I’m in the Portland area for a couple of days of meetings (and an opportunity for Connie and I to connect with family). Today I’m going to Marylhurst University http://www.marylhurst.edu/ to meet with Father Richard Ganz, Vice President for Community Relations. On Tuesday I will be at the M. J. Murdock Charitable Trust http://www.murdock-trust.org/ where I have meetings scheduled with Steve Moore, Executive Director and Program Leaders Terry Stokesbary, Mary Hill and Dave Coleman. I am hopeful these connections will lead to new opportunities for work and service.
