A message to and about N. Port.
Dear Editor,
May the Spirit of Christmas today
and everyday be with our entire
community of St. Johns. May the
100 years since we became part of
the City of Portland in 1915 be the
shower of stars that illuminate our
path to the future. May the New
Year show less greed, more kind-
ness not only towards humanity
and animals but to Mother Earth
and all that has been given freely.
My husband and I are both 4th
generations of North Portland, we
played George Gibbs and Emi-
ly Webb in the play Our Town at
Roosevelt High School in 1965.
We met again while attending
Portland State and married in
1970. We just celebrated 45 years
of marriage Nov. 28, 2015. The
play taught us how precious every
moment of life is and not to take
“Letters”
