If you wind up coming to Portland to see one of the physicians at O.H.S.U. please let me know. I am an employee up at the Med school. all though I work as a chef at the school I would love to help you navigate around as our campus is very big and confusing. Plus I my family is originally from Bandon. My great-great grandfather is blamed for bringing the gorse to the Oregon coast. would love to help if you need assistance.
