Re: 2008 GWA symposium

**H*@aol.com**

If my memory serves me right, and that would be rare, the last GWA  symposium 
in Portland was about 20 years ago.  Or was it the PPA  meeting?  In any 
event it's a wonderful place for gardeners and  writers.  Wonder if the far west 
trade show is then or earlier?  We  took an Amtrak train up the Columbia river 
to Hood River Junction then a switch  back train up Mount Hood where there are 
incredible pear and apple  orchards.  Of course the train back to Portland 
was six hours late so we  got to watch lots of wind surfing on the Columbia that 
was pretty  spectacular.
