Today was family day. My Truman cousin, Margaret, drove me to Pendleton, OR, to meet another relative, Gary. En route, we stopped at a Stonehenge reproduction, the Klickitat County (WA) World War I memorial. From it, one can see Mt. Hood in the distance.
We got to Pendleton about 1100 and spent the next several hours going thru pictures and records – including 5 letters written by my great grandfather in Louisiana to his brother & nephew in Oregon. I took pictures of the letters and will get them transcribed.
We got back to Maupin about 1830 and talked about what we learned. I saw a new-to-me portion of the Columbia River, and didn’t have to drive.
For the day, 0 miles driven.
Tomorrow: visit an Indian flea market and meet more relatives in the evening.
