committee for 15 years, ten as chairperson, and stepped down in 2010. Currently he is a volunteer with the U.S. Forest Service, with a time commitment of 8-10 days per month. When Dave is not working for Baxter or volunteering, he can be seen around his home either woodworking or restoring cars. He and Twila also love to travel in their motor home. Last year they went to Alaska for six weeks, but they usually never stay much longer than that anywhere. Dave says he is a real "home body" and usually has a yearning to get back to Corbett!
