You know, I bet he was shooting "So...Birdie --<br />You know, I bet he was shooting "Sometimes a Great Notion," which set in Oregon. The movie came out in 1971, which means it was filmed in either '70 or '71. Never saw the movie, but it was one of my favorite books of all time.

We have a bad cold going through our house, so I'm trying to take it easy. When we saw, Paul Newman, we were on the west coast, my guess is Oregon for some reason, although it could have been California. I know that he was making a movie. I remember my mother saying "hi" to him and then he looked at her. She snapped a picture of him. My mother was very happy.<br /><br />-birdie Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5794535954827182754.post-90989290836517282502015-09-15T21:20:11.523-04:002015-09-15T21:20:11.523-04:00Birdie --
Glad you find reading the blog relaxing....Birdie --<br />Glad you find reading the blog relaxing. I had a similar trip with my parents in the summer of 1971, driving up the West Coast and then back across the country. We went dune buggying in the Oregon dunes, saw the state fair in Salem, Oregon, went to Seattle, and went to Glacier National Park. Memorable.

We saw Mimi Eisenhower at possibly Ike's Presidential library, swam in cold mountain lakes, and had plenty of times when our station wagon overheated (my dsd usually saying, "I'm never going camping again"). It was a memorable trip. <br /><br />-birdieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5794535954827182754.post-23245753544620758972015-09-15T21:08:43.425-04:002015-09-15T21:08:43.425-04:00Birdie --

He was even a good actor, too. <br /><br />Sonds like you had a fun trip.John Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08729625146043379286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5794535954827182754.post-31010515244150536132015-09-15T21:00:59.375-04:002015-09-15T21:00:59.375-04:00Regarding movie stars, as a child, my parents took...Regarding movie stars, as a child, my parents took us (five kids) on a camping trip out west (Ohio to California and back). During our travels, we went to some movie site in Oregon (?) and saw Paul Newman - our mother was thrilled to see him, saying hi to him and snapping his picture. We travelled in our Catalina station wagon with a camper attached to it. That was a fun vacation, back in the early 70's.<br /><br />-birdieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
