[or-roots] Challenge - SPALDING, Bruce Wayne

[Cuprum4445 at aol.com]

Thanks for telling us about Margie Boule's Sunday Oregonian column about  the 
Spalding letter getting to it's proper destination.  It's been fun  reading 
the listers' comments about that family.  What a Christmas gift  that letter 
will be for the family!  I don't read the Oregonian very often,  now that I live 
in Idaho, so I appreciate Bill's updating this mail list.   True genealogists 
enjoy helping others solve family puzzles, not just their  own.
 
Some years ago my husband was attending a business related seminar at the  
Portland head office.  At that time we lived in the tiny town of  Prairie City, 
in Grant County, so touring Portland was a treat for me.  I  used a self 
guided walking tour book to see such interesting sites.  I had  lunch in a charming 
little cafe in Old Town, having my first taste of  Stash's Crepe Fair tea, 
with my croissant sandwich.  It seems that cafe was  in a bakery and had 
wonderful cheese choices.  It was if I'd died and gone  to culinary heaven.  The 
dining area was small, and in walked Margie Boule  with other people for lunch.  
Margie was an Oregon TV journalist then, so I  recognized her.  I thought she 
was so beautiful and charming.   Contrary to my normal impulses, I didn't walk 
over and ask for her  autograph.  It's good to hear she's still involved in 
journalism - a lovely  lady.

For  those that didn't read Margie Boule's column in the Sunday 
Oregonian, in  the "O" section, the letter got delivered to surviving 
family in the  Seattle area and they are planning to gather to open it 
(was it?)  Christmas Eve.
