Family from NYC visited this week. We visited riverfront, campus, downtown, waterfalls, coastal mountain, and finished yesterday on the coast. I think they were impressed by Oregon. Fun event of the year so far for us.

Todd Rundgren at Wollman rink in Central Park NYC, early 1970s. Hall & Oates sang backup, the Brecker Brothers band provided horns, Kevin Ellman played like a God, and Frog, Ralph, Moogy, John, & Todd were the greatest live rock act of all time. Instamatic b&w photo by me, great times. Utopia
