From Tim Brown of the Michigan polio group:
For those of you who were unable to participate in the recent zoom meeting with Dr. Fred Maynard, the host of the event, PHI's Brian Tiburski, has made available access to the recording of that meeting. Those of us who were there all seemed to enjoy listening to and speaking with Dr. Maynard and with each other.
Fun spring activity: I was proselytizing at the meeting about a recent great half-day excursion to Laurel Hedge, an incredible garden in Estacada, so I thought to share it with one and all. Stop for lunch afterwards at the Harmony Cafe & Bakery. The drive is beautiful, and it's such a relaxing trip. But it's not the most accessible garden, just a heads up.
