Article in the Oregonian

My friend Jan called me Thursday and said she was reading the paper that morning and was surprised to find Jared's picture in it. Ohhhh yeaah. A couple weeks ago, practically in passing, Jared mentioned someone from the Oregonian was coming to speak with him about Pacific University. Then we both totally forgot about it and it completely slipped my mind to even follow up with him about the interview when he got home...until Jan reminded me.

She was kind enough to send us a copy of the article because, ironically enough, we don't take the Oregonian. Ha! We think it's too liberal. Although Jared was in the Metro "Washington County" section which has the births and obits and other un-slanted articles in it.

Jared had several comments that were mentioned a couple times and even got his picture taken in one of the exam rooms at Dr. Hicken's office. On the day of the interview, the paper people were late getting there and the patient whom they were going to get a picture of with Jared had to leave and the next patient Jared was seeing did NOT want their picture taken. Too bad. So...he's kicking back in the exam room like he has all the time in the world :). His picture isn't posted on the online version of the article, however.

If you want to read it, here's the link:

Otherwise, just google the "Oregonian" website and go to "Metro" and then "Washington County" and type in February 26, 2009 (or select it actually) and then look for the article "Taking Pacific University's Pulse."

Oh and if anyone has any extra copies of the article in your garage or recycling pile, we'd love to get our hands on a few so we can send some to our parents and siblings. Thanks!
