<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2>Hi Mary,</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2> I used to live in Portland and I
had a very dear friend in OC, and haven't heard from her for years, she doesn't
respond to my Christmas Cards, I wonder if you could do a 'look up' in the phone
book for me.. Her name is Dorothy Becker, her husband's name is
Harold. They lived on Mollala Ave.. Thanks in advance. Hope
the cookies didn't burn.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>Happy Holidays to all of you. You are keeping me
from my baking.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I well remember winter of 49-50. We were new from
other side of the Cascades and thought it weird that my husband was sent
home from work because it was "too cold". He bundled up our little ones
and pulled them up and down the street on a new sled in Oregon City, singing
"Muuule Traaaaain". No one else was out and about......Mary, still in
OC</FONT></DIV>

<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

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

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>
