Your right John And us South Westerners who has driven many times to Olympia, Tacoma, Seattle, and Vancouver, BC. I knew better but fell into the bad habit many do outside the Northwest. Sort of lump Vancouver Washington with Portland Oregon, although they are separated by the Columbia river, Interstate I-5 runs thru them both and it usually takes me a couple minutes to get from one to the other via I-5. Vancouver is as much a suburb of Portland OR as it is a city in Washington. Sloppy thinking on my part. Can you forgive me? One of these days, M$ will probably put a Place Name check into Outlook and catch this kind of flub. Anyway, my point wrst Sheldon & Co. / Cannon / Cannon Cosely is that Vancouver on the Columbia was a significant site for Hudson Bay Company and contains one of several HBC Museums. So, by analogy, Cosely might have a Cannon / Sheldon museum that Tourist Bob would want to visit.
