funny guy Winston claims "MarkDaMan might as well be OHSU's community relations chief Lora Cuykendall wife of none other than Bob Caldwell, editor of the Oregonian editorial page."

If only, but funny thing is, there is no scandal here. I don't work for OHSU, have nothing to gain from the tram, other than a better Portland economy, and don't write well enough to get my comments published in the Oregonian.

I do value higher education as I strive to put myself through it. I value hospitals as they have saved the lives of many people I love and I have a tremendous amount of respect for doctors because without them, we'd be a pretty sad, sick country.

It's too bad people like you are trying to demonize Portland largest employer, are only research institution, and our chance at becoming a small scale worldwide biological player. What are your motives Winston?
