Sorry it was the 2008 MVPA convention in Portland where we met R. Lee Ermy. She received an invitation to go to Hawaii at that show. 2013 was also a good time. By that time the Wiener dog that R. Lee Ermy had loves on was gone. I brought a kayak along and the dog and I paddled across the mighty Columbia together on a couple of different days while my wife was at the show. It was very breezy as is common on the river and more challenging than one might imagine. The dog did not like it much. But they had a great park that I started out from just a few miles from the Convention.
Sorry that was our younger dog that went kayaking with me in 2013. Bad writing on my part. But we have had a lot of good times in Portland over the years and it is sad what has happened there.
I used to get the MVPA magazine for a few years but let it go.
Most of them I wound up giving to my dad.
Some of the content was really good. I could have never talked the spouse into going to a convention.
