Most people who knew Les probably know by now that he died a couple of weeks ago after a year-long struggle with cancer. KINK Radio has been a long-time client of mine and was Les’ on-air home for almost three decades. For 20 years thousands of Portlanders woke up to Les’ morning show five days a week. Having had the opportunity to work with with him many times I can say that he was as nice a guy in person as he seemed on the air. The image posted above is being used as cover art for a CD which will be sold at Les’ memorial concert on Sunday May 17th. The proceeds will be used to help his wife pay for his outstanding medical bills. Though it’s a small contribution, I’m glad that I could be a part of this event.

The Archives of Portland
Located in a building which used to be a trash incinerator, the archives sit at the north end of the city in what is now Chimney Park. They house all public records dating back to 1851. Portland is one of the few US cities to maintain a public archive.
I met Brian a couple of months ago while working on an article for the Portland Sentinel.
Happy Easter
It was another year at the community center’s Egg Extravaganza! Everyone is a winner because the eggs are so easy to find, but Anika always has a great time.
Happy Birthday to ME!
The new site is live!
Jason has survived his 5th sinus surgery. It’s been two weeks and he’s doing great. He’s just a bit busy catching up on work. So I wanted to put up a quick post to say, “It’s Live.” The next incarnation of Jason’s website is now live. I hope it will show-case his talent well. I hope it’s easy to navigate. Let us know if you find bugs. We are still working out the kinks.
