Thinking of the Floren family in the big house on 16th & Clifton. I thought your family was soooooo worldly, because you knew about Import Plaza and ate exotic food from other countries, like tacos!

So many memories of Marge and Costa and where to start: Jewel Lansing's campaign; Greek dancing, xmas cards over the past 30 years. Wow, how did we get so older. Costa, I hope you are doing well or the best you can. I will try to get I touch with you but need an address phone number or email. Much love to you Costa: Yia Sou adelphos

I have such fond memories of working alongside Marge at OPB. In those days, I wrote a statewide newsletter for Oregon K-12 schools.

I will be forever grateful for the many things Marge taught me about what it takes to be a competent writer. My condolences to Costa and the family.

Dear Floren family, We gave many fond memories of your mom from many a family gathering or celebration at the Heron home on 54th. Sending our deepest condolences and love, Maxine and Ned
