Patricia Whiting represented Tigard in the Oregon Legislature for three terms. She was one of the first people to work on banning substances that damaged the ozone layer, and even appeared on the Today Show to discuss what was going on in the environment. She was an ardent supporter of Oregon education and community building. Sadly, she passed away this June. Here's a link to her obituary and more about her life and work--what an extrordinary person! Oregon is a better place because of Patricia and her husband, Vince. We (especially the horses!) can't thank their foundation enough. Tualatin Times Article .
In other news, we'll be at the Washington State Horse Expo this weekend. It's at the Clark County Fairgrounds in Ridgefield, Washington. We've been there for the past few years, and it's always been a blast to meet other horsepeople. We hope to see you there!
Until next time!
