[or-roots] Medford Oregon

[E V Barnes]

My father took us as cub scouts to the SF world fair at Treasure Island.
He was invited up during a GE cooking demo to fry an egg.  As it was
frying the stage hand asked if he would like and icecream cone.  When he
nodded yes, the man pulled the skillet of the coils, lifted the coils off to
the left on hinge, and dipped his hand in and pulled out a cone.  It was
the semi reverse of the 1929 GE frig.

  Dan: I have been in Medford 3 times. The first was when my dad took me and my mother to the San Francisco World's Fair.  We drove to Medford from Portland and then flew  in a DC3 (C47) to SF. We had a good time but on the Flight back going into Medford it was really ROUGH and I was semi Air Sick.  I remember when we landed at Medford I got down on my knees and waited for the earth to stop spinning!  My mother hated flying.
  Also My Mother and Dad , Duane C. Goodman-(known as Curley) and my mother Cora Goodman, lived in Medford for a number years (about 1956?) Did you ever hear of them there?

    I was thinking of seeing if any one from Medford ( 1950 ) era was on the list.
       Medford is my home town and being now that lots of people have computers and are in our olders stages of life we might find some older aquantainces.
       I last lived in a house on Almond st where the redwood tree still stands, the houses are gone, and a freeway took their place with a small parking lot.
        For some reason bear creek seemed a lat bigger when I was smaller <G>
