Ooh, looky![edit]

...what Google Books has to offer -Pete (talk)

Also, Eliot Hall is the main building at Reed College, named after him. [1] -Pete (talk) 22:26, 2 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Dunno if an Infobox is appropriate, but...[edit]

...I started one, using the info on the page. Move it over if you want it, delete if you don't. (Just havin' a little fun, keeping my skills up a bit!) — Martha (talk) 01:01, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Looks great, Mom! I'll leave it to EncMstr whether to include it, as he seems to be taking the lead on this article. But I think it would make a really nice addition -- good work! -Pete (talk) 04:49, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That's kind, but I expect you to do what's best for the article, not defer to me. But I added it with some additional fields I know of. —EncMstr (talk) 06:11, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I was really happy to see this article partly because I was able to link to it from Forest Park (Portland). Thanks everybody. Finetooth (talk) 00:32, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
