were "all" in Medford in 48/49. Actually, we were living with my grandparents

we lived in Seneca, Kinzua and Camp Five (which I understand was also called

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>
