`  == Thanks, sympathy, connections, and misc. ==  Thanks for alphabetizing Medford notables I should have done that myself.  Sorry your getting flamed so much lately just for making following official Wikipedia policies and guidelines. It would help a lot if users would learn more about these and throttle back their egos. I copied your talk page's discussion to Deathgleaner's talk page, where he can read it.  I've been trying to find out about a world champion lumberjack of the 1960s and 1970s named Melvin ``Mel`` Lentz. It's a little hard to find stuff here in Jackson County, what with #@*&!~ closed libraries and all. I'm sure he lived in Creswell, Oregon in his competitive years. Since he and Fircrest chicken are Creswell's 2 best known exports, I think we should put an artcle up about Mel and a link to Creswell. Can you help? I would also like to put in more about Larry Mahan, one of the greatest rodeo cowboys of all time, who competed out of either Salem or Brooks, Oregon. Same research handicap.   I see you are a fencer. Do you know our fellow Oregon Wikipedian Brady  ? I do volunteer work with him. He studied with Gay Jacobsen D'Asaro. Also do you know my other buddy, John McDougall , who also knows which end of the epee to hold?  I see you are a UU. I have always identified as one, and used to teach Sunday school at the Ashland fellowship.   Keep up the good work and keep being BOLD. `
