Yesterday I was fortunate enough to find myself in the company of the East Multnomah Pioneer Association as they held their 94th annual meeting in Corbett. They packed the MPB with good will and a with a celebration of their community and their heritage. It was heartening to see the pride that they take in their schools, their concern for the future of Corbett and their understanding of what it takes to build strong foundations for young people. Who would have expected to find such a forward-looking group at a celebration of the past?
Many thanks to President George Knieriem and the members of the association for a memorable experience.
