Bridget E. Smith Editor & Publisher St. Johns, Oregon 1997 |
To commemorate the 100th Anniversary of Portland's Union Station, we published a news-sheet with wonderful old photos and stories from the opening day in 1896. We appeared at the Rail Fair on May 10, 1996 with our paper "hot off the press." They held up the trains for us. (just joking!)
