'59 classmate Patsy (Sherratt) Theobald reports..."We are in the beautiful State of Oregon where the average temperature along the coast is 70 degrees.  Since we are used to the heat of St, George, UT which can reach 110 in the summer, we are always cold up here and wear sweatshirts most of the time."
