kym We left in Dec of 98. I grew up there. There are alot of place for quad racing especially around coosbay. Right before we left they had built a nice motorcycle track around one of the lakes that has just slipped my mind. I will think of it later. but I know they have alot of races. We still have family there. If you know names let me know and see if they sound familer
Kym, no, I actually LIKE Michael Bolton, though it was, coincidentally, a sort of favor for a friend - her DH was sick and she had an extra ticket. LOL I like almost all music except rap.

Shann, the fellas name is Steve Canady, he may have been there during that time. He is a good friend of my brothers and is single, so he travels around doing high paying welding jobs! He'd have been kind of a loner, but riding a lot, and 4 wheelin'
Karen, hope I didn't offend you I listen to some kiddy rap now, my 2nd son likes the beat of early rap, but we can't handle the lyrics so he's forced to listen ( and therefore so am I) to the kiddy stuff. I like all forms of music as well, but could not handle a whole concert of Michael Bolton sorta stuff.
Kaye, did you know a guy with the last name of Forrest at Stephen F Austin?
Hmmm I don't think so. I am much better with faces and first names. I was married by time I got to SFA and commuted. I was in the sp ed department.

Shann, I have a friend that grew up in Klamath Falls. Her name is Monica and she has a sister named Verlene. I don't know her maiden name (we met after she married my dh's best friend) but her sister still lives there and Monica moved down here around 1992. I know that Shelley and I found a "connection" between her sister and the bar I like to go to for drinks!
Kym, no offense taken. He actually did a really good show. Very formal one half, baseball cap the other half, talked and joked with the audience and sank his heart out.
Ok I was gone for 2 days, and no connections made??
Karen, I'm sure he sang his heart out not sank itLOL
yea..........ROFL he SANG...... DUH! A senior moment here............
