I apologize for not posting anything much since spring. I had an accident involving complex damage to my left arm and spent a total of almost three months in hospitals. A brilliant surgeon repaired the damages that now permits me to reach above my head = These ops were at Swedish Hospital in Seattle, a Dr. Besemania.
This past summer has seen a surge of new interest in the Columbia River and its tributaries.This fascinating waterway of more than 1240 miles in Canada and Washington State deserves all the attention it can receive about its waterway to the ocean.. I drove to a meeting this summer and enjoyed remembering the adventures of the pioneers and immigrants-- mine, too, during my research to the entire length of the Columbia..
The salmon still ascend the river and its branch streams to spawn, a very unusual way to procreate that literally is a story of the parent fish substituting their lives for their tiny offspring. The magnificent and romantic waterway also has been a highway from east to west before pioneers were there.
Please note that 2013 saw the publication by Caxton Press, who purchased the rights to publish from Fulcrum revised version of parts of The Columbia River. Most of the river is history that cannot change, of course, but about 60 pp of the 2013 version are updated to inform you where to see special events and places, spend our vacation times at parks and lodges, and where to learn more history. The original 1991 Centennial Columbia River book occasionally has been listed as "out of print," a confusing matter for data bases. The delightful story of the river is available in its update of 2013 in national and international bookstores and gift shops as before. I am receiving letters and emails about lucky boat owners who have run the river all the way during vacation periods and at least one retiree "John", who just this summer has begun the adventure. has traversed the river from its Canadian roots almost to the .U.S. border this year, and will continue the trip in spring's more favorable weather period.
Greeting to you all, and I hope not to repeat my nasty, injurious fall of the past summer, a fall in my own home's bedroom where I hit and broke my humerus and other parts of my arm by hitting my four poster bed!!!
