Snow and chill predicted to be on the way… The other day a white pick-up pulled up in front of our house and two young persons jumped out, raked up all the leaves in front in the street, and drove away. ?????Composters?

Campus Fun
In the paper this morning was the announcement that the very nice Professor of Politics at Willamette University, Sammy Basu, has been awarded the Carnegie/CASE award for teaching, as Oregon’s Professor of the year.

After a brief visit with Z&A to deliver the quilt we headed home and on to Silverton, to the Frank Lloyd Wright Usonian house known as the Gordon House. The house was built in 1963 after a design Wright made for Conrad and Evelyn Gordon in 1958 before he died. It originally sat on a […]
Eunice Parsons Thinking Archivally
Eunice Parsons is considering giving her “papers” (and here I mean correspondence, etc., NOT all the paper that is the raw material for collage…!) to the Pacific Northwest Artists Archive at Willamette University.

The Flip Side of Roger Hull
Now that we have a respite from the serious work, I noted when “filing” photos, the other Roger Hull… a guy who wears many hats… lover of Italy… and the ocean… nice guy…
Curatorial Notes: Izquierdo
Got out of jail again today….off to the museum where Roger Hull had to sign copies of the book…one for each donor to the publication fund… It went like this… and then we got to go take a peek at the show…everything is there but not in final position…it’s a forest of sculpture and quite […]
