Chas' job

Last night Chas asked if I wanted to go with him to his community meeting about the project he did up on the 6 ranch. It was last minute, but thanks to Janae I was able to go with him. They made a movie about his project which was a river restoration and fish habitat project, he re-routed the Wallowa river (I think thats the one) and made it back into what it used to look like before they channelized it to put in the railroad. So he got to do all the design work and work with the ranchers and a hundred other people up there. Anyway I loved going to see him in his work setting, it was a community event to see the film they made about the project and then an open panel discussion afterwards. The movie was shown on OPB. He got to answer questions and talk a little about his role in it. I am so glad he thought to invite me and I was so proud of him. He did such a great job. He has another meeting tonight in Elgin, which is supposed to be packed and then another in Enterprise tomorrow night. He doesn't even get nervous about the whole thing, I would be a wreck, having to talk in front of lots of people like that. Although he did say, "I hope some wacko environmentalist doesn't show up." I guess that is the extent of his nervousness. Good Job, Chas!!thanks for inviting me along.
