Gerry Frank's Oregon is a culmination of years of writing for The Oregonian Travel Section and getting to know the nooks and crannies of the state. Before he began writing travel articles, Gerry spent a good part of his life as chief of staff to the late Senator Mark Hatfield; working together for a quarter-century, visiting every corner of Oregon's geography on constitutent swings. Coming from a "department store" family with state roots before the area was even called Oregon, Gerry has been cajoled, and asked, and downright demanded upon, to write a book about the Meier & Frank Co. and adventures and opportunities that have come his way. He has compromised, offering recommendations of places to stay and eat, things to do, and reminding readers of intriguing folks (past and present) throughout Oregon, along with tidbits of state history and personal stories.
