[MMARSH]

I'm originally from a suburb of Portland. (Gladstone) Worked at a gas station in West Linn and a Mcdonalds in Milwaukee in high school. I ended up down in LA, 35 years ago after the military. Mom worked at Bonneville Power in Portland close to the Lloyd center.

Five life long buddies of mine(West Linn area) are all retired career Portland PD guys. The last one retired early after dealing with all the BS up there last year.....All of them couldn't get out of Portland quick enough and have all moved to Central Oregon. Soon as my wife retires, I'll be getting out of LA and moving there as well. Portland used to be a lovely city, but it has a lot of work to do.
