Thank you Al Reser

I photographed the Oregon State Alumni Association Orange and Black dinner last Saturday in Portland. This was the event that Al Reser was honored as the E.B. Lemon Distinguished Alumni Award.

Al died earlier this week.

I did not know him well but had met and photographed him many times over the last 10 years.

The first was after he donated the 10 million to OSU for the naming rights to Reser Stadium. The last was earlier this year at the groundbreaking for the Linus Pauling Institute, which he and his family donated 10.65 million to.

He has done great things for Oregon State University, the school I love, and I wish I would of thanked him earlier.

You can read about him here, I took a lot of the photos you see in the video.
