 The
Chandler & Price traveled to Oregon in June 1991 and became
part of Sandcastle Press.
Doug and his friend Keith
bolted and strapped it onto Keith's family farm trailer and pulled
it up Interstate 5 using his Ford Bronco. It took about
14 hours to make the drive from Los Altos Hills, California to
Junction City, Oregon. The press first went to Keith's garage
and the next weekend was was brought to Gresham to be unloaded
into Doug's printshop. The first Sandcastle Press piece
was printed in Gresham over the 4th of July weekend, 1992.
The piece was an 8 1/2" x 11 " Thank You" note to George.
In 1994 George and Louise
visited Oregon to print their Christmas cards on the Sandcastle
Press. Note the aprons with the two press names --
"Hilltop Hobbies Press" and "Sandcastle Press". Left to
