<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 grandparents
on Bellinger Lane, at Minear Road, towards Jacksonville.

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.

<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>
