Sailing on the Columbia River in the 70's was a family affair for the Christensen family! My dad Duane and uncle Jim sailed in the first Oregon Offshore sailing race....here is some scratchy old footage found recently on a family reel. The Cal 2024 Culoco was named after Jim's three children: Curt, Lori & Cori. Bo Knabb's infamous 6 metre Trouble is briefly seen in the video. R.I.P.

This is a home movie my great grandfather Huxley Darwin Kem made of his daughter (my grandmother) Mary Elizabeth Kem Campbell feeding a roadside bear in the 1920's. Reportedly, shortly after this film was made, the same bear sadly attacked, mauled and killed another little girl!

I ran for congress in Oregon in 2020 and was extremely grateful to Roger Stone for this paid Cameo video. This was filmed within weeks of Mr. Stone receiving a pardon from president Trump.
