  • OR Wild -Backmatter V2
    208 OREGON WILD Afterword JIM CALLAHAN One final paragraph of advice: do not burn yourselves out. Be as I am — a reluctant enthusiast.... a part-time crusader, a half-hearted fanatic. Save the other half of your- selves and your lives for pleasure and adventure. It is not enough to fight for the land; it is even more important to enjoy it. While you can. While it is still here. So get out there and hunt and fish and mess around with your friends, ramble out yonder and explore the forests, climb the mountains, bag the peaks, run the rivers, breathe deep of that yet sweet and lucid air, sit quietly for awhile and contemplate the precious still- ness, the lovely mysterious and awesome space. Enjoy yourselves, keep your brain in your head and your head firmly attached to the body, the body active and alive and I promise you this much: I promise you this one sweet victory over our enemies, over those desk-bound men with their hearts in a safe-deposit box and their eyes hypnotized by desk calculators. I promise you this: you will outlive the bastards. —Edward Abbey1 Edward Abbey. Ed, take it from another Ed, not only can wilderness lovers outlive wilderness opponents, we can also defeat them.

  • Quilt Book for Submitters 2014 (FINAL).Pdf
    “Each square is unique and tells the story of incredible courage, faith, and generosity.” Dear Friends, Quilts are a visual testament to the compassionate nature of the human spirit. They are often created to serve a special purpose. Do- nate Life Northwest’s 2014 Threads of Life Quilt celebrates the lives of individuals who have been touched by donation and trans- plantation. Constructed from articles of clothing, blankets, cherished jewelry and heirlooms, each square is unique and tells the story of incredible courage, faith, and generosity. Threads of Life brings people together, to create personal tributes as well as enlist the help of others to complete the quilt and prepare it for exhibition. Threads of Life is more than layers of fabric stitched together, it is stories of mothers, fathers, children, siblings, friends, and neighbors. For donor family members recognizing the loss of their loved one, Threads of Life can ease the healing process while furthering a legacy and extending the impact of his or her precious gift. Transplant recipients celebrate their second chance and pay tribute to their donors for the treasured gift they have received. On behalf of Donate Life Northwest, we thank those who submitted squares, those who created the finished quilt and those who fur- ther the mission to save and enhance lives through the promotion of organ, eye and tissue donation.
