Funny you bring up Willamette Skool of Law. I just posted the other day on the HHSE thread about Willamette. I used to ski at Willamette Pass Ski Area.
I had a good friend from AG Edwards in Bend, Or. I used to fly into either Portland or Eugene, stayed usually in Springfield, walking distance from the Univ. of Oregon (the Ducks). Eugene and Springfield, while nice, smells from the wood/paper factories. Bend is nice but on the dry side of the mountains.
Sometimes when I fly into Portland, I visit my aunt in Vancouver, WA, which is across the river/border and a 'burb of Portland.
But I did an IPO with Paulson Investments as a co-manager and I had to go to their offices in downtown Portland.
You and I have traveled to some strange places.
Living in Salem, OR is nothing to brag about, clown posting pics of smoking cigars.
