Hi Lori, Lynda, Mike, Sue, Allan, Sherri, and fellow board members,
Here is the preliminary reply that I sent back to Delores Howard
regarding the ideas that we discussed at Menucha.
Lynda will be sending in a more detailed description of our
discussions. This preliminary report does not contain any of the
reasons for these choices, it merely shows that OSTA is serious about
being involved asap in making the western regional a success.
Please continue your thoughts and discussions regarding Strands,
as well as the people to be recommended. "Bridges over Troubled
Waters" might refer to this week's gatherings at the Salem Capitol.
(or to the sandbags surrounding the capitol buildings!!! ;-)
Thank you for your enthusiasm at Menucha! Peace and
friendship, Bernie

A good deal of thought and discussion went into these
recommendations, Delores. You should be receiving a similar email
from our OSTA President, Lynda Sanders <sandsciosta at charter.net>, that
may discuss these recommendations in more detail. (ie. Portland is
the "City of Bridges" ;-)
Most importantly, you should see the seriousness and the
conscientious efforts that OSTA will be putting forth to help make
this Western Regional Conference a success.
Thank you for all that you do!
Peace and friendship, Bernie Carlsen OSTA Executive Director
