I am sorry that I will not be over there for the one year anniversary. It was pleasant to meet all of you and get a touch of Alex one more time. I am working contract jobs, as I was last year, but thankfully it put me close to pay last respects. The other Marine who was his roommate worked in the same building as I did at the time, right around the corner, although I never saw him after that.
Funny story, Alex did recommend the building where he was at for me to stay also, to rent a "cube" for the night and it did sound intriguing. But I was nervous since it was post 2016 election and Antifa is certainly active in the Portland area. I certainly relished at the chance to listen to him more, but he was never there, so I located closer to work at another rental location for my temp job. The price was right, $200 a month for a cube, shower in the gym, and sleep in your car (with security) but I never would have gotten to see him since he was busy elsewhere.
