[or-roots] images

[Leslie Chapman]

No problem, I can send you a picture and a map both, let me know if you are
on dial-up I can make the images small,  if not I can give you a bigger
image and make it easier to see how things fit in.

You might want to go to http://www.google.com/

just above the dialogue box where you type in your search words is the word
"more" click on that and you will get a whole bunch of links, toward the
bottom left corner is a blue and white streaked ball and the link is "Google
Earth" if you have the band width (ie DSL or Broadband inernet) to get a
decent download speed you can play with that and find the golf course
yourself, the upper left corner of the google earth page should have a place
where you can type in Woodburn, Oregon and it should take you there, then
you just go a teeny tiny ways north of town you will see what I am talking
ab out with the row crops in the golf course.

To Pat (in Tucson) - and Les,

Thank you so very much for the Plat map, and the Natualization
information for James Casey.  I don't quite know where to get the
petition or application - perhaps the County Court, but that's the
next step in my research.

And, Les, after reading your description - more than once - I think
that I understand it pretty well - but I am confused about the crops
between the fairways,

I hesitate to ask for anything else, but putting this on
a regular map or an aerial view would be fantastic!  If that is too
big a request, please forget I even mentioned it.  Living in
San Jose, CA, it's hard to for me to picture Tukwila Drive!

Now I'm sure that I am geospatially challenged!

Thank you so very much for what you have done for me!

Bea
