My father took me the see the Bonneville Dam when I was 12 year's old and he talked about the "heroic" fish who throw themselves at the dam trying to get up stream to spawn. The strength of these creatures is amazing. We are the only nation in the world who float corn down the Columbia River (in barges from U.S. farms to the world markets) and truck fish. (Fingerlings are trucked down river around the dam in an attempt to save the salmon) I am glad your painting brings a personal perspective to this spot and preserves memories.

Ogni lavoro e'<br/>curato, bello,ma i visi, le espressioni delle persone sono veramente<br/>sorprendenti, sembra di vedere le persone in carne ed ossa, veramente<br/>vive davanti a te!

Having lived in the The Dalles for so many years has made me love the river. The Discovery Center there is a perfect place to look at all the pictures and watch moving video accounts of life there pre-dams. My own father, his oldest son, shared the love of photography and the outdoors. This has been a trip down memory lane, and your rendition of Grandpa is certainly lovely!

I'm now 58. I never spoke a word until I was two years old, and Grandpa "Snazzy" was the first person I talked to, or so I've been told all my life. Grandpa was an avid photographer and outdoorsman, full of life spirit. You have captured him well, in one of his favorite places. Grandpa Boothby was 52 when he died. I’m now 58.
