During this program at Central Library, guest speakers and audience
members joined us on statehood day, February 14, 2009, and shared
why Oregon is their special Valentine.
Formerly of KPTV's Good Day Oregon Home and Garden, David Schmitke
has lived in Oregon since he started going to school at the
University of Portland in 1983. He was a news reporter at
KOIN TV for several years, and met his wife, Helen, at KVAL TV in
Eugene where he worked as a reporter and news anchor for eight
years. David currently lives in Vancouver, but can't wait to
move back to Portland.
