[edit] Welcome2

Hi! I'm on the welcoming committee too, and saw your question on Vanport, Oregon. I refered the matter to the talk page for Wikiproject Oregon, where it will get seen by the most people. You might want to enable your email in contributions. It's a two step process. First you have to set it up... the BOT will send you a coded secure verification message. Then you click or paste the link it sends you into your browser. That enables wiki-email for you. It needs one more step. Back in preferences, now click the box in front of Enable e-mail from other users. Then someone can get to you with a question.

   If on the other hand, you're going to be editing herein, when you enter a preview page, the system will detect you and flash a banner message with a link notifying you that there is a new message. If you have questions or need help, feel free to ask me at Fabartus or click the green part of my sig. Same thing. Hope you get your answer. Happy holidays, // FrankB 07:40, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vanport location

Hello Sylviaa, This article shows that you are correct. It was indeed on Delta Park's location. I remember seeing old photos of Vanport somewhere decades ago, and believed it to be a little south of that, nearer the Columbia Slough. I vaguely remember seeing Jantzen Beach—or where it should have been—way in the background. I'll update the article, unless someone beats me to it. Thanks for the question. — EncMstr 08:14, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Well, one of my better ideas I guess! That was Quick!Nice to see a happy customer! <g>

   Got your message, had to check what I'd written. Cheers! // FrankB 23:16, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
