PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENTS John Prewitt Memorial John Prewitt, familiar figure on Salem's streets, roads and trails, and a nationally ranked ultra marathoner, died May, 2007, age 60. He is remembered by his quiet generosity, his enthusiasm, expertise and patience. In his memory, a trailside bench with a memorial plaque will be erected in Bush Park, one of John’s favorite places. It will cost about $1500 and the goal is to have it in place this coming spring.
