My Virtual Porsche Parade Experience

Well, my 2023 Porsche Parade was essentially virtual from our 400 square foot Casita at the La Quinta Resort. Many of you know this already but I ended up in the ER near the resort on Sunday, the first day of the Parade. I was diagnosed with pneumonia and spent the rest of the week living virtually through my amazing husband, Eric, and member Tom Boulac, who drove down with us to the event. Both of them attended all the special banquets we had signed up for and drove the four tours we had signed up for. I had waited three years to attend this Parade since it was canceled because of COVID.

The best news is that I am home and recovered. Other good news is that our Anzeiger digital newsletter was awarded first place in our class in the National Newsletter competition. My thanks to everyone who contributes to this award-winning newsletter and to my editors, Bob Ellis and Peter Linsky.

More good news is that our drive down to Palm Springs with Tom was fun. We spent most of our time on Interstate 395 from Lakeview to Barstow. There was some amazing scenery. One fascinating tidbit was that the eastern entrance to Yosemite – The Tioga Pass - was still closed due to so much snow - it might still be closed even now. Also, everything was so green because of the hige snowpack this year.

There is lots going on in July, so I am looking forward to seeing you at one of the events. Take a look at the events in the back of this newsletter and in your weekly email blasts. You can always reach me at president@ oregonpca.org n
