[...] I’ve been back from Oregon for about a week and a day now, and it’s really time to clear out my files. So here now are the attractions I had put on the list, but never got to see. I’m not complaining, afterall, I did get to see sprayfoam art, the US’s only municipal elevator, the world’s tallest barber pole, the Spruce Goose, Mt. Tabor, and the Velveteria. Clearly, Oregon has a lot to offer wacky travelers. [...]

Dear Evergreen Museum, My Husband and I attended your museum yesterday 6-10-06. I also purchased a flight jacket for our grandson from your store. I started having great difficulty breathing in your museum west of where the B17 is sitting. Paint fumes were wafting over the crowd, as we were with a tour guide. I told my Husband I have to get out of here this is really bothering me. We moved away after about 5 minutes from that area and I couldn’t smell those fumes any longer, but I was having trouble breathing and my eyes were burning and stinging. When we got home, I continued having these problems, thinking something was in my eye, I continued washing my eyes out with hypo tears, but they never stopped hurting, and I was all stuffed up from these fumes, nasal congestion. It is now 6-11-06, oh, I also had an earache. Why do you allow someone to do this work on planes when the museum is open to the public? I would like my entry fee to the museum refunded. Also, I had a question while I was in the store, I purchased a flight jacket, and the lady on the cash register told me the price, and I said there are signs all over the store ‘clothing 25% off’, she proceeded to tell me that there was no sign on the top glass shelf of those jackets. “Excuse me”, this is very poor marketing on your part as a shop in the museum. The jackets should’ve been upstairs away from the sale. But, I suppose the clothing was on sale upstairs too? The lady at the cash register was swamped with customers and no help at the time I was in your shop. She was making all kinds of mistakes with the customer before me, who requested gift certificates. I would like to hear feedback on your response to this occurence at your museum. Thank you for reading this e-mail. Sincerely, Linda M. Howery
