A Nightmare in Oregon
Sometimes
I guess we all wonder – when does the violence, horror and death end???
We
just had a mass killing in a college town not far from Portland – Medford,
Oregon. Ten students killed and the killer was shot as well.
Today
I only want to ask all of you to hold good thoughts for the parents who are
suffering such a great loss.
Thank
you.

wrinkle the skin, but to give
up enthusiasm wrinkles the
soul.

I believe that horses bring out the
best in us. They judge us not by how we look, what we're wearing or how
powerful or rich we are, they judge us in terms of sensitivity, consistency,
and patience. -Clare Bolding

you were born with two ears and one mouth. -Terri Farley

What Can I Say?
I'm interested in almost everything. Use to like to travel, but it's too expensive now. I take Tai Chi classes, swim, volunteer in a Jump-start program for pre-schoolers. I'm an avid reader and like nearly everyone these days I follow politics avidly. I'm a former teacher and Special Projects Coordinator for a Telecommunications company, Assistant to the President of a Japanese silicon wafer manufacturing company. Am now enjoying retirement -- most of the time. I have two daughters, one son-in-law and two sons scattered all over the country. No grandchildren.
