Hi,
My partner was a VISTA attorney in Oregon in the seventies working withthe Native Americans. We are flying to Washington next month. We are trying to locate another VISTA attorney, who worked with him in Oregon.
They were very good friends in Oregon and lost each other over the past 30 years.
Can you help us?
Thank you. |
