[p2p-research] LETS/Community Way in Portland, Oregon, USA.

[Stan Rhodes]

I'm in Portland, I've met Michael Linton before, and I also know Alan
Rosenblith, who was involved with PDX Currency and then Cascadia
Trading Coop.  However I recently talked to Alan (while he was filming
supplementary material for his documentary, The Money Fix) and he
indicated the project was pretty much dead.  Is this a resurrection?
Is it only dead to Alan?

Let me know what's up.
