[GreenKeys] Fwd: Re: Teletypes in NW Oregon

Wed Mar 18 20:10:50 EDT 2020

25 miles NE of Astoria?  My parents live in Astoria, wish I was going up there soon but with all the shenanigans going on I won’t make it up there for a few months.  But they have a warehouse and would probably store some items temporarily if needed.
