In April 2000, we visited the neighborhood in Portland, Oregon, where Beverly Cleary's Ramona books are set. There is a park there, with life-size bronze statues of Ramona, Henry Huggins, and Ribsy, his dog. These pictures were kindly taken by Doug's college friend Mike Butts, because we forgot our camera. Here Sarah, Claudia, and Doug stand with Ramona. | |
