Hope I'm not speaking out of turn. I don't have an official capacity in this, Just thought some might be interested.

  Monday the 6th was his last official day at UofP.

Saturday the 11th from 1pm into the afternoon well wishers can drop by, renew visual contact, etc. 

TOC is Almaty Farm  29438 S Molala Ave. Molalla OR 97038. you might drop Joanie a note that you're thinking about coming through. She's pomonascion @ gmail.com altogether now!Wink I suspect there might be some freshly pressed juice for the toasting.

Thanks for mentioning this James.  Shawn was an HOS stalwart for decades.  I"m glad to see him earning his retirement. 

I won't be able to attend because I will be running a baseball league at that time.

So his last day at U of P was actually Wednesday last.

George Barton and Ellie catered the eats, Frankie furnished Rhubarb pie. See what you missed?Smile

Probably the last time I'll misspell Shaun's name.

...and thanks for mentioning Mr. Barton; he visited here a few years ago to get a quince start from me,
