As this podcast is being released on Thanksgiving Day Paul begins by thanking those people who choose to follow the Foundation’s work, those who forward our articles, podcasts and videos to others, and those who donate time and money to the Foundation.
He also addresses the challenges of living at three different homes (Bainbridge Island, Portland and Rancho Mirage) in 2024. We know some donations have been lost in the mail.
Our concern is people will declare a charitable deduction that did not actually happen. By the way, the permanent address of the Foundation is now -
2445 NW Westover Road #311,
Portland, Oregon 97210.
