KD and I were newly living in Portland, Oregon, & as deep in our West Coast times as we would get. I got laid off halfway through 2008, jobs in the economic meltdown of the time were hard to find, & it was a money struggle thereon, till we left for Boston in 2010. But this list of folks - balanced between old & new - wow. A nice memory from these years later.
