Kitty is a former Oregon state legislator and WAND national board member, and a long-time friend. It was great to be with her again and hear a bit about her work as mayor.

Marie had suggested that I talk with Dr. Richard Clinton in the Poliltical Science Departmetn at Oregon State about "Last Best Chance." Dr. Clinton was warm and welcoming, and eager to talk about the film. He and his wife Rosalie invited me to stop by their home in Yachats on Sunday where this picture was taken.

I spent the night in a yurt at Sunset Bay State Park just south of Coos Bay. My journal describes how much I appreciated this shelter: "I am so lucky to be inside a yurt and not a tent because (a) there is a lamp and a table in here for writing, and (b) it's cold and the yurt is a bit warmer (maybe a lot) than a tent would be."
