Dunno if an Infobox is appropriate, but...
...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)


 * 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)


 * 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)


 * 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)
