Nelson conluded. have been just another mun dane day,* Freshman Erin ■: Woman's search finally over; Cowan locates her daughters by Melissa Freels Co-Editor-in-Chief For 62-year-old Virginia Cowan, many years of wonder ing are over. Virginia - who is known as Ginny — received a surprise on March 11, when she was picked up in a stretch limousine. She figured that she and her friend were going to spend the evening out on the town, but she was wrong. Instead, she received a whirlwind limousine ride around town, and eventually ended up at the train station downtown. When G inny opened the door of the limousine, which was donated for the evening by a Portland limo rental company, she was greeted by four televi sion cameras, all focused on her. At that moment, Ginny knew she would be meeting one of the girls she gave up for adoption more than three decades ago. Ginny had located her two daughters a week earlier with the help of Seekers of the Lost, a business located in Vancouver, Wash. On March 6, Ginny first spoke to Marilyn, the daughter she had named Dorothy Lee at birth. She learned that the daugh ter she had named Shanna Marie is now named Susan. As Ginny waited outside the train station, strangers approached her and said, “She’s coming, she’s right behind us.”They all seemed to know who Ginny was and why she was there. - And then Ginny saw Marilyn, and she, too, knew why she was there. “It was the wildest reunion,” Ginny said. Marilyn, who currently re sides in Ohio, spent the next few days at Ginny’s apartment in Milwaukie. The two spent their time together like a couple of teenagers would -- they stayed up late at night, slept in until late afternoon and ordered pizza. One' evening, Marilyn even had Ginny read a bedtime story to her. Throughout the visit, the two women made up for more than 30 years of lost time. Marilyn describes Ginny as the “neatest lady in the whole wide world.” Marilyn’s excite ment about the reunion stems from the fact that she had been search ing for Ginny. “I’ve always been scared,” Marilyn explained about finding her mother. In many cases the birth mother does not want to be found by her children, or vice versa, and this can lead to heart break. Ginny has not spoken to Susan yet. Ginny was featured in the March 10 issue of The Clacka mas Print. She was recently reunited with two of her children aftera38-year separation. At the time of publication, she was still unable to locate her two daugh ters, who she had given up for adoption more than 30 years ago. But now, Ginny’s mind is at ease. She finds it amazing that she was able to find all four of her children within a two-month period. Within a short period of time, Ginny has found a happy ending to many years of wondering about her children. At the same time, she has possibly found a happy beginning to a new life with her children.

After two months of searching, she has located them. Hazel Hall remembered in 'Monograms' by Tracey Roozenboom Staff Writer Have you heard of the name Hazel Hall? Many people proba bly haven’t since little is known about her. Hall was an Oregon poet who lived from 1886-1924 and wrote for many popular magazines in her day. Maybe that’s why actress Susan Mach wrote and is now performing a play entitled Monograms” in recognition of Hall. The play also includes four other actors, Kelly Brooks, Alyson Ayn Osborn, Mark Schwahn and Sam Mowrey. The play will be held in the Gregory Forum to night at 6:30; admission is free. The Metro Arts Commission was so impressed with Mach that they gave her a grant to research Hall’s life and work. The re-; search on her life, according to Mach, was quite extensive since “all of her papers are missing.” The main sources of information were people who Hall wrote to. Hall wrote three volumes of poetry. They are “Curtains” (1921), “Walkers” (1923) and “Cry of Time” (1928). In 1921 she received the Young Poet’s Prize for a collection of .needle work poems called “Repetitions.” Mach was introduced to Hall’s work through a friend in college. She enjoys it because, “Hazel writes a kind of meta physical poetry. She lived her life through her imagination.” Due to a fall and scarlet fe ver at the age of 12, Hall spent most of her life confined to a. wheelchair. She lived with her mother and sister in Portland (her sister was a librarian at Jefferson High School) where she spent her time writing poems and sew ing, Mach explained. For the past couple of years Mach has brought her presenta tion of Hall to CCC in a poet and lecture series. This is her first year performing a play. In the future, Hall plans to go on to graduate school where she would like to get a master’s degree in play writing.
