Snapshots from the Oregon Mensa BeaveRG-I
April 1998 Regional Gathering

These Pix are only minimally selected, not very processed and captioning is in process.
If you know us at all, you'll know that won't last, so do check back.

If you see faces without names, or faces with the wrong names, or if you have a caption for any of these pictures, please email our webmaster Scott Rainey

Rubber Duckies and bowls of
loaded squirtguns were a major theme

Ken Barron is a much better looking guy
than this picture might suggest
but it's the best picture
we have of him so far.

    After Dinner Speaker: Dr. Al Siebert

    Long time Mensan Al Siebert, gave us an excellent and very funny after dinner presentation.

    Dr. Siebert is a phychologist and author whose life work focuses on the "Survivor Personality." His talk covered his fascination with the way different personality types react to high-stress situations. "Survivors" are identified by their talent for turning adversity - even extreme adversity - into positive changes in their lives.

    He told us some interesting tales of the early days of American Mensa.

    Al took a prize for being a great hugger.

    His websites are: http://www.thrivenet.com and http://www.survivorstories.com

Though some found our activities more puzzling than others.

If you can resist comments like "This proves most Mensans are a
little bit dingey," we'll tell you about how much fun and highly mathematical
"change ringing"
is. Those who were here know very well.

As tough as ringing a single bell at the right time can be....
Imagine if you were ringing TWO or even FOUR bells.
That's exactly what Jenny Foster and Lea Montaire are doing here... playing music, not posing.
