"If you call the Willamette Valley home, this story is for you. If you've ever driven along Interstate 5 and, as you worried about what to make for dinner, had your breath taken away by a Cascadian peak in evening light, then this story is for you. And if, after the light has faded, you've felt yourself somehow changed, then this story invites you to explore the changes and possibilities for the future of the Willamette Valley."

I was born and raised in Oregon City along the banks of the Willamette River. In the past 50 some years I have seen the entire state, backroads and all. Oregon has been the home for of over 5 generations of my family. It is a place that is blest with diversity of landscapes and climates, from the Pacific Ocean, high desert, and the awesome Cascade Mountain Range. The state commands respect. I can only wish that mankind does not spoil it beyond repair. I know that I am prepared to do the best that i can.
