<DIV><SPAN class=618144816-17122003><FONT color=#0000ff size=2>Well, guess we
were "all" in Medford in 48/49. Actually, we were living with my grandparents on
Bellinger Lane, at Minear Road, towards Jacksonville. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=618144816-17122003><FONT color=#0000ff size=2>Just the other
day I was telling my daughter about the donuts we watched being made in a store
window in Medford. They were batter donuts that plopped out in little
circles into hot fat. Yummm.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=618144816-17122003><FONT color=#0000ff size=2>I also remember
the "silver thaw", but we didn't call it that, as I recall. I do remember
the permanent rash around the legs from wet boots. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=618144816-17122003><FONT color=#0000ff size=2>Before Medford,
we lived in Seneca, Kinzua and Camp Five (which I understand was also called
Wetmore). Now, *there* were some winters! Of course I was a small child,
so was probably protected more, but I remember taking the "Goose" from Kinzua to
Camp Five because the roads were closed and that was the only way to get
there.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><STRONG>I was living in Medford</STRONG> <STRONG>by June of '49 but do
remember the Columbia River freezing over in Dec. of '48. Lived in
Montavilla until I was 12 (1840) then in Parkrose until 1949. Remember
walking to school during the silver thaws and the east wind - lots of fun.
Missed the rain when I first came down here. Ah, nostalgia!</STRONG></DIV>
