The Oregonian Gentleman

The Oregonian Gentleman speaks loudest through his actions. He tips street musicians. He jumps into freezing rivers to save injured animals. He handwrites letters to friends and family.

 

The Oregonian Gentleman is sensitive. Like a hunter. He stays alert, wide-eyed, ear to the tree and hand on the ground. He is sensitive to every breath and branch snap.

 

The Oregonian Gentleman is resourceful. To live within nature's obvious boundaries he salvages all that he can. Often he resembles a beaver or a squirrel due to his so-called “junk collection”.

 

The Oregonian Gentleman is a dying breed. Only you can keep him alive.
