As I drove around the flood waters here in Western Oregon, I
wondered what the news papers around the USA, Canada, and the rest of the
world would report.  Then I thought about those of you subscribed to
Museum-L.
        If you see, in you local papers, news accounts and photos about
our floods, would you please send them to me.  I intend to place them in
our museum files.  My address should appear at the end of this message.
        I am in Benton County (about 1.5 hours south of Portland) and the
main towns in Benton County with flood problems are Corvallis, Philomath,
and Monroe.  I am interested in all articles though about the Oregon floods.
Thank you in advance.

BTW:    Our museums and collections are safe and sound on high ground.

        If you are interested in the state of specific museums here,
please contact me.  I would be happy to help.
