A rare opportunity has presented itself. About two years ago, Barbara Clark Hovorka, who taught at PCC for 14 years or so, and who has presented around this area frequently, had a request from one of her grandsons who is attending Law School in Chicago, to present a class on African-American Research to a group in Chicago. Barbara had never done one of these -- but always anxious to learn she put her "nose to the grindstone" and this past year presented to an huge African-American Group in Chicago who was so excited they would love to have her back. Well.....Barbara Clark Hovorka will be in this area to present at the Beaverton West "Bridging Generations" Seminar on 23 October, and at the Milwaukie Family History Seminar on 6 November, has announced that she would love to do the African-American Research Class. We would like to invite you to attend this one-of-a-kind and wonderful presentation. It will open to all of us another great field of research that is just now coming into its own. Thursday, 28 October 2004, 7pm to 9 pm Beaverton West Stake S.W. 170th and Bany Road in Aloha Should you have any questions, please don't hesitate to e-mail me off line -- or call me at 503-642-4105. I am so excited that we have this great opportunity to be presented by an entertaining and knowledgeable woman. Shirley Hurrell H-177 [email protected]
