Children's Home in Portland, which is still in existence serves
behavioral and emotionally disturbed kids now, but originally it was an
orphanage and adoption center. It started way back in the 1800's. I
don't know what records may still exist, but worth a call.</font><br>

THE FORT VANCOUVER TAPESTRY PROJECT<br>
<br>
The dream began in 1999.<br>
The mission: to honor and celebrate the history of Clark County,
Washington through the beauty and narrative of a hand-stitched tapestry.<br>
The result is the Fort Vancouver Tapestry, measuring 108 feet long and
28 inches high.<br>
It is believed to be the only textile narrative of this scope ever
created in the United States.<br>
Clark College. Vancouver, Washington<br>
<br>
Panel 45: The Covington House is a log house first used as a boarding
school located east of town. It was later moved into Vancouver and has
been cared for by the Vancouver Women’
s Club for over 50 years. Is Sasquatch a member?<br>
<br>
fwiw -- if there's one, there were probably others ... as in:<br>
