Description
A fifth-generation Oregonian, McOmie is a journalist, author, and teacher who realized he hadn’t seen enough of his native state and he has spent much of his thirty-year career as a news reporter exploring Oregon. He ended up enjoying his getaways so much that he decided to share these “teachable moments with touchable history” in a new Grant’s Getaways series of guidebooks.
