for telling us about Margie Boule's Sunday Oregonian column about the
Spalding letter getting to it's proper destination. It's been fun
reading the listers' comments about that family. What a Christmas gift
that letter will be for the family! I don't read the Oregonian very
often, now that I live in Idaho, so I appreciate Bill's updating this mail
list. True genealogists enjoy helping others solve family puzzles, not
just their own.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P></DIV>

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">Some
years ago my husband was attending a business related seminar at the
Portland head office. At that time we lived in the tiny town of
Prairie City, in Grant County, so touring Portland was a treat for me.
I used a self guided walking tour book to see such interesting
sites. I had lunch in a charming little cafe in Old Town, having
my first taste of Stash's Crepe Fair tea, with my croissant sandwich.
It seems that cafe was in a bakery and had wonderful cheese choices.
It was if I'd died and gone to culinary heaven. The dining area was
small, and in walked Margie Boule with other people for lunch. Margie
was an Oregon TV journalist then, so I recognized her. I thought she
was so beautiful and charming. Contrary to my normal impulses, I
didn't walk over and ask for her autograph. It's good to hear she's
still involved in journalism - a lovely lady.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P></DIV>
