Happy 150th Oregon!


Today-- February 14th --is Oregon's 150th birthday. In my desk at work I have a commemorative coin minted for the centennial in 1959, back when Mark Hatfield was a young governor. I wish I could be in Oregon today to celebrate but will pass on my good wishes to all Oregonians virtually.

Happy Birthday Oregon!

Here's a gift for everyone: a link to an audio podcast of the entire 1959 Stan Freberg musical production Oregon! Oregon! Listen and enjoy!
