The Great Bridge Boycott

Here are some other articles by the same author. He’s sort of the sports writer for the New Yorker on the Bridge beat.

Turning Tricks

Club members gathered with Leigh’s family after Saturday’s game to honor his life and reminisce about this sweet man we all loved.

Joining us at the club were Leigh’s daughter Kristen, her husband Mike, Leigh’s son Leigh Jr., cousin Ann, granddaughter Leah, and her husband Johnny.

The stories came thick and fast with much laughter and some tears too as we learned about his many interests as well as some of his quirks.

Thanks to the family for graciously allowing us to post video of the event as well as copies of some of the old photos they brought in.

We’ll all miss Leigh very much.

As much as possible, let’s confine food consumption to the kitchen or lounge area. We all understand per having a beverage at the table.

We also plan to begin using the backroom as a way of spreading out the tables. Yes, we are all together at the table. There is not a reason though for the tables to be close together.

Per the gathering for Leigh on Saturday: Yes, it will involve food. Everyone will have to decide for themselves what they want to do. Should you not want to attend, feel free to submit (via email or dropping if off at EBC) anything you might want to share with the family. Reminder that this will be held immediately following the Unit game which will start at 10:00am.

Congratulations to our unit members who have qualified!

Leigh’s family would like to gather and share some time and a few good stories. We are going to do this on Saturday, October 16th. That is the morning of the Unit game. The idea is to gather after the game and have lunch. Because Leigh’s son will be coming from Sacramento that morning, we are going to move the start of the Unit game back by a half-hour to 10:00AM.

EBC/Unit will provide the lunch. Salad, sandwiches, and Leigh’s famous butternut squash soup.

So, to be clear. The Unit game will start at 10:00. Following the game, we will all gather, have lunch, and share our best Leigh stories. So, even if you cannot make the Unit game, please plan on attending the lunch and memorial for Leigh which will follow the game at approximately 1:30.

District 20 has something called Area Reps. These are folks who are liaisons between the local Units and the District board. There are several. Our Area Rep is the liaison for Eugene-Springfield, Albany-Corvallis and Salem. This is a two-year term. It rotates amongst the three areas. It is our turn to provide someone if anyone is interested. Dennis is very willing to continue should no one show interest. If you think you might be interested, contact John Wolf or any member of the Board.

From Laurie Rowe:

It really is a great position and not a lot of work. 2 board meetings a year usually Seaside and Vancouver regional. There is a little perk that goes with the job as you get $100 yearly from each unit to help with your travel expenses although obviously meetings have been zoom.
