The Sunday, Jan. 5, 2014, Register-Guard daily newspaper ran a huge piece by journalist Randi Bjornstad about me, my fall, my broken neck, activism, our supportive community, changing the mental health system, and even the Chamber of Commerce protest on climate crisis. There are two great photos by professional photographer Paul Carter, plus how to give to my irrevocable trust fund.

    Darn it, I really want to read it, and the site will not allow me to unless I subscribe to the newspaper. Can you get their permission to post the article on your website, I hope? And David, I think of you often and all the great work you have done, and I see that you are forging on — how wonderful! Love to you,
    Paula
