OSU Party at the Palm Springs Art Museum

Monday evening we attended an OSU Alumni Association Reception for Alumni and Friends at the Palm Springs Art Museum. OSU President Ed Ray spoke for a while. He was introduced by Carol Fischer (now known as Cara), who was in my former cooking group in Salem. I looked her up and learned Cara Fischer is an administrator for Legislative Committee Services at the State Capitol. Robert and I spoke with some friends we came across in the crowded lobby, and then took a self guided tour. Here are some pictures of highlights.

Mary Benz Sayler looked so familiar. She lives in Dunthorp in Portland and is a member of the Portland Art Museum's volunteer docents and attends Asian Arts Council meetings. We probably saw her there. She has a home in Palm Springs at PGA West.

The museum has many beautiful glass pieces.
Lots of Chihuly.... here are two.



These two rooms are minitures.


See how this inspired Dale Chihuley.
