[or-roots] Can't resist sending this

I don't think there are anymore nurseries on Sandy Blvd.  George Schmidt
must have been related to J. Frank Schmidt.  He was a nurseryman with
several big chuncks of land around the area.  At one time he was the largest
nursery grower in the country.  JFS passed away a few years ago.

BTW, I am new to this newsletter sight and have enjoyed reading
everything--unlike the one guy.  Browsing the internet, I came across the
sight and signed on. Some of the web sights being passed around may be
helpful to me too as I hunt for family. Thanks for the fun reads.

Houses and apartments and a big new church (not to mention the new
freeway offramp).  What side of Sandy did you live on?  One of my best
friends family had a nursery (plants and stuff) on Sandy and Osburn.
They sold produce out of a stand on the highway.  I remember the
Schmidt's nursery too, but I don't know what happened to it.  Maybe we
should get Doneva back on the list.  Her family farmed at Sandy and
Birdsdale after the Vanport flood.
