Oregon Sneak Peek!

I used to live in oregon - during my postdoctoral days at Oregon Graduate Center, which became Oregon Graduate Institute, which merged with Oregon Health Sciences University, and now is about to be "submerged" and defunct.
Anyway, we lived first in Beaverton [home of Nike] and Hillsboro and it was glorious. this was '82 to '90. more rainbows in a month than many places have in years, and the world's best "eating"....

Cindy Peek is the designer for the Oregon sock ... it's being knit in DK Panda Silk, and here's a
preview!
