Remembering Those We Lost in 2020

A number of Oregon politicos have left us in 2020, more so than most years and instead of trying to do lengthy posts about all of them, and some that we do not have many items for we have provided links to their obituaries or other online memorials. If we have written about them in the past we have included a link to that article on our own blog. Also, if you believe we have missed someone feel free to send us a note.
