AT Project Space for a meeting today I noted they are almost ready for the opening tonight: and Jennifer, I tried for a detail of the actual “join,” (they use regular cardboard tubes and a hot glue gun0 but I was too close to focus Phil Krug has made a terrific website for PS3 which […]

Project Space 3

Plane Trees, and why I like them….
Around our Marion County Court House is a ring of beautiful old plane trees. They were planted in 1932 as part of a project planned by Salem landscape architect Elizabeth Lord, and funded by the Salem Garden Club. Our court house in those days was a lovely building from the 1880’s, and in an aerial […]

Graduation Day, at Last:
Okay readers…this is it…the last post on the Roger Hull retirement festival. But what a ride it was. Here’s Roger’s advice to graduating seniors (and now he, too, is a member of the class of 2010…as is Scott Simon…) as published in the student paper (“The Collegian”) this week: And so today I sat in […]
Coming Down the Home Stretch…
This blog is at (only) slight risk of becoming the Roger Hull PR department, but tomorrow is the last day of the HULLabaloo season. Graduation. After 40 hard years of work they’re allowing him to graduate at last. Today Roger was inducted into the Phi Beta Kappa honorary and gave a very interesting talk about […]
