Sunday was the annual SDOP Statehood Banquet at the Multnomah Athletic Club in Portland. It's an event that I enjoy because there, for that event, a feeling of community. We all descend from people who came to Oregon before it was a state. I enjoy it because unlike many of the "history and genealogy related events" I attend, there are a fair number of junior numbers who are learning the value of the events that have affected who they are and will become. I think that's important.
I talked the parents into attending with me. We had a fabulous meal, and some very nice conversations with our table-mates. It was a nice way to spend a Sunday.
