Oregon Millikan Reunion



We traveled north for a weeklong vacation in Oregon centered around a reunion of former "Millikanites."  Twenty-three Rams, mostly relocated residents of Oregon, gathered for a social hour, dinner, and reminiscing at the Bowers' residence near Medford.  Prior to the reunion, Gail and I enjoyed three days in Portland, our first time in the Rose City.  We enjoyed a trolley tour, a day at the Columbia River Gorge, shopping, walking around the city, dining at some of the famous breweries, and a morning at the Saturday Street Fair. The fun continued when we arrived at the Bowers' residence for the reunion.  Following the reunion, we had a great day hiking and dining at Union Creek followed the next day by an exciting four-hour jet boat adventure on the Rogue River near Grants Pass.
