56 year old native Oregonian. Born in Portland, raised all thru the mid valley, and entire coastline, by the time I was out of school. I am a Gay man, single, and on disability. I have been part of Portland's gay community, in some respects, since about 1972. I have always been a pack rat, and kept most things that passed my way. Now that I am older, and have the time, I chronicle all of the item's that I have collected. I am now officially calling myself, the PDX Gay Archivist. I have thousands of print media, photo's, negative's, video's, and memories, that I am currently archiving, and saving for the future.
