Although largely replaced by Interstate 84, sections of the highway remain, including between North Powder and Baker City. Jayson Jacoby/Baker City Herald

A former Baker County couple whose daughter was killed in action in Iraq in 2008 is working with the Baker City Rotary Club to raise $2,000 for a sign to be installed near Baker City along Highway 30, which has been designated the Gold Star Families Memorial Highway.

Steve and Linda Ellis, who now live in Clackamas County, have made a donation and are working to ensure the sign is ready for the official dedication set for Sept. 29.
