Hi Kristen,
I will go up on my own on Thursday so I can get work sponsorship. A return ride to Corvallis would be nice if possible for Phoebe and I!

Thank you, John – we’ll have to leave earlier this year because the boat  starts late afternoon!

Kristen, Carolyn and I think that we will be able to go. We just haven’t had time to think through all the things that are still to be scheduled that could be a problem. But we do not presently see any. We will pay our own way without LBsubsidy. And we should be able to give a couple of rides.
