Hi There !

My business partner is getting married Saturday, July 30 near Bend,
Oregon.  This is approximately 200 miles east of Portland, Oregon.

He is looking for an Episcopalian priest within driving distance.  The
wedding coordinator has already found a lady Episcopalian priest in
the area willing to perform the ceremony.

But my partner is an East Coast blue-blooded dinosaur;  he only wants
a male priest.  (He also told me to knock off the altar boy jokes. 
heh  heh  heh)

A 5-star answer would be 4 possibilities within driving distance of Bend, Oregon.


All comments greatly appreciated !

Request for Question Clarification by omnivorous-ga on 31 Mar 2005 06:43 PST

Ron --

For some reason, the Episcopal Church has virtually all of its
parishes in the western portion of the state.  They have a church in
Boring, OR -- but none listed in Bend:
http://www.diocese-oregon.org/churches/map_north.htm

However, they do have a complete list of priests, including those who
are retired and a number have e-mail addresses:
http://www.diocese-oregon.org/clergy.htm

It doesn't seem possible to find 1 or 2 options, let alone four. 
Suggestion: send an e-mail to five or six of the nearest possible
priests, requesting a candidate.

Best regards,

Did it succeed?

And did you ever build the airstrip?  I'm in need of someplace to fly
to maintain currency ;=)

Hi Omnivorous!

1.  Thanks for the priest answer.  Just what I meeded.

2.  As for the airstrip, I am making progress.   I made a scouting
visit to Brewster County and El Paso County in Texas last month.  Must
confess I'm still intrigued with the idea of doing this airstrip
unofficially, in the middle of nowhere.  Not sure I want the
government inspectors looking at my Caterpillar work.
   

3.  Near Alpine, Texas I noticed a rancher had simply bulldozed a
grass strip just off the highway.  If he got the required permits,
I'll eat my hat.  :-)

4.  Thanks, as always!

Ron...

Make sure that you get your suit drycleaned in time...heheheh.

Steph53

Steph, if you say things like that, I'm going to go back and comment
on camisoles ...

Myoarin...

I posted my comment as a joke because last year Ron asked a question
here about where to get a suit dry cleaned fast because he had
forgotton to take his in. He was scheduled to attend a wedding in a
matter of hours....

BTW: a Researcher answered and all turned out well : )

Steph53

Steph53-ga, thanks for the elucidation.  My comment on camisoles got
lost in the general demise there, although it was really harmless, at
least  in  comparison  to  several  things  that occurred to me  to 
say. Anyway...
Good luck, Ron,

steph53,

heh  heh  heh

I learned my lesson last year.  Now I keep one suit and one pair of
socks clean at all times.  The rest of my wardrobe, of course, is
still encased in the clothes compost pile.
