Thanks to another grant from the Kinsman Foundation, we are currently producing a second oral history DVD on mill work at Crown Zellerbach, West Linn, from 1928-1986. Look for this new documentary, with 'the rest of the stories', in December, 2007. Subjects covered in the second installment will include fish stories and reminiscences about the West Linn Inn and the part it played in mill and community life.

Thanks for attending our Saturday, February 17 West Linn Premier of  "Grindstones, Boomsticks, Tattletales and Nips--the people and the stories of Crown Zellerbach International, West Linn Division, 1928-1986"

Doors to the High School's new auditorium opened at 4:30.  Refreshments in the lobby at intermission were the result of the generosity of Bolton Market of Choice, Bolton Starbucks, Bales' West Linn Thriftway, West Linn Safeway and Costco Foods.  The Programs were sponsored by West Linn Paper Company and West Linn Copy Center, with facility sponsorship through Paul Toole's State Farm Insurance and West Linn High School Social Studies Department.  The original noon whistle from the West Linn mill was on display through the kindness of owner Don Pendergraft. 

(All proceeds supported our continuing oral history work with the stories of papermaking.)
