2019/2020 Season Kick Off
AMS members, colleagues, et al:
Welcome back! We hope you all enjoyed the summer break with family / friends. On September 1st we will kick off our 2019/2020 season of Oregon AMS meetings. With the new season comes several meetings that you will want to mark down on your calendar right now! Please note the following:
2019/2020 “KICK-OFF” MEETING
Where: McMenamins Restaurant (Lloyd District) – 1504 N.E. Broadway, Portland, Oregon 97232. We have the closed-door banquet room reserved.
Parking: Park one block north of
Broadway (in the neighborhood for free) if you can not find available metered parking on Broadway. Meters end at
7pm.
Agenda: John Dodge, renown columnist, editorial page writer and retired investigative reporter for The Olympian digs deep into the 1962 Columbus Day Storm. The storm killed dozens, injured hundreds, damaged more than 50,000 homes and leveled enough trees to build a million homes. The unrivalled cyclone gave birth to the Asian log export market and the Oregon wine industry. In his book entitled, “A Deadly Wind,” John weaves a compelling story spiced with human drama, Cold War implications, Pacific Northwest history and the science of severe weather. His best-selling book was published by Oregon State University press in October 2018.
