Title: MISSION COMPLETE: Dwight Trahin Retirement Mar 8 2-4pm WTC (2pm meet)
Post by: rtpaynter on February 23, 2007, 01:48:50 PM
""Dwight Trahin’s retirement party, March 8 — Dwight Trahin, manager of WTC Leasing & Administration, is retiring after more than 28 years with PGE. Stop by and help celebrate Dwight’s retirement on Thurs., March 8, between 2 and 4 p.m. at the 2WTC Plaza Conference Room. Refreshments will be served.""

Everyone, this is 'the  man' who has given us the ok to troop the World Trade Center anytime, and gave CCG the Plaza Pro Bono for our DCH fundraiser last year.

Anyone up to crashing a party (in costume)??  so far: Robin, Bill ?, Daverian, & Kyle.

Parking & Gearing Up: On Taylor St (Taylor & Naito) is PMC Public Paid Parking entrance. (Map  searching address: SW Taylor St and SW Front St)
Take a parking ticket & make your way down to the 2nd level-down an interior ramp- 'P2' posts are painted Yellow (not Orange).
We will be suiting up in the onsite gym- Fit Factory- which is located on P2, southwest corner of the level.
Bring your parking ticket with you- Do Not Leave it in your car- it will be validated upstairs. Mucho Gracias, WTC Management.  :D

My cell is: 971.207.9509   :P

I will certainly try, but I can offer no guarantees. My delivery schedule can be pretty hectic... even on the days when I am supposed to be "in the office".

Meet at 2pm. It only takes minutes to suit up, and minutes to get up stairs......

 :oops: Errrr....uhhhh....I still have not gotten the whole suiting up thing down so it will actually take me about 20 minutes to get dressed. Also, I may not have a way to get down there. I will do my best to secure a gunship unless someone is already going to be driving through SE Portland.

Ancient Fan, thank you for offering your time   8)    Time to gear up- though I said a few minutes we can take up to an hour, no problem.
I try and check here throughout the day,  and feel free to call my work or cell # with any questions.
Thank you all again for coming today.   :lol: :lol: This will be a perfect send off for Dwight

Someone open up an album and I'll get them downloaded tonight. "WTC Retirement March 8 2007".
WTC troops are usually short and sweet romps with the big kids, but a good place try out new armor and spend alittle public time.
Thank you all for coming. Pix soon

Kyle - Wish I'd had a movie camera - Here's this menacing knot of Stormtroopers patrolling the streets of downtown Portland, citizens gawking in awe - but the one clone trooper in the pack had a unique stroll - apparently a bit "chaffed" ("ouch, ow, ouch") with his armor biting back at him.

  :D :D :D

Robin,

The gallery is up for you!

(p.s. I'm waiting for some rubber t-rail material so I can finish out your E-11... soon kiddo, very soon!!  :wink: )

I had an awesome time down there. It was a lot of fun. I ended up having to work a little bit late, but not much. I was amazed that I got off work when I did. I totally expected to have worked a lot longer, considering how much time I took off to do this. Yeah... the company doesn't need to know that I goofed off for 2 hours!  :mrgreen: But hey, one of those hours was written off as my lunch, so it is all good!  :wink:

Had fun. I hope the next guy is as accomodating to us as Dwight was. I hope we made his retirement party a little bit more special for him.

So what's the deal? It only let you upload 3? Is someone fixing this? I am anxious to see to fun! and BTW, Dusty said he was posting more DCH pictures, does anybody know who do I need to talk to to be able to access the link?  :?:

Gallery's working fine - I just tested it.

My only suggestion would be to uncheck the create thumbnails now option on the file upload page.  That will make the server create the thumbnails - not your local computer.
