In college, I had an ANTH professor whom wrote her dissertation about the Valley of Sickness. She said it was coined as such due to a large plague that killed a vast pop of natives here. In fact, as Eugene Skinner settled here he found several natives in the hills to avoid the plague. I live in Eugene. Ever heard this?
I really liked that talk. I think you are really coming into your own. It was pretty impressive. The Q and A was the best part. You really answered every question well with a wealth of knowledge and adressed every point.

Hey Shannon,
Yes, I wrote a bit about the myth of the “Valley of Sickness”. It’s not true. I’d love to see that dissertation though.
