  1. I would have enjoyed this presentation. However, my husband and I, and several others, were at the Widmer Gasthuas last night, per the venue published in a schedule handed out at a previous Portland Harbor Partnership event.

    Usually a change in venue is accompanied for signs at the "wrong" location to help the traveler. Not so with The Portland Harbor Partnership.

    greatly disappointed-

  2. Hi Katie,

    Thanks for the comment. I had zero control of the venue, but I certainly understand the frustration. I would suspect that the PHP folks would be keen to hear your feedback:

    I'm in the process of developing a new blog devoted to Willamette River pollution issues -- and water pollution generally -- and will post my PowerPoint slide deck there as soon as I figure out how to do it:

    Feel free to check out my new blog focused on water pollution!
