Hi, this page is all about
me. My name is Harold, and that's me with my pickup at the
Florence harbor parking lot. That is the Siuslaw River in the
background. I retired in 1997 after 31 years as a postal
worker. I moved from Florence, Oregon where I made my home
for just over 3 years, after spending many years in California.
But now I live in Salem, Oregon the state
capitol. I decided it was time for a change and
with friends, lots of shopping and recreation nearby I feel it was a
good move. In time my website will reflect some changes due to
the move.
My computer is an iMac and have been an Apple fan for many years. Although I know how to use a PC and did so for many years where I worked, I found Apple computers more to my liking. I am, of course, the webmaster for The Oregon Kid site.
In addition to computers my other major hobby is photography. All the pictures on my web site were taken with a Nikon 4300 digital camera. Taking pictures is the easy part, editing or changing them using Adobe Photoshop Elements take a little more work. Sometimes you end up compromising with a photo because of the constraints of the Internet. Photos need to reduced to a small file size so they can load quickly and easily. So bear with me if some pictures seem a little off.
Some of my friends have asked me 'why did I create this site'. I have a great love for Oregon and through my website my friends, family and others can see Oregon from my perspective. I have been fortunate enough to have traveled a lot over the years. Many do not get the chance for one reason or another and my website and the Internet allows those to travel at the click of a mouse.
Over time some of the pages on this site will change and a few may disappear. Occasionally a page may be unavailable for a period of time while it under goes changes.
