Roseburg celebrates sister city relationship with Aranda de Duero in Spain

The News Review, June 30th, 2009

Roseburg, Ore., and Aranda de Duero, Spain, have many similarities.

And Monday, they created one more common bond.

A couple of dozen people gathered near the future site of Southern Oregon Wine Institute's viticulture and enology winery teaching building to dedicate a new street to one of Roseburg's sister cities, Aranda de Duero.

“This is a tangible symbol of the sister-city relationship between Roseburg and Spain,” said Hans-Dieter (“H.D.”) Honscheid, president of the Roseburg Aranda Connection program, before a sign was unveiled marking the new street.

The street will eventually be the driveway to the planned winery teaching building at Umpqua Community College.
