Hi all,

 

My father name was Edgar L Pickler and my mother  name was Lois M Pickler.
My family lived in Portland between 1940 and 1954.  I was born in Portland
in 1945 at the Emanuel Hospital while we lived at Gales Lake.  When it was
decided to close Gals Lake and turn it into a rail yard.  We moved to Bonnie
Slope about 1953 when it was a small community and I went to school there in
the second grade.  I have a picture of the class but don't remember anyone.
I went to Portland last August and went to Bonnie Slope to if I recognized
where I lived but after 50 years it had changed so much I could not find
where our house was or any land mark I recognized.  We also went to the
Portland Zoo and found it was as wonderful as I remember when visiting as a
child.
