Kate,
If you look after the name of a person who posted, i.e. Mark Cohen, you will find PM. Click on that and it will post a personal message to that person, like this one I am sending you, and will show up as a red notice at the top of the page saying that you have one message.

I will do this with this mail, and also post it to the thread about Mary Benson's stroke, since it looks like you didn't realize you were posting a personal message in a thread about Mary.
Blessings,
Barbara

Hello all --

Is there any recent info about Mary, including how to reach her? I'll be in Portland briefly and would love to say hello, give her a cheering word.

Valentine, I would PM Barbara for updated info.
I know that Mary is living in an assisted living facility in SE Portland, and I can look up its new name. (It's a new facility in a renovated building formerly occupied by a nursing home, but I don't know the name offhand.)
I'll try to find it, but I'm pretty sure Barbara has the contact info handy. David Ingerson probably does too.

Valentine, I see you're a guest, so you can't PM Barbara (unless, of course, you want to join, which requires nothing more than a user name and an email address).
I looked up some assisted living and nursing homes in Portland, and I think this is the one you want. Worth a try, anyway.

I don't have a phone number, but I'm sure it's in the phone book for Portland.

I think that is where she was but is no longer. She is now in a studio...I don't know if it is associated with a care center or not. I know she really looks forward to having guests, and is able to get out and about some. Her speech as of a couple of weeks ago was still not doing so well, but otherwise poeple say she is doing very well...mg

She's moved to stay with her sister in Spokane. My understanding is that she will be back in Portland when her insurance kicks in. I have some friends I can ask as to how she's doing. I'll get back to you when I hear.
Blessings,
Barbara
