<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Garamond">Timberline’s 75th Anniversary is not just about history. It is about how a living history provides meaning and momentum into the future. Many of Guthrie’s songs such as “Ain’t Gonna Be Treated This Way” and “Better World” were born out of the Great Depression and spoke of a better day. Those songs, like the Timberline project itself, were an expression of the people. They spoke of determination and perseverance. The Bonneville Power Administration hired Guthrie during the mid-1940s and he wrote the beautiful collection of Columbia River songs will living in the Columbia River Gorge and up on Mt. Hood. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
