A very merry Christmas to all of our readers.
Today it is snowing here in the Portland area, the first white Christmas here since 1990, according to local TV news station KGW (channel 8).
Speaking of KGW, local news anchor Wayne Havrelly stopped by operation headquarters yesterday with a camera crew to do a piece on Red Cross volunteers remaining here over the holiday. When they met us, that morphed into a piece on responding in
Odyssey, and we ended up with a couple of minutes of local fame as the piece ran on both the 6pm and 11pm newscasts yesterday. We're hoping the clip will show up in digital form on the KGW web site, but, if not, we captured it on tape (albeit a bit fuzzy with rabbit ears here in the loading dock) and will try to get it digitized to put it here on the blog. Stay tuned.
Updated to add: Well, it took until March 30, 2009, but we finally managed to get the video transferred from VHS to digital format:
Sometimes quiet togetherness makes a holiday extra special.
