About this ebook
The Portland Tales. The following collection of verse includes short stories that were inspired from my recollections with events, fables and yarns that cover my upbringing here in Portland, Oregon. It is my intent to remember the times that meant the most to me and pass them down for others to enjoy.
These stories are dedicated in memory of those that shared their lives with me (directly and indirectly) and in memory to those that helped shape these foibles. I want to thank my friends and family in helping create these stories, for their inspiration and their love.
